When Worlds Collide (Taynew)

episode ✍️ 6

The next day, everyone went to the hotel lobby for breakfast. Once again, New noticed Tay. This time, he didn't approach Tay but instead said to Arm, "P'Arm, that guy from Thailand is also staying there. The other day, he fought with some college guy who was constantly harassing  girl. Can I go talk to him?"

Arm looked at Jake, who immediately put his head down. "You didn’t tell me that before. Did something else happen?" Arm asked, suspiciously.

New quickly responded, "Don’t look at him like that. I just told him not to say anything to you."

Arm sighed, "Now you’re trying to hide things from me?"

New shook his head, "I’m not hiding anything. I just didn’t want everyone to worry."

Arm gave a resigned nod, "Okay, no need to talk further. So this is the guy who fought all of them alone?"

New nodded again.

Arm glanced over, "He seems strange to me. I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before."

New chuckled, "You think everyone is strange. Can I go?"

Arm sighed, "I’m coming with you to see who this guy is." New didn’t argue further; he knew his P wouldn't let him go alone.

They approached Tay, and New greeted him with a cheerful, "Hi." Tay looked at him with his usual dark expression but didn’t say a word.

Off, who was sitting beside Tay, responded, "Hello."

Arm interjected, "Did he talk to you? Why are you answering?"

Off mumbled, "So rude…"

New nudged Arm, "P, can you stop talking like that? Just sit." Arm reluctantly sat down while New smiled at Off and said, "Hi. Did you guys come here for vacation too?"

Off nodded, "Yes, we did."

New asked, "What’s your name?"

Off replied, "My name is Off, and my boss’s name is Tay."

Arm added, "Tay what?"

Off responded, "Tay Tawan Vihokratana."

Arm’s eyes lit up with recognition, "Oh, right! I remember. You have some business in Bangkok."

Off nodded again.

Arm asked, "Can’t he talk or what? Why are you answering for him?"

Off went silent, and Tay finally spoke, "I don’t think it’s necessary to answer my private matters." His voice was cold.

Arm replied, "I don’t want to hear your private matters either. I just know that some of your companies have deals with mine. I just recognized the owner’s name but didn’t see the face. That’s why I asked. New, let's go. I don’t think this guy is interested in talking."

Tay said, "Yes, I am the owner."

New’s eyes brightened, "P, now you’ve found your business dealer here. That means you know him too. So let’s go together to the mountain for sightseeing."

Arm retorted, "I don’t know him. I just know his company."

New persisted, "It’s the same thing."

Arm shook his head, "No, it’s not."

Tay cut in, "Who said I want to go anyway? I have much more important work to do than go with you guys."

New smiled warmly, "It will be fun with more people around."

Tay replied bluntly, "You’re not alone. You have many people around you."

New nodded, "I have many friends, but it’s still good to have more."
