Him & Her

Opening day for Mathayom 5 at the famous school in the Lat Phrao area, Horwang School. This is the beginning of a little love story that happened between Kaning, a cute little girl in grade 5. No matter where you look, everything is perfect. Everyone admires this girl and Mai Ek, a 5th grade boy.

That is quite quiet and doesn't interact with anyone. Most people will always see Mai Ek as a dark and gloomy person.

At the regular room of Mathayom 5/12 students Kaning and friends like Korya, a young girl with a pretty face and Taro, basketball player The three of them were sitting together having a conversation after not seeing each other for nearly 3 months, but Kaning's line caught the eye of the boy who was sitting quietly alone in the back of the room. His face was covered with messy hair and glasses that made it impossible to see the man's true face. Khaning stared into his glossy eyes until the grass greeted him.

“What are you looking at?” Koya asked curiously.

“No, just looking at something idly,” Kaning replied with a calm expression.

“Or are you looking at that person?” Kor Ya asked, pointing his finger at the man sitting in the back of the room.

“Oh, it's a master tree?” Taro said.

“You know me?!” Ko Grass asked in shock. Because Taro usually doesn't have many friends like this.

"Just knowing each other, we've never talked," Taro replied.

“But has anyone ever heard Mai Ek speak? I see you don't really hang out with anyone." Koya asked again.

“It seems like someone who doesn't like to socialize.”

While the two were discussing the matter of the main tree There was one eye still staring at the young man in the back of the room. Because I wonder what Mai Ek's true identity is. As for Taro, he was thinking in his heart. Why did the cheerful girl sit silently and not talk like usual? Taro suddenly had an idea.

Or maybe Kaning secretly likes that person?

After school one day It was a normal day like every other day. Khaning came home to do housework and cook dinner as usual. But something has changed. Just like the troublesome person in the house, Kanin, Khaning's real younger brother, returns home unusually late. But then Khaning heard the sound of the door opening.

So I ran to criticize my younger sibling for going on a naughty trip and coming home so late. But then Khaning saw a man the same age as himself with his mischievous younger brother. But out of concern for his own younger sibling Kaning then pulled his younger sibling to hug him out of concern. and thanked the man, but the man suddenly said,

“Uh, that is, Mr. Khaning,” the man said quietly, but it made Khaning very startled. Because how does this man even know his own name?

“Oh, so you don't know how you know my name?” Khaning asked in alarm.

"I mean, I'm the main stick."

“Ha! Mai Ek? The person in the back of the room!?” Kaning asked to be sure.

“Yes,” Mai Ek replied in a calm voice.

I can only think and wonder. Why is the kid in the back of the room like Mai Ek dressed like that? You can pierce four holes in each ear and you can also pierce your mouth. Moreover, his style of dressing doesn't seem to fit his look at school at all. But then a naughty little child spoke up and said,

“P'Ning, I'm hurt,” the young man said in a voice that was ready to cry. The older sister turned to look at her own legs and saw that Her leg was bleeding at the knee. Elderly person is nervous. She would take her younger sibling to sit in the house but did not forget to say to her guests,

“If you don't mind, would you like to come sit and drink some water first?”

“Yes, that is-” Mai Ek couldn't finish speaking. Kaning then interjected.

"Nah, come in," causing Mai Ek to surrender and enter the house.

“What happened recently that caused a wound like this?” Khaning asked his mischievous little brother.

“Well, I went and saw my little brother being chased by a dog until he fell. So I went in to help,” Mai-ek replied.

“Oh, just like this. I'm still afraid of dogs and haven't changed at all,” Kaning said.

“Oh, so let's just eat here today. The price of chicken eggs was reduced so I bought a lot. We definitely won't eat it all.”

“Let's just say Please help me,” Mai Ek replied.

After that, Mai Ek came to Khaning's house almost every day. Because the mischievous younger brother is very attached to the master's stick. On days when Mai Ek doesn't come, I feel especially lonely and depressed. And then there was one day when Khaning learned the secret of Mai Ek.

“Khaning, it's really bad.” Mai Ek called out to Khaning who was cooking in the kitchen, anxiously.

“Is there something-” Kaning couldn't finish speaking. His eyes caught sight of something. The tattoo of Mai Ek itself It made Kaning shocked for a long time. Mai Ek's tattoo is on his side, extending from his chest to his hips. Plus there's one on the arm.

“What is that?!” Kaning asked in utter shock.

“Well, what should I do?” Mai Ek said frantically.

“In a few days there will be gym class. I'm afraid that everyone will see this thing,” Mai-ek said, pointing at his own tattoo.

“You wear long sleeves, stupid,” Khaning replied.

At the male student locker room of a famous school in the Lat Phrao area. Mai Ek is changing clothes to go to physical education class. But Mai Ek waited for everyone to leave the room first. To change clothes because he didn't want anyone to see his tattoos. But then someone greeted him and said,

“Aren't you going to change clothes?” This is the first conversation between Taro and Mai Aek.

“Not now. We have to wait for everyone to leave first or we'll all see that thing,” Mai Ek replied and muttered to himself.

"That thing? What is that thing?" Taro asked.

“Oh, it's this guy.” Maiek lifted up his shirt to show Taro the tattoo. This shocked Taro for a while because he didn't think that this nerd would have anything like this.

“I'm so scared. Only one person has actually seen it.” Maiek muttered, but Taro overheard it, causing Taro to think further. How did Kaning go to see it? And when did the two of them become close? My head is full of questions. It secretly made Taro think a little too far because Kaning was the girl he liked.

“How are you and Kanin so close?” Taro asked the master.

“It's just that Mr. Khaning doesn't hate me. Mr. Kaning is so good that he is too good for me. We're just friends." He replied with a calm expression.

“Then I can confess my love to Khaning, right?” I asked to test this friend's heart.

“You must,” Mai Ek replied.

After school Taro is about to confess his feelings for Kanin for almost two years. He took a long time to gather up the courage to speak to Khan about this matter.

“Now, Mai Ek, today, can you go play with the mischievous friend?” Khaning asked Mai Ek.

“Did you not hear this?” Khaning asked again because he would not hear what he had said.

"Kaning, are you free? I have something to talk to you about." Taro interjected.

“Khun Khaning, please go talk to Taro. I'll go pick up the monks from school myself. See you at home." Mai Ek said with a smile on his face. It's like nothing happened.

"Ah, what's going on?"

“Let's go talk together.”

Then Taro took Kaning out to the balcony to talk. Mai Ek's eyes glanced at Kaning who Taro had summoned to talk. Mai Ek thought that he really wasn't suitable for Khaning, because he was both gloomy and not like Khaning who was always bright like the sun.

After finishing talking with Taro, he returned home as usual. Then I saw two young men playing together. It was a picture that Kaning saw every evening. Tua Kaning feels at ease having Mai Ek come to play with her like this.

“Today, Kanin, I apologize for my duty of not being able to pick you up at school,” Kaning said to his younger brother.

“It's okay, bro. I want to play with my older brother too, haha,” the little one replied brightly.

“Mai Ek, can you come out and talk to me for a moment?” Khaning asked with a calmer and calmer expression than before.

“Last evening, Taro asked me to talk to you,” Kaning started the conversation.

In Mai Ek's mind, he thought The time had come when he himself would not be able to come to Khaning's house so often again. Because Kaning and Taro would probably become lovers and spend time together. He himself was probably just a stranger blocking the way.

“Taro told me You said I was too good for you. I'm not suitable for you. Did you really say that?” Kaning asked with a serious and annoyed expression.

"Eh! Wait a minute, what about Taro calling Mr. Ning to go-” Mai Ek didn't finish speaking before Kaning interrupted.

“Do you really think like that?!” Kaning asked in a loud voice. And I want to know what that person really thinks.

“True,” Maiek said.

“Why would you think something like that?”

“That is, for me, if you are with me. It might make you feel gloomy as well.”

“Don't you know that you came to my house? Come play with me like this every day. It made me feel very at ease.”

Kaning said while holding back tears.

“Then I myself am very honored that Mr. Khaning thinks of me like that,” Mai-ek said and went with happiness that Khaning didn't hate himself like other people who came into his life. Because he himself had a problem with approaching people all the way from elementary school until his junior year of high school, which was Sarawittaya School.

When he reached high school he would start over. By always being a quiet, anonymous person. But Mai Ek himself secretly looked at Kaning all along. What kind of person is this bright?

Several months have passed and now it is the start of the first semester. Mai Ek still comes to play at Khaning's house. as usual, but there was something unusual It is different from before. Khaning's father returned home himself.

“Hello everyone,” Khaning's father greeted everyone after stepping into the house.

Everyone in the house was silent, as if he didn't even exist. But Kaning's father caught the eye of Mai Ek. An unknown person was sitting on the sofa and playing with his youngest child. Kaning's father was quite shocked.

“Ning! Who is this sweet-faced guy?!” Khaning's father asked loudly in shock.

“Oh! What are you shouting loudly? Besides, he has a name, young man,” Kaning replied to his own father. That's right, Khaning's father's name is Noom. The fact that Khaning calls his father by his own name in such a curt way is not unusual in this house. Because the role of Khaning in the house is like another mother.

“Young man, what is your name?” Khaning's father quietly whispered in Mai Ek's ear.

“My name is Mai Aek,” Mai Aek answered shyly.

“And Donna, what is your relationship with Khaning? Are you a lover?” Khaning's father asked.

“That is-” Mai Ek couldn't finish answering. Khaning then ran out of the kitchen and took a spatula and hit his father on the head once, right in the middle of his stomach.

“Young man, what nonsense are you asking? If it is, then why is it?” Khaning replied with anger, admitting that Mai Ek really was his girlfriend.

Mai Ek, when he heard Kaning's answer like that, was secretly quite embarrassed. As for Kaning's father, he was completely stunned. I didn't think that my father's little daughter would be this grown up.

“Sister Ning, I'm hungry,” the young man said.

“Yes, please wait a moment for me to do it,” Khaning replied sweetly.

While Khaning was preparing the table to eat, Khaning's father noticed that his crockery and cutlery were disposable plastic. It made him confused quite a bit. While the cutlery of Kaning Kanin Ing, his wife And even though Mai Ek used ordinary steel cutlery

“Ning! Why are only Daddy's cutlery made of plastic?!” Jeong Khaning's father shouted to his daughter, who was preparing food in the kitchen.

“Oh, well, you don't come home often, so I don't have any of your stuff,” Khaning replied to his father.

“Father, do you want to use my things?” Mai Ek said, because he was afraid that Father Khaning would be angry. But everyone in the house told them not to, even Kaning's mother spoke with the same voice.

“Why does everyone treat Dad like this?” Father Khaning said in a fussed manner.

Today's hand support was a very fun meal for Mai Ek. On the way home, Khaning asked for a volunteer to walk him to the front of the alley. And then we started talking.

“I'm sorry, that old man is very noisy today,” Kaning was talking about his own father.

“Oh, that's okay. I think it's fun,” Mai Ek replied, laughing a little.

“And what my father said,” Khaning said, looking slightly embarrassed.

“The thing about my father asking if we're lovers is whether you want to be or not.” Kaning's question shocked the main character quite a bit. Are we being asked to be girlfriends? Mai Ek thought in his heart.

“Actually, I want to be Mr. Kaning's girlfriend!” Mai Ek mustered up the courage to answer like that.

It turned out that during the walk, no one said anything, but Mai Ek suddenly put his hand on Khaning's hand. It made Khaning himself quite shocked. But during the walk, it made Mai Ek and Khaning feel quite warm.

During high school, everything goes by so quickly, especially when they have to go to university again. When I think about it, I feel sad because when I go to university, I may not have this much free time to meet each other anymore. Make it a party to celebrate each other. After the party, the two walked home together when Kaning suddenly started a conversation.

“Do you think that after we go to university? Will we be able to sit and chill like this again?”

"I don't think we can get together often."

“Then after graduation, let's live together.”

“Oh no, after graduation we will get married.”

“Oh, yes!”

The two of them made an engagement and promised to have each other forever.
