Chapter 28

Upon hearing the question from Jump, Disco remained silent, refusing to speak further.

//Hah! can't answer me?// Jump grumbled in his throat at Disco's stubbornness. It took some time to get through the traffic jam to reach Tin's house. Disco had already called Tin that he would come to his house. As soon as Disco drove into the garage, Tin immediately walked out to meet the two of them. Disco got out of the car first. Jump was about to brace himself against the car door frame to stand.

"Jump, I'll help you,” Tin said as he made a move to support Jump.

“Stop!” Disco's deep voice sounded before Tin could move to help Jump causing both Tin and Jump to pause a bit.

"What's wrong with you, Dis?" Tin asked.

“You pick up his crutches in the back seat. I'll carry him into the house myself," Disco said in a flat voice. Before walking to scoop Jump up in his arms. Tin lifted a slight smile from the corners of his mouth.

"Whoa! What a jealous man!" Tin said softly to his friend before Disco picked Jump up in his arms. The young boy's face flushed cause he didn't think that Disco would come and carry him, himself without Jump asking or pleading with him.

“Why are you standing there? Grab the crutches from the back seat and follow me,” Disco repeated when he saw Tin standing still.

"Yes sir," Tin said jokingly. Before Disco carried Jump into the house.

"Don't think that I want to hold you. I just don’t want my friends to get into trouble," Disco said not very loudly. Jump remained quiet as he could feel how hard his heart was beating when Disco did something for him without him having to request like this.

"Oh, let's carry each other today," Man, another friend of Disco who had arrived first, teased Disco. Disco put Jump down on the couch.

"Hello P'Man," Jumper greeted Disco's friends.

"Hello, why did you come with him?" Man pretended to ask.

"I am staying at P' Dis house," the young man answered with a straight smile. Man looked at his friend teasingly.

"Who said that. ." Man was about to ask something.

“What about Ai' Pong and Ai' Pete?” Disco interrupted first.

"Went out to buy liquor, they will come soon. Where should we sit and eat?" Tin, who walked behind him with crutches, answered and asked back.

“Can we go eat by the pool? I want to swim,” Disco replied.

"Are you going to drink or go swimming?" Man asked with a smile.

“Both,” Disco replied flatly.

"Then let's move to the poolside," Tin suggested, and everyone nodded in agreement. Disco walked and scooped Jump up again. Jump grinned as he saw that Disco came to carry him again.

(My man is secretly enjoying this. I know it)

"Can I carry him?" Man pretended to ask.

“Nope, ” Disco replied shortly making Jump's heart flutter at the sight of Disco's jealous self.

“I can't touch him now. Then several days ago What bastard chased Jump away like he was a disease?" Man teased Disco, making Jump smile secretly while Disco walked silently towards the pool. The young man placed Jump's tiny body on a chair by the pool.

“Before drinking will you like to taste my feet first, Man?" Disco then turned to ask his friend. His voice was flat but not serious.

"Relax, you don't have to be so cruel to your friend. I was just joking," Man said with a smile before walking back to help Tin pick up glasses, a water bottle and a plate filled with snacks.
