"The lemon grass and coriander are nicely chopped. But your red shallots are too thick, I told you to slice them thinly same with this garlic, chop them again", Yayi said while checking the ingredients Tay prepared.
Tay asked for Yayi's help in cooking a hangover soup for Newwiee. Despite of having difficulties in prepping everything that Yayi needs in cooking Khao Tom (rice soup), with great effort and patience he was able to sufficiently improve his cooking skills. Well... that's what he thinks.
"Is this enough Yay?", he asked as he finished reslicing the red shallots and garlic.
"Yes, that's better. Now, crush the ginger", Yayi ordered.
Just when he thought he's done with the ingredients, here he is crushing and grinding the ginger, "Can I add these?", he showed Yayi a handful of hot chili.
"Just put three or four pieces, it might upset your stomach if it's too spicy", Yayi removed the stems of the chili and threw them on the ceramic mortar. "Do you want to cook? I'll teach you", Yayi asked.
Tay shook his head, "No Yay, I don't wanna ruin it", he answered.
He was watching his Yayi cook Khao Tom and listens as she teaches him the process which he'll probably forget later on while Mom was also there preparing food for breakfast.
"Where's your friend? What is his name again?", she asked.
"Newwiee Yay, he's still sleeping I guess", he answered.
"That boy is handsome, and she seems to get along with Mukmuk. Does he have a girlfriend?"
"Handsome?", Tay sneered and shook his head slightly, "yea, he's surprisingly pretty close with Muk. You know how hard it is to please her."
"They look good together don't you think? Muk is getting old, it's time for her to get a boyfriend."
Tay looked at his mom and caught her secretly smiling.
"Yayi, New is not even close to Muk's type", he said as he stood behind grandma, his both hands on her shoulders, "thanks for helping me cook Yay, I'll go check on my 'friend' first."
It was only 8 in the morning, Muk and Tan are still nowhere to be found. Tay rushed upstairs but New was sleeping soundly when he entered the room. He was snoring, his left hand extended under the pillow and his mouth open. Tay can't help but make fun of his boyfriend by taking pictures of him.
New slowly opened his eyes as Tay's little giggles turned into loud ones after seeing the pictures he took.
"Heyy, did I wake you?", Tay asked.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just watching some clips from You Tube", he put away his phone, "How are you feeling?"
