@bae9779s: The next morning, the sun had barely crested the skyline when the chime above the entrance of Saraya Pâtisserie sang out. Lena, who was setting up the cash register, looked up in surprise. Usually, early morning foot traffic consisted of sleepy commuters grabbing black coffees to go. Instead, standing in the doorway was Oom Eisaya. She wore her yellow hard hat slung casually over her arm, long wavy hair slightly messy, and a bright, unabashed grin on her face, safety vest was half-unzipped, and she held a small cardboard cup of instant coffee from the convenience store next door. "Good morning!" Oom announced cheerfully, strolling right up to the front counter. Lena blinked, an amused smile tugging at her lips. "Good morning, Khun Oom. You’re early. We don't officially open for another minutes." "I know, I know," Oom leaning her elbows against the pristine marble. "But I have a critical structural inspection across the street today, and I figured I needed proper clearance. Which, in my professional opinion, requires a slice of that pink strawberry cake." Before Lena could reply, the kitchen door swung open. Bam stepped out, holding a tray of freshly baked butter croissants. She wore her usual chef’s jacket, hair neatly bound. Seeing Oom standing at the counter, step faltered for a fraction of a second. The memory of yesterday’s sudden tearful exit hung between them, unspoken. Bam quickly smoothed her expression, adjusting her posture to her usual composed, elegant standard. "Good morning, Khun Oom," Bam voice quiet and carefully measured as she placed the tray into the display glass. Oom’s eyes brightened instantly. "Morning, Bambi!" Lena coughed into her elbow, hiding a smirk, while Bam’s eyelashes fluttered. The nickname, delivered with such casual warmth, sent a tiny ripple across Bam’s otherwise stoic face. She turned her attention to aligning the croissants with exact precision. "I apologized if I startled you yesterday," Oom said softly, leaning a bit closer over the counter, playful tone dipping into genuine concern. "I didn't mean to make you upset. Did I say something bad?" Bam stopped adjusting the pastries. She kept her eyes on the display, though her knuckles tightened slightly. "No," Bam replied smoothly, turning back to face Oom with a calm demeanor. "You did not say anything wrong, Khun Oom. I simply had a momentary personal matter to attend to." "Good. Because I'd hate to be banned from the best bakery in Bangkok on day 2," Oom chuckled, sliding onto one of the tall bar stools by the counter. "So, about that strawberry cake." "The Strawberry Velvet Mousse is still setting in the cooler, It will not be ready for another twenty minutes." Oom slumped forward, resting her forehead against her crossed arms on the counter with a dramatic groan. "Bambi, you're killing me. I have an entire crew waiting for me to approve a foundation pouring in 15 mins. I need sugar to survive math." Bam looked down at the top of Oom's head. Beneath her composed exterior, a faint, unfamiliar warmth bloomed in her chest. Without saying a word, Bam turned back into the kitchen. "Where are you going?" Oom raised her head, pouting. "Are you leaving me to starve?" "Chef Bam is never leaving anyone to starve," Lena whispered, leaning over. "Just watch." Two minutes later, Bam returned carrying a small, plain white plate. On it sat a fresh, golden croissant, sliced neatly in half, filled with a smooth, bright yellow passionfruit cream, topped with crushed Oreo cookies, and finished with a tiny dusting of powdered sugar. She set the plate directly in front of Oom. "It is not on the menu," Bam said softly, eyes resting on Oom's face. "It is a test batch. It requires immediate evaluation." Oom’s face lit up instantly. "A special test? For me?" "Because you are here early," Bam clarified quickly, voice maintaining its polite boundary, though a soft, faint flush dusted her cheekbones. "And because you are loud." #oombam ##bamsaralee #oomeisaya
