"So, what will happen?" He asked the landlady. They mismatched the names of the dorm's owner. Two of them who inquired for a room had the same name. They mistook him for the first one who got the room.
"Sorry to say this but the real owner will move here two days after." The landlady had an apologetic face. Of course, she had to be. Because he didn’t know where to sleep when he packed up his room.
"You're saying that I need to look for another dorm, Phi?" He asked with eyes wide open.
"Yes, Nong. Sorry again. But don't worry because there are many dorms available in other places."
They signed out the contract after. He frowned. He went back to his dorm and called his Mae to inform her what happened.
And by what the landlady said never happened. Because he couldn't find an available dorm. He was been looking for two days in a row. He sighed and sat on the chair outside the coffee shop he saw. He slightly brushed his hair because of annoyance.

Tristan chuckled when the pale boy showed an irritated face because of him. His first day became lively after seeing him again. It never crossed his mind that they would actually meet after the incident in the mall. And a small part of him is happy when he found out that they went to the same university. He could annoy him easily.
"You're weird. What's the catch?" Roy asked, his best buddy.
"Already had sex on the first day of school?" Regan added.
"Shia! Why would I have sex right now? Not because you always have sex when you have free time means I can do that too." He looked at his two buddies. Their face was flushed like a red tomato.
"Fuck you, Tristan." Both of them shouted but with a smug look.
This explained why he didn't creep out when the pale man used that word towards him. His two buddies were gays. And it was usual for them to talked about their sex life with him.
"I just found something very interesting." He said after a while of silence. Roy and Regan looked at him suspiciously.
He arched his eyebrows. "What?"
"Something or someone?"
He shrugged. "Just interesting. Come on, we still have next class."
The first day of school had already passed. Their class for the second subject would start at 10 a.m so they decided to hang outside. They were bickering about something when someone caught his attention. He stopped all of a sudden that made the two behind him bumped on his back.
“Shia! What the hell is wrong, buddy?” Regan asked while Roy blew on his forehead.
'Third time's a charm, huh?' He asked himself.
He walked faster towards the paled-skin man sitting on the bench of one store; without waiting for his friends who were shouting behind. He squatted down in front of him, the pale man’s head was lowered down the table not minding his presence. He poked his head but he didn't respond.
"Hey dude, want to cut my balls now?" He poked and poked him all over again, wanting his attention. His friends were just watching them beside them.
"Shia! Fuck off! What do you want?" The man suddenly blurted out?
He jolted on his seat because of the sudden burst. And realized after that the pale man wasn’t in good condition. He seemed frustrated and lost.
"Amh, why do you look like that?" He asked. He was wondering why the pale man was sitting almost lifeless outside the shop where the sun rays directly touched his skin.
"Why do you care? Fuck off, okay?" The man lowered his head again.
He looked at his friends. They were shocked too like him. He signed them to go inside first and they nodded.
He was staring at the man in front for minutes. When he noticed that the man really shut off his presence, he went inside the shop.
He bought a clubhouse sandwich and one of the best-seller coffee in the shop. He placed the two items beside the man's head. He waited for minutes again before he poked him on his arm.
"What now!?" He glared at him that made him gulp. Fuck! He's really mad.
