2gether The Series, Chapter 25: CTRL+S (3)

S=Sarawat, T=Tine

The semifinals of the music festival are here and everyone on stage looks excited. the members of CTRL+S are trying to find a way to calm down and reduce the tight scared emotion. Only Sarawat is... Sitting down and eating! This guy is not nervous about anything.

Dim was no slouch, sitting leisurely with Sarawat, rocking and shakily holding up a fork. They also formed a group called "Sunshine, Daisies.

And the band "Ripe Avocado", is the seniors band in the music club and I are am curious about the name of the band.

Where the inspiration came from, probably from Harry Potter.

(*) Ron's "sunshine, daisies and yellow" in "Harry potter" dialogue.

P’Mill's band was concentrating on tuning the guitar, and this time he wasn't concentrating on me and we're more or less relieved to not have anyone to mess with or threaten us. His band is called the Rhythm, but it seems they all like cause other people trouble.

“The much-anticipated 2016 festival is here!! “The voice of the host on stage rang out. I turned to Sarawat. and gave it to him some encourage.

T: "Be the best you can be and I'll be at the front of the stage with you cheering."

S: "Hmm. Cheer me on."

T: "Go for it."

S: "I'll make you proud."

T: "I'll be impressed, but will you stop eating?"

S: "You bought it, it's delicious."

T: "When the game is over, you can keep eating."

S: "Dim will eat it all up before I get to it."

T: "I don't want to argue with you, I'll go to the front of the stage for a moment. I'm rooting for you."

S: "Give me a kiss."

T: “There's a lot of people around, xsshole."

Before I could react, Sarawat pulled me over and took the opportunity to kiss me on the forehead. The screams all around me overwhelmed me.

The semifinals are held in the school's theater, seating on a low to high grade level alignment. My friends and I sat close to the front row and cheered, the view is clear too. At the front and back of the theater seats, center.

There is a display screen at the center, and here is the best view.

The cheerleaders started running in and there was barely room to sit. Some of Sarawat's wives harem, even brought a pull banner in the highest corner of the 2nd floor so that they can clearly see the CTRL+S on stage.

P: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Perk picked up the phone, and I took a selfie.

T: "No, just worried about Sarawat, he still keeps eating."

P: "Leave him alone."

Next to him sat the White Tiger Gang. Looks like they were prepared for this fight, they even came even with extra shirts and neck pillow?

"Are you ready?"

"Ready~"

"Are you ready? Didn't hear."

"Ready~"

MC: "Let's meet the first band 1 Blackboard Story band."

The cheers were accompanied by music. The band members all appeared in front of us, with the spotlight shining straight to the center of the stage. Some applauded, others waved their hands to the music.

The first set of bands ended and the second set took the stage. Group after group came.

In the past, P'Dim's band was slotted for the 6th part. Sarawat’s band was in the 12th.

No. It's gonna be a long time before we get to CTRL+S. Maybe I should just get some sleep.

I got up and went to the bathroom 2 times and went out to eat with Ohm.

Fong asked me to buy more water. When I came back, it wasn't CTRL+S, so I just, uh, leaned back in my seat and lazed around for it.

People cheered and I didn’t pay any attention until the man sitting next to me nudged me.

Only then did I focus on center stage again.

"We are CTRL+S!!!"

(A cheer goes up from the stage.)

Oddly enough, despite the number of people standing on stage, I only tuned them off and focused on the man, the one with the guitar, with no expression on his face.

Taem spoke for a moment, and the cheers and the joyous music went up. The rule for the semifinals is that each group must sing one slow song.

CTRL+S chooses to play DCNXTR's Summer Rain and The Yers Festival song - Line race.

The cheers were louder than all the groups had just been. Everyone was loud and shouting, hand-waving, singing non-stop, but at first everyone said they don't know the title of the song. It's Som who printed songs for everyone to solve the problem. We could hear every single one of them in the theater.

MC: "Give CTRL+S a round of applause."

(cheers from the stage)

MC: "Introduce yourself to the group." After the show, the moderator

People continue to interview the players, trying to create an atmosphere that many watch.

The much-anticipated time.

"Hello. I'm Taem, the lead singer."

"Hello. This is Earn, the guitarist."

"Jane, bass player."

"Non, I’m the keyboardist."

"Boom, please support."

S: "Hello."

"Aaaaahhhhhh, my husband! My husband!" Shouts echoed, Sarawat picked up the microphone and start introducing himself. He wore a black T-shirt with the band's name on it and his favorite jeans, and wearing black canvas shoes. It all seems too perfect, I couldn't help but say in my heart.

MC: "Someone asking if Sarawat’s lover came here today?"

(The crowd cheers and screams.)

MC: "Is your lover here?" Sarawat doesn't answer, just smiles. The stage spotlight that was shining on him disappeared in front of him. Soon, my dumbfounded face appeared on the top screen.

MC: "What's the guy's name? Time? Tine?"

(The crowd cheers and screams.)

MC: "A guy who is a cheerleader?"

MC: "Law Faculty?"

MC: "Sitting up front?" I don't know where to hide, the other female presenter asked again.

MC: "Really?"

S: "... "After a moment, the camera turns to Sarawat again, Luckily yes, he just smiled and didn't respond, just had a shy look.

MC: "A lot of people are curious what CTRL+S means, and why did you choose that name?" Since there is no answer from Sarawat,

The MC went on to ask other questions and Earn was the representative who answered them

E: "CTRL+S is a shortcut key combination for computers, and we believe that our brains have hard drives that store information, and we want to save and remember the good feelings."

(The crowd cheers and screams.)

MC: "Who came up with that name?"

E: "Sarawat."

"My husband! My husband!"

MC: "So let's ask Sarawat, what was the inspiration for the name?"

S: "People around me."

MC: "Say, who are those people?"

S: "Family, friends and..."

S: “Tine."

At that moment, my whole world... It was spinning around and around and around and was screaming ... only Sarawat in front of me.

The CTRL+S band goes into the final round as expected, with P'Mill's Rhythm

Dim's "Sunshine”, “Daisy Blossoms and Ripe" and also band "Ripe Avocado" was disqualified. Freshmen got a chance to make fun of Dim. They, say the music club seniors failed and was disqualified. Dim threatened by saying anyone who talks bull about a shit about a disqualified band will be kicked out the music society.

The grueling training for the final week has begun. Every day, I follow Sarawat to the place where they go to practice and I always fall asleep. Occasionally Sarawat needs a heart support and I would listen to music in the lounge, the White Tiger Gang and some friends would come and stay with me, because Sarawat is afraid I'll be alone.

Just like tonight, we have an honored guest who's been chasing and begging me - Green.

T: "I heard you had a fight with P’Dim, didn't you?" I asked,

Green he cried, looking like he only wanted to win one game.

G: “The person I can't get over is Tine, we should be in a relationship, me and you." Damn. Don't touch me. I already have a boyfriend. I quietly moved and try to keep a distance from Green for fear of being bullied, to be honest, or it could be the worst horror film in Thai cinema history.

T: "If only you could make up with Dim that will be a lot better." In order not to be burdened with the social belt and I want to have them make up.

G: "If he doesn't listen to me, I have to get rid of him. He doesn't want to break up. He is saying I have to wait till the day he dies then I'll have a chance to find a new man.

Friend." What a wicked idea that suits Green well.

T: "I'm really curious. Do you like Dim?" I've been thinking about it for a long time, and he's so mean that it makes me ask involuntarily wanting to know what character of Dim is likable.

G: "What I like is Tine."

T: "Seriously, watch out what you say or I will I kick you."

G: "I like him, we have been together for a long time and I want to look for a new one.”

I don't know what's so good about being with someone who's so mean.

I'm sorry.

T: "So you've also got the idea of finding a new love interest, right?"

G: "I've thought about it before, but halfway through, my heart isn't strong enough. Fortunately, he came to me, because he knew that I couldn't escape from him in the end."

T: "And then you were happy?”

Green had a whimsical smile

G: "If I wasn't happy, I wouldn't want to be with that person."

T: "..."

G: "It's like being together now is more than just being close, there's always a lot of fun in doing things together."

It wasn't until now that I realized that Green had his romantic side as well.
