( still Around 12 Pm, At a random cafe )::
...." okay mom, Take care." Wut didn't want to, but he did anyway, trying to avoid making things worse.
He put his phone away, feeling a mix of emotions: guilt, annoyance, and a deep-seated longing for things to be different,
He took another sip of his ice latte, letting the coolness calm his frazzled nerves. Just as he was starting to relax, his phone buzzed again – this time a notification from The Tops' group chat on LINE.
Wan's message flashed on the screen: "Hey guys, don't forget about our meet up"
Win: "Mm, what meet up?"
Wan: "Seriously, Win?! I just told you guys about it! Are you joking or did you really forget?"
Win: "Oh no no , I didn't forget..."
Wan: "Don't play dumb with me, Win! You always forget something!"
Sak: "Hey, what's the time for the meet up again?"
Krit: "7 PM"
Sut: "Yeah, I've heard 7 PM, don't be late Win!"
Win: " I've heard that, won't be late!" *he sent a laughing emoji *,
Wut sipped his ice latte, feeling a bit relaxed about the meet up. He typed out a response: "Yes, I'll be there. See you guys then"
As he sent the message, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He decided to ask Wan about it in the group chat: "I hope everything is alright?"
Sak: "Yeah, Wan, is everything okay?"
Krit: "Are you sure you're fine, Wan?"
Sut: "We're all here for you, Wan. What's going on?"
Win: * sent a love hug Gif *
Wan responded: "Yes, everything is fine. Nothing serious. I'll tell you guys about it when we meet up. Okay? " ,* Sends an ok emoji*
Wut read the message and smiled, feeling a bit relieved. "Okay"
Wan: "And Win, how many times do I have to tell you to stop sending me these silly hugs?!"
Sut: * sends a laughing emoji*
Win: " heyy..I was just trying to calm you down, why are you attacking me? " * Sends confused emoji*
Wan: " don't need it, just don't miss the meet up and Don't be late!"
Win: " alright I won't"
Wut read the message and chuckled, shaking his head. "Never gets old," he muttered to himself, smiling at the familiar routine of Wan and Win's banter.
Wut went back to sipping his ice latte, lost in thought..
***Another scene ***
( Now 1 pm, At Melodia Music Academy ):;
.. As Siri's driver Wirot navigated through the gates of the Melodia Music Academy, Siri sat in the back seat, Yot beside her. The gates swung open, revealing a well-manicured lawn and a modern building in the background.
Wirot drove through the gates and parked the car in a designated parking spot.
Siri's phone buzzed with a notification, and she reached for it. But before she could check the message, Wirot spoke up, "We're here, ma'am." Siri noded, putting her phone aside. "Thanks, Wirot."
Yot opened the car door and stepped out. Siri got out from the other side of the car and met Yot at the front of the vehicle.
Yot looked up at her with big eyes and reminded her, "Don't forget to pick me up P', We made a pinky promise." His voice calm,
Siri chuckled and ruffled his hair. "I won't forget, little one. Here..." She says as she hands Him the cookie Wut gave him,
"... You can have it ." Siri handed Yot a cookie, and he took it,
" Thanks P' " he says happily holding it in his hand.
As they approached the building, a staff member, dressed in a corporate uniform, greeted them with a polite bow and said, "Sawatdee ka," Siri and Yot replied in unison,
The staff member smiled and said politely, "If you'll permit me, I'll escort Young Master Yot to his piano class now." Siri nodded graciously, and as the staff member led Yot towards the entrance,
As Yot followed the staff member into the building, he turned back and waved at Siri, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Siri smiled warmly and waved back, her eyes gentle.
With one last glance, Yot disappeared into the building, accompanied by the staff member.
As Yot disappeared into the building, Siri turned back to the car, and Wirot held the door open for her. She slid into the back seat, and Wirot got back into the driver's seat. "Where to, ma'am?" he asked respectfully.
Siri's voice was soft as she replied, "Home." Wirot nodded and started the engine.
As the car pulled away from the academy, Siri checked her phone and saw a notification from LINE - a message from The Elite group. She scanned the message, her expression turning thoughtful.
After a moment, she leaned forward and said, "change of plans. Take me to the Safe House ." Wirot nodded respectfully and adjusted the route...
