Chapter 25

“And you think that I flirted with you because you're a woman?" Brown immediately asked back causing Koh to remain silent for a bit.

“Why should you care about gender? If I wanted to be with a woman I'd have flirted with someone else since before. I would not have followed you like this. Can you stop thinking too much? Am I not clear enough in my words and actions? You tell me. You just saw these pictures and you are already sensitive to the point of ignoring me. And if we encounter any other obstacles, then you won't be able to stand them. Aren't you going to just abandon me then?" Brown said out loud. Koh remained silent.

“And this picture? You are smart enough to know who sent it to you. Then you should know the purpose of the person who sent it. Then why do you have to go struggling with it?" Brown said coming out again.

“Because I couldn't stop thinking about it, that's why I'm angry with myself," Koh argued back because he couldn't get a hold of his emotions. So it's very frustrating for him. He didn't know since when he became this sensitive to get so affected by simple stories like this. Koh sat down with his hands on his temples. Brown also looked and sighed. He sat down next to Koh and pulled him into a hug. Koh also allowed himself to be hugged without struggling.

“About the picture, I can explain everything. It's up to you to listen to me or not," Brown tried to restrain himself.

"Just say it," Koh replied, letting Brown know that Koh was ready to listen.

“I went to pick up Bam from her school. And found Toffee there too. So we walked out and talked. I only walked with her till my car,” But Koh still sat feeling stressed out.

“Phi Toffee is very close with your family, right?” Koh asked curiously. Brown raised his eyebrows a bit.

“If you are talking about her being close with Bam, then maybe yes. Why do you ask? What does it have to do with my family?" Brown asked in confusion.

“Isn't P' Toffee close to your mother too?” Koh said again. Brown was quiet for a bit.

“Who said that Toffee was close to my mother?” Brown asked quietly. Ko sat quietly.

“Who said that?” Brown asked again in a deep voice.

“Well... Today Phi Toffee came to see me at my faculty and also carried the paper bag that you held in the picture. She said to me that your mother sent it for you and asked me to deliver it to you, ” Koh said as the girl told him in a low voice.

“You misunderstood. Bam said that Toffee bought it for her. So she took it to deliver it to her school. I just held it for Bam. Where did Toffee meet my mother? She has never been to my house," Brown said in a muffled voice knowing that both Toffee and her sister teamed up to trouble Koh. Koh frowned and immediately looked at Brown's face.

“Are you saying that Toffee lied to me?” Koh asked back to be sure.

“Probably so,” Brown said as he assumed. He was quite disappointed that Toffee played like that.

“Then why does Phi Toffee have to play like this? Why would she lie to me like that?" Koh asked in a serious tone. Brown let out a heavy sigh.

“What do you think? I don't want to say much because she is a woman. But I don't like anyone messing with my affairs either," said Brown, sounding annoyed with displeasure. Now, Koh seemed to be able to relieve some of his frustration after knowing the truth. He believes that Brown would not lie to him. Only at first, he was overthinking too much.

“And see? If you had agreed to talk with me from the beginning, we wouldn't have to argue like this. Just remember, whenever something is bothering you, you have to talk and ask, not run away like this. You don't want to be broken. Make yourself a man. Confront me directly. I'll do the same thing. I'm honest enough to tell you the whole truth," said Brown making Coco immediately silent because he realized that he was wrong to run away from Brown. Koh lay back on the bed and let out a soft sigh.
