Friends, have you ever secretly liked someone? And that person happens to be a "model" too... Wait!! It's not like that. I didn't like him because I saw it on television. Or because his handsomeness touched my heart or something like that? (Oh... handsomeness also plays a part. He actually looks that good.)
And there's more to it than that... I'll tell you about it in a moment.
Hello all readers. "That (type) of you... that I secretly love" is a teenage love story.

Hello friends, my name is Cattleya. This name is the name of a type of orchid which is very beautiful. Many people probably like and know this type of flower well. My mother gave me this name because she liked this flower very much. Unfortunately, I am no longer with you now. My father and mother died in a car accident when I was about 14 years old.
You have left me a lump sum of life insurance benefits. So now I am in the foster care of my aunt without much difficulty in paying the bills. But during the school break Or when I have free time after school, I will find a part-time job. Because my aunt always taught me that...
"The money my parents left for me If you use it alone, it will go away. We also have to know how to find more ourselves.”
Then the day came that I had to move into a dormitory next to a university on the outskirts of the city because if I had to travel back and forth from my aunt's house to study every day, it would be difficult because it was so far away. And the cost of traveling is also high. So I talked to my aunt about staying in a nearby dormitory.
University would be more convenient. Paying a dormitory fee is not much different from paying a whole month's fare. But I had time to rest. Do activities other than 'sitting on the bus'
When carrying things into the room I noticed that there was a three-colored mother cat who was pregnant. It was sitting next to the dormitory's garbage dump. After finishing putting things into the room, I walked around the area again. Hoping to see the pregnant cat from just now again, walking around.
After a while in the dormitory, I saw him lying with his big belly on the stone horse table next to the dormitory.
So I walked in and petted it first by 'washing its hair'. I reached out and gently stroked its head first, then started scratching its head with my nails. The tri-colored cat was starting to doze off. It stretched its neck up to accept me as I scratched its head. I noticed its belly was very large. Looks like she's very pregnant and close to giving birth.
Just in time, a cart selling fried meatballs passed by. I thought I'd give my pregnant cat something to eat. So he called out to the seller to stop and walked into that cart shop.
As I was waiting for the vendor to fry the 4 - 5 meatball sticks I had chosen for myself and the cat. Another customer walked in and bought meatballs as well. He is a very good-looking young man. A long, slender face with a slightly pointed mustache on the chin and above the lips. A high nose, thick eyebrows, and sharp, dark eyes.
The skin is quite white, similar to that of a half-foreigner. His hair is a little golden brown and cut into a banyan root style. It's quite long... What kind of handsome man can melt hearts like this?
While I was secretly looking at a handsome young man and try to keep the madness of men hidden as much as possible An older pregnant cat walked up and rubbed my leg while meowing and pleading. She must have smelled the fragrant fried meatballs and came to ask for some.
"You'll get to eat soon, kitty. Take it easy." I bent down and poked his head playfully with my finger 3-4 times before turning to receive a bag of fragrant fried meatballs from the vendor. When I finished paying, I walked over and sat at the same stone horse table. There was a pregnant mother cat walking along with her looking like she really wanted to eat meatballs.
I was still secretly looking at the handsome man from just now with interest. (He's a handsome man, right? Everyone wants to look at him, right?) I saw him bending over the iron corner of a shopping cart's umbrella handle. At a rough estimate, he was probably 190 cm or so tall. He carried a large backpack. and carried another large canvas bag
I suspect they're moving into this dorm as well.
While I was secretly looking at him, he suddenly turned to look at me, so we accidentally made eye contact. I hurriedly averted my eyes and turned to look at the tricolored face next to me. Now he was rubbing his head and body against my legs, almost falling on my feet. To beg to eat the meatballs I'm holding...'
Will he see that I'm secretly looking at him?'
After taking my eyes off the man I turned my attention back to the cat next to me. He was probably complaining again and again about when he would let him eat. I took out one meatball stick from the bag. When I touched it, I felt it was still hot, so I tore it into small pieces, blew on it to cool it down a bit, and then gave it to the pregnant cat.
It quickly grabbed the meatball until its fangs grazed my finger. Even though my finger hurts, I'm not mad at it. Because I saw how he was in such a hurry to eat, I felt sorry for him. He must have been very hungry. I don't know how many meals the poor stray cat had gone without. Probably didn't get enough to eat. Probably doesn't have a good bed.
"Come on... even though I can't take you to sleep in the dorm together, But I promise I'll find something to eat every day, kitty."
School has been open for about a month now. It's almost the time that every student dreads, that is 'midterm exam period'. Therefore, during this time, you will see many students occupying tables in the cafeteria to gather together and study. This made the cafeteria especially bustling with people coming to use the service.
“Are you going to give food scraps to the cat again today, Cat? Take this chicken skin. I won't eat it... or you'll get fat." Oh, a classmate said. along with scooping up scraps of her food and handing them to you
"Here, thank you." I hurriedly took out the plastic bag that I had prepared to put in my bag to put food scraps out. Unroll the bag and let a friend scoop out the food scraps into it.
"And how are the kittens? How many are there?" Chompoo, another friend, asked about the little ones who opened their eyes three weeks ago.
"Now there are only 4 left. Yesterday when I went back I saw only these so I went to ask the housekeeper at the dormitory. His aunt said that during the day, one of the kittens was hit by a car and died." I said as tears began to flow because I felt sorry for the kittens. The life of a stray cat on the street often ends badly like this: being hit by a car, being chased and bitten by a dog, or even beaten by people who don't like it. Got teased by mischievous kids...
Some were lucky enough to survive and grow up. Some are unlucky enough to grow up with disabilities. Or, if worse, have to leave before they can grow up.
"Poor thing, I saw this in
They also have an announcement looking for a home for a cat. You should try it, Kat."
"I'm thinking the same thing, Chompoo. I think I'll wait until the puppies are weaned first and then try taking pictures and posting them to find houses in the area.
of the volunteer group that helps stray dogs and cats. The kittens are cute, so someone might be interested in adopting them... As for the mother cat, I think I'm going to get her neutered. But I might have to wait to take part-time work during the school break to pay for the doctor first,” I said as I scooped up the scraps of rice and food scraps left on my plate and put them in a plastic bag for the cat.
“Why do you have to take him to get sterilized? It's like Cat is going to take it and raise it."
"Even though we didn't raise it, But if we sterilize her then she won't have to get pregnant again. In this way, we have partly reduced the problem of stray kittens from this cat. Even though it's a small part, if you start doing it continuously, it will solve the problem in the long run." I said according to the story I had read from
of a group of volunteers helping stray dogs and cats by sterilizing them
“What a good idea. We'll help you. If Cat knows how much money it will cost for a sterilization, please tell us. We'll help you take out some of it." Or began to see good things as well.
"We too, we'll help pay for the cat's sterilization...we want to help too." Chompoo also joined the project.
“Thank you all very much... But now it's time to study. Let's hurry up and go to class. Today I am studying marketing in a room with the Communication Faculty, etc. If I go up late, all the seats in the back will be occupied or I will have to go up and study in front of the teacher... I will definitely die from stress." I threatened my friend with something that most students were very afraid of. That is the study chair in the front of the room.
"Yes ... Today I'm in the same class as Phachara. I have to go add some powder too." My female friend was talking about her university month studying at the Faculty of Communication Arts ... It was the handsome man I secretly had. Looking at the day I moved into the dorm, it was that person!!
After class ended in the afternoon, I immediately returned to the dormitory. Because I'm worried that the food scraps I picked up during the day will spoil before I give them back to the cat to eat. As I walked near the dormitory's garbage disposal area, The five cats immediately greeted me.
"What's up, cats? Are you hungry?" I kept chatting with the cats. He then took out a plastic bag and put the food scraps in the bag. Pressed and crushed and mixed the food scraps in the bag until evenly mixed. Before opening the bag and putting it down for the mother cat to eat. The four remaining kittens are still eating their mother's milk as their main food.
But when he saw his mother eating the scraps of food I brought him, his cubs began to be interested in sniffing and licking and eating a little bit.
“Does this little one know how to eat? After a while, I'll have to bring back more rice. If you guys want to eat too." I said to the cat again. When they all paid attention to the bag of food scraps I took out the plastic bowl that I had prepared to put their water in and changed the water. I also carried a clean water bottle in my bag.
"You, you ... what are you doing?"
I heard a voice as if someone was talking. But when I turned around, I didn't see anyone there. I looked left and right again and it was blank.
"You, you ... up here."
The voice called out again, causing me to look up as I was told. Saw Mr. Phachara sticking his face out from the balcony of the room on the 2nd floor... but the location of the room was a corner room. It's the room next to my room.
'Eh... Is this guy next to my room?!'
"Give the cat food," I replied simply, but was still confused by his roommate's position. After thinking about it, he had been living here for a month. But I still haven't seen the faces of the people staying in this room. Most people will see the lights turned off and quiet as if no one is there all the time. I also think it's because the rent is expensive that there aren't any tenants.
The owner of the building said it was a corner room that was wider. There is also a balcony and side window, so the rent is more expensive than other rooms.
“Did you keep a cat?” the young man still asked curiously.
"No... it's not my cat. It's a stray cat around here."
"Very kind."
"Well ... just ... saw that she was pregnant ... well ... that's why I felt sorry for that." I suddenly stuttered because of nervousness. Handsome people compliment each other, and with a face like this, you'd be embarrassed to death.
“Let us help take care of you. We want to help him.”
“You want to give me food, I'll give it to you. I probably don't mind.”
“But we don't come back quickly... It's better like this. I'll help you buy some cat food for her. Let her give it to them to eat as well. I'll buy it and then I'll take it to her room myself. What room is she in?"
"2 ... 0 ... 2 ..." I said the room number in a low voice. Because I felt embarrassed to tell him that I was in the room next to his.
"What? ... I couldn't hear you. What? ... You're on the second floor too, right?"
"I'm in room 202."
"Oh... we're in the next room, but I won't tell you. So you wait there for a moment. We'll go down and find it."
"Wait, why are you coming down? ... Wait ..." Before I could finish speaking, the man had already disappeared from the balcony into the room. I just stood there confused as to why he would come down. I was confused for a short time. Mr. Phachara rode a large motorcycle, black with red stripes, into the garbage disposal area of the dormitory.
"Let's go buy cat food."
"Ha ... want ... me to ride in the car with you?"
“Yes, how do you get to choose what type and brand you want? I've never raised a cat. I don't know how to choose... Come on, come on."
At first, I didn't dare to ride in his car. But when I saw the determination in his eyes, I stopped being afraid. In addition, people with positions of 'University Month' probably wouldn't be so hopeless that you'd think of doing anything to an ordinary, ugly-looking girl like me.
Mr. Phachara rode his motorcycle out of the dormitory and found a shop not far away.
Pets shop
Located in the middle of the alley before reaching the main road. So we stopped there to buy cat food.
"What is your name? My name is Phacharana...you can call me Ra." He turned and asked my name. Then introduce yourself to me.
"I ... Kat" has become a stutterer. In front of this guy
“Katney must be a person of few words. You don't seem to talk to us at all...or are you disgusted?" After saying that, he laughed loudly.
“Are you crazy? I just don't know what to talk to you about. We didn't know each other at all."
“She's really strange. Normally, we only see female friends who are all good at talking. I've only just met Kat, which is an understatement."
Are there any handsome people that girls don't want to talk to? But because I was shy, I didn't know what else to ask him to talk about... I walked over and picked up a box of wet cat food. The front of the box states that it contains 12 packets.
“Can you… buy this? We will use it to mix rice for the cats to eat.” I asked the person who paid the opinion. Even if he tells me to choose.
“Cat choose it because we don't know anything. If you do that, you can just grab 3 boxes...is that enough?" he said, his heart pounding. Very badass.
"Three boxes will last me a month."
“Okay... from now on we will buy 3 boxes of cat food like this and leave it for you every month. If it's not enough, you can always tell us. Please give it to the cats to eat... Our Lady of Meow.” His friendly teasing ended. It created so many good feelings for me.
Because we are people who love cats too. That was the starting point for us to get to know each other.
The next week was the day that I had to sit and study marketing with the Communication Faculty again. My friends and I hurried to the classroom almost 15 minutes early to reserve a chair in the middle of the classroom... of course. After my beautiful friend Or went to the bathroom and added powder and added lipstick until she was as beautiful as she wanted. Because today we are in the same class as Mr. Phachara.
I secretly thought in my heart that Mr. Phachara would remember me or not. If he doesn't remember, it wouldn't be strange because I don't have anything outstanding or memorable... But what if I remember? Thinking of this, my heart beats loudly. What is this feeling?
"Kat, Chompoo... let's go sit in the row of chairs by the window." Friend Or, who walked into the classroom before anyone else in the group, called out my name so loudly that many people sitting near the entrance to the room could hear it. Then I turned and looked.
"Oh ... Katnina, we're in this class together?" Who could it be? It was the voice of the person I was waiting to see whether he would greet me or not, Mr. Phachara.
“Do you know him too?” Chompoo, who was walking with me, tilted her head to ask in a whisper, as if afraid that someone would hear. While all I could do was turn around and smile. and nodded to the handsome man in greeting without saying anything to him.
"Uh...we live in the same dormitory," I whispered to Chompoo as I walked up to the row of chairs by the window that Or had occupied.
"Does Kat know Duan Maha'lai too? And how did you get to know each other?" When I lowered my butt down to sit in the chair Oh immediately hurriedly asked a question.
“He helped buy food for the cats at the dorm. He's staying there." I answered the question briefly but got the point because I didn't want to tell a long story.
"So what floor and room does he live on?" Or expressed curiosity. It made me feel insecure about telling my friends. 'He's in the room next to mine.'
“Oh... You're asking like you're going to break into his room. You're asking this much." I silently complained to my friend to avoid answering the question. Luckily for me today, the instructor arrived in the room a little early, causing my friends to turn their attention to the teacher rather than the matter I had left behind.
During class that day, I could hardly concentrate. My mind would keep thinking about the person sitting near the exit door at the back of the classroom. Plus, when I smoothly turned to look, I saw him looking at me again. My heart was pounding like it was about to burst out of my chest.
And during the break of that class Mr. Phachara walked slowly towards me and reached the table. To say something that the whole class of girls would be envious of.
“Kat ... last time we forgot to ask.
add Facebook
It's yours," he said in a very loud voice. my two girl friends Including classmates in the front row, back row, left and right, the girls sitting in that area suddenly turned to look at me at the same time.
'Sh... gone...' I thought to myself.
"Nah... don't have to.
add
Maybe ... If you want to bring cat food, you can hang it in front of the room.”
"must
add
Yes, even if they're next to each other's rooms. But we often come back late and we rarely go back to the dorm... If you want to track us down, we can contact you."
'Shit ... disappear ... again ... there's still room left for you to stand, my dear ... I don't have to tell you everything,' I could only think in my heart again. If I knew in advance that this would be the case, I would quickly write down the username.
I'll give it to you in the first place.
"receive
add friend
Me too, Kat. Just press.
add
Let's go now." Before leaving, he also smiled sweetly at my friends. Do you know how much trouble you're giving me?
"Is this next door too? Why didn't Cat tell you?" That's what happened.
“Actually, I only found out that he was in the next room just a week ago... Before that, I thought the next room was an empty room. Because I rarely see the lights on. And I've never seen anyone go in or out."
"And he helps Cat take care of the cats too?" Chompoo asked.
“Yes… Just last week when I was bringing food to the cats, he saw me. So he said he wanted to help buy food for the cats."
"Oh... you're handsome and kind, right?" Or began to moan, making dreamy eyes about Mr. Phachara. Before the young friend could dream too far, it was time to stop. The teacher walked into the classroom again. and began teaching until the class was finished that day.
I probably didn't imagine that the girls in the room would look at me with strange, suspicious eyes. Looking at you with unfriendly eyes It was probably because of Mr. Phachon that he shouted at me before telling me to accept.
add
Friend request in
too ...
Is this the case where you don't even realize how outstanding you are? What about having a prominent person like you act like you care about a simple person like me in front of the public? And causing other people to misunderstand. It has made me a complete enemy. Can you give me a little trouble?
Finally, the golden moment for all students has arrived. It's during school break!!
While most of my friends spent the school holidays relaxing, many of those who were out of town returned home. Some made arrangements to travel to other provinces for fun. But I chose to work part-time during this time. I applied to be an employee
Part time
At the ice cream shop in the department store near the university.
I intend to use my salary to pay for the sterilization of the three-colored mother cat that I feed every day. And there might be some money left. Keep it as capital to go out and play with friends or buy things you want...we'll look at it again because there are already so many ways to spend money.
One more week and the semester will begin. I really miss the other 2 female friends in my gang. We haven't seen each other in months... While I was thinking about something else, the boss called me to help collect cups and wipe down tables for customers who were about to come to use the shop. So I had to stop my idle thoughts and walk quickly to go do the job I was told.
"Oh ... Kat," a customer who just walked into the store called out to greet me familiarly.
"Mr. Ra... you go back to your house. Are you back in the dorm now?"
"A friend of yours?" asked a beautiful woman who walked in with Mr. Phachara. But the look that was looking at me was the most disgusting. Both despised and undisguised disrespect You might be surprised how he got to know a Tok Toi employee like me.
"Yes, my friend from Maha'lai."
"Oh..." she trailed off. But he still looked at me with disdain. I feel familiar with this woman's face from somewhere... Oh, this woman is a mixed-race model named Cherry, a new model who is hot right now.
"Please look at the menu first. I'll come take your order in a moment." Although I was dissatisfied with the woman's contemptuous look, I still had to 'work' on my duties without missing anything. Because I don't want my supervisor to criticize me.
I'm never shy about making friends. Or people you know know that you come to do extra work during the school break. Because I work honestly And the fact that I can work and earn my own money is something that I am proud of.
I went to prepare drinking water to serve to Mr. Phachara. And a beautiful young model... Actually, it's not strange that they came together. Because now Phachara has fully stepped into the entertainment industry. He started having models come and persuade him to take pictures for magazines since he entered the university month contest.
Until now, he has become a new model who is being talked about by young and old fans all over the country.
"How are the cats?" he asked me when he went to take my ice cream order.
"Where Cat takes pictures of kittens and puts them in an ad for houses in
Two people have already come to adopt them, but there is still a black one left. With the black and white striped one who still has to stay next to the dormitory. Because there's no one to adopt." I talked to my friend as usual. Ignoring the disdainful glances that the female model sent to attack from time to time.
"It's a pity. We'll help announce it in
Some of ours, in case anyone is interested... Is the cat food we bought before the school break finished yet?"
"There's still 1 full box left, just in time for the semester to start. You can buy more when school starts... I'm going to have to go to work first. The boss will tell me about it." When I finished taking orders, I quietly walked away and concentrated on working as usual. Without going to talk to Phachara who was sitting in the shop again until he returned.
After work, by the time I got back to the dorm, it was already 11:00 p.m. When I walked into the dormitory's garbage disposal area, All 3 cats shouted and greeted me as loudly as every time.
"Are you hungry? Are you hungry? ... Sorry I'm late. Because I'm working part-time these days, I came back late to give you guys food. You must be really hungry." I mumbled, apologizing to the cats for hiding. Take out the rice in the bag that you prepared for the cats. Manage to unpack the wet food bag and pour it into the rice bag. Then use your hands to mix together the cat food and rice in the bag until well combined. Before tearing the opening of the bag wide open, he placed it down for the cats to eat.
"Do you work late like this every day, Kat?" a voice greeted me from behind. Although the surrounding atmosphere is quite dim because it is on the side of the building where the lights cannot reach. But I knew who it was... I remembered the owner of this voice well.
"Oh, it's already 9:30 p.m. by the time we close the shop. Why do I have to help the guys at the shop clean up the equipment in the shop? By the time it's finished, I have to come back around this time... So, you're back in the dorm now? There will be many more days before school opens. Aren't you going anywhere, sir?"
“At first I thought it would come when the school term started. But then I came out to work and met Cherry. I saw that he didn't want to go home because he had a fight with his mother. So we brought you here to stay.” He spoke very calmly, as if it was normal, then walked over and squatted down next to me before reaching out to stroke the head of a kitten who was eating snacks.
"Are you guys lovers now?" I asked in a tone that was half teasing, half joking. But in my heart, I was so terrified of the answer I would receive... After speaking, I felt like I had made a mistake in asking like that.
"Probably like that," he replied in a tone that I couldn't quite pinpoint. Is it calm or something else?
“Oh...that person is a half-breed model who is becoming famous. Very beautifully Why are you acting so calm and impassive?” I was acting cheerful to cover up the real feelings that were cracking up little by little inside. It was as if something heavy had descended on the center of my heart. And that thing is putting on more and more weight.
Until I felt extremely uncomfortable. But I couldn't lift it up.
"really ... "
"I'd rather go back to the room to take a shower and sleep... Then why did you come down here?" And where has your boyfriend gone? Why did you say you were staying over?" I started to find a way to escape from the current situation. Because I'm about to be unable to control this heavy feeling that's weighing on my heart. It was too uncomfortable and was starting to show itself. And I don't want Mr. Phachara to notice those symptoms either.
"He's in the room. We heard a cat meowing so we went down to have a look. I think Cat must have come back to feed the cats for sure... Coming late like this is dangerous, so be careful."
"Uh...thank you." I couldn't say anything more than that. Because the heavy lump in his heart had grown greatly. Until now, it has been pushed up to the throat, making it impossible to speak.
In the past, I have always had good feelings towards Mr. Phachara. Because he's friendly, fun to talk to, and never holds himself too high as a handsome model. Since he told me he was going to help these cats. He has always been very attentive. Even though we haven't met in the classroom. Or when he didn't come back to the dorm for several days because of work. He will be the one to say hello.
Come and ask... Many times his concern extends to me as well, like today.
When we walked back up to the room As he opened the door to his room, I peeked inside. There was a light turned on and a television sound coming out that could be heard. 'His girlfriend is probably waiting in there.'
Before entering the room, he turned to look at me again before smiling as usual. And we nodded to each other in greeting like we always do... I quickly turned my head back into my room. Closed the door softly and sat there leaning against the door. There is no strength to move anywhere.
I don't know how this feeling of disappointment could come in. Since all this time my feelings were just secretly admiring him in my heart. Never said or expressed anything to him. Nothing has ever been said that feels more like the word 'friend'.
Clear water droplets began to flow from his eyes. Soft and quiet But it cuts deep into the heart, creating a very painful crack. Just get to know that 'He has a girlfriend.'
Like me, this is called being defeated before even starting to play on the field... Heh heh heh.
