When Worlds Collide (Taynew)

episode ✍️ 62

When New falls back into a deep sleep, Tay gently shifts him off his lap and lays him down on the pillow, covering him snugly with the blanket. Once New is settled, Tay heads to the kitchen. The maids notice him and one asks, "Sir, do you need anything?"

Tay, without responding, opens the fridge and grabs some vegetables, eggs, chicken, and noodles. The maids offer again, "Sir, we can prepare any dish for you. Just let us know." But Tay doesn’t answer, instead, he grabs a bowl and starts prepping the vegetables. The maids begin to say something else, but a sharp look from Tay silences them, and they quietly leave the kitchen.

Tay then peacefully begins cooking noodles in his own unique way. Once the dish is ready, he places the noodles into a bowl and heads back to the room. Meanwhile, New wakes up, not seeing Tay beside him. "Tar? Tar?" he calls out softly, his voice a bit weak. When Tay doesn’t respond immediately, New slowly tries to get out of bed, still calling, "Tar? Are you in the bathroom?"

Hearing New’s voice from outside, Tay calls out, "Coming!" and enters the room with the bowl in hand. New looks at him and the food, a bit confused. "Tar, why are you bringing food again? It’s not dinner time. I’m not eating again, no matter what you say."

Tay places the bowl on the side table and says calmly, "Just eat one spoonful. If you don’t like it, I won’t make you eat any more. "

New raises an eyebrow. "Promise?"

Tay nods.

"Fine. Feed me," New says, still a bit stubborn but giving in. Tay offers him a spoonful, and after New tastes it, his eyes widen a little. "This tastes good. Did mom make it?"

Tay smiles softly. "If you like it, then eat more."

New nods and continues eating while Tay feeds him. New eats most of the bowl but stops with a few spoonfuls left. "Tar, it’s too much. It tastes good, but I’m full. I can’t eat any more."

Tay smiles, content. "That’s enough. How do you feel now?"

"Much better," New replies, giving a small smile.

"Good," Tay says. "Rest some more."

New shakes his head slightly. "I’m not sleepy. I’ve been sleeping all day. Can I watch a movie?"

Tay nods. "Do whatever you like."

Meanwhile, Arm arrives home and heads towards New’s room. New’s mom sees him and says, "Arm, where are you going?"

"To check on Newwie. I haven’t talked to him all day. I want to see how he’s doing," Arm explains.

"Son, Tay has been with him the whole day, and he told me New is fine and sleeping again. You should rest and check on him tomorrow."

Arm insists, "I’m not going to disturb him. I’ll just peek in and come right back."

New’s mom sighs, smiling slightly. "You always do what you want."

Arm heads to New’s room and knocks gently so as not to wake him if he’s still asleep. New, hearing the knock, grumbles, "Tar, you said no one would come to see me today."

Tay chuckles softly. "Just pretend you’re asleep. I’ll handle it."

New frowns playfully. "I’m mad at you now," he mumbles, covering himself completely with the blanket.

Tay say "It’s unlocked."

Arm enters, noticing New fully covered under the blanket. "Is he still not feeling well? Should we take him to the hospital?" Arm asks, concerned.

"He’s just sleepy. He’s better now," Tay reassures him.

"Then why is he covered up like that?" Arm asks, raising an eyebrow.
