Taiwan, 2023

"He late.."

A young blonde boy looked around with a look of boredom.  In his hand was a mobile phone and a book.  Sometimes he glanced at the watch on his wrist and let out a tired breath.

His body was propped up on an empty bench and the gadget was left lying next to the book on the table

His body was propped up on an empty bench and the gadget was left lying next to the book on the table.  His eyes returned to the direction in front of him.

Soon, there was a tall young man running to get him.  With a serious face, the young man apologized to him.

"Sorry, i'm late.."

"Okay."

Only that word that came out from his little mouth.  The young man who had just arrived understood the behavior of his friend, if the young man only answered his words briefly then it was certain that he was angry.  Not wanting to get lost in such a gloomy atmosphere, he volunteered to buy/treat his friend his favorite food.

"Don't mad okay. I promise i will not do it again. How about i treat you? You can order whatever you want."

"Really?"

"Yes. Anything for you."

The smile on his friend's face widened again when he heard about it.  But that was only for a moment.  His lips moved stiffly again as if he wanted to say something but no words came out from his mouth.

"You want said something to me?"

"Oh nothing. I just remember that i forgot to gave my cat food today."

"Really?"

"Hmm.."

He saw his friend scratching his head while smiling at him.  Observing the awkward behavior of his friend, he was sure that the young man was trying to hide something from him.

"Let's go, i want eat hotpot today."

"Okay."

While on the way to the hotpot shop, the atmosphere in the car driven by him did not change much.  The two of them did not speak at all, all that was heard was chatter from the radio dj that filled the space of the vehicle.

While driving, his eyes occasionally glanced at the young man sitting on the seat next to him.  The young man was still busy with his mobile phone.  He don't know what he(AiDi) watch until the young man smiled and occasionally frowned alone.

"What are you looking until you make face like that?"

"Oh nothing, just some video that my friend sent to me."

"Can i see too?"

"Nope. You still drive. Focus on your driving. I don't want die at the young age."

"Okay"

Not wanting to argue, he returned to driving the car carefully.  Only occasionally did he turn his face for a moment to see his friend's movements.

Turned off the radio and make atmosphere inside the vehicle so quiet.  Suddenly, the cell phone held by his friend rang so loudly.  Without wasting time, the young man picked it up.

"Hello..."

"Yes, i'm with Bowen."

"I know, don't worry.."

"Okay, i will call you later."

The call didn't last that long, just a few minutes.  After that, the young man was again busy staring at the display of his mobile phone.

"Who that?"

"Who?"

"Who calling you just now?"

"My friend."

"Nine? Daniel? Patrick? or LiuYu?"

"No. Not them"

"You have another friend beside them 4?"

"Yeah."

"Who?"

"My friend"

"Yeah i know he your friend but what his name? How you meet him?"

A series of questions directed at his friend.  As far as he knows, the young man only has 4 friends besides himself.  This is because the young man's life is quite closed.  He rarely communicates with others.  His life revolved around part-time jobs and studying, with no time to socialize.

"Yanjun. I meet him at the shop that i work part time."

"Oh, how long you friend with him?"

"Ermmm one month i think."

"Why i not know about this? Why you not talk to me about him?"

"Errr why should i talk to you about him?"

"Because i'm your friend. I don't want you hurt."

"Oh he nice. He will not hurt me."

"Don't trust other person easily AiDi. You just friend with him, you doesn't know his real behaviour."

"Don't worry okay, i'm not a child who doesn't know to judge someone."

He was silent for a while at there.  The atmosphere became dark for a moment.  Luckily the place they were going to was close by, otherwise the awkward atmosphere between the two would have continued for a long time.

When they arrived at the restaurant where the hotpot was sold, they both got out from the car.  The tall young man looked around.  There are not many vehicles passing by and parking in the area.  The area is also not too big and there are only a few people seen in there.

"Are you sure you want eat at here?"

"Yeah, they sell good food. Not only cheap, their food also taste so delicious/good."

As he expected, only the two of them were in the restaurant.  There are some rooms without customer.  Once again his eyes looked around the room.

"Uncle..I want this, makes spicy like always."

"Allright."

After ordering food, the young white man was busy with his mobile phone again.

"AiDi, you always eat at here?"

He asked like that just to break the silent atmosphere between them.

"Yeah, Yanjun recommend me this place. He said this place sell delicious food with cheap price. At first i didn't believe it, after i eat their food i really amazed with their taste."

"Oh..from what you tell me. I consume that you really close to him."

"Hmmm i like him."

"What? You like him?"

"Ermm i think i like him."
