"Who permitted you to lift your head? Want to see my handsome face," said P'Lam angrily as he watch-over the freshmen with his angry eyes.

All the engineering freshmen in that sotus gathering lowered their heads immediately to reduce their senior's wrath. This same situation has been going on for a few hours now. It is almost the last month of their sotus gathering, and the hazers have been more cut and direct with the juniors.

According to them, the students who couldn't finish the sotus till the flag ceremony are not eligible to call themself engineers in the far future. If they can't even handle this small obstacle such as sotus in their school life;

Then how are they going to face the harsh site work?

or

The headache the blue-collar jobs throw towards them?

So being mean and strict to mold them into someone great in the future seems nothing terrible to the hazers, especially to Forth and Lam. Those two have been extra hard on the junior this week. Forth even ordered Ming to participate in sotus after the Star and Moon competition.

Since Ming doesn't want to argue or have any troubles with his annoying seniors, he just agreed to attend the gathering. But he didn't expect the sotus to drag until midnight. It's around one something now, and the meeting doesn't seem like ending any time soon.

Ming didn't agree to become the moon of engineering when Forth first approached him. But, he eventually accepted after he knows that Wayo is also the moon that representing his faculty. Getting himself busy with activities and packed with classes made him less worried about his life issues or the past.

He is trying his best to change and be an ordinary university student. If joining this sotus is what it takes to be an engineering student, he will follow it without any issues.

But why does today's sotus takes too long?

Kit's POV

"Ai'Beam, I understand that you want to wait for your hubby here, but why the hell should I wait as well?" I asked, annoyed.

It's fucking midnight. Don't these engineering stupids sleep?

At least let me sleep. Why are these morons even having this gathering in the first place, again?

I would never understand.

What's making me more pissed off was, this annoying friend of mine agreed to my point about sotus until he coupled with Forth.

And, Boom.

He praises sotus like he knew everything about it. More like he experienced it. He is just too loyal to his boyfriend.

"Hye Kitty, did you questioned like this to Pha when he made us attend the star and moon competition? Then why you're complaining non-stop to me? Can't you even do this little favor for me? Even Pha is not complaining," stated Beam without averting his eyes from Forth at the center of the stage.

"It's because he has a nong to keep him company, all I have here is you who is drooling on your hubby. I wonder why your saliva hasn't dripped down your mouth yet?" I added as I mocked him.

"Oi Kitty, don't exaggerate things. I don't drool. And it's not my fault that you don't have any company," he replied smugly.

And we two continue to brick to each other.

"Guys, stop it already. It looks like the gathering is going to end soon. Why don't you both think about where to eat after this? Suggested Phana, who can't take our childish fight anymore.

"Why? What happened, Phi? You don't like to be here?" asked Wayo innocently.

"No, Wayo. He doesn't have anybody to company him," Beam teased me with his stupid smile.

"Shut up, Ai Asshole," I cursed him in return.

"Ohh, I see. Then, don't worry, Phi. The training is almost over," convinced Wayo as he smiled sweetly at me. This boy is too cute to be true.

As the practice ended, Wayo dragged Phana with him to the nearby food stall while Beam runs off to Forth.

I was once again left alone by my best friends.

Great, right?

So, I took out my phone as I scrolled through social media to get rid of the boredom while waiting for my traitor friends.

Ming's POV

Damn my head. Why the hell do my seniors have to make me bow my head for this long? Now due to blood circulation, my head is dizzy and throbbing.

I tried my best from falling as I stand up from our group sit-up position. But no, my legs give away and fall into Thada's arms. Luckily that guy stands behind me.

"Oi, meng. Are you alright? What happened?" comes June's worried voice as he marches towards me and supports me to stand stably.

"Nothing, just dizzy a bit. I'll sit for a while," I replied as I walked towards the bench Wayo sat a while ago because I can't spot my friend anywhere near the training area.

Upon reaching the table where I spotted him a while ago, I just sat there and try to relax. I can feel my head pulsate in pain. So, I just laid my head on the cold table and rested for a while. My head was hazy for an unknown reason. But I'm guessing it's due to sudden blood flow.

I noticed someone is sharing the table with me. But I didn't pay any attention as my headache is getting worst. That person noticed my weird behavior as I was sitting in front of him.

"You ok?" asked that person, and I recognize that voice.

The senior sitting at the same table with me is P'Kit.

He is a friend of P'Forth and the friend of my best friend's current crush.

I get to know about them due to Wayo.

"Hmm. I'm good, P'Kit," I replied without looking at him. It's because I didn't dare to lift my head from the table. In my current condition, the world might spin for me now.

"Well, you don't look good to me. Come here, let me take a look," said P'Kit as he took a seat beside me and try to check my pulse rate, whether it's too high or low.

"I think it's better if you lay down for a while. Put your head in a higher position," instructed P'Kit after checking my pulse and also my pupil movement. The lights are too bright, and the sound is too loud. Guess I seriously need to sleep.

My dizziness didn't fade away, and I can't find anything to lay my head on, so the only option left was P'Kit.

"Be my pillow for a while, Phi," I said as I put my head on P'Kit's lap and closed my eyes. Surprisingly, his laps were so comfy.

I just did as advised because I don't want to faint in front of everybody. I hope that P'Kit won't be mad at me after this. He is a kind and cute senior that catch my eyes since day one. I don't want to be on bad terms with him. Soon sleepiness took over, and I slept.

Ming was peacefully taking his nap on a comfy lap, while the person the lap belongs to was having a mental breakdown. For an unknown reason, his heartbeat was getting high. Maybe it's not the usual infatuation that he thought it is. Maybe he likes this nong a little more than that.
