LBC’S INCORRECT QUOTES: He’s my boyfriend.
“And then he went and told off the waiter too!” Good nodded sympathetically as Can continued his story. “God… And then as if that wasn’t enough, he asked for the chef and told him he should quit because all the food was burnt. He’s seriously the biggest jerk on the face of the Earth!”
Good blinked. “But Ai Can… how do… you know him?” Good tilted his head in thought. “I thought… you said… you didn’t like him. So why do… you have… so many stories?”
Can’s face turned pink before it turned pale. Good’s curiosity increased as Can started fidgeting in his seat.
“Well Ai Good… There’s something I have to tell you.” Good nodded. “And you have to promise me you won’t overreact.” Good raised an eyebrow but said nothing. “Well… Ai Tin and I… He’s my boyfriend.”
Good blinked. “Since… when?”
Can stared at his sneakers and kicked at the dirt. “Two months.”
Good nodded. “Are you… happy?”
“Yeah… I really am happy.”
Good watched Can smile, small but happy. “Ai Tin makes me… He makes me feel like I’m not too much even if he says I am. He trusts me and I trust him.”
“You sound… so serious.”
“I guess we are more serious than I thought.”
“I’m glad… Ai Can that… you have Ai Tin.” Can felt relief flow through him at Good’s acceptance. “But don’t… let him… hurt you.”
“I won’t! He’ll be kissing the ground again before that happens!” Can pulled Good closer by throwing an arm around his shoulders. “But don’t you ever forget, we’re still best friends Ai Good!”
“Never.”
“Come on. I think it’s time I introduced him to you formally! And then he can buy us lunch!”
Good nodded only a slight bit faster than normal. But to Can, that might as well have been a shout of excitement.
