Growing Together

Chapter 16

Ever since they had been married, they had spent more time away from one another than they had together. Tharn had always had to spend time away from Type because his band—4SEN—was always practicing and preparing for comebacks, tours, fan meetings, radio shows, etc. After everything they had been through, Type had to be patient because this was Tharn's dream. Besides his husband had never tried to come in between his dreams or goals.

"You really couldn't have just let this be a normal day, huh?" Techno said letting the last bit of his question come out as a cooing sound since his attention was on the baby who was happily kicked against his thigh and all too contently suckling at the pacifier in his mouth.

"No, you know Tharn is back in town and the paparazzi always follows him here," Type said gently adjusting his son on his lap so he wasn't kicking Techno anymore.

"Hm," Techno hummed as he squinted his eyes at his friend as if he didn't really believe him. Sure, his friend and Tharn had always agreed on keeping their son out of the eyes of the hungry media but usually, they'd meet at a restaurant on the other side of town, where they both lived. So, for them to reserve SunRain cafe for themselves had Techno believing he was doing this as more than just a favor for P'Sun. After all, the man had helped Type a lot when Tharn was away. He was one of the few of Tharn's friends he really had gotten close to. He was close to the others, but not like he was with P'Sun. From what Techno knew, the two of them spoke often. Until Sun started dating this new kid.

Speaking of which, Techno's eyes had gone to the 'boy' walking over to them with their drinks and cake.

"I'm really sorry about this. Rain suddenly asked P'Sun to take him to school," Mork said giving them both an apologetic smile as he placed a caramel macchiato along with a rainbow cake with vanilla icing and rainbow sprinkles in front of Techno, before moving to carefully place the vanilla bean latte and strawberry cheesecake at a safe distance from the baby's reach within Type's lap. He even had brought a small bowl of soft crackers for the baby that was safe for him to eat.

"Hey, Nong, we didn't order these," Type said motioning to the cakes and baby snacks. He had a small frown on his face when Techno had elbowed him gently to shut up. After all his motto was 'never say no to free food'.

"It's on the house," Mork said giving him a friendly smile, "You're P'Sun's friends so please enjoy it. If there is anything else I can get you, let me know. Otherwise, P'Sun should be back shortly," He said bowing his head slightly before he was walking back to the counter where P'Kitty was now at, with her head peeking over to him with curiosity.

"I didn't know P'Sun knew P'Type," Kitty whispered to Mork as she tied the knot on her apron.

"You know them?" Mork asked her as he set the wooden tray down so he could begin to prep things for P'Sun for later in the day when they opened the cafe back up.

"Who doesn't? That's P'Tharn's wife." She said with this excited little tone to her voice but seeing the confusion in Mork's eyes had her frowning, "Mork, how can you not know who Tharn is?" She asked before she was pulling her phone out to show him the pictures of the hottest boy group 4SEN.

When he looked at it that's when he had let out a knowing 'oh', "The girls in our class are crazy about them," Mork said remembering all those times he's heard the girls huddle and talk about the group or trading photo cards and merch.

"I'm not surprised, they are so popular," Kitty said a little too cheerful that it made Mork realize that she was a fan of 4SEN as well. "This is P'Tharn, P'Type's husband," Kitty said pulling up a picture of the man which made Mork let out a small 'wow'. "Ey, I saw that," Kitty teased nudging him playfully.
