New went to the park earlier than the meet up time. Since he arrived in Baguio, it's only his second time to go out of the house. He's been to Baguio a couple of times in the past and he really loved this city. It can get congested with tourists during peak seasons but still, he enjoyed the place every time he is here for a short vacation. He decided to stroll around the park. He loved seeing families on their picnic mats, fathers running after with their toddlers, senior citizens doing tai chi, and teenagers enjoying their weekends. He did not mind seeing lovers in their sweet zones too. He sat on an empty picnic table, then his thoughts somewhat wandered. Can I really make it here? How do you start New? How do we do this universe? His mind started to be bombarded with sudden questions, until a message alert came in.
Ei Coach New, I'm on my way now. Will probably be there in 30 minutes. Hmmm, by the way, sorry to say this, but how do I know it's you? I honestly don't remember your face. Sorry., Tay texted, feeling ridiculous.
New laughed as he read the message. Oh that means you didn't try to check me on social media. Oh wait, I remember now, the boys told me you don't have any social media account. He was laughing again. Hmmm, I'm at one of the picnic tables near the bike rental area. And I am wearing a hoodie.
Coach New, this is Baguio. Uhmm, hoodies can be a common wear. Can you be more specific please.
Don't worry, you'll know it's me right away. Just look for a guy wearing a maroon hoodie. A guy yes, but a beautiful guy, New smiles cheekily.
Tay can't contain his laugh, a beautiful guy, he reads. Let's see that, he texted back.
Tay went straight to the area. A few meters away he saw a guy nibbling a buttered corn cobb... a beautiful guy. Yes he is, Tay whispered, with a smile.
Are you the beautiful guy? New turned his head to the direction of the voice then smiled when he saw the man in front of him. Hello PTay. See it was easy to tell it's me right? I'm New, nice to finally meet you, extending his arm for a handshake.
Drop the P, our age doesn't seem to be far apart, Tay accepted the handshake. Only if you drop calling me Coach too. They both realized they were still with their handshakes, so they immediately let go of each other's hand.
Tay sat on the opposite side of the table. You should have said, you're wearing a Gryffindor hoodie. It would be easier to figure out.
Well, I didn't know that you are a wizard, not until I see you in those yellow Hufflepuff hoodies yourself. They both started laughing as they realized they were both Harry Potter fans.
But really, the beautiful guy description worked too right?, New asked with a grin. Hmmm, not bad. Fair enough, Tay nodded. Then they laughed again.
