Through their first breakfast together, Arthit found out that Kong works as a teacher at the school near their area and he decided to move out of their old place to live in an apartment near the school for convenience. The rest of their morning went well with Dae curiously listening to the two older men's stories and even having his own tales about his experiences in school.

After Kong found out about Arthit living alone and the way he's been sort of disowned by his own family, the young father always invited the engineer for breakfast and even dinner when Arthit got off work early and sometimes lunch when both have free time on weekends. Sometimes they would even go out with the kid and take him around town.

Out of this, even Dae and Arthit have formed a secial bond. Which was weird because Dae had this kind of reserved personality. What took his friends a long time to build, only took Arthit a short while. And Kongpob genuinely felt happy about that.

Arthit happily enters the convenience store with a certain young man holding his hand. Seeing the sight of the store that has blessed him with two angels, he just couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

It's been two weeks since he met the father and son and Arthit just couldn't stop feeling that somehow he found the place where he belonged.

After Kong invited him over to breakfast, Arthit felt a certain warmth in his heart bloom. The way the two boys welcomed him seemed to be something he's been missing all his life. Something his own family failed to make him feel.

"Seems like someone's in a good mood." Oak says immediately when he sees Arthit all smiles as the engineer ushered the kid inside the store.

"Dae, go on and get something for yourself. I'll talk to Uncle Oak first okay? Oh and can you also get me some pinkmilk too." Arthit says, slumping down the same level as the seven year old whom smiles and nods at him before grabbing a grocery basket and bolting into the shelves and fridge to get his drinks and snacks.

"Great to see that you're in good terms with Dae."

"Yeah."

"How about Kongpob? Where is he anyways?"

"Oh, Kong went tutoring today. He was actually supposed to leave Dae with a babysitter but I told him I can take care of the kid so he doesn't have to spend extra money." Arthit says as he watches the young boy picking between two brands of chips. He smiles when he sees the kid actually reading the nutritional facts in the back just like how his father would do when Kongpob went to buy food for them. Not like Arthit was watching him or something. He just noticed. Wink wink.

Amused, Oak smiles at the young man.

"You know you guys would make a great couple." Oak says, winking at the taller male who blushes at his comment.

"You really think so?" Arthit asks, the grocer nods at this and pretends to be fixing his station as he spoke.

"Yes. Have you asked him out yet though?"

"That's kind of the problem here, Kong has been super busy and well if we do go out like a date or something, we wouldn't have anyone to leave Dae with. Also.." Arthit says, keeping his eyes on the kid who's still busy picking out food.

"Also what?" Oak asks, one eyebrow raised as he waited for the other's answer.

"I don't even know if Kongpob thinks of me the same way. What if he only sees me as the friendly neighbour who's willing to take care of his kid while he's away? And of course Dae. How would we even explain it to him or whatever." Arthit says sighing, he picks out some candies and chocolate bars on the store counter thinking that Dae would like them and placing them in front of Oak who slides the items' codes over the scanner.
