"P. .P' Jim..." Daniel called Jim's name in a faint voice with a shocked expression.

“Do you know what you said?” Daniel asked again.

“I know. You heard me. And do you know what I mean?” Jim asked back earnestly. At that moment, Daniel's heart trembled violently with mixed feelings of joy and a little bit of uncertainty.

"....." Daniel went speechless.

“You don't have to say anything right now. You can have your lunch first. Then we definitely have something to discuss after this,” Jim said in a serious tone causing Daniel to immediately become silent. Soon, the food came out to be served. Smith walked back to his original seat.

“It's fine,” Jim said, getting up so that Smith and Daniel could sit down to eat together.

“Aren't you going to join us?" Smith pretended to ask. Jim raised a slight smile from the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay, I just want you to have a chance to eat with Danny alone for the last time." Finished speaking, Jim walked separately into the office leaving Smith to look at his back in confusion.

“When I went out to smoke, Did something happen, Danny?" Smith asked Daniel curiously.

“It's. .P' Jim, he said...” Daniel told Smith what Jim said earlier making Smith understand the situation immediately.

“Huh, Jelly,” Smith said with a chuckle.

"What are you laughing at, Brother Smith? What should I do? I don't know what P'Jim wants to talk about." Daniel said confused.

"Follow the feeling. Follow your heart, Danny," Smith said with a smile.

"Let's eat," Smith urged before the two of them sat down to eat together without Jim interfering in any way. He Just sat and watched from a distance. When the two finished eating Jim walked over to him knowingly.

“Are you full?” Jim asked quietly.

“Yes,” Smith replied causing Jim to look at Smith with pressured eyes.

“If you're full, you can go back. Meals do not have to be paid. I paid for it myself, and Danny come with me.” Finishing speaking, Jim grabbed the boy's wrist. Daniel immediately resisted.

"Where are you taking me?" Daniel asked in a trembling voice.

“I'm not going to kill you. I told you that we need to talk. I've been waiting a long time for you to eat with this guy until he's full." Jim said in a stern voice. Daniel pursed his lips together while turning to look at Smith. Smith gave Daniel a soft smile.

“I have to thank you very much for this meal. You have been waiting for a while. Can you wait a little longer? If I ask Daniel to walk me out to the car first then come back to see you. I'm sure I won't take Danny away," Smith precluded. Jim looked at him with a flat face.

“Brother Jim, let me go first,” Daniel said, not wanting to let Smith have to go back to the car alone.

“Then I'll come with you,” said Jim. The young boy furrowed his eyebrows together.

“Can I go out and send Brother Smith alone? I promise that I will come back and talk to you Phi,” Daniel asked with a trembling voice. Jim let out a slight grunt but let go of Daniel's small wrist.

“Thank you,” Smith said before standing up.

“Thank you for this meal,” Smith said again before taking Daniel out of the store with Jim standing, looking through the glass of the shop without blinking.
