Chapter 4 - The Eclipse

Tay (thinking)

No! No!... it can't be…

Moon (smirking)

Well, well. Guess it's just fate that meets us here!

Tay(stunned)

Why?! Why are you here?

Moon

Why? This is my home!

Xie Ruolan

Do you guys know each other?

(Tay and Moon shrieked "NO")

Xie Ruolan

Oh Ok. You two will be sharing a room, I know that you two will get along.

Moon(thinking)

(Did God hear my prayers? This is the perfect time to get along with him. This is going to be fun for sure!)

Tay(thinking)

(The perfect opportunity to get the evidence I want to prove he is guilty)

INT. In the room of Moon

Moon(unhappy)

This is my room, and you are not allowed to touch anything here

(smirked at him)

Tay

Then..Where am I going to place my stuff?!

Moon

In that small cupboard towards the left.

Tay

(Opens the cupboard, and a small rat jumped on him. Scared he fell on Moon's lap)

 

Moon(surprised)

(His heart flutters and skips a beat)

Tay

I am so sorry!

Moon

(Rushes downstairs)

Tay

What happened to him? Is he okay?

(So another cupboard on the corner, and I walked towards it. Opens it and sees a bunch of documents.What is all this?)

Xie Ruolan

Tay! It is time to celebrate Songkran. Do you want to join the celebration with us?

Tay

Yes!

Tay

It's too hot in here!

(Gets splashed by Moon in the face)

Moon

Are you hot now?

Tay

(Splashed back at him)

Moon

(Went across the street and saw a poor man begging for money. Gives 100 bhat, smiling.)

Tay

(Smiled at him warmly.Is this the person who bullies students?)

INT. Night

Moon

Let's go see the stars!

Tay

Sure!

Moon

Have you ever seen the shooting stars in the starry moonlight?

Tay

No! Have you?

Moon

Yes, once.When I was just 11.

(Thought of confessing his love for him, but waited)

Let's go back home, It's time to eat dinner.

INT. The next day

Tay

I am going outside.

Xie Ruolan

Bye Tay!

Tay

(Comes home late)

Xie Ruolan

Why are you so late?

Tay

I went out with my friends, that's why!

Xie Ruolan

Oh Ok

INT. The next day

(Tay went out again and came back at night, the same the next day, and the next day)

Xie Ruolan(thinking)

He is coming back home so late. What is he doing outside this long?

(Marched up to Moon)

Moon, tomorrow, follow Tay to where he is going.

Moon

Yes, Mom!

INT. The next day

(Tay goes outside, and Moon chases after him. Tay stopped walking, and he was in front of a volleyball court.)

Moon

(What is he doing here?)

(They were deciding the teams, but they needed a setter in their team, in the meantime. Moon raised his hand.

Tay

What! What are you doing here?

Moon

(Didn't say anything and started to play.)

(The game was intense, but towards the end their team won the gold medal)

( They went to celebrate. Moon sat beside Tay. He turned towards him and whispered...)

Why... Why are you doing this?

Tay

It's. It's to earn money.

Moon

Oh, then. I helped you win the game. So, could you grant me a wish?

Tay

What? What is it?

Moon

I'd love to go stargazing with you!

Tay

Hmm. That's your wish. Sure, why not!

INT. In the darkest night sky

(They sat on the green, lush, fine grass. The city was buzzing, but all they could see was each other amidst the crowd of people.)

Moon

There is something that I wanted to say to you for a long time.

Tay

What is it?

Moon

I do confess with heart most true, my soul doth long to call thee mine — wilt thou be the keeper of my heart, my sweet love.

Tay

 

What?

Moon

I truly like you with all my heart, and I really want you to be my boyfriend.

Tay(chuckles)

Haha, Sure.

Moon(puzzled)

Really? So, it's a yes!

(The phone rang. Moon checked who it was, and it was his mom. He took the call at once. "Come home fast, it's something urgent!" she said. They ran at once.)
