Traveling through Thailand

Yai, who had heard the noises outside, stood by the window, watching the two people chatting happily below. For some reason, the scene seemed a bit jarring. Even though he knew they were just good friends, a wave of jealousy welled up inside him.

"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy?"

The two of them looked up at the second floor. Tucha bowed to him and said, "I made some food. Let me give it to Jom-geun to try."

"Oh?" Only then did he notice the item in Jom's hand.

"The stuff has been delivered, and it's time for me to go back." After a quick chat with Jom and a polite goodbye to Yai, he walked back the way he came, holding the lantern.

Jom took the food back to the second floor, where Yai was already waiting.

"Master Yai, aren't you going to rest?" Jom, who received no response, saw that his eyes were fixed on his hands. He raised the glass jar in his hand and said, "Master Yai, do you want to eat this? This is freshly made, and the flavor hasn't fully absorbed into the shrimp meat yet. How about I give it to you tomorrow to try?"

After hearing his explanation, Yai looked up at him and held out his hand to signal him to give the item to him. Jom had no choice but to accept the order and handed him the jar.

He opened the can and gently dipped his finger into the juice and put it into his mouth. Jom was shocked by his action and couldn't believe what he just saw.

"Young Master?"

Jom screamed in his heart: Is this still the elegant and calm young master? How could he use his fingers to dip into the juice and taste the flavor like them?! This completely changed his perception of young masters!!!

Yai, who looked calm, was very happy after tasting the dish: Jom's tasting action just now was indeed the way to show the deliciousness of this dish.

"Add this dish to my meal tomorrow."

"Yes."

Yai said and picked up the book that he had placed aside on purpose and walked back to his room.

After watching him leave, Jom sighed inwardly: What a pity, it’s not his turn to eat this dish.

In the days that followed, with ample funds, Tucha began making preserved foods of various flavors. As his collection of jars grew, Ming gradually began selling them at the market. As his reputation grew, Ming, after discussing with his mother, began setting up a street vendor.

The best-selling one is a frog with a belly full of frog eggs. It makes a "crunch" sound when you take a bite, and it feels great when you chew it.

As scheduled, he was supposed to deliver three pounds of candy to Yai. As he passed the farm, he heard Jom's cry. Thinking something had happened, he ran over. When he arrived, he realized it was a misunderstanding.

After the usual greeting, she looked at him with a worried look: "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Jom had a lot of things he kept secret from him, and as his good friend, Tucha wasn't one to pry into other people's private affairs. So, as long as Jom didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask. He looked at Yai and said, "Master Yai, here are the candies for this time."

"Yeah, okay." Out of trust in him, Yai didn't open the package to check. But Jom, as his housekeeper, dutifully opened the package, revealing candies of various colors.

"I want to eat it, I want to eat it, brother, I want to eat this beautiful candy."

Yai caressed Lek's head lovingly and asked, "Want to eat?"

"Ah."

Jom was very discerning and picked up a candy that he thought was delicious and handed it over: "This color is the best, Master Lek, try it."

Just as Lek got it and was about to open it, a strange voice rang out.

"What are you doing here?"

Tucha turned to look over. It was a middle-aged man, probably mixed race judging by his skin tone. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jom standing behind Yai. He lowered his head and walked over, allowing Yai and Aunt Prik to block his view.

After listening to their conversation, I realized he actually wanted Jom to help him train the pigs! If I remember correctly, he used to really dislike Jom.

Of course, in the end Yai bluntly rejected his request and turned it down with the answer that Jom was his housekeeper.

After the man left, Tucha pulled Jom's sleeve.

"what happened?"

Tu Cha glanced at the people talking elsewhere and whispered to him, "Is that the man just now the Mr. Yang who was insulted earlier?"

"Yes, it's him. Tu is amazing. I haven't even seen him, but he guessed it right away."

Tu Cha didn't care about his praise. He frowned and recalled the man's face. Then he leaned close to his ear and said, "That person gives me a bad impression. If possible, try to keep your distance."

"You feel that way too?"

"you also have?"

"Yeah. The first time I saw him, I felt that he wasn't as harmonious as he appeared."

Seeing him start to frown, Tu Cha patted his shoulder and said, "Forget it. As long as you don't cause trouble, you won't be able to touch him."

"Makes sense."

Glancing at the few people who were still talking over there, Tu Cha thought of his exclamation and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you what that shouting was about yet?"

Hearing him ask about this, and thinking about the environment he saw when he was painting just now, Jom's face turned ugly.

Noticing his expression, Tu Cha also frowned: "Is it something bad?"

Jom clenched the drawing paper in his hand and said, "When I was drawing this picture just now, I saw a few familiar faces in the future." Then he turned the picture in his hand towards Tu Cha.

Tu Cha tilted her head and looked at the picture on the paper: A pig?

Tucha looked around but couldn't see any flowers, so she looked at him in confusion, asking, "Are you sure this painting is the cause of this image?"

This time, Jom understood the meaning in his eyes and nodded in affirmation, "Yeah."

Looking at the painting in his hand again, it was indeed just an ordinary painting. Tu Cha, unable to see anything wrong with it, came up with a bad idea: "You said it only happens when you paint, so do you think the same thing would happen if I were to paint?"

"I don't know."

Tu Cha's eyes sparkled: "How about I try?"

Jom frowned. He had experienced this kind of thing before and it felt very bad. He didn't want Tu Cha to take any risks.

"Forget it. We don't know what these things mean, so we'd better be careful."

Tucha frowned. "What about you? What if this happens again?" If this happens to me while painting, I'll wait for Zero Zero to come back and ask him why it happened. Maybe I'll have a solution then.

Speaking of System Zero Zero, I am even more looking forward to its return.

In the end, due to Jom's firm refusal, Tu Cha failed to show his kindergarten-level painting ability, which became his biggest regret since arriving here.

A new income came in, and Tu Cha looked at Jom with his bulging wallet in his arms. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to raise the issue and ask for his opinion.

Jom also realized that he had something to say to him, so he took him to a quiet place and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. I have to bring dessert to Master Yai later."

"..." Facing the young master he mentioned from time to time, especially when they were standing together, Tu Cha wanted to get Tay over and show them how a couple should show affection. Unfortunately, this idea could only be thought about and there was no possibility of it being realized.

I took a closer look at the man in front of me and realized that he was in much better shape after not seeing him for a while. I didn't know why his transformation was so rapid, but it was good news.

"Brother Jom, I have an income now, why don't you quit your job and work with me."

"Ah?" Jom didn't expect him to say that.

He'd known that Tucha's small business was doing well. With Ming's help, everything was running smoothly. But if he joined in...at most, the finished product would be produced faster. But his heart told him he wanted to stay.

So he rejected Tucha's proposal. He reasoned that he was used to his current life and didn't want to change to another one. Fortunately, Tucha didn't pursue the matter further, and Jom let out a subtle sigh of relief after sending her away.

"he's gone?"

Jom jumped at the sudden sound behind him. Seeing who it was, he patted his chest and said helplessly, "Master Yai, scaring people can kill them."

"Ah, did I scare you just now?"

Jom wanted to say yes, but as his servant, he couldn't say such words. So, despite complaining a lot in his heart, Jom said, "No."

Seeing that his words were not sincere, Yai stepped forward and asked, "He just asked you to leave, why did you refuse?"

His question startled Jom, but after a few seconds he answered, "He runs a small business, and if he had to support me, it would be even harder."

"That's it."

Yai knew that what he said was just an excuse. Because if Tucha was willing, the income from the candies he imported could allow them to live a carefree life for several years.

"By the way, will the young master's rejection of Mr. Yang cause you any trouble today?" Thinking of the worry on Aunt Prik's face, he was also worried that this matter would make things difficult for the young master.

"It's okay. Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

Yai's resolute gaze met Jom's, and Jom, burned by it, immediately looked away. His mind went blank, but he subconsciously replied, "Yeah, that's good."

On the way back, I thought about the work I had to do, how Jom looked today, and how they had gotten along. My pace slowed down until I was only 100 meters away from my house.

"No way!!"

But apart from this possibility, there is no other reason.

At this moment, he really wanted to go back and ask if he had gotten over that relationship and fallen in love with someone else?

As his good friend, he was happy to know that he had gotten over that failed relationship. He would also support him getting over the breakup and falling in love with someone else. But the prerequisite was that this person was not from this era.

As a fellow time traveler, he knew that falling in love with someone from a different time and space had a 50% chance of ending in tragedy. The sweeter the process, the more painful the ending.

Thinking about what happened to him today, Tu Cha had a feeling that this wouldn't be the first time. If he suddenly came back one day, especially after they had expressed their feelings for each other, how painful would that be?

He took a few steps back and then stopped again.

"No, Jom finally has a new relationship, how can we let it end in vain?"

Tucha, who knew him well, turned and walked back, thinking about the possibility of them being together. She thought about the context of this era, how people here viewed same-sex relationships, and how she had been here for so long and hadn't met a single same-sex person.

Then think about Yai’s identity and Jom’s current status as a servant.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that even if there is no gap between them in terms of era, there will be a gap in feudal thinking.

"It's over, Jom's relationship is doomed to fail this time."

As he was muttering to himself, he didn't notice Ming coming back from outside.
