Dala and Souk love each other very much. They hang out with each other a lot. Every day, after class, Souk walks to the Faculty of Economics and picks Dala up. Then they go to the canteen, where they chat until about 6.00 pm. Souk then drops Dala home on his motorbike. Sometimes, they stop at a small noodle shop near That Luang for an early dinner. Dala jokes that she has two loves: Souk and the pho in this little restaurant. At weekends they stroll along the Mekong and when it gets dark, they hold hands. At about 8.00 pm they have dinner at their favourite restaurant in Khemkong.
