Chapter Seven

"Sup asshole!" Saint said as he entered Gulf's room. "Where's the grumpy asshole?" He asked.

"Here is the grumpy asshole you bastard!" Nine said smacking Saint's head as he entered Gulf's room. 

"Ouch!" Saint said rubbing his head and imitating to smack Nine's head back when he turned to face Gulf. 

"You stink like the gutters. Get up and go shower cause we have our afternoon class in an hour." Nine said slightly kicking his twin. 

"I will take revenge Phoomie. Just wait and watch. Everyone calls me Devil for a reason." Gulf said mumbling to himself and smirking.

"Good now he even lost his mind! Get up or else I'm showing Mew all of your embarrassing pics." Nine said and Gulf quickly jumped out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. 

He briefly stopped and flipped his finger to his twin and slammed the door behind him.

"Hey! Who's Mew?" Saint asked his best friend sitting down comfortably and opening the box of chocolates on Gulf's desk. 

"Leave that for a moment, I see that you have chosen death Saint Suppapong. Are you aware of your sin?" Nine said glaring at Saint and the box of chocolate. 

Saint followed the trail and swallowed the content in his mouth. Fuck! What did I do? He thought. 

"Good luck on your survival. Hope so Gulf doesn't kill you since you know how precious those chocolates are to him. You just touched his "limited edition Trinity - Truffles Extraordinaire'. You do know he's sensitive about them. He becomes like a T-Rex protecting his precious eggs. That's why Zee calls him T-Rex. He too once did what you're doing now." Nine said with his sinister laugh. 

"What the hell have I done. Help me please. I'll do anything you want me to do. Please!"  Saint literally begged Nine. 

"Anything?" Nine said smirking while Saint just nodded. 

"Cool then. Be my servant for a week. Be at my beck and call." Nine said blowing on his fingernails. 

"You're asking too much in payment Nine." Saint said glaring at Nine. 

"Suit yourself then. I won't be saving you if he decides to throw you off the balcony." Nine said. 

Saint just shivered at the thought. Thrown out? Like a sack? Out the balcony? Hell no! Death or slavery? Definitely slavery.  Saint thought to himself and nodded in response while Nine grinned evilly.

Gulf came out of the bathroom all dressed and ready to head out when his eyes landed on the box of his precious chocolates and he widened his eyes. 

He marched towards Saint and Nine practically yelling at them, bringing out his inner T-rex out when Nine suddenly stopped him.

"Easy there bull head. Do something and I'm making a video and showing it to your precious Mew." Nine said smirking at his approach. Definitely effective. 

Hearing Mew's name, Gulf suddenly calmed down and let out a deep breath. "I'm forgiving you this time Saint, do it next time and you're dead meat!" Gulf said getting out of the room and then yelling like a madman in the hallway, loud enough to burst one's eardrums. 

"Woah!" Saint said in amusement. He just couldn't believe his eyes. The T-rex just calmed down with a name? A freaking name? 

Saint quickly held Nine's hand in his and looking at him straight in the eye. " Who's this guy tell me. I'll find him and thank him for saving my life. Whoever he is. Next time if Gulf is about to explode, I'll run to him." Saint said with hopeful eyes. 

"Dream on bitch! I won't and remember you're my servant, deal effective starting now!" Nine said and walked out the room with a victorious laugh. 

"They sure are the devil duo. One explorable like a time bomb and the other lethal and poisonous like the inland taipan snake. I'm the only normal and innocent human stuck between these two. Why  I even best friends with them? Oh gosh!" Saint exclaimed ruffling his hair in frustration. 

"Why are you trying to pull your hair out? Let me guess...Nine?" A voice said, leaning on the doorframe, wearing a smile on his face.

"Zee?" Saint said staring at the man. 

He approached closer and with every step forward, increased Saint's heartbeat. He just hoped for Zee to not hear his rapidly increasing heartbeat. 

The man he'd been having a secret crush on since 2 years. 

Gosh. Those seductive looking eyes, that addictive smile, the perfect hot body. This guy he gets even hotter day by day. Help me Lord! I cannot breath. Fuck you!  He screamed internally. 

Zee had to snap his fingers Infront of Saint to get his attention. "Hey! What are you dreaming about?" Zee asked rasing his eyebrow. 

"Ah...ohh...ohoo...me? I was just thinking how my life was spared today." Saint said scratching his non-itchy head. 

"Huh? Why what happened?" Zee asked and Saint explained the whole scenario only to earn a laughter from the other person. 

"Huh? Why are you laughing?" Saint asked genuinely confused. 

"Well, first thing is that it's funny someone can actually tame that dinosaur and only his name does wonders already. I must say that Mew has already earned my respect." Zee chuckled while Saint nodded his head in agreement. 

"And? What's the second one?" Saint asked curiously. 

"Ummmm...the second? Well, it's cute that you nearly fell in trouble doing the same thing I did. You were lucky that a person named Mew came in his life to save your cute little ass." Zee said ruffling Saint's hair gently, while Saint blushed red as a tomato. My ass? Cute! Omg! Shut up Saint! You're not a Saint at all. 

"Now I guess you should hurry for your class or you'll be late. It's 11:45 already." Zee said checking his watch and that snapped Saint out of his thoughts. 

"What the holy fuck! Ma'am Achara will whoop our asses if we're late and I don't want more assignments as punishment. Bye Zee. See you later." Saint said as he grabbed his bag and dashed out the room, almost hitting his face on the door. 

Zee stood their chuckling at the cute little creature's antics. "What? Holy fuck? What's that supposed to mean? Gosh this guy is too cute and what? See me later?" Zee said smiling like a fool. 

This kid is always so damn cute. Wish I was bold enough to tell him that I like him. Zee thought to himself. The fair skin, his cute button down nose, chubby cheeks with a tinge of blush in them, and his oh-so good looking full and plump red lips. So Kissable. I could even do nothing and just stare at him all day. Zee thought to himself as he appreciated the petite guy's beauty. 

"Wait. If Gulf can, why the fuck can't I? Man up Zee." He told himself. 

"The fuck were you doing inside?" Yelled Nine at Saint. 

"Well I had a talk with Zee, so I was late." Saint said smiling shyly.

"Gosh this idiot!" Gulf said rolling his eyes. 

"When the fuck are you gonna tell him that you like him you stupid shit!" Nine said, frustrated with his friend's behaviour. 

"2 years! Fucker, 2 bloody years! How long you gonna wait? Look at Gulf. He shamelessly hit on a guy he first met and they are even progressing. I guess so, that's if he doesn't choose to run away seeing his real side." Nine said cockyly and earning a smack from Gulf. 

"Ok fine. I will think about it assholes! Now move your ass up and let's get going or else's we will be getting whooped." Saint said as a reminder. 

"Who's classes do we have now?" Asked the twins in unison. 

"Seriously?" Saint asked, staring at his friends unbelievably, while the two looked at each other and back at Saint with crossed arms.

"We just have one class today and you don't know who's it is? Well then let me remind you, it's Miss Achara." Saint said with a poker face. 

The other two jolted up hearing the name and looked at each other before dashed inside Gulf's car hurriedly. A shiny, sleek black Maserati gran-turismo. 

Nine popped his head out the window and yelled. "The fuck you standing there? Want me to call Zee and help you move?" 

Saint just flipped his finger at Nine and motioned them to leave first and then hopped on his stunning white Ducati Panigale V4.

As obvious, Saint reached first, and waited for his friends, who always like making a "grand entry", but thankfully they didn't put on a show that day, instead they rushed their asses to the class and made it minutes before the teacher arrived. They settled themselves at the third last row and attended their class. Biophysics. "I'd better get ready to doze the hell off. I hate this subject like shit!" Mumbled Gulf to himself while rolling his eyes. 

After getting their brains rammed in the class, they got ready to go when the class ended. 

"Hey Nine, don't you have some practice or something? I heard some students from the other class say that they were staying back." Saint said shoving his stuff in his bag. 

"Geez! You seriously are a social butterfly. Whom do you not know in this Uni. Lemme guess. You know every single soul probably." Nine stated rolling his eyes. 

"Yeah I have to wait for an hour or two at the most." Nine said and looked at Gulf. " What about you? You have the competition day after tomorrow right? So... You staying?" He added. 

Gulf nodded his head lazily. "When this shit ends I'm going to sleep in for 3 days straight." He said resting his head backwards. 

"I am sorry to disappoint you but, we will be starting our exams next week. " Saint said picking up his bag and standing up. 

"What the fuck bro!" Gulf said with widened eyes and then rubbing his palms on his face with frustration. 

"You asshole! You're such a mood killer. Run for your life now bitch." Gulf said looking at Nine, who just nodded as an assurance that he was in for it. 

Saint saw the brothers exchange looks and he knew, that at this moment, he fucked up. He hurriedly ran out of the room, stumbling upon desks and chairs. He somehow reached the door and ran like a madman in the hallway. 

These three were too good runners and anybody witnessing it would think that they were being chased by a group of gangsters or something of that sort. 

Stop chasing me you devils from hell. Saint thought while running like a madman.

"Ouch! Fuck!" Nine groaned. 

"Why the fuck do you have to run in the hallways!" The guy on the floor said fuming in anger. 

Gulf looked back and saw his twin on the ground rubbing his back. He quickly rushed towards him and help him up as well as the other guy. 

"You better not ru-" he couldn't complete his sentence as he was busy admiring Nine. All the anger that he had before, vanished like dust and his heart immediately soften. 

Nine on the other had looked extremely apologetic and had his cutest puppy face on. Shining round eyes with his lower lip jutted out. The sun shown on his face giving life to his sharp yet soft facial features. His baby like smooth skin glistening under the sun and his cubby cheeks having a tinge of red in them, his juicy pouting lips added to the divinity of his appearance and so did his sparkly doe eyes. 

Fuck. How the hell can a guy look this cute? Even girls are nothing Infront of this guy. The guy thought to himself. 

"I'm seriously sorry for bumping on you." Nine said bowing his head. 

"Nah. I'm glad you did." The guy said which made both the twins look at him in confusion. 

"Huh? Did you hit your head somewhere or what?" Nine asked with a raised eyebrow. 

The guy just chuckled and shook his head. 

"It's good that you bumped into me cause I got to see your pretty face." He said with a huge grin. 

Creep. That's what the twins thought and if glaring could kill someone right now, the would be dead by now and Gulf the murderer. He hated the fact that some good-looking creepy guy was hitting on his twin. His hand itched for some action but he controlled his anger. 

Nine just stared at the guy with his poker face.

"Oh, before I forget, my name is Joong Archen Jongcheveevat." The guy said smiling and motioning his hand for a handshake. 

"I am Nine Kornchid Traipipattanapong." Nine said with a straight face, ignoring the hand outed for a handshake. 

Gulf stood there watching his twin being all tough unlike others who'd possibly drool over the guy Infront of them. He though it was enough and decided to interrupt.

"Alright! Enough of the introduction, we need to go. Saint is waiting for us." Gulf said staring at the guy intensely and taking Nine's hand in his.

Nine looked up at Gulf and then their clasped hands, giving him a what the fuck look while Gulf simply smiled at him.

Joong stood their eying their clasped hands  and a wave of jealousy hit him. He had no idea why was he feeling this way when he saw the guy just moment ago.

"Well, who might you be to have held this beautiful man's hand?" Joong asked faking a smile at Gulf. 

"Someone you'd want to keep your distance with, if you want to stay alive." Gulf said cockyly and pulled Nine away with him. 

"Who the hell is this guy to be talking to me like this. I already fucking hate him." Joong said with gritted teeth and clenched his fists as he watched the two walk down the hallway. 

"No one has ever talked to me that way. I'll make sure to get back to you one day." Joong added smirking. 

"Bloody creep." Gulf muttered annoyingly. 

"Forget about him and let's go cause he doesn't matter. You have to practice and so do I. Where the fuck is Saint." Nine said looking around. 

"At your beck and call master." Saint said popping out from one of the pillars and bowing down dramatically. 

"Stop with the shit and let's get going." Nine said scoffing.

Gulf headed towards his shooting range while Nine and Saint headed towards the auditorium, where everyone participating in the pageant were present.

"I hate you Saint for putting me up on this shit." Nine said scowling at Saint. 

"Aww come on! I just put your pretty little face to use. You should be thanking me." Saint said proudly, earning a smack on the head. 

"Stop smacking my precious head shorty." Saint said glaring at Nine. 

"Well this shorty is enough to take you down. I warn you don't mess my mood up." Nine said staring at Saint. 

"Nine! You're late. Why are you still standing there? Come here FAST!" Dean yelled. 

"Coming Dean!" Nine said and pulled Saint along with him.

Gulf reached at the range and it was packed. All of them had been practicing and he noticed some who'd be participating in the competition as well. 

Their Uni was the only one that had a shooting range and it was sponsored by Tae Darvid Traipipattanapong. It was open for other university students as well, that's why it was packed today. People participating on the competition were there. 

He stood there watching each and everyone and one particular person caught his eye. He couldn't see his face, but the way he shot, told him he was quite good at it, and he thought that it might be fun competing with him. 

He then stationed himself at one empty booth, five stations away from the other guy. He geared up and positioned himself, aiming at the target and shot. Bullseye. He smiled and shot again till he was left with no bullets. He hit the bullseye all 6 times. Like Pavel had said, he indeed was improving in his skills and he felt proud at that. 

Five stations away, the guy looked at Gulf in amusement as he hit the bullseye repeatedly without missing the target once. He was fascinated and a wave of competitiveness filled his system. He indirectly wanted to compete with him. 

That's how boys are. Competing at literally everything. 

He then smirked and pulled the trigger and hit the bullseye thrice and the once on the number nine and the other one a bit above the bullseye. 

Gulf saw this and took it as an indirect invitation for a challenge and he continued shooting and hit the bullseye 5 times and once slightly above the bullseye.

Gulf was satisfied though he wanted to hit the bullseye all six times, but he was still satisfied. He put down his gears and headed towards the guy to tell him that it was fun, but froze the moment he saw him. 

"You!" They both said in unison. 

"Why the hell are you doing here Joong?" 

"That's what I want to ask. What are you doing here, you whatever your name is." Joong said.

"My name is Gulf, and I am here to practice as you can see." Gulf said.

"I think you are pretty good at it, though not as good as me." Gulf added with a smirk. 

"It's just a matter of time. Wait till I show you what I can do." Joong said in utter annoyance. 

"Well, I'll be waiting for the day and look forward to your skills." Gulf added mockingly and patted his back before leaving. 

"Why do I keep getting humiliated by this guy! Argh!" Joong said in frustration. 

"I hate him to the core now and I hope I don't see him anytime soon." He added and stomped his way out in anger. 

Little did he know that they'd be meeting very soon, to their liking or no.
