CHAPTER 19

ONE MONTH LATER

Tay was fortunate enough to have three days off, two Sundays and one Wednesday, for this past month as work poured nonstop. Gun pretty much put in a good word for him, his celebrity friends and acquaintances are now personally asking him to be their official photographer whenever they have fashion or product shoots.

However, that also means he doesn't get to spend more time with Newwiee.

New on the contrary was having a chill time at the office. A week after going back from a four days off from work, Earth assigned both New and Janhae an intern that they should each train. Lucky for him, his intern catches up well on everything he teaches which made his job easier so he can go home just in time to do his duties as a good boyfriend. Unlike Janhae's intern who consistently makes mistakes, instead of helping her finish their work early, it only earned her extended working hours.

.......

One fine day, New was walking on his way to the parking lot when another car honked and parked right in front of him. It was a Cortina White Audi Q3 that looked brand new.

"Get in", the tinted window from the passenger's seat opened and New had a closer look on who was inside. It was his bestfriend who looks so cool wearing a purple printed oversized shirt and a white-framed sunglasses.

"Shut the front door!", New shouted the moment he got inside, his widen eyes wandering around checking every detail of Gun's new car.

Gun only laughed at him, "It's Papi's, not mine."

"Still!! Damn, how can you guys afford this kind of car? At a young age!"

"Wanna be a celebrity? I can help you if you want. I'm sure you'll shine in showbiz."

New chortled, "Sure, should I send you my resume?", he knows his bestfriend very well so he knows when he talk sarcasm. Besides, Gun knows how much New doesn't like being in the limelight.

A car behind them honked and that was their cue to leave.

New was against Gun's decision when he decided to make entertainment biz his full-time career. Although he started acting young, New still believes that his bestfriend should pursue what he studied. But then he saw how happy Gun is everytime he get a call for castings. In the end, he ended up being Gun's personal assistant who goes with him everywhere and anywhere.

"I'm craving for authentic food I haven't had a proper meal for a long time look how skinny I am now", Gun pouted while showing off his arm.

"Stop being cute, I'm not your Papi. Where do you want to eat?"

Eventhough Gun's wearing sunglasses, New can see him rolling his eyes. Bestfriend's instinct.

"I miss your cooking P'New. Can you please cook for me?"

"P'New??" This kiddo, New thought. "Uh okay, okay. Let's go to the grocery first. What do you want?"

"Yayyy!", Gun screamed, his tiny hands clapping with excitement, "Uhmm, I want green curry with chicken aand stir-fried meat with basil and chili, and oh, oh I also want tom yum and som tam!"

"Okay, now I'm pressured. You cook better than me! But I'll do my best."

.........

New went straight to the kitchen after putting down his bag on the living room chair. He began taking out the groceries and rummaging all over as he prepare the utensils and ingredients he needed.
