As Pond's morning unfolded, his mind revisited the moments he had shared with Phuwin at "Mr. Bear and Panda's Cafe," each memory etching a vivid image in his thoughts. The warmth of Phuwin's smile, the genuine conversations they had exchanged, and the sense of belonging that had enveloped him in Phuwin's presence played like a familiar movie in Pond's mind. Every detail, from the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee to the soft glow of the cafe's lighting, was etched in his memory like a painting that captured the essence of his most cherished moments.

By noon, a subtle unease settled in Pond's heart as he ventured back to the cafe, only to find Phuwin's absence casting a shadow over the vibrant space. Pond's friends, Joong and Dunk, joined him, their energy mirroring his anticipation, unaware of the missing piece that left the cafe feeling incomplete. The trio's usual banter and laughter, which usually filled the air with joviality, now seemed subdued against the backdrop of Phuwin's absence, a poignant reminder of the impact the cafe's owner had on their shared experiences.

Pond, observing the empty space where Phuwin usually stood, couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. The absence of Phuwin, who had become a guiding light in the cafe's warm embrace, left a void in Pond's heart that echoed with the echoes of their conversations and the laughter that had filled the space.

Joong, known for his vibrant energy and contagious enthusiasm, noticed the change in Pond's demeanor and asked, "Pond, what's on your mind today? You seem lost in thought."

Dunk, the astute observer with a knack for picking up on subtle cues, added, "Yes, you're usually the one leading the charge when we come here. Is something weighing on you?"

Pond, with a wistful look in his eyes, opened up to his friends, "I was looking forward to introducing you both to Phuwin, the owner of this cafe. His presence adds a special touch to this place, a sense of warmth and welcome that's hard to describe. But it seems he's not here today."

Joong and Dunk, now understanding the significance of Phuwin's absence, shared a moment of reflection with Pond, expressing their empathy for the void that lingered in the cafe's familiar space. Despite the absence of the cafe's heart and soul, the trio found solace in each other's company, the bond of friendship and shared moments creating a sense of unity and support in the midst of the cafe's quietude.

As they settled into their usual spot, the gentle hum of the cafe wrapped around them like a comforting blanket, a reminder of the unspoken connections and cherished memories they had forged in this sacred space. The echoes of shared laughter and unspoken understanding filled the air, a testament to the enduring strength of their friendship and the resilience that came from weathering moments of absence and still finding solace in each other's presence.

As Joong, Dunk, and Pond spent the afternoon at the cafe, their laughter and conversations gradually lifted Pond's spirits, easing the disappointment of Phuwin's absence. The trio savored the moments of camaraderie and warmth, finding solace in each other's company as they reveled in the comforting ambiance of "Mr. Bear and Panda's Cafe."

As they bid farewell and made their way home, the tinge of disappointment lingered in Pond's heart, a shadow cast by the absence of Phuwin, whose presence had become a source of light in the depths of the bustling city. The quiet of the evening enveloped Pond as he prepared to rest, the memory of Phuwin's warm smile and the shared moments at the cafe haunting his thoughts like a gentle whisper in the night.

Just as Pond's eyes began to grow heavy with the promise of sleep, a sudden ringing pierced the tranquility of his room. Startled, he reached for his phone and saw Winny's name flashing on the screen. Curious and intrigued, Pond answered the call, his voice laced with anticipation.

Winny: "Hello, Pond! I hope I'm not disturbing you. I wanted to extend an invitation to you and your parents for a dinner tomorrow. I've requested a day off to spend time with my boyfriend, and I thought it would be wonderful for all of us to get together."

Pond, taken aback by the unexpected invitation, replied, "Winny, that sounds delightful. Thank you for including us. Please send us the location, and we'll gladly join you for dinner tomorrow."

After exchanging pleasantries and bidding Winny goodbye, Pond's heart weighed heavy with a sense of unease. The prospect of meeting Winny's boyfriend stirred up conflicting emotions within Pond, a sense of discomfort clouding his anticipation for the upcoming dinner. Despite the polite acceptance of the invitation, Pond couldn't shake the feeling of being out of place, as if something didn't quite sit right in his heart.
