MY LOVE ( POND PHUWIN) ONE SHOT

PLEASE BE ME (3)

As Pond walked into "Mr. Bear and Panda's Cafe" after a prolonged absence, the familiar scent of coffee and the gentle hum of conversation enveloped him in a sense of belonging. Making his way to his usual spot, a corner booth where he had spent many quiet moments of reflection, Pond settled into the familiar surroundings.

Just as he took a moment to gather his thoughts, the sound of approaching footsteps caught his attention. Turning his head, Pond's eyes met Phuwin's as the cafe owner made his way to the scene, a warm smile lighting up his features.

"Oh, my usual customer, you've been gone for some time," Phuwin remarked as he brought Pond's usual order to the table. "Quite busy with work these days. By the way, who's handling the counter?"

"Don't worry, my friend is handling it for me. I'm taking a little break,"

He glanced over to see Phuwin's friend behind the counter. "Please call me Pond, or if you still want me to be your 'usual customer'."Pond replied sarcasticly

A genuine smile played on Phuwin's lips as he introduced himself, "I'm Phuwin, the owner of this cafe. It's nice to meet you, Pond." He extended his hand for a handshake, which Pond accepted, noticing the softness of Phuwin's hand.

"Can I get you anything else?" Phuwin offered, to which Pond replied, "I'm good with my drink, thank you."

Their hands then went back to it's usual places and Phuwin broke the silence

Phuwin persisted, "Oh, come on, I made new pastries today, but I haven't put them on the counter yet. Mind if you taste them?" Pond's face lit up with curiosity, and he eagerly agreed, "Sure."

Phuwin excused himself to the kitchen area to fetch the pastries, and Pond watched attentively, appreciating the care and effort that Phuwin put into his offerings until Phuwin disappeared behind the door. After a short while, Phuwin emerged from the kitchen with the freshly baked pastries, ready to continue their interaction and further conversation.
