Cupid Last Wish, Chapter 6

   Chapter 6:

   Phonuma looked happier than the past few days, because today when she comes home to see her youngest daughter is here, although somewhat shocked to see Thapakorn but Chanonn reaffirms that Sawin had ordered it.

   “Trust me, Aunt Phon. Win made a vow to me that he couldn’t take care of the ranch. I should ask Tha step in here in a very special case.” Chanonn said so and the more Phonuma’s daughter gave a short nod as if yes, Phonuma had some confidence that if Sawin woke up to receive it. Knowing that Thapakorn came here, her son wouldn’t be so angry.

   “You have promised, not Nephew, Win wakes up tomorrow and yells throughout the hospital. knowing that someone else is taking care of this ranch instead.” Inthra, who sat at the dinner table, couldn’t help but be sarcastic.

   “Aunt Inn… h… How long will you be here? Shouldn’t you go back to Bangkok? It’s useless to stay here.” The niece, Inthra always thought she was soft-headed, had no voice, was speaking like that and made her hiccup.

    “Uh...and...and Phii Tha? Will you start working?” Someone just realized that he wasn’t acting like ‘Lalin’, pretending to be interested in Thapakorn who was sitting on the opposite side of him instead.

    “Yeah.”

   “Then hurry up and eat, I will take you.”

   “It’s late Lin, what do you want him to do?” Phonuma turned to her daughter. It’s dark like this is not the time to wander around the ranch at all. The girl’s big round eyes turned to look with determination and hardness like a mother’s frustration, because she had raised this child for 22 years, she had never seen Lalin’s eyes look like Sawin like this before.

    “Working has nothing to do with time, mom.” Words are as decisive as Sawin, there is no mistake. Phonuma stared at her daughter in disbelief but the other party didn’t pay attention to her eyes. Quickly turn around and put some rice into his mouth, this meal method is not like Lalin.

   ... Strange... Ever since Lalin woke up from an accident, she’s become like Sawin as if in the wrong place!

   “Aunt Phon what is it?” Thapakorn saw Phonuma staring at the thin woman who was looking forward to eating, so had to ask because she was afraid that the other party might be suspicious of something. This time, Sawin’s entry into Lalin’s body is something that Phonuma should not be aware of, as it will bring so much trouble and questions to this unfortunate widow.

   ... A question that even they were worried about…

   ... Sawin is in Lalin’s body, where is the real Lalin? Since Sawin’s body is still lying unconscious in the hospital…

   Phonuma turned to look at the tall man who had the status of fiancée of Lalin’s future fiancé and smiled faintly.

    “No, I just saw Lin and thought of Win.” Her words made the three people at the dining table freeze. Even the woman who was quickly scooping rice into her mouth froze her spoon in mid-air.

    “That’s it! Lin woke up this time, she really looks like Nephew Win. In the past, I didn’t think they were the same.” Inthra went with a smirk at the end, “... well, I don’t know if you act like you’re replacing Nephew Win or not.”

    The girl’s big round eyes immediately glanced at her own real aunt, from the beginning she was stunned at her mother’s words. Instead, she became displeased by Inthra’s sarcastic remarks.

    “So, let’s go back to Bangkok tonight, I’ll let someone send you.” Sawin, who has never bowed to anyone and quickly cuts the line first, his eyes fixed on Inthra’s gaze. Satisfied too.

   “I am not going back! Until Nephew Win recovers. I’ll be here to testify to Nephew Win that while he was lying innocently in the hospital, who was nibbling his inheritance here? Even though the name of the owner of this ranch is Nephew Win and Tha, don’t forget that Amon wrote in the end that I can come and live here anytime until I die, so! You have no right to kick me out of here!”

   The niece’s big round eyes looked at the talker with contempt.

   “Then prepare to find a place to store the bones after death, because your father will only allow you to stay here until before death but after you die. I can assure you that the bones will not be kept in this house!” Finished speaking, the frail woman rose from her chair.

   “I am going to work as a first time mom. Nonn, once you’re done, take him to the office too.” Phonuma’s daughter excused her mother and ordered quickly in a single sentence and walked out of the dining room. Leaving Chanonn and Thapakorn to look into each other’s eyes, too, for fear that a bold statement doesn’t deserve Lalin, causing both Phonuma and Inthra to wonder.

   “You look! Look at Lin, Phii Phonn! I don’t know when the car crashed, her head hit something! She revived it to a ghostly mouth screen like this! This is Nephew Win clearly divided the sector! I can’t eat anymore! I’m going to lie down and think about it first, how to make sure that after death there is still a place to store bones!” Inthra shook her head and walked out of the dining room again.

   “Tha when you two left together, Lin like this?” Phonuma turned to ask the young man sitting beside him in a low voice. Lalin’s disrespectful attitude made her worried and worried that it might be the result of the accident.

    “Uh... I mean... how is it…

    “Well... it’s like Nephew Win here...” Thapakorn glanced at Chanonn before turning to give the widow a faint smile.

    “Lin is still the same Lin.”

   “Some turn around, probably because the body hasn’t healed well yet. Aunt Phon, she’s a little better.” Chanonn relied on his doctorship to reaffirm Phonuma’s peace of mind, although Phonuma was worried but when the two young men confirmed that Lalin was still Lalin. She could only let go, this time she was just worried about whether Sawin would wake up or make her unable to eat or sleep. If we had to worry about Lalin one more time, she didn’t know if I could take it anymore.

   “Aunt Phon take it easy, both Lin and Win will get better.” Thapakorn reiterated with a smile of encouragement.

   “Then we will be eyes and ears again.” Chanonn confirmed as well. The woman sitting at the head of the table looked at the young man who was his son’s little friend, then smiled faintly, nodding his head in acknowledgment.

   “Thank you very much Nonn and Tha. Thank you very much.”

   …

   The workers in the office were all gone when Thapakorn and Chanonn arrived. Now Sawin’s office is not locked as Manat told Inthra last evening. In addition, a slender woman walked and picked up a bunch of files from the file shelf behind a large desk and set it up on a small table in front of the sofa.

   “Hey, you took out so many files, are you going to give the whole ranch to Tha?” asked Chanonn, eyes widening but it looks like the person being teased doesn’t enjoy it, because he immediately glanced at him.”

   “If you want to work here, then you need to know what you need to know and all the files here are what you need to know. This isn’t a playground, you’ll faint if you just saw the other files. I recommend that you go back to Bangkok tonight!” After that sentence, the big round eyes glanced at the tall figure standing behind the young doctor, Chanonn glanced at Thapakorn. That way just sighed softly but didn’t seem to walk away.

   “Okay, get in the same boat, don’t hit it yet. Come on, is there something I can help you with?” Chanonn remains the one who solves the situation no matter how old he is. He walked to push the girl to sit on the sofa, then Thapakorn stepped foot in and sat on the other sofa. The young doctor looked at the two-people sitting far apart and sighed deeply.

    “Oh! I’ll be watching, sitting in different corners like this, how do you teach each other?” Chanonn said, letting the two of them know and then it seemed like both Thapakorn and Sawin were really starting to realize that besides they were sitting on the sofa. Each of them sits too far apart to teach each other.

    The girl’s big round eyes glanced at Thapakorn before lowering her gaze to the empty space beside her as a melody for the other party to move towards him. Instead of himself moving and once again a tall figure with no mouth to make a sound, he just let out a sigh of relief and rose from the sofa where he sat on the same sofa as the thin but fiercer woman.”

   Chanonn looked at the one male and one female sitting in front of him, even though the ‘female’ side was the one who ordered the male to move closer. But the guy who said it still left the kind of distance that he could sit comfortably in the middle.

   “In the old days, when Tha taught you homework, did you two fuck faces sit this far apart?” Then a diligent person who teases and digs up old stories to tease the kind that makes the person who used to be taught by Thapakorn in frustration with stiff-necked homework.

    “Don’t you have to be on duty today?” Sawin asked in a firm voice but the young doctor who had been accustomed to this kind of voice from time immemorial waved his hand.

   “No, I’m free all night.” The bright lips were about to move towards Chanonn but the warmth from the tall and thick body moved closer, with a booming voice.

   “Don’t mess with him, what does he know about? Let’s talk about work.” Sawin blinked his eyes as he was still stumped on moving closer to the other party but because Thapakorn seemed to have turned his attention to the folder. All he could do was pick up a folder and unfold it and briefly describe the ranch work.

    In the room, there was only a sweet voice but short, concise sentences that sounded continuously. Sometimes there is a voice of Thapakorn asking questions periodically. Chanonn made no more noise. He watched as his two best friends, who now seemed to have completely forgotten the anger they had before.

   The young doctor quietly sat in the chair behind the desk and fell asleep happily.

   ... If Sawin and Thapakorn were able to go back to how they were before, a friend like him who had seen that picture since childhood would have been happier than anyone…

   …

   Although he is named as one of the two owners of Warodom ranch, Thapakorn has never been involved in this place, so today he has to learn all the documents. The young man had to spend a lot of time, the tutor’s voice was silent as he concentrated on all the documents about the ranch workers. Realizing that the sound of the person beside him had disappeared, he turned around and saw that the thin woman had fallen asleep with her neck folded down.

    Even while asleep, Thapakorn felt that the other party was more Sawin than Lalin. Even if Sawin is the only spirit that resides in Lalin’s physical body.

   The wind from the air conditioner blew back and forth with the swing of the hinges, and part of the wind fell on the sleeping figure. I don’t know what to think but the young man got up and went to grab Sawin’s sweater which was hanging on the railing beside the door and wrap it up thinly.

    “Oh, I want someone to cover me with some blankets.” A voice came from behind, causing the large hand that was putting down the coat to cover the sleeping person. Thapakorn turned to look at the sound and saw that Chanonn, who had fallen asleep earlier, woke up and smiled brightly at him.

    “She is a woman…” He answered simply, the young doctor lightly laughed. His eyes twinkled and teased his tall friend.

    “Be careful, if he wakes up to hear it. You’ll be decapitated.” said Chanonn, before getting up, twisting lazily a few times and walking towards Thapakorn, who had collapsed and sat in the same place to continue reading the document. Despite being able to move to another sofa, now that the instructor is already asleep.

   “Hey, you haven’t told me how it went after you visited 3 temples to find holy water?” The person asked, looking up before sighing to see a cross sign, only that Chanonn laughed one more time.

    “This sigh of yours, did you endure it or did he endure it?”

    “Where did he endure it?” Thapakorn asked back.

    “C’mon, it’s for Lin…” Chanonn hinted, not daring to add Sawin’s name because they didn’t know that while they went looking for holy water together How much power Sawin is going to do, seeing Thapakorn quietly seems like he doesn’t. Not fighting anyone but really taking it in, its patience is not that great.

   He didn’t say anything, only glanced at the person who was still half-seat, half asleep on the sofa beside him. The look that Thapakorn looked at the woman’s body, made Chanonn who was looking at him freeze for a moment.

   It’s true that the figure lying here is Lalin and Lalin and Thapakorn are getting engaged but the person in Lalin’s body is Sawin. The eyes that Thapakorn looked at. Is he for the owner of the body or the owner of the soul?

   “If I assume... Win is in Lin’s body and Lin is in Win’s body... Forever, what are you going to do?” The young doctor questioned as the person was suddenly stumped. Thapakorn glanced back, there was a silence for about a minute before the tall man lowered his gaze, looked at the document in his hand and replied in a calm tone.

   “Before I can do anything. He would kill me first and blame the seven temples of holy water for not working.”

   “Even if he kills the whole world, you will be the only person he can’t kill. Believe me, he hates you this much. Because he doesn’t want you to come into his life again, try to be someone else and treat him like this, he will chase him down to the ground.” Thapakorn was silent, he didn’t know which was better. together. While getting Sawin to get his revenge on him, or have him hate him like this?

   “Tha, I want to ask directly. If… in the end Win must use Lin’s body forever. What are you going to do?

   “I will find my way here, Win in Lin’s body can’t do much and the more Lin is in Win’s body the bigger and better. ranch work is hard work, how can two siblings who swap bodies take care of the ranch?”

    “Does that mean if it really is, then you will marry Lin’s body with Win in it?” asked Chanonn again, his eyes fixed on his best friend waiting for an answer. Thapakorn looked up, his eyes met and replied emotionlessly but his voice was firm, as if he hadn’t changed his mind a second time.

    “Yes, if in the end it is. I will marry... Win...”

   …

   ... Who will marry you?! You think I’m in Lin’s body and I’m weak and can’t take care of the ranch work! If I am then I will marry you for the rest of my life! I’ll show you that even though I’m in Lin’s body, I’m the same Sawin!

    A thin woman walks through the hot sun in the late afternoon to visit every part of the ranch, including the vegetable and fruit ranch and the egg ranch. Today’s weather is sweltering but the owner of the fragile body seems to not care at all, it is Thapakorn who follows after worrying about the worker ignoring his physical condition.

   ... Sawin must have forgotten that he was now using Lalin’s body, a fragile young woman who used to live in an air-conditioned room, never suffered and never had to endure the heat of the sun. This was before...

   “Oh, put on your hat, the sun is hot.” ​​Thapakorn took off his cap and handed it to the young woman who stopped to watch the workers collecting produce, the big round eyes glanced at him caringly.

    “It’s not hot.” ​​The young man tried to stay calm, he was still holding out his hat but the other party pretended not to be interested and turned to speak to a thin, dark-skinned man, almost to the point of scorching.

   “Kajon don’t forget to look at the water dike.” Kajon is the ranch manager, he is a close friend of Manat who runs the office and because he has been working here since Amon the father of 2 was alive. Kajon knows Amon’s son and daughter as well as the Warodom ranch. So, today ‘Lalin’ came down to look after the ranch by herself this morning. Kajon was surprised and even more surprised when the words of a young and sweet woman like Sawin’s brother were not wrong, she also knew something that was not known.

   “Khun Lin, did you know about the dike?” Kajon asked puzzledly. The woman was silent for a bit before pretending to be stern.

   “Phii Win used to tell me about it, I have sent people to look at it, I just finished fixing it and I don’t know how much water can be blocked.”

    “Did you know about fixing the dike too?” Kajon asked, another suspicious look on his face. until Thapakorn, who was standing not far away, had to move in and invite him to change the subject.

   “I think we shouldn’t talk in the sun like this, Khun Lin’s face is so red. Probably allergic to the hot weather.” He said, nodding at her reddish sweet face and sweat dripping down her hair, if the real Lalin had seen herself at this time. Thapakorn definitely believes that a neat woman would scream at her brother for putting her body up like this.

    “I said it wasn’t hot!” The woman argued abruptly, Thapakorn turned to look at him with solemn eyes.

    “Lin, it's hot.” he repeated the name ‘Lin’ in a dark scratchy tone. The person in the body of ‘Lin’ gritted his teeth, his heart not wanting to admit it. I also wanted to give the other party a message that when he was still ‘Sawin’, he walked around the ranch twice a day, without fear in the scorching heat of summer.

   “Uh... I think... Khun Lin’s face is really red as Khun Tha said. If so, should Khun Lin go back and wait at the office, I’ll have Natt send a car to pick you up?” Kajon was like a ‘Sawin’ scissors at that moment, at first, he was going to walk in the sun but when Kajon suggested not to get into his ears, the big eyes flickered to look at the ranch manager.

   “No! If you go back to the office, you go back!” And then the skinny figure turned and walked away to look at the ranch, Thapakorn looked after him and sighed before turning to Kajon, who had been stunned since he had known the 2 siblings, Sawin and Lalin. He had never seen a dog-like version of Lalin before.

   “At eleven o’clock, you send the driver to pick me up. I’ll take Lin home for dinner first.”

   “Yes, Khun Tha... Uh... Khun Lin... Is she mad at me?” Kajon had never seen Lalin like this, although he was familiar with Sawin’s mad dog temperament but when he met Lalin who he had seen as a small Sawin, the ranch manager became uneasy.”

    “No, it’s just an annoyance. You keep on working. I’ll see her for myself.” Thapakorn couldn’t say a word and shouts from the workers rang out.

   “help! Khun Lin fainted! help!”

    and then a second later Kajon hurriedly called a car to pick up Lalin urgently, this time there was no sign of the girl’s swing at all, because she was already unconscious.

   …

    The sound of chattering sounded in his ears, making him feel deaf and wanting to turn away but because his body was all heavy. The only thing he could do was lift his eyelids slightly to look for the source of the sound.

    “How are you Lalin?” Before his eyelids were fully opened, a teasing question rang out from the person sitting closest to him. His brows furrowed in frustration before trying to open his eyelids again, this time it was successful, because the white ceiling floating prominently in front of him was visible.

    “Oh! Are you going to get up?” Chanonn, who was sitting closest helped to support the person who was pretending to sit up, was afraid that the newly awakened person would become even more irritated. So, he had to go in and help but didn’t hesitate to ask questions.

    “What happened?” asked the girl, closing her eyes again because her head was dizzy.

    “What happened? Well, you fainted.” Thapakorn, who was standing on the other side, was the one who answered the question instead and that made the people dizzy to look up obviously.

   “What?! fainted?! I fainted!” Because he had almost never been sick in his life. Fainting is an impossible thing to happen in the life of ‘Sawin’. So, it’s normal to be shocked.

   “Quietly, you think when you talk to me like this. What do other people in the house hear? You are Lin now.” Chanonn twitched his friend’s arm and looked around, fortunately Auntie Saman was busy in the kitchen ordering her servants to cook soft food for the faint of heart. Inthra visited Sawin at the hospital with Phonuma. The two of them were returning when Kajon called to say ‘Lalin’ fainted in the middle of the field.

   “Did I really faint?!” The girl turned and asked again to her best friend who is a doctor, although this time the voice was a bit softer but still couldn’t speak politely like Lalin.

    “That’s right! I stopped by when I saw the workers chatting about Khun Lalin that Khun Lalin fainted in the middle of the ranch. So, let’s borrow it and talk to Tha to give him first aid first and bring him back here. You should know Win, that Lin’s body is not as strong as yours. How can you use rigors like you use your body?” Chanonn insulted, he would sometimes insult Sawin for being like this but if not insulting. He also thought that Sawin wouldn’t listen to anyone and would probably use Lalin’s body as it used to but Lalin’s body would never get used to. Men and women are not the same, especially physically.

    When being insulted by a friend like Chanonn It seemed that the young woman had weakened. Thapakorn saw it and thought of it. when he told me to wear a hat told to hide in the shade I don’t see how it sounds like this.

   “After only working in the office, if you go out to check the ranch you must come back in before 8AM or go out after four o’clock when the sun is not strong and you must not go out alone.” he ordered and that’s all. The person who was weak to Chanonn immediately looked up at Thapakorn with displeasure. But before the girl could say anything, the tall figure leaned in closer.

    “Now the boss of the ranch is named Thapakorn, do you understand Lalin?” He emphasized that this time ‘Sawin’ has no power in the ranch anymore and ‘Sawin’ in Lalin’s body must listen to his orders.

   “Nonn, you are watching him. Today, don’t let him go anywhere else.” said Thapakorn before turning around and walking out of the living room. Chanonn got up and followed quickly.

   “Where are you going?”

   “I’m going to Bangkok, I have to go back and deal with it. I’ll be back in the evening, watch him too, don’t let him cause trouble. I’m going to hurry back.” Chanonn could only nod his head, staring at him until his best friend walked out of the house, then went back into the living room again and when he appeared. The girl who was half-sitting on the sofa immediately sued.

    “You look at him! Who does he think he is? Order you to come and see me!” The young doctor who had been in the middle sighed softly as he walked over and sat nearby.

   “I think I understand his idea. He didn’t think he was bigger than you but he was just worried about you.” Chanonn’s frank words made the person sound stunned, the big eyes that had suddenly gleamed sternly, paused for a moment. that the young woman will turn her head away in the other direction.

    “Don’t talk like you know well. He and I hate each other, and haven't looked at each other for 7 years. How could he be worried about me?

   “The one who hates is you, the one who didn’t look at his face for 7 years is you Win.” said Chanonn, he watched the girl’s expression seem shocked by this fact but ‘Sawin’ was still. It’s ‘Sawin’ who doesn’t accept the truth.

   “Then he must be worried about Lin’s body that I am using.”

   “Say it with envy or do you want Tha to worry about your body? Ouch!” As a result of speaking inappropriately, he was slapped by a cushion once in his mouth. Plus, with insulting words that don’t fit the beautiful and sweet face of a young woman.

    “Say it.” Chanonn laughed softly and pretended to raise his eyebrows, eyes widening, not afraid of the cushioning power of the curse a moment ago.

   “I just ask, if one day Tha cares about your whole body Worried about your whole soul, will you accept that day?” The big eyes stared at him earnestly.

   “You bast-...” The mouth was not finished cursing, the young doctor’s large hand quickly grabbed the bright-colored lips. Just as Auntie Saman appeared in the room and saw the woman sit up and immediately jumped in and asked with concern.

   “Khun Lin, are you awake? How are you? Oh, I’m really worried.” The newly awakened person had to turn around to smile instead of saying that it was okay but the worried person kept turning Lalin’s face left and right to find out what could be. Worried again? That cuts off the chance that people with itchy mouths want to insult Chanonn but keep cursing in order to wait for the account. As for those who were not insulted, they kept smiling. Whistling in a good mood after leaving the last question to ‘Sawin’, I put it to bed and thought for fun.

   ‘... If one day Tha cares about your whole body, cares about your soul, will you accept that day?’

   …regardless of this life, the next life. I will never admit it!

   …

   Thapakorn returned to Bangkok to resolve the outstanding work and agreed with the supervisor that he would find time to check the paperwork again before this month’s general meeting. Then he left Bangkok that evening to return to Chonburi. Although the distance is not very far but because he got up early to work in the field Nham also hit the bus back and forth between Bangkok and Chonburi on the same day. I was exhausted but when I parked in front of the house and saw Auntie Saman who snitched, ‘Khun Lalin’ had been dabbling in the office since she woke up, it made the young man want to hit that stubborn man.

   ... Keep telling Nonn to keep an eye on him and not let him go out! What is this?! If you can’t go out to the ranch, then go to the office?! Has he ever heard of the word rest?!

    The tall man got back in the car and drove out to the office at the front of the Warodom ranch. He’d probably first noticed that as he drove past a three-story building, the ground floor opened as a fusion restaurant using ingredients sourced from Warodom farms, which still had sparse customers but the second and third floors were offices that were off work at 5 p.m. It’s cold and there shouldn’t be any light coming out of the window like that.

   He parked the car in front of the restaurant, opened the door and hurriedly went straight into the restaurant through the back and went up the stairs to the 2nd floor. The staff here knew him all and knew that he had come to work instead. Sawin is still recovering in the hospital. So, everyone let him go up to the second floor without protesting.

   When he reached the second floor, he found that besides Lalin being here, the office manager like Manat was still working day and night as well.

   “Oh! Khun Tha.” Manat looked up and saw Thapakorn who had a sullen expression first and that caused the thin woman to turn to look at him.

   “I told you to stay at home, don’t go out. Why did you come here?” When the two pairs of eyes met, Thapakorn immediately asked a question in a dark tone. Manat swallowed his saliva, feeling the atmosphere was going to blow up, he felt as shrunken as a stick of ice cream.

   “A pile of work waiting, how can I stay at home with your paws wiggling?!” The word ‘wiggle paws’, made Manat who was trying to shrink to the point where he could barely look at the talker, because in his whole life that he had known ‘Lalin’ ‘Wiggle’ is probably the most disrespectful word for this girl had ever said, then why suddenly? Lalin, who is such a polite, neat, sweet person that the word ‘paw’ comes out of her mouth?!

    “Where did Nonn go?”

   “Do not know! I’m not his husband!” In fact, he knew, Chanonn had a case that suddenly came in and had to hurry up but just messed around and said he didn’t know.

   And this young woman’s tumultuous words this time, made Manat freeze even more than he saw the word ‘wiggle’. in a serious way.

    “What are you looking at?!”

   “N... No... Nothing.” Manat wanted to tell his heart that he looked at Khun Lalin who didn’t deserve Khun Lalin but was afraid that this version of Khun Lalin might transform and eat him first.

   “You can go back and from now on, if anyone other than me or ‘Win’ orders, you must not work more than 5 o’clock!” Thapakorn saw Manat’s shocked expression and hurriedly drove the other person back home. Manat glanced at the girl at one point but the other party kept biting his lip, a tall figure with a look of resentment. So, he decided to ask for a donkey and grabbed his belongings and flew off the second floor but before he was out of sight. Manat turned around and saw that Thapakorn had pulled Lalin’s missing arm into Sawin’s office.

   ... Weird... Really weird... Strange both of Lalin’s appearance that doesn’t match the girl he saw when he was little and the way Thapakorn treated Lalin. Even though he hasn’t been here in the past 7 years, Manat still remembers that Thapakorn was a gentleman and gentle to Sawin’s sister like a little princess…

   ...already... People who have always treated each other well, why today it seems like they’ve been arguing for years…

   ... Yes, he is not like Thapakorn and Lalin but more like Thapakorn and Sawin…

   Manat was shocked for a moment and shook his head as if it was impossible. Lalin is Lalin and Sawin is still lying in the hospital. He must have worked too much to think that the picture just now resembles Thapakorn and Sawin. Even though Lalin is with them now.

   …

   “Ouch! Let me go!” Thapakorn followed the person’s whining as soon as he opened the door before he turned his gaze to the girl who was staring at him angrily.

    “Did you know who you are now? You’re working in the dark at night with two men.”

    “That’s Manat!”

   “Isn’t Manat a man?! How can you talk like Lin again? You want the whole field to know that you’re not Lin?! And if the whole ranch knows, your mother must know. Would you like to see your mother worry more, Win!” The young man insulted in both his voice and harsh eyes and this time it seemed that the insulted realized at that moment that he shouldn’t behave like ‘Sawin’. Even though he was still in the body of ‘Lalin’.

   The woman closed her eyes and breathed heavily in her chest, forcing herself to act like everyone else was not something Sawin was good at. Thapakorn saw that the other party was not as stubborn and arguing as usual, enough to ease some. He also let out a strong breath before speaking in a voice that was much calmer than before.

   “How are you? Are you still dizzy?” The big round eyes glanced at him unexpectedly, the question of Chanonn that had left him irritated as the day dawned again in his brain.

   ‘... If one day Tha cares about your whole body, cares about your soul, will you accept that day?’

    “If... if you mean Lin’s body, then... that’s fine.” Sawin replied as if profoundly. Thapakorn looked at the speaker, moved his mouth to ask more questions but decided to give a soft answer, causing the people waiting for other questions to feel annoyed when the tall figure in front of him got an answer on the matter. ‘Lin’s body’ and did not ask questions about ‘Other matter.’

   ... The only thing he was worried about was Lin’s body, nothing else…

    The woman pursed her lips tightly before turning to walk out of the office but a deep voice sounded behind her.

    “Win…” The owner named ‘Sawin’ turned to look and raised his eyebrows instead of questioning, the two pairs of eyes met. This time he didn’t have the anger or resentment as before, the man’s eyes. Young as if insecure. As the girl’s eyes waited... Something...

    “Shall we go for a ride?” The big round eyes flashed in confusion and did not understand. It’s the kind of eyes that Thapakorn thinks of loving the owner of his eyes like ‘Sawin’.

    “Let’s go for a ride.” This sentence of the young man was not a question. He sounded like an invitation as it made people feel dizzy and maybe because of something. Finally an employee in the restaurant downstairs of the office saw ‘Lalin’ following behind Thapakorn to the car before the two of them will go out together, without anyone knowing where their aim of destination is.

   …

    There was not a single word said in the car, Sawin began to feel that he was too gullible to come ‘for a ride’ with Thapakorn. Two people like this, big eyes glanced at the driver who seemed to be in a good mood disbelievingly before glancing at the two sides of the road that was quite busy, because it was the line that went straight into Pattaya.

   “What’s wrong? Sit quietly, do you think you’re going to be sold?” The driver glanced at him and asked teasingly, with a slight smile on his lips.

    “Thinking about being taken to kill?” The person beside him immediately turned around and replied, Thapakorn laughed in a good mood. Sawin is still Sawin all day. Even if he agrees to come with him, it’s not that he’s calm in a folded cloth.

    “While taking him to kill and taking him to wrestling, the latter is much more interesting.” And only then the person who was listening turned his surprised look.

   “Are you going to take me to wrestling?!”

    “Oh, that’s right, we can do it outdoors too, okay?” He didn’t deny it, he even turned his car into a park on the edge of the footpath. Next to the footpath was a sandy beach and a dark sea, where the lights of ink boats were scattered in the distance. The beach is not crowded at this time. Even if it is Pattaya which is a night city.

   Thapakorn turned to look at the person beside him who seemed to be shocked, angry until he stiffened. He laughed softly and shook his head hard.

    “Your face looks like you’ve seen a ghost.” People who are afraid of ghosts go up in their heads and make their eyes go wild.

    “Who talks about ghosts in the middle of the night!”

   “Oh yeah. I’m sorry, I was just kidding.” Thapakorn raised his hands over his shoulder as a sign that he gave up, because he argued about ghosts with people who are afraid of ghosts like Sawin, the next life will never end.

    “What are you joking about?!” A large hand suddenly covered his mouth.

   “Tell me to talk like Lin. Has Lin ever said the word kidding?” A small hand pulled down the hand that covered her mouth, the big round eyes still stared angrily.

   “I know!”

   “Me too, representing myself Lin.” The young man ordered and of course the stubborn would glare at him and would not obey.

   “I am with you, just the two of us, why do I have to make myself look like Lin!” Thapakorn was silent, he looked at the speaker with gentle eyes. The hand that was still resting on the girl’s head was not crushed as hard as before. He just gently caressed it as if giving encouragement.

   ... A man who is suddenly destined to play a joke to use his sister’s body, must learn things that he never thought he had to know, must do things that he never thought he had to do, must hide the truth, must bear all the burdens to carry... If only for a moment the man could be himself. Thapakorn was ready to spend a moment with that version of him. In order for Sawin to become Sawin as he used to...

   “I have never seen you as Lin. What I saw... It’s you always...”

    The eyes of both of them met in the silence of the car before Sawin, who averted his gaze, turned to the other side and turned to open the car door and waited outside in no time, the round eyes glanced over back in Saw Thapakorn disembarking from the driver’s side but even so, his heart still moved with a strange rhythm.

   ... The atmosphere just now... The atmosphere between him and Thapakorn just now...

   ... Why does his heart tremble so much…
