Chapter 12
When The Air Was Falling for the Moon
"Was there any air on the moon upon the sky?"
#WINisWIND
I kept focusing on the rose from P'In for a whole day. I couldn't even concentrate on my afternoon class. I kept recalling the moment that P'In was walking toward me and handed the rose to me among many people surrounded. At that time, he was only looking at me, only focusing on me. Why? I couldn't even think of any reason. Why did P'In give the rose to me?
"It suits you."
Although he said a reason, I still didn't understand.
Did this rose really suit me?
My friends were talking about the Rose day, they were all curious about who got the rose from P'In. Somehow, it seemed like my fading trait was apparently extraordinary. Because on both MWTV or fans' cameras, I hadn't been recorded at all, not even a second. So it became a super mysterious topic — Where was P'In's rose now?
My hubby is In
Why I couldn't see! God! I could have died from my curiosity. IN gave the rose to whom?
DomKati Only
Male or female? No way! Can't be true! I want his rose too. Can P'In give it to me?
Wanna eat Kati
Since we couldn't see who got it, then IN's rose belonged to all DomKati.
P'In Jaa
*crying* Who got his rose? So envious. I want it too. Can I steal it? Well, that's impossible. Because I even don't know who got his rose.
I couldn't concentrate on my class, as well as couldn't keep my attention away from Twitter, many tweets still mentioned P'In's rose. They were so curious, and I was worried. Because P'In's rose, which was in the centre of social media attention, was now carefully kept in my bag. What if some fans knew? I might have to run away from the rose robber. Thank god for my invisibility! It wasn't often that I felt glad of my invisible curse.
"Hey, look, So then the one who got P'Wayu's rose was a giant girl, she is our university's weight-lifter. Not surprising, we should be this strong to rob it!"
I heard my friends were gossiping about today's event.
"Oh right! and who got P'In rose?"
"Yeah. I'm also curious. So envious!"
"WIN. Did P'In say anything about this?" Parn suddenly asked me.
I was startled, nervously. Then, I just realised she probably randomly asked because P'In was my buddy-code family. So they expected I might know something.
"Well, I didn't talk to him recently." I wasn't good at lying, so I avoided answering.
To be honest, I would like to tell everyone that I was actually the one who got P'In's rose. Still, I didn't understand myself as well. Like I was afraid if I told other people, they would end up by keep asking me to see the rose. And then. That rose — P'In's rose, it wouldn't be just mine anymore.
Normally, I wasn't a type of person who was obsessed with stuff, However, this P'In's rose, I was unwilling to share it with anyone.
I wanted it to be the only mine.
"Hi everyone! Welcome to UNISTAR SHOWTIME again! Today we are together with these five handsome UNISTARs!"
I didn't understand myself again. Since I came back to my dorm. I was wondering about how each Unistar member thought about love. How was their perspective of love? What kind of their ideal girlfriend? Especially P'In.
I couldn't even realise when I started to be interested in this. Anyway, It was too late now, since I already typed 'Unistar love' on Google search bar, and found this video - it was specially recorded only for discussing Unistar's love and fans.
Interviewer: Well, it seemed like each Unistars has a similar number of fans, and the fans are different target groups right? Can you tell me more about this?"
Leo: Alright // volunteered himself.
Leo: It depends on the fans' personality as well. For example, P'Sea has the most number of male fans. Most of N'Natee's and N'Wayu's fans are BL lovers. And N'In is a very special one, he doesn't have any anti-fans at all.
Interviewer: What about N'Leo? What kind of fans do you have the most?
Sea: N'Leo has a lot of genius student fans.
Interviewer: Oh! I see. No wonder, because N'Leo is very smart like a model of the excellent student."
Then, The host was asking about their ideal type of girlfriend. P'Sea said he didn't have any specific, just knowing this person was the right one for him was enough. P'Leo said he liked a small, cute, gentle and kind person. P'Wayu came with a little joke like any type was okay, just loved him that's all. P'Natee said he liked a person who was both cute and sexy at the same time.
Now it was P'In's turn. I was too excited as I bit my nail along.
Interviewer: What about N'In? Do you have any idea what type of person that you like?
IN: //Thinking.
Interviewer: Do you have any? Do you? //trying hard to get him to reply.
IN: Don't have. //Emotionless.
Interviewer: Well, how about changing the question. Do you have anything that you particularly like?
All other UNISTARs: Coconut-milk //Everyone answered unanimously.
Interviewer: I see, then N'In should like a person who is good at cooking coconut-milk dishes right?
IN: No.
Interviewer: Hmm? Why not?
IN: I like food, Why should I like the cook? //Still emotionless.
"Oh my god, that's hurt." I murmured.
How did he say something so direct with no emotion and kind of innocent face like that.
He just liked to eat. it didn't mean he should like the one who cooked.
Well, it seemed to be true. Probably.
Interviewer: Now come to question from the UNITY fans. There are some fans asking this question: Can all Unistars vote on which member will be the first one who gets married?
Most of the Unistars were looking at P'Wayu.
Interviewer: N'Wayu? Why is it N'Wayu ka?
Leo: Perhaps, he has the most love experience among us.
Sea: Plus his flirting joke.
Natee+IN : //No comment.
Interviewer: Really? N'Wayu thinks that way too?
Wayu: If I am going to get married to a 'fan', everyone in DomWhai. I'm ready to say yes now.
No wonder, P'Wayu fans commented crazily on this part. I quite agreed with other Unistars. His way of flirting jokes, sometimes unfunny though. Still. Many girls would be ready to put him in the groom suit.
Interviewer: Well, well, how about the opposite question. We know that all of the Unistar members are so handsome. Is there anyone who will be single for their whole life?
As soon as she asked, everyone was turned to P'In, all together.
Interviewer: N'In? Why? N'In is incredibly handsome. Will you be on the boat beam[1]? Seriously?
IN: ...//Still considering.
Leo: Well, Let me say...It seems like N'In doesn't care about this either.
Sea: After he graduated, N'In might become the monk throughout his life. Hahaha just kidding.
Interviewer: Oh! Has N'In ever had a girlfriend before?
In: //Shook his head.
Interviewer: And do you wanna get married to someone?
In: I don't know. //Numb expression.
I was both worried and relieved after hearing this. On one side, P'In was too high to reach, on the other side, P'In wouldn't belong to anybody.
Many comments below also said that coconut-milk was the only thing that he liked. So, DomKati — of course, DomCoconutMilk, would be the only thing that P'In love the most. We would be together forever.
What about me? Now I was his only buddy-code brother. Would I be the person that he only cared for as well?
Why? I touched my chest. Feeling strange. My heart was beating so fast.
Interviewer: By the way, many fans love to see Unistar members pairing up imaginary lovers, like N'Leo and N'Sea, also, N'Natee and N'Wayu. But N'In was still alone. Will there be any chance that N'In might get an imaginary lover too?
I was a bit frightened by this question. Imaginary lover? It was true that P'In didn't have one. Yet, thinking about the future, supposing he might have one. I felt like losing my heart.
In this video, P'In was just silent like he had no idea about this either. So other members helped him to reply.
Leo: I don't think N'In will have. Because actually DomKati doesn't like N'In having an imaginary lover. N'In image is very positive. He is the model of social responsibility. His fans would be concerned as this could affect his image negatively.
Netee: Yeah! P'In used to be cast as the main actor of BL drama. However, P'Kwang must change to another actor instead.
Sea: Right. DomKati wants N'In to be only single, technically, no pairing up with any male and female. //Laughing.
Leo: It's true. But in the case of N'Natee and N'Wayu is totally opposite. The fans want them to be a real couple. Obviously.
Wayu: Have you ever asked me? Why would I like to be with that bad mouth Moon? //Frowning.
Netee: Hey! No eyes. Super handsome like me. Everyone would like to be with me, of course.
Wayu: What the hell! My eyes aren't big, but I have eyes. Shut your dog-mouth up!
After that, P'Natee and P'Wayu were arguing. So I stopped here.
I couldn't get rid of the thought that DomKati didn't like P'In having an imaginary lover. I searched on Twitter, then I understood.
P'In's image was so pure. so the fans wouldn't let any negative impact on him happen. For example, when P'In got the main actor role of BL drama. Instead of supporting, the fans were offensive about this. Even though this drama wouldn't have any intense love scenes, they were still worried about his image. Since the fans became more and more aggressive, MW Entertainment thereby decided to change the actor.
Not only P'In didn't care about love, his fans also didn't want P'In to have love. No surprise, now he was the Unistar who most likely to be on the beam.
Anyhow, this choice was probably the best for him.
Including me. I was relieved about this as well.
The next day, I woke up a little late but still caught the class in time. I sat with Boss and his friend, badly, they hadn't stopped talking about P'In's rose yet. Also, now I knew how P'In's fans would think about this, so I wouldn't even dare to mention it. If the fans found out that P'In gave the rose to a man, it would affect his reputation eventually. Even I was so glad to have his rose though.
At the noon break, when I followed my friends for lunch. And P'Noey came to talk with us at that time.
"N'Boss ka, Please come to room 300 tomorrow." P'Noey said.
"Krub. What's the matter?" Boss seemed a little confused.
"Congrats to you. N'Boss is nominated to be our business faculty's Moon candidate of this year!"
"Wow! Really?" "OMG! Congrats!"
All my friends were so excited. I indeed felt glad for him. Although I was a bit jealous, to be honest, I had been dreaming of this sort of chance too. But right now, only be existed in someone's eye was enough.
"Thank you P'Noey krub." Boss smiled, happily.
"So I'll be the business faculty Moon?"
"Well, there is another candidate." P'Noey looked at the list.
"May I ask please? What is the criteria for selecting the candidate?" Boss asked.
"I didn't choose, IN did."
"Ahhh P'In!" Female friends were screaming.
When I heard of P'In's name, I barely controlled my thoughts.
P'In chose Boss as one of the faculty Moon candidates. No wonder, Boss was good-looking, sport-type, smart, kind and friendly. He indeed appropriated for the Moon position, he could compete with other faculties. Honourably.
Furthermore, being the faculty Moon was a chance to win the university Moon. Next step, he would be nominated to participate in the UNISTAR contest. If Boss could reach that path. God. So envious. I could shout through the whole world that I have a friend who was the Unistar member!
"Excuse me. Did P'Noey say that there is another one who is gonna compete with Boss?" Parn asked.
"Yep." P'Noey nodded.
"Who? who?" Everyone was curious. Impatiently.
"Is Archawin Deshsakul here?"
I flinched as she asked.
Wait. It was my name, wasn't it?
"Yes?" I responded three times until she turned to me.
"Oh, it's you. IN's buddy family. You got IN's signature too." P'Noey seemed excited.
"It's me." I was very nervous.
"Congrats! Please come to room 300 tomorrow. We'll decide the finalist candidate for our business faculty Moon and Star."
"Huh?" I gasped, shocked.
What did she just say?
Not only me who was surprised though, but my friends also.
"Me? the Moon candidate? I don't think I'm qualified for that." I was just honest to myself.
"I don't know either. But IN chose you." She said.
"You may have some hidden talent, don't you?"
"Really?" I had no idea how to respond.
Did it mean that P'In literally picked me to compete with Boss?
Was he a temporary blind? What? How could he choose me!
"Wow. Congrats WIN. See you tomorrow." Boss smiled at me.
After P'Noey was gone. Everyone was gathering to congratulate the faculty Moon nominees. Some friends were talking to me, but Boss got much more attention as always.
For me. I couldn't help but wonder, this was beyond my expectation and my perception.
So I hurriedly said goodbye to my friend after finishing afternoon class. I looked at my cell phone for a second, then called P'In straightaway.
It took a while until he answered.
"Hello, P'In. Are you free right now?" I asked immediately.
"(Free...two minutes.)" He answered shortly.
But two minutes was more than enough for me.
"P'In krub, P'Noey told me that you had nominated me and Boss to be the faculty Moon candidate?"
I expected that he would refuse and told me it wasn't true.
But it turned out...
"(Yes)" He said with a common tone.
"What? Me? To be the Moon? If you chose the wrong name, you should re-select it" I almost cried.
My opponent was Boss. I felt like I could die from embarrassment.
Not only I was an unrecognised name freshman, but I was also extremely invisible whenever I was with Boss.
"(Not wrong.)" P'In confirmed.
"Wait...You really chose me?" I didn't understand even more.
"(Yes.)"
"Why did you choose me?"
My question made P'In silent for a moment before he replied.
"(Come here)"
"Huh? Yes?" I was confused.
Apparently, my question and his answer weren't in the same direction at all.
"(Can you?)" He asked again.
"Where to go?" I doubted. I couldn't understand him. But, why was my heart beating like this?
"(Come over here)"
"Huh?" I was muddled.
Come over here — meant go to see P'In over there?
"Where are you now?" So I asked.
P'In was quiet around seconds, then I heard he was asking about the location of his place. I guessed he was talking with his manager. He was working, I guessed
"(Mineral Wales mall)" P'In said.
"Uh..Yes." I was thinking. It was a shopping mall in the city centre. I could take the sky train.
"(Know the place?)" He continued asked.
"I know krub." I accepted.
"(Then come now)"
"Huh...I need to go right now?"
"(Yes.)"
"Uhhh..." I just ran out of the word.
I wanted to meet P'In, honestly, but it was a bit rushed.
"(Can't come?)"
I probably didn't say a word for a moment, so he asked.
"I can go, P'In."
After he hung up. I was still confused.
P'In wasn't only choosing me to be the faculty Moon nominee, numbly, he also asked me to see him right now, numbly.
No doubt, He was indeed the numb moon as his title.
Well, even I couldn't understand him, but I was smiling. Thoughtlessly.
It was a bit of pleasure to see P'In, wasn't it?
