Morning breeze makes Mean's mind fresh and content. It's almost winter that the leaves on the trees start to turn green with glint of mist. Mean rides the racing-bike and heads to the place he uses to go every morning.

After a few minutes, he gets to the place where he can see his destination  at the corner of the street. The shop with glass walls which has white roof, really looks pleasant and pretty for everyone. In that shop, various types of cakes, cookies, breads and all those beautiful foods made with flour are displayed cutely on shelf. Has the little shop owner already arrived there?  

Mean stops the bike and leans it on the wall beside the shop, and locks it when he gets in front of shop. He can now see the little owner who is arranging the fresh bread packs he has just baked on the shelf which is a little higher than his heightthat is why he needs a small chair to stand on. The little owner focuses on his bread packs too much that he doesnt see Mean coming into the shop..

Looking at the not-so-stable chair on which little owner stands, Mean is worried he might trip but the one who is standing doesnt give any care, moving packs here and there to get attractive display.

The sound of the bell welcomes Mean as soon as Mean pushes the glass door and goes into the shop.

"Shiyaa Mean, at least, give some noise before you barge into so suddenly"

Mean doesnt reply anything to Plan's too early morning curse.

"Should I reverse the board, Plan?" Mean asks while holding the "Close-Open" board hanging on the door. Plan's bakery "Le Chaleur" opens from 8:am to 8:pm. As a foodie, Plan doesnt have any interest in helping at his father company and opens a bakery once he graduated and his father didnt stop him.

"Yes. Everything is ready now. Have you already had breakfast, Mean?"

"Not yet. I was planning to have together with you. Have you already had?"

"Not yet too. Do you want to eat anything here or should I go buy you some other food?"

"Which food do I want is not important . Just take care of yourself not to fell down from that chair"

"Oiii Mean, this is just a minor thing."

Plan doesnt care about Mean's word but instead laughes it off like it's nothing. That is him Plan Rathavit whose height only is 5'9", whose body is smaller than anyone else in their squad but yet who acts like an IRONMAN the most.

"I will just have some coffee. You still have those cookies you made for me right?"

Mean sees Plan smiles because of Mean's words. It is not like Mean's Mom doesnt prepare him a good breakfast. Actually it is far better with all Thai traditional breakfast dishes unlike the light breakfast he likes to have at Plan's bakery. And as a Khoon Chai himself, Mean can go eat at any luxury restaurant for every meal. But Mean prefers the coffee made by Plan and that one special type of cookie Plan baked for Mean only. Mean doesnt even allow Plan to sell those cookies on shop.

"Immhmm But only two or three pieces left I think. Don't worry I will bake them when the shop closes"

"Its ok. But dont forget to bake more later. The box at my home is almost empty too"

"Ok. Get it sir. Wait a minute"

Although Plan says to wait for a minute, he is already preparing to make coffee in Mean's cup which Plan keeps at his bakery for this type of occasion. Mean doesnt know why but he really loves seeing Plan like this.
