For about two minutes none of us were talking. I decided to break the ice.
Me: "So...John. How'd you meet Decie?"
John: "I knew her way back in high school, but we started to hang out in college."
Me: "Wait a minute...hang out??"
John: "Yea haha. In a friendly way. We're just best friends."
I gave him a look of skepticism and laughed about it. It was his turn to as a question.
John: "So, do you have a boyfriend?"
Me: "Yes, his name is—"
John: "—somehow similar to mine?"
Me: "What?" It surprised me how he knew that.
John: "John...ny? Maybe?"
Me: "H-How did you know?"
John: "You don't know this but, most of my relatives are fortune tellers, and very good ones. I was told I can tell a person's fortune, but nobody in my friends believed me, so I was known to be a trying-hard-fortune teller in college."
Me: "o-okay"
John: "I got a strange feeling the moment I saw you a while ago. That's why I asked Decie to introduce me to you."
The atmosphere was beginning to look even more awkward.
John: "Whatever you do, protect him. I sensed a feeling that something wrong is going to happen when you let him leave. The military is not a good place for him."
Me: "What are you talking about?"
John: "I just—"
I left my cola and John in the kitchen. How can he say something like that? The whole night I was nervous and anxious about Johnny.
