ัที่​ปติ

A​ ​Normal​ ​Day​

 

Monday​ ​morning.​ ​Tam​ ​woke​ ​up​ ​at​ ​5​ ​a.m.​ ​to​ ​help​ ​his​ ​mum​ ​at​ ​the​ ​bakery,​ ​but​ ​his​ ​heart​ ​was​ ​already​ ​racing.

“​Damn,​ ​I​’​m​ ​definitely​ ​gonna​ ​see​ ​Wa​ ​today,​”​ ​he​ ​muttered,​ ​kneading​ ​the​ ​dough​ ​at​ ​the​ ​same​ ​time.

His​ ​friend​ ​teased​ ​loudly,

“​Hey​ ​Tam​!​ ​What​’​s​ ​up​ ​with​ ​you?​ ​Your​ ​face​ ​is​ ​so​ ​red​!​”

Tam​ ​looked​ ​up,​ ​saw​ ​his​ ​friends​ ​laughing,​ ​and​ ​just​ ​frowned,​ ​replying,

“​Whatever,​ ​I​’​m​ ​not​ ​red​!​”

 

After​ ​finishing​ ​the​ ​pastries,​ ​Tam​ ​arranged​ ​cinnamon​ ​rolls​ ​on​ ​the​ ​shelf.​ ​His​ ​hands​ ​shook​ ​a​ ​little​ ​because​ ​he​ ​knew​ ​he​ ​would​ ​see​ ​Wa​ ​at​ ​university​ ​today.

“​Shit​!​,​ ​why​ ​am​ ​I​ ​so​ ​nervous?​”​ ​he​ ​muttered,​ ​biting​ ​his​ ​nails.

Another​ ​friend​ ​smirked,

“​Bro,​ ​looks​ ​like​ ​you​’​re​ ​in​ ​love,​ ​haha​!​”

Tam​’​s​ ​face​ ​turned​ ​red​ ​again.

 

Tam​ ​sighed​ ​and​ ​took​ ​a​ ​sip​ ​of​ ​coffee​ ​to​ ​calm​ ​himself,​ ​but​ ​his​ ​heart​ ​kept​ ​racing.

“​Okay,​ ​I​ ​have​ ​to​ ​act​ ​normal​…​ ​normal​…​ ​Whoa,​ ​why​ ​is​ ​this​ ​so​ ​hard?​”

By​ ​8​ ​a.m.,​ ​Tam​ ​was​ ​finally​ ​on​ ​campus.​ ​He​ ​dragged​ ​his​ ​backpack,​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​look​ ​casual,​ ​but​ ​his​ ​heart​ ​was​ ​beating​ ​like​ ​crazy.

“​Dude,​ ​chill,​”​ ​he​ ​muttered​ ​to​ ​himself,​ ​“​it​’​s​ ​just​ ​Wa​…​ ​just​ ​Wa​…​”

As​ ​he​ ​walked​ ​through​ ​the​ ​courtyard,​ ​he​ ​spotted​ ​him​ ​Wa,​ ​tall,​ ​black​ ​hair,​ ​serious​ ​face,​ ​hands​ ​in​ ​his​ ​pockets.

Holy​ ​crap,​ ​he​’​s​ ​even​ ​taller​ ​than​ ​I​ ​remember​!

Tam​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​act​ ​normal,​ ​but​ ​his​ ​feet​ ​felt​ ​like​ ​jelly.

One​ ​of​ ​his​ ​friends​ ​waved​ ​at​ ​him​ ​from​ ​across​ ​the​ ​lawn,​ ​grinning,

“​Bro,​ ​stop​ ​staring​!​ ​You​’​re​ ​gonna​ ​melt​ ​right​ ​there,​ ​haha​!​”

Tam​’​s​ ​ears​ ​turned​ ​red​ ​instantly.

“​Shut​ ​up,​ ​you​ ​idiot​!​”​ ​he​ ​snapped,​ ​but​ ​couldn​’​t​ ​hide​ ​the​ ​smile​ ​forming​ ​on​ ​his​ ​face.

 

He​ ​followed​ ​his​ ​classmates​ ​into​ ​the​ ​engineering​ ​building.​ ​Wa​ ​was​ ​already​ ​sitting​ ​at​ ​the​ ​front,​ ​looking​ ​completely​ ​focused.

“​Crap,​ ​he​ ​looks​ ​so​ ​serious​…​”​ ​Tam​ ​muttered​ ​under​ ​his​ ​breath.

Every​ ​little​ ​move​ ​Wa​ ​made​ ​made​ ​Tam​’​s​ ​stomach​ ​flip.

“​Okay,​ ​calm​ ​down,​ ​Tam.​ ​Just​…​ ​breathe,​ ​dude,​”​ ​he​ ​whispered,​ ​clutching​ ​his​ ​bag​ ​strap.

The​ ​cooking​ ​class​ ​started,​ ​and​ ​Tam​’​s​ ​heart​ ​skipped​ ​every​ ​time​ ​he​ ​saw​ ​Wa​ ​walk​ ​past​ ​the​ ​kitchen​ ​counter.

“​Dude,​ ​just​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​the​ ​dough,​ ​not​ ​him,​”​ ​Tam​ ​muttered.

But​ ​it​ ​was​ ​impossible.​ ​Wa​ ​moved​ ​with​ ​such​ ​grace,​ ​chopping​ ​vegetables,​ ​measuring​ ​ingredients​—​it​ ​looked​ ​effortless.

“​Holy​ ​crap​…​ ​he​ ​makes​ ​engineering​ ​look​ ​easy,​ ​but​ ​he​’​s​ ​hot​ ​as​ ​hell​ ​doing​ ​this,​”​ ​Tam​ ​whispered,​ ​almost​ ​dropping​ ​the​ ​rolling​ ​pin.

A​ ​friend​ ​elbowed​ ​him,​ ​whispering,

“​Bro,​ ​stop​ ​ogling​!​ ​You​’​re​ ​drooling,​ ​haha​!​”

Tam​ ​hit​ ​him​ ​lightly.

“​Shut​ ​up,​ ​idiot​!​”​ ​he​ ​hissed,​ ​but​ ​couldn​’​t​ ​stop​ ​glancing​ ​at​ ​Wa​ ​every​ ​few​ ​seconds.

 

During​ ​group​ ​work,​ ​Tam​ ​was​ ​paired​ ​with​ ​Wa.​ ​His​ ​hands​ ​brushed​ ​against​ ​Wa​’​s​ ​as​ ​they​ ​kneaded​ ​the​ ​dough​ ​together.

“​Crap​…​ ​why​ ​is​ ​my​ ​heart​ ​racing?​”​ ​Tam​ ​thought.

Wa​ ​looked​ ​up,​ ​eyes​ ​meeting​ ​his,​ ​and​ ​gave​ ​a​ ​small,​ ​almost​ ​invisible​ ​smile.

Tam​’​s​ ​face​ ​burned.

“​Okay,​ ​act​ ​normal​…​ ​just​ ​normal​…​”

 

The​ ​class​ ​ended,​ ​and​ ​Tam​ ​could​ ​barely​ ​concentrate​ ​on​ ​packing​ ​up​ ​his​ ​things.

“​Dude,​ ​you​’​re​ ​screwed,​”​ ​whispered​ ​his​ ​friend.

“​Yeah​…​ ​totally​ ​screwed,​”​ ​Tam​ ​muttered​ ​back,​ ​feeling​ ​both​ ​terrified​ ​and​ ​excited.
