When Mae announced the engagement people lost it.

In no time, hundreds if not thousands tweets were already posted.

The Parama twins engaged to Andrew and Lita?

Empicca, Ruangwiwat and Parama?

They're all perfect for eachother.

"Mae!" Thyme went towards his mother, "what did you just say? You think I'll let it happen?" he said more things, but Praepailin was least bothered, she just stood there, still.

Security grabbed him and stopped him from blabbering anymore.

Praepailin looked at Ren as did he, without further saying anything she put her hand in his jacket pocket and fetched out his car keys, she looked at him blankly while grabbing his hand.

She gave Andrew one last glance and pulled Ren towards his car.

-x-

They got in his car and Ren started driving around.

"Want to talk about it?" he asked her.

"Anything but that." she said while sighing.

"But..." Ren started but Praepailin gave him the scariest death glare that would make be terrified for their life.

-x-

"Do you have food?" Praepailin asked Ren as they entered his condo.

"Nope, let's order in?" he asked and she nodded.

Ren went to the kcf app, and ordered burger meals for both of them.

"And now we wait." he said and she nodded.

"Soooo..." Ren started.

"Can we not?" Praepailin "please." she said lowly and he nodded.

"Come here." he sat on the couch and opened up his arms.

Praepailin snickered and grabbed the remote and opened netflix.

"the gifted graduation"

"who do you think has the best potential?" Praepailin asked Ren while they were watching the second season of gifted.

"I gotta say, Pang or Namtarn." Ren told her, "Who do you think?"

"Punn? oo Claire!" she exclaimed.

*doorbell*

"I'll get it." Ren told her.

"Sawasdee kha, here's your order kha." the delivery person told him.

Praepailin stood up and started getting plates when she saw who was giving Ren the order.

Ren seemed to notice who it was as well.

"Aum?" Praepailin asked her.

She heard the girl gasp. Praepailin went towards the door.

"It's been a while..." Praepailin smiled awkwardly, "You remember Ren?" she pointed towards Ren who held the same awkward smile that Praepailin did.

"Yeah." Aum said blandly.

"How have you been?" Praepailin asked.

"Listen Prae... I would love to talk and catch up, but I have three more deliveries." Aum answered lowly.

"Um, yeah okay." and with that Ren closed the door.

"Wow" whispered Praepailin.

"She still mad." Ren answered.

"Technically MJ didn't lie to her. He just... didn't tell her the truth..." Praepailin said and Ren shrugged.

"Should we tell MJ?" Praepailin asked Ren.

"She's mad... but I think we should." he nodded and Praepailin reciprocated his action.

"Let's ruin his day tomorrow." and with that they sat and ate together.

-x-

"Want to talk now?" Ren suggested for the 753890th time in three hours.

"No, Pang and Wave are fighting! let me watch." She waved him off.

Ren sighed and paused the tv, "Ai bpen hia liya mung wa?" she cussed.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" he asked her, she just shrugged, "Prae," he said softly, "I have known you more than half of your life, you and I know each other more than anyone else. So just stop stalling and tell me what this head of yours is thinking?" he said while flicking her forehead.

"Ai sutt." she rubbed her forehead, "I hate you, for knowing me so well." she mumbled.

"So, spill it." he said.

"I don't know where to start." she looked down.

"The engagement, go"

"Bossy" she mumbled.

"I heard that!" Ren smiled softly.

"What is even Mae thinking? Why is she doing this? To me, I can understand I guess... But Thyme? Just why? He was actually happy. Why do we never get to be happy. I'm really tired."

"There, let it out." he held her hand.

"Aren't you tired? Ren seriously, how aren't you tired of listening to my shitty life." Praepailin huffed.

"I can't ever get tired, you can even annoy me to death... which you already do, but that will never stop me from loving you." he laughed.

"See" she took a pillow and hit him, "you ruined the moment, I don't annoy you!" she pouted and fixed her glasses.

"Sure you don't" he said, voice laced with sarcasm.

"I don't get it, when life gets better some weird shit like this always happens! WHYYY??" she screamed into the pillow.

Ren rubbed her back, "Shia! I didn't tell anyone where I was!"

"I told the guys, don't worry." He smiled.

"What did I do to deserve you Khun Aira." She smiled at him.

"I know right!" he smiled at her, she rolled her eyes and put her head on his shoulder and snatched her remote.

"Now let's see who anti gifted is!" she giggled.

He shook his head at his faen with awe and kissed her forehead.

"I think it's Korn." Ren said.

Praepailin gasped loudly, "how dare you! My baby Fiat would never do that!"

"Sure he can, just wait and and watch."

*30 mins later.*

"I hate you so much." Praepailin mumbled against Ren's chest.

"No you don't." He laughed and she could feel vibrations against his chest.

"No, I don't."

-x-

Both Ren and Praepailin had ended up falling asleep on the couch, cuddling. Praepailin had felt so much better after this. She wished she could stay with him in the couch cuddling forever.

She looked at the love of her life, lying next to her. She could hear his light snoring. He looked absolutely adorable in his sleep. She moved pieces of his hair away from his face. She smiled at the sight of him.

"ok i am whipped." she thought.

She looked at him with awe and slowly moved his hand which were softly gripped on her and replaced her body with a pillow.

She tiptoed towards his bedroom and decided to call her brother to check up on him.

"How's Thyme?" Ren asked her sleepily.

"How did you get up?" Praepailin asked him.

"You think you can replace my faen with a pillow and I wouldn't notice?" he smirked.

Praepailin chuckled, "gu khor thoad for waking you up, I needed to know how Thyme was doing." she said and jumped back on the couch with him.

"I know."

"And to answer your question, he really seems to think he can stop his mae." she answered.

"Do you think we can?"

"I really want to believe it. I hope we can. It is going to be a lot of work. But I believe in us." she smiled and he gladly returned the gesture.

"This couch is so comfy." sighed Ren and Praepailin sighed too.

"Fandee na." mumbled Ren. (sweet dreams)

"Fandee."

And they both drifted back to sleep.

-x-

"You guys take advantage of being rich." Praepailin told Kavin, Ren and MJ.

"Do you want to use the stairs instead?" Kavin asked her.

"Just press the button." Praepailin sighed in defeat.

"Just what I thought." MJ said and flicked her forehead.

"That hurt ai sutt!" she rubbed her forehead, "what kind of a faen are you? are you just gonna let him abuse me?" she joked.

"Harsh." MJ rolled his eyes while Praepailin chuckled.

"No, I'll do this." and with that Ren flicked her forehead... and in no time everyone started doing that to eachother.

"We are really childish." Praepailin chuckled while holding her forehead which was in pain.

"Agreed." said MJ, Ren and Kavin in unison.

When they finally reached the floor, the first thing they saw was Thyme in the ground groaning in pain, holding his no- no area.

"Shia." MJ said.

"Judging from his posture, he was definitely kicked in the balls." Kavin added.

"What did you do now Ai Thyme?" Praepailin asked her brother.

"Talk later." He said.

(ik ren wasn't in this scene, idk where he was so i just added him lmao)

"I'm gonna find N'Gorya." Praepailin said and Kavin nodded.

-x-

When Praepailin was looking around for Gorya, she ran into a teacher and a guard who asked her if they saw a strange girl running around, Praepailin shook her head.

She saw Gorya standing suspiciously in front of the tech room so she went towards her to bring her out of her thoughts.

"Nong?" she called out, Gorya turned towards her, but instead of answering Gorya grabbed Praepailin's hand and dragged her inside the classroom.

"What the heck?" Praepailin said before Gorya could shush her.

"Lita?" Praepailin asked when she saw her old friend hiding. "You're the strange girl?"

Lita smiled and nodded.

*Pa and Ink lmaoooo*

"Why are we hiding her?" Praepailin asked Gorya, "what are you even doing here?"

"Thankyou for helping me" Lita said, her words mainly directed to Gorya.

"Mai pen rai." Gorya answered while her and Praepailin sat down with Lita.

"You didn't have to sneak in, you could have just told them you were Thyme's fiancee." Gorya told Lita, and Praepailin made a sad face.

"If I did that, it would be a million times complicated, and I'm not here for Thyme. I'm here to see you." she answered.

"Huh?" Gorya said.

"I feel the love, mung." Praepailin mumbled.

"I missed you too." Lita smiled at her and Praepailin smiled back.

"You two knew each other before?" Gorya asked.

"Yeah, we used to play together when we were little." Lita answered.

"Last night, I ruined your dress. I am sorry! I couldn't find the exact dress... But I got this instead." Lita handed Gorya a dress. "Try it on and see if you like it."

"No, my dress was just..."

Lita stopped her, "Please take it, na! na, na!" and she went on saying stuff about the dress, while Praepailin was making sure that they don't get caught.

"Nice, the introductions are over, but as sweet as it was we will get caught so keep it down!" Praepailin whisper yelled.

"I have to go, I have to go to an event with that jerk." Lita complained.

"Hey! that jerk is my brother and only I can call him a jerk!" Praepailin told Lita.

"Oi, lollen na!" (I'm kidding) Lita told Praepailin while making her way out.

"Don't you have to go with us?" Lita asked Praepailin which made Praepailin sigh in frustration "Not really, me and Andrew cancelled. He has to do something."

Just in time Praepailin's phone pinged and saw a text from Kavin.

where are you?

I'm hungry.

"I gotta go, my friend is waiting for me." she said and escaped.

As soon as she got out she called Andrew.

Praepailin was munching on her burger with Kavin in mcd, "Should I ask out N' Kanning for you?" Praepailin asked while eating.

"You gross human, swallow first."

"Well, should I?" she said again.

"No, I don't want her to be with me." He answered.

"It's not I don't want to be with her, it's I don't want her to be with me this time." Praepailin nodded.

"What? what's the difference?" Kavin asked her.

"Do you still have feelings for your Voldemort?"

"Can we not bring up Mona? and why is everyone voldemort?"

"Everyone has their Voldemort's, and no tell me... do you still like her?"

"I don't but it..."

"Hurts?" she asks and he nods.

"I know you like N'Kanning, what's the worst thing that can happen if you actually tell her that? I know you don't care about your bad boy image thing."

"She's a very nice person. I don't want to..."

"Hey," Praepailin squeezed Kavin's hand, "You two are so cute you know?" she tried lightning up the mood.

"I don't do relationships." he said.

"I know... but Kanning is not a one night stand and you don't want her to be either. Think about it okay?" she said and he nodded.

Kavin's eyes shifted to the tv, the news started playing and it said, "The stocks plummet to a record low. That coincides with a rumor yesterday which worried many investors about Billionaire Pakorn's health issues."

"turn up the volume" Praepailin told one of the people working there.

"As you know, Pakorn is Thailand's number one businessman, the owner of the TN empire which connects to several major businesses in the country. 0Of course the news about his condition affects the lives of many Thai's..."

"This is so sus." Praepailin said and Kavin nodded.

-x-

It was the next day and Ren was peacefully sleeping in his bed, but then as expected Thyme the peace destroyer made an appearance.

"Ren! Ai Ren!" he screamed Ren's name 653478290 more times, but he still didn't wake up... so Thyme did the next best thing.

He jumped on him and shook him vigorously.

"Ren! wake up!!!! I have something to tell you." Thyme screamed as he got him to sit up.

"Gorya made cookies in the shape of my face!" Thyme said happily.

Ren was too sleepy to even listen to him.

Thyme was going on and on about those cookies but stopped when he saw Ren biting into it.

"Ai Ren spit it out!" Thyme screamed and Ren fell back in his bed.

"Ai Ren! spit out my cookie." He started choking him.

"Can't I sleep peacefully for one night!!!" Praepailin groaned loudly as she made her way from the guest room to Ren room.

"Why are you trying to kill my faen?" she said lazily.

"He ate my cookie!!!"

"This is way to early for this." she said as she seperated Thyme and Ren and laid on Ren's bed.

"Are those Thyme cookies?" Praepailin asked.

"Gorya made them and he won't let anyone eat it" Ren said when he finally woke up.

After a few minutes all three of them sat and Ren brought a cup of tea for himself.

"You came to see me so early in the morning just to show my the cookies?" Ren asked Thyme.

"No, I was in the neighbourhood so I thought I'd stop by." Thyme said and Praepailin laid on Thyme shoulder.

"So you heard?" Ren asked as he pointed towards the newspaper, asking about the billionaire.

Thyme just nodded, "So what are you going to do?" Ren asked.

"We'll be very busy." motioning him and Praepailin, "I'll go back and stay at my place for a while." he finished and Ren nodded.

"Guess who's finally going to be involved in business." she pointed her two thumbs at herself, "Me" she chuckled dryly.

"Seriously?" Ren asked happily.

"Even if mae doesn't like it, it's not like she has a choice." mumbled Praepailin and the boys nodded.

"And about Lita?"

"That girl is a pain." Thyme answered Ren, "but don't worry, I have a way to handle her." Thyme smirked.

"That plan is so not gonna work!" said Praepailin, "why don't you just tell her that you love N'Gorya?"

"My plan will work!" Thyme said which made Praepailin and Ren groan.

Praepailin and Thyme were instructed to walk to the funeral with Andrew and Lita... The formality of the engagement.

All four of them wai'ed elders coming towards them with a sad smile.

They all awkwardly answered the questions about their relationship... Praepailin couldn't wait to get out of there and those heels were killing her just like Lita.

Thyme took a notice of Lita wobbly nature and asked all four of them to be excussed.

They went back and sat with the boys, Praepailin huffed as she sat next to Kavin and took of those evil heals.

"What's up, my lady?" MJ teased Lita, "Are you unwell?" he pointed at her bruised feet, "Get some rest if you need to." MJ said sarcastically.

"Be nice!" Praepailin warned.

"It's been a long time since I wore high heels, koon chai." (your grace) Lita answered back sarcastically, "So my feet hurt."

Both Kavin and MJ stepped back for a second, this also caught Kavin's Por Mae's attention.

"Want to see?" Lita asked as she opened her shoe.

Thyme, Praepailin and Andrew had amusing faces.

"Por khap, I think we should go see Ren's por!" Kavin asked while backing away from Lita.

Kavin and MJ stood up and started walking with Kavin's parents.

"Let me come!" Praepailin screamed and went behind them.

"Phom khux Andrew." Andrew introduced himself to Lita.

"Lita." she smiled, "So you are future Mr. Praepailin." she joked.

"Bleh." he gagged.

"Hey! that's my sister! only I can call her Bleh!" Thyme said.

"You two are so alike." Lita laughed.

Andrew's phone rang and he noticed his father was calling him, "I gotta take this." he pointed at his phone and left

-x-

(Ren's screen time in the show just decreases now:( time for more Ren and Prae<3 haha)

After Ren's chat with Gorya, he left to look for
