Mister Sunshine

Perfect Assistant

Can let out a sigh as he settled into the chair behind his desk, flicking on his computer. His gaze drifted towards the expansive window, peering into his boss's office, where his secret love resided. He couldn't help but wonder what the older man would think if he discovered that Can had rearranged his own workspace just to have the perfect view of Tin's office. It might be considered a bit creepy, but Can couldn't resist the opportunity to steal glances at Tin whenever possible. Tin hadn't seemed to notice the change, but Can had come up with a clever excuse about needing better lighting.

As he typed his password on the keyboard, a sense of relief washed over him. The group scheduled for the meeting had unexpectedly informed him about their delay, giving him the opportunity to reschedule Tin's entire day.

The computer hummed to life, drawing his attention back to the office where Tin was busily preparing for the upcoming meeting in the conference room. He couldn't help but admire Tin's presence - the sexiest judge in Japan, he mused with a smile reserved for moments like these. Tin's body was lean and agile, his suit fitting him like a glove as he moved with purpose. Despite the distraction, he knew he had to focus on setting up for the meeting and getting ready to take notes. Just as he was about to growl in frustration, the phone buzzed, forcing him to tear his gaze away from Tin and answer the call.

"Good morning, you've reached Tin Medthanan's office. This is Can Kirakorn speaking," he greeted in a polished manner, swiftly grabbing a notepad and pen. While the man on the other end hummed along, Can attentively jotted down the necessary information. "Rest assured, I'll ensure that Atty. Medthanan reaches out to you promptly. Have a wonderful day!"

"Can...Is there anything wrong?" Tin inquired from the entrance, and Can responded by shaking his head while flashing a grin. He swiftly rose from his seat, peeled off the fresh note from the notepad, and playfully attached it to the side of his computer screen. Biting his lower lip, he prepared to answer Tin's question.

"No, you just have to make another phone call..."

"Okay..." Tin let out a contemplative hum while adjusting his tie, making it appear even more disheveled. Can smiled affectionately and rushed over to fix the knot and collar that had gotten out of place. The moment felt oddly intimate, causing Can to blush when he realized how close they were. Stepping back, he nervously chewed on his lip and attempted to straighten out his own suit while murmuring softly.

"Sorry, sir...I'll go and set up the conference room and prepare coffee..."

"You really are the perfect assistant, Can, I don't know how Lay found you but... I'm glad she did and I don't know what I would do without you"

"Rest assured, you'll never have to question my dedication. I am committed to being the most exceptional assistant I can be for you." Can genuinely meant every word he said. Even if he hadn't idolized Tin and Tee since childhood, the past few months spent with them would have been sufficient to convince him that Tin was undoubtedly the most remarkable individual in the world, at least from his perspective. It would be painful for Can when Tin eventually moved on from his spouse, but Can would remain steadfast. "I'll get the conference room ready..."

"Thank-you..."

Tin couldn't help but feel a tug at the corners of his mouth as he glanced away from his computer to catch Can's eye. The room had been rearranged to Can's liking, with more light flooding in, but Tin found it distracting. It was hard to focus when he could easily look up and see Can hard at work. The sunlight streaming in cast a surreal glow around Can, making his hair gleam like polished jet. His lips were pressed together in concentration as he diligently typed up the meeting's footnotes. Can must have sensed Tin's gaze on him, because he suddenly looked up with a furrowed brow. Tin felt a surge of panic until Can simply raised his cup to his lips, silently mouthing something.

"Coffee?"

"Yes sir..." With a swift motion, Can rose to his feet and hurried towards the coffee pot. Every movement he made was graceful and effortless, showcasing his skilled hand as he prepared the aromatic brew. A faint, almost ethereal smile graced his lips before he blinked rapidly, refocusing his attention on the stack of case files that now lay before him. It was a challenging case, one that stirred a longing within him to be the one standing before the jury. However, his role had shifted, and he had to accept that his days of courtroom battles were now behind him.

As the Judge, his current responsibility entailed interpreting the law, evaluating the evidence put forth, and overseeing the proceedings in the courtroom. Undoubtedly, the judges played a crucial role as unbiased decision-makers in their quest for justice. However, maintaining impartiality could be challenging, especially when dealing with cases concerning children, which were undeniably the most heart-wrenching.

"Your coffee, sir..." Tin swiftly turned off his computer screen, determined to shield the innocent Can from witnessing the man's atrocious deeds. "Is everything okay?"

"...Yes, just something that you don't need to see" Tin flashed a mischievous smile, gesturing for Can to take a seat beside him. This was a special moment, reserved only for Can. His previous assistant had always been too focused on work to indulge in such casual camaraderie. "Care to join me?"

"Five minutes...I have to finish up and go and fetch Tee..." Can glanced at his watch, indicating that he was in a hurry. However, Tin noticed that the young man had brought his own cup of coffee and was contentedly settling down within the next minute.

"What games are you going to be playing?" Tin inquired, tilting his head to the side, while he settled comfortably in his chair. Can responded with a smile, his eyes gleaming with a vibrant sparkle.

"Just some racing games and action ones..." With a voice that betrayed his youthful spirit, he responded, reminding Tin of a child.

Tin longed to join in their games, but he understood that he had more important matters to attend to. "I'm planning to take him to the games center next week," Tin thought, "and let him choose a game for himself."

"If you let me know I'll get you some money..." With a deliberate pace, he uttered his words, while Can responded with a slight shrug and a smile, cradling his coffee cup in his hands. Tin couldn't help but smile back, knowing that this simple act of domesticity with his personal assistant was unconventional yet cherished.

These moments, like waking up to Tee's playful antics, brought him immense joy. Savoring his coffee, Tin relished the precious time he had with Can before he had to depart to fetch his son.
