Lunch Dates

Part 8

Ohm laughed again. "Stop stop. Haha. Fine. Thanks again, Namtan. If you need anything, I'm always here for you."

Namtan ruffled Ohm's hair and answered, "I know. And I'm here for you too."

Chimon observed Nanon closely as his friend watched Ohm and Namtan hug. He couldn't tell what was going on in Nanon's mind but his face looked sad.

Chimon threw a ball at him.

"What the.." Nanon was caught by surprise. He turned to see Chimon laughing.

He ran after him."What the hell was that for? If I catch you, you're dead," he shouted as he chased Chimon around the court.

---

This time, it was Namtan and Ohm's turn to watch them.

"I'm happy for Nanon," Namtan said.

"Why?" asked Ohm.

"He seems to finally be comfortable around the team. Makes me feel better after what I've done."

"Come on. He says he has forgiven you. Nanon's not a vindictive person."

"I know," Namtan responded with a smile. "And I'm happy there's someone like him who'll take care of you."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Ohm was a bit confused.

"What? You're practically a child inside a man's body. You need someone to babysit you. Haha."

"Oh is that it?" Ohm feigned annoyance.

Namtan just laughed. "I have to go. See you around."

"All right."

Ohm smiled and waved her goodbye. That conversation turned out to be much easier than he ever thought.

During their lunch, Ohm shared the story to the gang after Chimon kept teasing him.

"Good for both of you," New commented. "Before Namtan and I stopped talking to each other, she's been telling me about how weird your relationship was."

"By the way New, you should start talking to her again. We're all okay now," Nanon said.

"In time, I guess," answered New. "I'm not mad at her. I kinda miss her actually. But I think that's one of my personal problems, when I fight with someone, I usually find it hard to go back to the same dynamics again. I'm working on it."

"You don't have to force yourself to talk to a friend again after a fight," Jane said in support.

"Time heals everything. Just wait it out."

"Oh by the way guys," Nanon interrupted. "I baked some cookies for you. Chimon here has been requesting chocolate chip cookies since I once mentioned that I know how to bake them." He brought out two boxes of cookies from a paper bag.

"Why are there only two boxes, there's four of us now?" Jane asked.

"I don't have time to bake cookies all day. Haha. One box is for Chimon, then you guys can share the other one," Nanon explained.

New and Jane exchanged knowing looks and laughed. Ohm was just quietly observing.

"Don't feel bad guys," Chimon quipped. "It took me a long time to convince him to bake cookies for me so I deserve it. Haha."

Jane and New rolled their eyes at Chimon.

"Stop it New and Jane. One box has twelve cookies. That's enough for both of you and Ohm," Nanon added.
