Wedding Diary | FirstKhaotung

Episode 20

Khao's POV:

I wake up with a ringtone ringing beside my ear early in the morning. It's Mrs. Ploy telling me she has some family emergency at home, and so she can't come today. We had exchanged the numbers the other day to coordinate since she complained about not being able to reach First easily when he is working.

I offered to help and made sure she had the time she needed, but she graciously declined, stating she would take care of it herself. I jump out of the bed to convey the message to First. I walk out of the room and search all the common areas; he isn't out yet. I stand outside his room, just staring at the door. Even if it's been days since I moved in here, I've never been in his bedroom and his study. I always think it's not my place to be there for any reason.

It's awkward. Who am I? It's not right. I raise my hand to knock, but I am unable to do it. So I sigh, just resting my head on the door. The sound of water running is heard vaguely. He is awake!! I quickly run off, deciding that I would cook today and take care of the things instead of Mrs. Ploy for First! I'll tell him later about Mrs. Ploy once he is out.

I quickly get freshened up and march towards the kitchen. I scan through the refrigerator and cabinets, finding the stuff so I can decide what to make based on the available ingredients. Mrs. Ploy takes care of everything, so I don't really know what he prefers or what he hates. Finally I decide to make some finger sandwiches. There are eggs, spinach, cucumber, ham, cheese, and bread! So I can try making it with a cup of tea. I also decide to cut some fruits and pair them with cookies that Mrs. Ploy already baked a few days ago.

Then I decide to pack him a lunch as well. Some glistening pork over crispy rice cakes! simple and delicious. It's stomach filling too. I should add some stir-fried veggies and prawns on the side too. I just think it'll be a cute lunchbox. I mean, I am just helping. I wipe off that stupid smile across my face. I take out the bento box on one side of the kitchen counter.

I haven't seen First yet! Seems like he has already gone in to the study? I hum some music as I begin my work after arranging everything on the countertop.

"Umm, what are you doing?" A voice breaks my focus.

I look up to find Bright smiling and raising his eyebrows in amusement. When did he come in??

"Bright...you..."

"I entered 5 mins ago...you didn't even notice...why so oblivious, hmm?" He asks, looking around at the mess. I know it's messy now, but I've decided to clean it later.

"Nothing... I am just making breakfast..." I say, trying to arrange finger sandwiches on the three-tier tray.

"Woahhhh, Khaotung! You made all of this?? Where is Mrs. Ploy?"

"She is not coming today....so I thought—" Before I could finish my sentence, Bright leans forward, teasingly saying, "You thought you could be First's wifey?" I push him back quickly. "Nonsense!! Bright!!" He laughs loudly. "What did I do? Are you saying all this is not for First? Are you going to eat it all? you will get fat." He teases more, and I pout. "It's for everybody." I hold one sandwich in front of him. He gladly takes it and shoves it into his mouth. "Ok, so I won't tell you any tips since this is not made specially for First or anything, right? alright." He turns and marches towards the study.

"No no no...wait....tell me...." I quickly run after him and make him face me again. "Ok, ok...it's for First...help me." I can bear his teasing for now. I want to know what he has to say.

He laughs, walking towards the kitchen counter again, and scans the menu one more time. "Do you not know yet that First does NOT like ham and cheese together?" I run fast and check the ones with ham and cheese. I put them in almost all of them. "WHAT?? Who doesn't like ham and cheese??? You are messing with me, aren't you?!" I ask panicky. I remember him eating ham and definitely cheese too.
