Under the Same Umbrella ☔ : A Tale of Love

The chapter 10: Journey of Discovery

As they embarked on the journey, Boss's demeanor was gentle and considerate.

Noeul couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by Boss's kindness, a warm sensation spreading through him as Boss opened the car door and fastened his seatbelt.

"Thanks," Noeul said softly, his voice filled with gratitude as he offered a small but sincere smile.

Boss's genuine interest in getting to know him better only added to Noeul's sense of comfort and appreciation.

"So, Noeul," Boss began, his tone gentle and inviting,
"what are your likes and dislikes?"

Noeul felt a rush of warmth at the question, touched by Boss's eagerness to learn more about him.

With a soft smile, he began to share, his words flowing freely as he opened up to Boss about his interests and preferences.

"I love dancing, Phi, It's like my escape from everything."
he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with enthusiasm.

Boss: *listening intently, a soft smile playing on his lips*
"That's amazing, Noeul. It must be so freeing."

"And football! I can't get enough of it. You play too, phi?"

Boss: *nodding* "Sometimes. But it's great to hear how passionate you are about it."

Noeul: *excitedly* "Oh, and cartoons! Pokemon and Ultraman are my absolute favorite. Have you seen ?"

Noeul mentioned that he enjoys playing Pokémon games.

Boss listened intently, nodding along as Noeul continued to express his passions.

"I sing too," Noeul added, a hint of pride in his voice.

Noeul said he's a fan of hip hop...

Noeul: *sharing* "I have one elder sister Phi, I love her so much..My sister is my biggest support. She's working so hard to help me with my education. I also work part-time to cover my expenses. Can't rely on my sister for everything, right?"

As Noeul expressed his love and respect for his sister , also opened up about his family and personal journey, Boss felt a surge of empathy and admiration for the young man beside him.

Boss: *impressed* "She sounds like an amazing sister. You're lucky to have her."

Noeul: " Yes Phi, and Every day after work, Forth or Donut accompany me to our house. But today, knowing you were dropping me off, they left early .."

Boss nodded, a hint of curiosity in his expression as Noeul continued,

"Phi, You see, we stay together in a small shared house. Forth, Donut, and I. They've been incredible-always there to help me with anything and everything, taking care of me like family."

Pausing for a moment to gather his thoughts, Noeul's voice softened,
"And it's not just them. At university, Chanya and Aya also look out for me. I'm truly blessed to have such amazing friends who adore me and genuinely care for my well-being."

As he spoke, a sense of warmth filled the room, and Noeul couldn't help but smile, grateful for the support and friendship that surrounded him.

"It's good, Noeul, that you have caring friends," the boss remarked.

"And desserts!" Noeul exclaimed with a laugh. "I have a sweet tooth, especially for jelly. Do you have a favorite sweet, phi?"

Boss: *smiling* "Not particularly, but I can understand.. It's delicious."

Noeul: *animatedly* "And horror movies! I find them so thrilling.."

Also Noeul expressed his fondness for comedy and superhero movies.
