Reporting to Work

After a relaxing weekend, it was finally time for Tynan to start a new chapter of his life. Reporting to work at Apple Soup Restaurant wasn't the difficult part. Tynan put on his apron and wore something comfortable enough for him to move around in and waited for instructions as he entered the kitchen using the employee's entrance. It was ten in the morning and the restaurant was still closed. It would only open at eleven, according to Alan who greeted him that day. Apple Soup only opened from eleven to three and five to eight daily. Hence, the chefs usually had two shifts with the exception of Griffin who practically lived in the restaurant. Tynan's job was simple. For four days a week, he would work from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon, helping the chefs prepare ingredients for their use during the lunch hour rush and b

Seamless Partnership

Tynan met the family at Apple Soup and just before eleven, he was quickly introduced to the morning team. There were only four men in the kitchen excluding Griffin and Tynan. The team of waiters serving outside under Alan's command was also roughly about the same size but for some reason, the kitchen looked a lot smaller now that all kitchen hands were on deck."Tynan, my boy! Come up here and introduce yourself to the family!" Griffin boomed and the rowdy chefs cheered with an equally loud applause to match the enthusiasm.Shyly, Tynan stammered his weak introduction and the cooks cheered deafeningly, welcoming him on board. As he already met Baston earlier, Tynan only had to familiarise himself with the other three assistant cooks."I hope you don't end up quitting like the other helper," a skinny assistant cook w

Promotion

In just three weeks, the programmer looked very different from how he was. If his co-workers from the convenience store saw him now, they would be impressed by the arm muscles that the programmer was sporting.Tynan found his lifestyle changing drastically with the new job. Initially, he was always tired whenever he worked but after a while, he realised that there were more pros than cons about the job change.Firstly, Tynan started to get fitter. He also ate healthier simply because he was often told to cook and eat at the restaurant on the days he worked. Griffin would always tell him to bring something back home for dinner on the days he worked and grocery bills were saved that way.Also, Tynan found that his financial health improved greatly, thanks to the better wages that Apple Soup paid. Using that, Tynan dec

Tea Menu

The promotion that Laura overheard happened right on a Monday when Tynan reported for work."Hey, twerp! Get over here!" Griffin called just as Tynan was about to start preparing the coleslaw. In fact, all the other chefs were gathered around the menu with papers scattered all over the metal countertop. It was a rare sight and Tynan wondered what was going on.Baston hid the chef's hat behind him. It wasn't the tallest hat around but a hat indicated that one was a qualified cook of the proud Apple Soup restaurant. Tynan was going to be so surprised to know that he was climbing up the ranks in just under a month! The morning and afternoon teams discussed it. Griffin also consulted Alan about staffing for tea time and everyone agreed that there was no harm in trying to introduce a tea menu. Unlike the gruff old

Improved Financial Situation

Time passed quickly when life became busier. With the tea menu and new seasonal creations, Tynan found himself quickly swept away by the things he needed to do. Laura did her best to help out at work and they often spent the evenings being quiet, unwinding the long day with some of Tynan's favourite anime. Laura didn't know much about anime initially. Her opinion about it was that they were for children until Tynan introduced her to some hard-boiled sports anime that Laura quickly got hooked on. From then on, it was an endless spiral down the rabbit hole as he introduced her to more genres.Tynan reflected on his week as he zoned out on the episode. Laura was deeply engrossed in the high school love drama and comedy but the programmer had deeper thoughts in the background. After introducing a Christmas seasonal drink named "Mistletoe" made from kiwi, cucumber and mint with Sprite that was garnished with so

Felix

The days blurred into weeks and a thin invisible wall started to build itself between Laura and Tynan. While they still enjoyed a good anime marathon and gaming nights, the conversations between them became less carefree as they treaded on thin ice around sensitive topics.One such topic that would make Laura shrink back considerably was the question about her past. It wasn't too obvious but Tynan noticed it anyway as he started to pay her more attention. It was strange how comfortable they'd become when they could talk about things like farting and flushing the toilet but when it came to Laura's hobbies and family, the e-ghost would clam up. She wouldn't even tell him her real name or last name which was odd seeing that Tynan knew the things Laura didn't like to eat in alphabetical order.The hot and cold reaction from his e-ghost crush and the thin invisible

Laura ‘Crusher’ Helvig

After that eventful celebratory feast, Laura woke up with a virtual hangover. After Tynan gave her some medicine for her hangover, the e-ghost asked what happened when she drank and Tynan rejoiced that she couldn't remember anything that she told him. Still, he reassured her that the worst she did was sing a children's song. Laura called him a liar when she heard that but the smug expression on Tynan's face made her falter. He was just pulling her leg... right?Other than that, they quickly returned to their normal routine. Laura was hellbent on completing the job that she had and Tynan left it to her. On the days they weren't completely drained from working in the kitchen, they spent it working in silence on their projects.The game that Tynan was working on started to take shape. Using some of the bonus he earned, Tynan asked Laura for help to source for an a

Tynan's Feelings

Another month flew by in a flash and Tynan found himself increasingly busier. Laura has become an indispensable part of his life and each time she went for a snooze, Tynan found himself feeling extremely exhausted after work. Without Laura around to help him with some of his tasks, Tynan found himself turning into a zombie when his shift ended. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to afford much time for rest or mindless anime marathons because his side hustles were starting to pick up pace and orders were piling.Despite the exhaustion, Tynan spent his night thinking about his e-ghost pal. It started off as a small flame that slowly grew into a raging fire. It didn't matter if he tried to distract himself or used logic to dissuade himself, Tynan had to accept the truth. He was falling in love with Laura and hopelessly so.With every passing day that they spent togeth

Mutual Feelings

It was another exhausting day as Christmas was approaching. The weather was unbearably hot and Tynan finally begged Laura not to open the windows anymore. He was dead tired from work and he didn't want to deal with the heat in his rundown apartment. Laura felt bad for Tynan who soaked through his shirt from that short walk from Apple Soup back home and wondered if there was something she could do to help him.Tynan's apartment's air conditioner was old and didn't work very well so Laura fashioned something while the programmer took a shower. With her maxed out telekinesis abilities, Laura looked at her handiwork proudly.The curtains were closed but it was still warm inside so Laura filled a spray bottle and turned the standing fan on to blow 'mist' all over.When Tynan came out of his shower, he was pleasantly surp

Christmas Tradition

Tynan couldn't understand how he was busier than he usually was during that Christmas week break. His schedule was so packed and even Laura worked herself haggard. Neither of them could understand the sudden influx of requests by their clients. Even though more business wasn't a bad thing, Tynan couldn't help but lament how it hindered the progress he looked forward to making with his new game.On the bright note, the artist came back with the characters and graphics that Tynan wanted for his game. It matched his requirements brilliantly and a good portion of the money he earned from his side hustles went to paying the artist for her work.While Tynan slaved over delivering the projects Laura accepted on his behalf, the e-ghost was struggling with screening possible dating candidates for the programmer. She reasoned that if she was able to screen through the la
