Love Sea Novel Excerpt: Tongrak and Mahasamut's Home
Tongrak spent half a day looking for the perfect location, but nothing pleased him. If it wasn't difficult to access, it wasn't by the sea. He knew Mahasamut was a man who liked to sit and watch the sea, and he liked that image so much that he wanted to see it every day. So, the main criterion for this land search was that it had to be by the sea.
"Can we stop to buy some water first? I can't take it anymore. Look, I'm drenched in sweat."
Sometimes, Tongrak wanted to ask who exactly was the one used to luxury and comfort.
Tongrak sighed and looked at Palm, who put on a smile as soon as Tongrak agreed.
In the end, Palm led him to a nearby café, where he went straight to order drinks, knowing full well that Tongrak would pay.
However, Tongrak didn't immediately follow as he looked up at the building in front of him.
The building was old, but not dilapidated. On the contrary, it looked powerfully ancient. Its location by the water's edge, with the sea from the beach washing in periodically, made Tongrak's eyes sparkle. He looked up at the second-floor balcony facing the beach, which would catch the morning sunlight.
Suddenly, he could see Mahasamut sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee extended to him.
Tongrak closed his eyes, felt the sea breeze hit his face, and inhaled the clean, fresh scent of the sea.
When Tongrak opened his eyes again, he discovered... he'd found it.
This was the place.

The moment Tongrak took Mahasamut to see the house and saw the joy in his eyes, saw Mahasamut standing in the breeze on the balcony, saw the taller man talking to the locals about where to dock his boat, and saw him calculating where to set up the diving gear, Tongrak felt elated. He told himself that if he could turn back time, he'd find a new home with Mahasamut.
They'd get excited together, get tired together, get discouraged together, and be happy together.
Tongrak might still have a lot to learn, but he was sure they'd get through everything as long as this man was by his side. The one who gave him a smile in front of the brightly colored wooden house by the water's edge.
"Come on, Tongrak."
And Tongrak didn't hesitate to say, "Okay," and walked towards this man with a smile.
Tongrak realized it at that moment... that right here... that this person right now... was the home of his life.
TongrakMahasamut.
