When Worlds Collide (Taynew)

episode ✍️ 15

The next day, when New arrived at his college, someone tried to talk to him at the gate, but his bodyguard stopped the person. New called out, "What do you want to talk about?"

The boy replied, "I just want to give you a letter from my boss, then I'll leave."

Jake, New's bodyguard, intervened, "No, you can't give him any letter. Who knows what's inside?"

New reassured him, "It's okay, P'Jake. It's just a piece of paper."

Jake insisted, "No, young master. What if it's something you don't like to read?"

New shrugged, "If it is, I'll throw it away. Now, bring me the letter."

Jake reluctantly handed over the letter. As New took it, his friend Force approached, "You came early today. Didn't you sleep in?"

New smiled, "Mom woke me up early for praying at the temple near our home."

Force grinned, "That's why you're early. Let's go inside before we're late ."

New put the letter in his bag, "Pond didn't come today?"

Force replied, "He's probably already in the classroom. You know he's an early bird."

New nodded, and they headed to class. Elsewhere, at Tay's home, Tay received a call. He answered, "Sir, we did what you asked and caught them here."

Tay snapped, "Did I tell you to call me? If I get caught because of this call, my entire plan will be ruined. Just hang up and immediately delete the contact ID from your phone and mine. You all know me very well."

"Yes, sir," the caller responded before ending the call.

Tay mumbled to himself, "If I see you, you're going to get kicked by me for sure." He tossed the phone on his bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

At college, New suggested, "Can we go to the canteen today?"

Force looked at New curiously, "You usually don't want to go to the canteen because you don't want your P to know."

New shrugged, "I just want to eat canteen food today, that's all." He added cutely.

Pond teased, "Are you hoping to see Tay again? Is that why you want to go to the canteen?"

New denied it quickly, "No, definitely not. I said we wouldn't meet again."

Force grinned, "That means you want to see him again."

New protested, "No!"

Pond chimed in, "Whenever you say 'no' like that, it means 'yes.'"

New asked, "How do you know?"

Pond replied, "Because you do that every time. But one thing isn't clear: why do you want to see him? Did you two become good friends? He doesn't seem like he wants to talk to you or be friends with you. His deep voice sometimes scares me when he talks."

New replied, "It's not that at all. My uncle has a deep voice like him too, you know that."

Pond said, "Hmm, maybe that's why you're not scared of talking to him."

Force suggested, "Let's go to the canteen and see if we can spot him today or not."

New insisted, "I'm not going to the canteen to see him."

Force, Pond, and Unikun all nodded knowingly, "We know, New. You don't have to tell us."

New asked, "What do you know?"

Force replied, "That you're going there to see him." Force and Pond smiled, teasing New, who made a face at them.

Outside, Arm was waiting for New. New said, "P, please, can we go to the canteen? I want to eat there."
