"P'Pee, did F prepare the studio yet?"
[Yeah... he prepared the studio since he got here.]
"Okay, okay."
[So, have you come out yet... everyone's waiting.]
"What's the excitement about?"
[Haha, I don't even know.]
"..."
[We'll see you soon.]
"Alright."
After hanging up with his important business partner, Panlee walked over to Mama GlaiJai and Nong Moon, who were getting dressed in the bedroom.
"Are you done getting dressed?"
"All done~"
Panlee looked at GlaiJai, who was wearing the Once in a Blue Moon brand from head to toe. GlaiJai wore a big purple short-sleeve T-shirt and white skinny jeans. It might have been because GlaiJai tucked the bottom of the shirt into the pants, which made the figure stand out more. While Panlee was admiring his lover, he silently praised his wife many times...
GlaiJai... looks good in anything.
My wife... is the best.
The small figure, who was looking stylish, leaned down to pick up the chubby little puppy, who was wearing the Once in a Blue Moon shirt designed specially by Pa, and hugged him.
Today, Panlee planned to take GlaiJai and Nong Moon to a photoshoot at his close friend's studio. The special collection they were wearing was not sold in stores but was designed just for GlaiJai and Nong Moon.
Panlee admitted that he was totally in love with his wife and son, to the point where he wanted them to model together wearing these special clothes. However, it wasn't just a thought. Two weeks ago, Panlee proposed the idea to all the business partners during a meeting, and F volunteered to be the photographer for the 'Bundle of Wife and Child' collection.
"Panlee... do we really need to go to the photoshoot?"
"We have to... because Pa wants some good pictures of Mama GlaiJai and Nong Moon to keep."
"If you just want pictures to look at... then we could take them ourselves. You're pretty good at photography."
"No way... because I want the pictures to turn out the best."
GlaiJai sighed quietly before speaking, "I'm not very good at this kind of thing."
"You don't need to worry, these pictures won't be shown to anyone. We'll just keep them for ourselves."
"..."
"Even if you just stand there without posing, I still think you'll look cute."
GlaiJai smiled slightly and said, "Since you've said that... then I'll have to listen to you, Pa."
Panlee smiled widely. "Then let's go, P'Pee and F are waiting at the studio."
"Alright... let's go, Nong Moon."
🌙
"GlaiJai... could you move to the left a bit?"
"Is this enough?"
"Perfect."
Panlee stood with his arms crossed, watching F, the photographer. Normally, F liked to flirt with cute models, but the model in front of him was Panlee's partner, so F could only smile at GlaiJai.
"Can you kiss Nong Moon?"
"Sure."
F took one hand off the camera and placed it on his own chest. He looked at Panlee standing next to him and spoke softly...
"Man... I'm sorry..."
"..."
"It's like... Your wife is so cute."
"..."
"His speech, manners, everything... I've never met anyone like him before."
"..."
"I can totally understand why you're so protective of him."
"..."
"...And if it's not too much trouble, my friend Lee!"
"..."
"Does GlaiJai have any siblings?"
"Keep taking pictures."
"Okay, I got my answer."
F nodded and then turned his attention back to the adorable model. Panlee stood with his arms crossed, watching GlaiJai and Nong Moon in the same spot. He gave a thumbs-up to the cute person who was smiling at him.
"Great job, GlaiJai."
"So cute!"
Panlee glanced away from his lover and shifted his gaze to the person beside him, who was speaking in a soft, sweet tone. He sighed as he noticed Kal and two other friends standing with bottles of water in their hands. Panlee knew exactly what they were planning. If F ever said, 'Take a break,' Kal and his friends would rush to give GlaiJai water right away.
"Stop whatever you're planning right now."
"Uh... this water..." Kal stammered awkwardly before twisting the bottle cap and taking a sip.
"Oh... That damn Kal is using this trick, now how am I supposed to get out of this?"
"Didn't you say you were bringing water for GlaiJai?"
"Your father!" Kal blurted out, quickly covering up his slip. Then he added, "...I brought this water for myself."
Panlee shook his head in exasperation and turned his attention back to his lover. He watched the little one holding their beloved puppy with such care. The smile, the gaze, and everything about GlaiJai made Panlee smile with joy. It wasn't just him who thought GlaiJai was like a soothing balm for a weary heart, but the new visitor standing nearby must have felt the same.
"GlaiJai is as adorable as ever..."
"..."
"Anyone who sees that smile will definitely end up smiling too."
"I'm so proud."
"Of what?" P'Pee asked curiously.
"Proud to have such an adorable wife."
P'Pee laughed and shook his head before saying, "I'll admit it..."
"..."
"No one brags about their wife as much as you do."
"..."
"But to be fair, your wife really is worth bragging about."
"Exactly... when you have an adorable wife, you have to show off."
"..."
"But honestly, I don't want to show him off too much."
"..."
"...because I don't want anyone looking at my wife too much."
"..."
"I just want to keep him all to myself."
"I totally get that..."
Panlee tore his eyes away from his senior and looked back at his lover again. At that moment, GlaiJai was smiling sweetly while holding Nong Moon close. Panlee couldn't help but smile as well before giving GlaiJai another thumbs up.
"Mama GlaiJai and Nong Moon are doing amazing."
"Bark!"
It wasn't just Panlee and GlaiJai who burst into laughter at Nong Moon's adorable bark, everyone also smiled at the puppy's cuteness. Panlee continued watching Mama GlaiJai and Nong Moon pose for the shoot. After a while, F put the camera down and announced loudly...
"It's a wrap!"
"Yay~!"
Everyone clapped and began packing up. Panlee wasn't surprised by how excited his friends were, F had planned a party to celebrate finishing the work. But for someone like him, who now had a family, it was time to head home. Panlee opened his arms, waiting to embrace Mama GlaiJai and Nong Moon. His strong arms wrapped around the smaller man holding their plump puppy. GlaiJai looked up at him and said...
"Panlee, do you want to stay and party with your friends first?"
"..."
"I can take Nong Moon home first."
Panlee smiled before leaning down to kiss GlaiJai's lips and said, "Papa gave up partying a long time ago."
"..."
"...ever since I fell in love with you."
"..."
"GlaiJai..."
"Yes..."
"Thank you... thank you for making Lee happy every single day."
"Glai should thank you too, Panlee."
"..."
"Thank you for doing everything for me... and now for Nong Moon as well."
"..."
"Thank you."
Panlee smiled at the person in his arms, thinking...
Thank you, my little rascal.
Thank you, GlaiJai.
Thank you, Nong Moon's Mama.
And thank you for being the heart of my life.
