Chapter 2 Like A Newlyweed

• "Forth? Nice to see you again after a long time no see," said Pharm while giving Forth a bro fist. "You're a head hazer now? Wow! I've known that since I met you at the moon campus event."
• "Don't embarrass me, Pha," Forth said with a laugh. He then looked at Kit. "Hi Kit, I heard you're dating my junior too? He's also being targeted as a potential head hazer later."
• Kit's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. "Oi, Forth, don't make this up," Kit snapped shyly.
• Rain smiled seeing his friends' interactions with Forth. His group and Forth's group had known each other since the beginning of their college days.
• They often drink together or just visit each other and have lunch together in the canteen of engineering, medical colleges, or find a new place to eat together.
• However, their busy schedule makes them less likely to do it anymore. Everyone is busy with their own activities.
• "Hey Rain, shall we go now? Before it gets too late?" Forth asked Rain who was looking at him.
• Rain snapped out of his thoughts and nodded quickly.
• "Hey, I didn't know you two were dating? Since when?" asked Kit in surprise. He pointed to Rain. "Rain, why didn't you ever tell me that you two were dating?"
• Rain reached out and smacked Kit's arm on the table. "Stupid! Forth and I are going to find an apartment together, Kit."
• "Wow? You guys even planned to live together?" Kit continued while rubbing his arm which was hot from Rain's punch. "Pha, you know your son is dating and they're going to live together?"
• Rain covered his face with both hands. Forth laughed amused at Kit and Rain's behavior.
• "I met Rain accidentally and saw him looking through apartment brochures. I also happen to be looking for a new apartment, so I thought what's the harm in looking for it together," Forth explained to Kit, then he felt his arm lightly tapped by Rain.
• "Don't bother explaining to him, Forth. Kitty is just making drama. He's bored because Kwan hasn't shown up for a few days and bothered him," said Rain with a smirk. "He must be missing his hot nights with Kwan."
• "Rain, you want to die?" Kit snapped with a red face.
• Pharm, Rain, and Forth laughed together seeing it.
• "Alright, Kit, you know, no one can win against Rain for tongues," said Pharm as he patted Kit on the back. "Despite what Kit said earlier, I don't think living together is a bad idea, Forth. With how busy we are now, it's definitely more practical to rent an apartment together. We'll definitely be out a lot and it's going to be expensive paying for a place we don't live in often. I also just got permission to buy my own apartment and plan to take Wayar stay with me, if his father give permittion to."
• "Well, maybe we can think about it later while we look around," Forth decided. He touched Rain's arm. "Come on."
• "I'll go first, Pha, Kitty," Rain said goodbye.
• Pharm and Forth form a bro fist and Forth nods to Kit. "Take care my son, Bro," said Pharm.
• "You guys get along like newlyweds, Rain," Kit said as Forth and Rain walked away side by side.
• Rain pointed his middle finger at Kit as he continued walking and heard Kit laughing. "That little Kitkat," Rain hissed. "He is so annoying."
• "He is cute. Pharm and Kit just love you very much, Rain. You are loved."
• Rain smacked Forth's shoulder and peak out his tounge. Forth laughed as he handed the helmet to Rain. Rain is very cute, adorably cute, said Forth in mind.
• "Forth, is this a new helmet?" asked Rain, examining the helmet in his hand. "Why bother to buy a new one. You can just borrow from your friend."
• Forth took the helmet and carefully placed it on Rain's head. He brushed off the bangs that fell on Rain's forehead so they wouldn't block his view and made sure the helmet was securely locked under Rain's chin.
• "Yeah. I think we'll need it in the next few days for our apartment-hunting mission and later when we find an apartment close by, you might need it the next time I pick you up or drop you off."
• "Huh? Why? I have a car," said Rain surprised. "No need to pick or drop me."
• Forth laughed. "Sometimes, if we wake up late and need to hurry to campus, or are too tired to drive a car, motorbikes are the best option. You can just hop in my bike."
• "Ah, that's right," Rain muttered, hiding his blushing face. Why did he feel embarrassed because he thought Forth would pick him up and drop him off on purpose? He must be too thougtfull.
• Forth pulled Rain's hand gently to help him get onto the motorbike. He wrapped Rain's arms around his waist.
• "Hold on tight, Rain, you're so light. I was worried you'd be blown away by the wind and I didn't notice."
• Forth laughed at his own joke but then flinched. "Aww, Rain, what are you doing? Why bite me?"
• Rain chuckled as he managed to stop Forth from teasing him. He bit Forth's shoulder lightly, but managed to startle Forth. "I'm going to bite you again if you don't want to get on your bike, Forth and this time it will be harder."
• "Well, actually I don't mind you biting me again, but this time I'll make sure you bite in the right place," Forth said, pointing to his pursing lips.
• "Forth!"
• "Ay ay ay, my Queen, let's go."
• Forth smiled feeling Rain's chin on his shoulder and Rain's hands wrapped around his waist and then intertwined in the middle of his stomach.
• Rain smelled so good as if he had just taken a shower, even though it was already evening. Warm and sweet vanilla scent. Forth will never forget this scent, which he had loved since the first time he met Rain and sat next to him as he and Kit accompanied him to wait for Pharm to talk to the coach at their batch's campus moon event.
• Rain hoped that Forth's leather jacket was thick enough that he couldn't feel how fast Rain's heart was beating. He inhaled the masculine scent of cinnamon and musk from the body in front of him as he rested his chin on Forth's shoulder and wrapped his arms around his waist.
• He could feel how Forth's muscles tightened and fkexed with each move and it made Rain tempted to look that again, like when they first met at a campus moon practice event when Forth took off his shirt from the heat after a dance practice session.
• The roads were jammed, but Forth and Rain were thinking the same thing. Hopefully this traffic jam doesn't end soon.
