(Zee's POV)

Watching him eat is now my favourite thing. When we arrived at the restaurant, the look of happiness in his eyes touched my heart. His eyes sparkled when he ate and his cheeks puffed as he ate the food with gusto. I never knew I could witness something so cute.

"Phi, is it tasty?" I smiled at the boy in front of me and nodded my head.

"Yes, it's very tasty. Do you come here often?" I was curious. I wanted to know everything about him.

"This is my first time here. It's a new place that just opened and I've read good reviews about it online, so I thought we could come here together. They really have good food here, and the environment is very nice, don't you think?" I heard him ask the question, but I was too caught up on what he said. He's never been here before, which means I'm the first person he came here with. My heart was soaring.

"Phi?" I re-focused my attention on New, who was staring at me.

"Huh? Oh sorry Nu. Yes, the atmosphere here is very nice. Feels homey and chill." I replied back, and he gave me the most beautiful eye smile I'd ever seen. I looked away, willing my heart to calm down.

After we were done with the main meal, dessert was next. My heart filled with joy when I saw how happy he became when the waiter put the cake before him.

"Phi, doesn't it look beautiful," I heard the boy say, as he took his phone out and took a picture of the chocolate cake with ice-cream and strawberries on the side. His face was radiating pure joy and at that moment, I knew what real happiness was. A sigh of satisfaction erupted out of his throat and it stirred something within me.

"Take a bite Phi, this is just sublime." New was moving the fork towards me, with a piece of cake on it. Was he going to feed me? I didn't know what to do, but I opened my mouth allowing the boy to feed me the cake. This is the first time someone's ever fed me anything, and seeing the look on New's face, I knew he was going to be the only person allowed to feed me.

(End of Zee's POV)

As New was enjoying the dessert, he felt the vibration of his phone. He was torn whether to ignore the call or to keep enjoying the cake, but then when he looked at the caller ID, he dropped the fork in his hand and swiped his phone to answer the call.

"Khun New, we have an emergency. We need to go back to the mansion right away." Porche voiced out the urgency of the situation unknown to New.

"Phi Porche, what happened? Did something happen at home?" New could hear some voices in the background and knew something was up.

"Something has happened to Nu Kuea. Khun Tik has requested that you return home immediately. Sorry to cut your date short, but we need to leave right now." Porche waited for New to respond back, but the other line was silent.

"Nu, what's wrong?" Zee saw as New's face became pale and his facial expression changed. He could hear the voice from the phone, but it seemed that New couldn't hear anything. Zee took the phone from New and spoke into it.

"My apologies Khun Zee, but Khun New needs to get back home now. There has been a family emergency." Zee affirmed to Porche that it was alright and that he would personally take New back home. Zee hung up the phone and pocketed it in his jacket.

"Nu, look at me," Zee could see that New was on the verge of a breakdown. He could tell, because he could see New break out in cold sweat accompanied by labored breathing.

"Nu, we need to go now, but I need you to breathe." New looked into Zee eyes and tried to focus on his breathing. He closed his eyes and focused on Zee's touch. Zee didn't know what was happening, but what he knew was that New needed him. So he stood up, helping New and guiding him to the car.

"Phi Kinn, I'll take the car. I need you to go back to the hotel and prepare for when I return. I don't know what's happening, but something doesn't feel right." Zee gently instructed his bodyguard who bowed his head in agreement. Zee helped New into the front passenger seat of the car, and after making sure his seat belt was secured, he walked over to the driver's seat, driving them back to the Perdpiriyawong mansion.
