' Love is like a poison that spreads It both takes over and slowly consumes us.'

The young man looked at the text on a book with an unknown author in bewilderment. He closed the book and walked out of the library, with questions still lingering in his mind.

To what extent can humans be possessed by love? He thought as he walked absentmindedly along the sidewalk.

until crashing into someone until the other party's books and documents spread everywhere

“Ah! I'm sorry.” He hurriedly turned around to help put things away. The hand that was meant to pick up the last piece of paper was stacked on his slender wrist. He hurriedly raised his head to look at the other person. In front of him was a petite Thai standard-sized woman in a school uniform. Her oval-shaped face matched her pair of beautiful eyes. Although it was not sweet or beautiful, the young man could not take his eyes off once he saw it.

“So...is there something stuck on my face?” the woman in front of her asked curiously. When he noticed that the man in front of him was silent for a while.

“Ah! I'm sorry.” When the young man regained his senses, he quickly let go and stood up, handing some of the documents he had collected to the other party.

"I'm sorry, I was just wandering around a bit."

“It's okay, but in the back you have to be careful. If you look blankly like this often, be careful, it might cause an accident,” she said with a slight smile.

“Then, as penance, I'll help you carry the documents,” he offered to the other party.

“Is it good?” she asked with concern.

"Good, then here you are..."

“Powder.”

"I'm Ruth, and Khun Pang, which building are you going to?"

“Building 2, Floor 5, but I'm sure it won't cause any trouble to Miss Ruth. ”Pang revealed a worried expression.

"No, I have to go to the same floor as Khun Pang anyway." Ruth's words surprised Pang quite a bit.

“Then it means that Mr. Ruth is in Mathayom 6. Same thing?” she asked as they walked up the building.

“Yes, if you ask like this, it means that Khun Pang is in Mathayom 6. It's the same.”

"yes! This room is, thank you very much,” she said as she took the stack of documents from Ruth and walked into the room immediately.

Ruth looked at her handing out messages to friends in the room with a strange feeling. He quickly shook his head to get rid of that feeling before walking.

Go to your own classroom which is next to Pang's classroom.

4 months have passed

“Ruth!” Pang walked towards the other party inside the classroom as soon as lunch time arrived.

"What's up, Pang?" Ruth replied politely to her boyfriend. After meeting that day, the two met and became closer until they finally decided to be lovers.

“Have you chosen the university you want to enter yet?” she asked the other person with doubt. Because right now it's close to university entrance exams, so she and the other party don't talk much. Most of the meetings are just for tutoring sessions.

“Already got it, university.

The administration team,” Ruth said, smiling slightly at the other party.

"Really! Pang will go to that university as well.” She said happily before her face darkened.

“What is it?”

"The faculty that Pang chose was humanities. If Pang remembers correctly, Pang's main classroom building is on the opposite side of Ruth's."

She let out a small sigh.

“Even though we live on different sides, we're at the same university,” Ruth said, raising her hand to gently caress Pang's cheek.

"Don't play like this, you're embarrassing him." Pang shook her head in embarrassment before pulling away from the other person's hand.

"Then I'd like to go back to school," she said, turning and walking away. Her smiling leaves slowly Her face changed to a face full of worry. Ruth looked thoughtfully at the other's back before turning back to her book.

"yes"

“Ruth...”

“Ruth!”

“Yes, sir, what do you say?” Ruth, in the persona of a university student, asked her girlfriend in shock.

"Is Ruth alright? Pang has seen Ruth absentminded for a long time." Pang asked with concern before gently placing the back of her hand on the other person's forehead.

"You're warm. See? Pang told me not to work too much," she said, crossing her arms over her chest and making a slight pout.

"Haha, if I'm sick, take care of me," Ruth pretended to tease the other party.

“It is certain that if Pang's girlfriend is sick. Powder needs to be taken care of as usual.”

The two of them stood still for a moment before a voice interrupted them.

“Phi Rutkha,” a young girl in a student uniform and a short miniskirt walked in and held a young man's arm affectionately.

"Kitty, don't do this," Ruth said and pulled out her own arm.

“My girlfriend is here,” he said with a look of displeasure in his eyes.

“Ah!? Excuse me, my name is Kitty and I'm Ruth's sibling,” Kitty said, holding out her hand.

“Yes, my name is Pang. I'm Ruth's girlfriend," Pang said before reaching out to shake the other person's hand. Seeing this, Kitty immediately increased her pressure.

Pain slowly spread along Sky's hand.

“So, what do we have to help you?”

“Oh, Brother Ruth always knew. I just don't understand the content of Professor Woranuch's lesson." Kitty quickly removed her hand from the powder and turned around to return to Ruth. Before opening the book and pointing out the content that you don't understand to the other person.

“Right here.”

“Oh…here we have to do this. And like this……” Rut began to explain the contents of the younger generation, not noticing that this action made the powder seem excessive by default.

"Thank you very much," Kitty said before running off. She stopped before turning around to say goodbye to Pang and then immediately went in the same direction.

“Ruth is like a teacher,” Pang said with a small smile before handing the other person a bottle of cold water.

“Thank you, and is this Pangon?” the young man teasingly asked, trying to understand.

“To be honest, I'm a little annoyed, but Pang believes Ruth doesn't think anything of his younger sibling. And his younger brother is younger brother Code Ruth.

Ruth naturally has to take care of him.”

"Thank you, is there something wrong with the powder? Your face doesn't look good." If you look closely at the young woman's face, You could see that the edges of her eyes were dark, like someone who hadn't slept for many nights.

“Pang feels like someone is secretly following her, I don't know…” She began to reveal her feelings.

“For the past few days, when Pang returned home, it felt as if someone was secretly following her. But when Pang turned around to look, she didn't see anyone.” Pang let out a sigh, as if tired.

“Then from now on, Ruth will go deliver the powder herself,” Ruth said, holding onto Pang's palm tightly.

“Thank you,” Pang smiled softly, but in truth she only told half the story about feeling like someone was stalking her since high school. Just because she thought she might have misunderstood for a moment, the psychosis disappeared. Until it came back now

So she began to be sure that it was probably the same person.

“Then let's go back.”

"Yes." The two of them happily walked home holding hands. And that night Kitty, the younger sister of the code, was mysteriously murdered.

“Today's work, I would like to thank you, Mr. Ruth Department Head.” Pang, in her staff uniform, spoke words of encouragement to her husband when she received them.

"Yes, it's the same with Pang." Ruth smiled gently before separating and going to work.

“Let's be sweet in the morning, Khun Pang,” said Chain, the current owner of the company where Ruth works, while sending a loving look towards the other party.

"Aren't you planning to break up with that stupid bastard and become my wife?" Shane, who has been courting Pang since she started working at this company, offers.

"I refuse..then I'll excuse myself." Pang replied indifferently to the other party. Then immediately walked back to work.

“One day you will have to snuggle under the powder layer…” Shen's eyes flashed with anger. before walking back to his office

“I'm a bit tired, Pang,” a senior in the department greeted me.

“Not much,” Pang said, giving the other person a smile.

"Mr. Chen, it's true. You know that a woman who already has a husband will still bother you."

"He's like that," Pang replied before letting out a soft sigh.

“But I'm really envious of their couple. Ms. Ruth is handsome and hardworking, and she's beautiful and kind like this. How was the heavens created?” Seniors in the department continued to praise. Until the face of the powder turns red into a ripe gourd.

"Oh, don't say it like that. We're not that envious. Sometimes we still have arguments like normal couples."

“Tsk tsk, don't call me a couple. They are married and must be called a married couple.”

“Yes,” Pang answered before turning around and starting to work on her own. As for the seniors, when they saw their juniors turning to work hard, they began to do their part.

“Pang, it's time to take a break.” Ruth walked to the Pang section during her break to eat lunch like she always did.

“Yes,” she replied cheerfully. Then he immediately followed the other person. They both headed to the garden next to the company and sat down on a bench under a tree.

“Are you tired?” Ruth asked as she opened her lunch box. The inside of the lunch box was filled with various kinds of food that the people on the side had made for you.

“Not much,” Pang said before starting to open her own lunchbox. Inside, it was filled with healthy food that her husband had specially prepared. She took a little and tasted it before covering her mouth gently with her palm.

"um! Delicious, let's just say Ruth's food is really the most delicious."

“Tasting it like that makes me blush.” Ruth's face brightened slightly from the compliment just now. He slowly began to taste his own portion of the food.

“No matter how much I eat this food, I really don't get bored.”

“By the way, Pang Ruth likes to give exaggerated compliments too,” she said, puffing her cheeks a little before their eyes met each other. They both stared at each other's faces for a while, then laughed and started to act. eat the rest

“By the way, is Pang worried about Mr. Chain?” Ruth asked his wife after finishing eating.

"Not at all, and I believe that after a while he'll get bored too." Pang smiled a little. Seeing that their break time was about to end, they both walked back to the company.

"flour! That's bad.” Seniors within the department rushed towards the pair as soon as they entered the company.

“Khun Chen, you are..huge.”

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Chen? Why are you crying?" Pang asked, slowly patting the other's back to comfort him.

“Just now, I took the documents that someone had left for Mr. Shane. When I opened them, I saw that they were locked. So I tried calling but there was no sound. No matter how much I called, there was no sound. I thought it was abnormal so I called the janitor to come and unlock it now. Heck. I saw Mr. Shane sitting dead and covered in blood. Heck.

I couldn't do anything, so I hurried down and came to see you all.” The older sister said in fear.

“Have you called the police yet?” Ruth asked, her voice tense.

“I called you,” she replied. For a while, the sirens from the police cars were heard all around the company that day. Everyone in the company was harassed until late into the night. After Ruth and Pang finished their investigation, they immediately returned to their accommodations.

"I'm shocked that Mr. Chain died like this." Pang's words made Ruth look back.

"Why? Or is Pang starting to like him?" Ruth asked as she walked towards the other party.

"Rutni asked something strange. After all, he is our boss," Pang said, noticing the other party's abnormality.

"Ruth, is something wrong? You seem strange," she said, using her hand to rest on the other's forehead out of habit.

“It's nothing,” he said before moving her hand to caress his own cheek.

“Pang, I have something to show you in case you feel more comfortable,” Ruth said before covering Pang's eyes with a cloth.

“Haha, Ruth, don't play like this,” she said, hoping for the other party to reply, but all she got in return was silence and the sound of their footsteps as they walked and stopped in front of a door. Ruth opened the door slowly and brought Pang in.

“Surprise,” he said, removing the blindfold. In front of her was a room filled with red curtains and lots of flower petals. She smiled with happiness reflected in her eyes. But then gradually It became a feeling similar to fear. Pang opened her eyes in shock as Ruth pulled down all the red curtains, revealing countless pictures.

Picture of the person in front...

“Nah, na, this is a picture of Pang.” She made a sound like she couldn't believe her own eyes.

“Yes, it is a picture of Pang,” the young man said in a gentle voice.

“Don't tell me that the person who has been secretly following Pang all this time is Ruth.” The woman's voice was trembling. Her eyes stared at the man in front of her with emotions beginning to emerge.

“Yes, it is Ruth. Don't be angry at Ruth. Ruth just loves dough. All Ruth did was because of Pang in the whole story secretly following her and Kitty.”

“Kitty!? What does this mean?” she asked curiously when the name of her dead sister came out of the other party's mouth.

“Well, my younger brother made some cruelty-free powder, so I made him pay for it.” The other party's words shocked the young woman greatly. She didn't think that her own husband would have something like this.

"Oh...don't tell me that Ruth killed his younger brother."

"Yes, Rut killed his younger brother himself."

How could a question arise in your head?

"Ruth just mixed sleeping pills with water for Pang to drink and then went to see his younger brother."

Ruth explained like it was normal. How did his mind become like this? It's so....

"Rut Pang wants to know if Ruth killed Mr. Chain." She asked a question. If the other person lies, she will immediately inform the police to come and arrest the other person.

“No, Ruth didn't kill me. But I was secretly thinking the same thing,” Ruth said with disappointment.

Why did he have that expression? Why was he so sad? She thought as she walked closer to the young man who in her opinion was…fascinating.

“Rut, why do you have to make that face?” she said, moving her hand to slowly caress the other person's cheek.

“Because I didn't kill it with my hands, it dared to look at the powder with those eyes.”

Ruth said, closing her eyes to the other person's touch like a kitten.

“So Ruth wants to know who did this?” Pang asked mysteriously.

“Who is it?”

“It's the powder.”

“Really?!” Ruth's expression was slightly shocked before it changed into a smile when she heard the other's next words.

“Pang can't stand it either, for daring to insult her.” Ruth looked at the person in front of her with mixed feelings.

Why has he never encountered Pang in this personality? Is this one of her true characteristics? Why? Even though he thought he liked Pang in the normal way the most, when he met this type of personality, He became even more infatuated with the person in front of him than before.

"Aren't Pang angry at Ruth for secretly stalking Pang and secretly giving her sleeping pills to drink?"

“Of course, at first Pang was afraid of people secretly following Pang. But when Pang knew it was Ruth That's why Pang understood," she said as she hugged the other person.

“Really, Ruth just wants to protect and monitor the powder's safety at all times.”

“As for the sleeping pills, Ruth just doesn't want Pang to feel uncomfortable.”

Why is he so gentle and kind? She thought before looking up at the other person.

Why does she have such a gentle heart? He thought as he immediately leaned forward and kissed the other's lips.

This is the poison of love that is slowly spreading within me. She thought as she mesmerized the touch of his lips.

Finally understand how much humans can change because of love, he thought as he slowly opened his eyes to look at the person in front of him.

Even if it's poison, accept it willingly and both of them say the same sentence in their heads. and continue living in the whirlpool of life Even though they look like ordinary people on the outside, on the inside they are twisted with a strange and indescribable love...
