Early morning, sun shine the room with all of its brilliance. The doctor in bed scratches the annoying nose.
It reddens and kept on bugging him. Out of frustration he opens his eyes and saw a small nurse near his bed. He immediately sprang up of surprise.
He look around and saw Mole kneeling on the side of the bed, holding a small thin bristle from a brush.
He noticed that he's naked and covered by the top sheet of the bed.
"What's with that look?" Mole asked out of curiosity. "What happened last night? did we do it?" Phun asked worriedly as he cover his muscular body.
"You don't know what happened?" Mole asked again, unsure of the doctor's mind. "No, Did I do good in bed?" He teased. He noticed that Mole was wearing a long loosed white sleeves with loosed pajamas.
"Don't be stupid, you were drunk. You cry and did some tantrums then you fell asleep just like a spoiled brat." Mole explained. He stood up and opened his closet as he searches for a better clothing for the doctor.
"Why am I naked then?"
"You were naked because you threw up. I tried to help you out but you said that it's hot so I let you" Mole explained as he searches on his wardrobe.
"Are you sure we did not do anything than that?"
"YES!" Mole annoyedly replied.
"Tsk! You should have at very least take advantage of me while you still can." The doctor whispered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing!"
"Here try this on" Mole threw shirts and pants to the bed where the doctor was sitting.
"Even a kiss? We didn't do that?"
"Not a chance, those clothes are big for me. You can wear those." Mole explained. The doctor sighed as the nurse left the bed room.
Phun wore the clothes and it fits him. He looked at the mirror and saw that it looks good on him. He smelled the scent of Mole's clothes and it was sweet.
As he stare at the bright, well designed and cleaned room of the nurse, he was having a warm feeling on his heart. It was comforting for him and peaceful.
"COME OUT NOW! THE FOOD ISREADY!" Mole shouted.
Phun smelled an aroma, as he opened the door, he saw Mole wearing an apron. He looks seductively attractive. He doesn't look like a formal ironed nurse.
"What's with the smell? I'm getting hungry" Phun said.
"We have bacons, hotdogs, eggs, salad, rice and bread."
Mole was stirring a hot soup on the kitchen as the doctor sat on the table ready to munch. Phun noticed that Mole was making something out of the breakfast menu.
"What's that?"
"this is a sour soup, it is good for you. for your hang over. In the Philippines , we called it as 'sinigang'"
"sound delicious!"
"it is!"
Mole took a bowl full and placed it at the center of the table. Then he grabbed another bowl full of 'sinigang' and covered the container.
"What is that for?"
"For the neighbors, they like it too."
"I want to come with you!"
"Ok then"
Outside the apartment, Mole rang a doorbell near by. A family happily opened the door.
"Hi! Mole, what brought you here?"
"I jus want to give you this"
Phun gave the hot container full of 'sinigang'
"Oh! Thank you! the kids will love it"
"You two look cute together. I'm happy you have this handsome fella here. You won't be alone anymore. I hope that you guys stay together!"
Mole was feeling awkward while Phun smiled all the way. "Oh no I'm sorry. You misunderstood-"
Phun immediately grasped Mole's shoulder making him to be closer to him before Mole could finish his sentences.
"Thank you, you're so kind! I'll take care of this small chick and make sure that he's eating well" Phun smiled and dragged Mole away.
As soon as they reached Mole's apartment, he nagged on the doctor. Phun on the other hand just silently smiling as he sit down on the table and ready to munch.
"Don't you ever do that again!" Mole pissedly said. Phun grabbed a spoon full of soup and tasted Mole's cooking skills. As the soup touches his taste buds, he immediately changes.
His face transformed, showing folds and wrinkles. Mole was anticipating for such reaction. "WHAT IS THAT!" Phun asked
"Sour soup bruh, basically a broth of pork with sour fruit in it." He said, clenching his fist and shutting his mouth. Avoiding to laugh at the doctor.
Mole sipped a ton of soup and yet the doctor did not saw any other reaction. "How are you enduring this?"
"It's sour that's a fact but it is delicious as well. Can't deny" Mole explained
"Can't argue with that!" Phun said. He continue to eat and sip some of the soup. Despite of the strong sour taste, it feels warm inside his stomach.
He can't hide the urge to sip another. It's like awaken of his appetite. Mole on the other hand, simply mixing the soup with the fried rice that he made.
He feels like heaven when fried rice and 'sinigang' are mixed. "Oh! I remembered something, I'll go on the grocery so what time are you going home?"
Phun look at him and asked "Are you that willing to ditched me?"
"No~ but I have to fix my luggage cause I accepted the work in Maximillian"
"What? Where?"
"In Phuket, Remember I told you that I'll have a part time job? This is it! It's near to some spots where I can relax and my boss can't argue with my conditions."
"oh! Then can I come in the grocery with you?"
"Are you sure , you're not busy?"
"100% NOT!"
"Ok then"
After they ate breakfast, they went immediately on a nearby grocery store. People were looking at them though they don't seem to be bothered about it.
While Mole was picking a fruit, a girl approached them. "Hi!" the girl giggled and seems to be excited
"Hello?!" Mole replied hesitantly. He looked at Phun holding the grocery's cart, giving him the 'I don't know her' look
"Can I have a picture with you?" She asked. Feeling weird, Mole agreed without questions. The girl took of his picture and looked at Phun and asked the same question.
Compared to Mole, Phun verbalized his curiosity. "Why do you want our picture?"
"I never saw a real life couple looks so good as if I was watching a BL series in real life!"
The doctor smiled and allowed a picture with him. Mole on the other hand is not pleased with the girl. He glared on her and the girl was intimidated.
Phun saw how the girl frighten, he whispered on her ears and said "He's just jealous. I'm sorry that my boyfriend acting this way"
The girl apologizes on them and went away. Mole unaware of what happened, he stare at the tall doctor but Phun avoided his eyes.
As they proceed in their grocery, The cashier can't help but to stare at the handsome doctor.
"You have a cute boyfriend" the cashier was referring to Mole. Phun winked and signed the cashier to be quiet. Mole was busy putting their grocery on the table of the cashier's
After the grocery, Phun held almost all of the grocery shopping that they bought. Mole was feeling thirsty, they stopped by to a nearby Milk tea shop
As they entered the shop, a man greeted them. "Good morning! Ma'am and Sir!" Mole hearing those, he ignored the man on the door.
"Thank you" Phun responded. At the cash register, the staff greeted them again. "Good morning ma'am and sir, can I take your order?"
Mole was pissed again. He knew that they were referring to them. However, he was pissed because they misgender his pronounce or how they addresses him.
"Give me milky matcha 75% sugar and pearls"
"Can I have oolong milk tea with 50% sugar and red beans please" Phun ordered.
They paid and waited on a table for their order to be called. While waiting, Mole was feeling a bit guilt on the doctor because he was carrying a lot of the groceries.
Though he insisted of doing so, he was feeling a bit bad about it. He doesn't like to be a burden for the doctor.
"give me some of those bags"
"NO!"
"You'll get tired"
"I will never get tired of serving my lovely boyfriend"
"BOYFIRNED!?"
"Kidding, kidding, don't be mad! But seriously, Don't get tired. Let me handle this because you'll get tired later in packing your things."
"Thank you"
"Hey! If you want to thanked me at least kiss me on the lips!"
"not a chance! "
The two teased ach other as they waited for their milk teas. The people around them on the other hand was feeling a butterfly in their stomach. The two of them looked like a cute couple.
One is taller carrying a lot of baggage while the other was thin, small and looks like a weaker person. This depict and triggers the imagination of the people around them as they passed by.
Flowers and sweet and warm atmosphere were surrounding them as they interact to each other.
