I FEEL YOU LINGER IN THE AIR
The restoration of old homes along the Ping River was done by architect Jom. He found a plywood trunk filled with vintage sketches there. They were oddly familiar, but he couldn’t place how. Jom had to rush back to Bangkok to pick up his lover, who had recently returned from studying overseas, so he didn’t have much time for those things. After being apart for a long time, he had counted the days until he would see his partner again, only to learn that he was engaged to his lover’s fiancée, a woman who seemed like a good fit for him. Jom had a car accident on the way back, troubled and confused by his lover’s decision. He could hear a deep, lovely voice saying, “Papa Jom,” as his car sank to the bottom of the river, and he could smell the wonderful scent of frangipani blossoms emanating from the midst of the freezing night.
