Mr. Boss, His Assistant and The Intern

Chapter 32

"Ai'Time!" Nan's voice rang. Time looked around and saw his two friends occupied the furthest table in the café. Time walked towards the table smiling. He greeted both Nan and Tee. "It had been a while since we could go out like this." Nan said.

"True. Haven't see you around the campus thou." Tee said to Time who came to sit beside him. Time just smiled and patted Tee's back head. There's already drinks on the table, Tee and Nan already made orders for them and also Time.

"We're busy. I'm juggling between work and study. And you two too, so busy." Time said looking at them.

"Well, that's true. If I didn't live with Ai'Tee, I think we would only meet in the class." Nan said. Tee looked at Nan with a teasing look.

"Heeh. You're the one who is very busy with our other friend. Even we're in the class also sometimes you forgot I'm there." Tee said. Nan's eyes shifted around and he looked fidgety. Time raised his brows.

"Oh, what did I miss out? Ah, yeah. Where's Nuerna?" Time asked. Tee chuckled and teased the blushing Nan when Time said the name.

"Ai'Time, this hangout is just us three because of this guy here. He..."

"Tee!" Nan whined embarrassed. Tee giggled. Time raised his brows even more.

"Heh, talk now. I'm curious as fuck. What did I miss?" Time said impatient. Tee looked at Time before turning to Nan.

"You have to ask Nan because it seems like he didn't want me to say." Tee said. Time looked at Nan. Nan bit his lips.

"Um, don't look at me like that."

"Oh? If you want me to stop looking, start talking." Time said. Nan pursed his lips and sighed. Time tilted his head a bit, amused to see their calm collected friend looking this... confused? Time couldn't describe but Nan is cute at the moment, Time admitted silently.

"I... um, aish. I'm shy."

"Nan, don't beat around the bush. What to be shy for? It's just us." Time said tapping Nan's hand on the table. Nan exhaled but still saying nothing. Taking pity on Nan, Tee nudged Time's arm. Time turned to Tee.

"Well, seems like Nan needed more time to wrap his head. Let's talk about something else first. Let him take some time." Tee said. Time looked at Tee before nodding.

"Fine. So, next topic? How you guys doing these days? Seriously, we didn't gather for some time already. Even texting almost none... wow. How did it pass just like that? Weird." Time babbled. "Ah. Anyway, yeah. How are you guys?"

Tee smiled. "I'm fine. Well, busy as fuck. With all those writing assignments, ugh. I wonder why I take this course at times." Tee hummed. "Oh, right. Last week, I went to visit P'Yim. He said hi to you as well, saying come visit him sometimes if you have time."

"Oh, sure. I miss P'Yim too." Time said. "P'Yim is okay, right? I remember last time you said about him taking double shifts and all."

"Oh, that. It's okay already for some time now, they got the replacement doctor so P'Yim had backup already. These days, he's busy with research thou."

Time nodded. "P'Yim is very cool, really. Your brother is like a superman, you know." Tee chuckled.

"Then, how about you, Time? You're still working?"

Time nodded. "Yeah, I do. Well, same. Busy living the final year student's life and work. I'm just a bit lucky that I didn't have much reports to do but assignments sure a pain in the ass. Let's not talk about study. My work..." Time paused. Tee and Nan noticed the slight change in the expression.
