Chapter 29

Brown's cell phone rang. He looked at the screen and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Excuse me for a moment,” Brown said to everyone before splitting up and walking out to talk on the porch of the house.

📞"What's up?" Brown answered the phone call from his lover.

📞(“Where are you?")  Koh asked in a low voice. Brown didn't think anything of it.

📞“Came out with my Mom to do errands. I told you," Brown replied. Koh became a little quiet.

📞"What's wrong?" Brown asked seriously.

📞(“No, I just called to ask, where are you going to run errands?”) Koh asked again trying to sound casual.

📞"Do you miss me? That's why you asked, huh?" Brown asked jokingly.

📞("Can't you tell me? Or you don't want me to know? Is there something you're hiding from me, Phi?") Koh asked back. Brown sighed lightly. He thought Koh had a pretty accurate premonition lately too.

📞"What am I going to hide? I always tell you what I'm doing or where I am going. It's you who doesn't tell me anything. Tell me now where you're. " Brown said back jokingly. Koh remained silent for a bit.

📞“So don't you have to help at the shop? Let's behave like a good boy lately, you know? So Father will give in to us quickly," Brown spoke to Koh in a serious tone. Because he wanted Koh's father to accept the relationship between them quickly.

📞(“It's not just me. You have to behave well too for your Mother to accept us,”) Koh said back. Brown was a little silent because right then, he too was facing problems with his mother as well.

📞“Um, don't worry. Both of us have to get through this together,” Brown encouraged his lover. He personally didn't think much of anything. But he knew that Koh was quite thoughtful.

📞(“I won't be bothering you anymore. You can go to continue running errands with your mother,") Koh cut the script.

📞“If the errand is done early, I'll go find you," Brown said back. Koh accepted the word before hanging up. Brown sighed lightly before walking back inside the house to his mother.

Koh looked at Brown walking back into the house, as an uneasy feeling settled on his heart. He remained discreetly outside the fence, observing him. Watching Brown answer his call affirmed his previous doubts about the car. Koh was aware that Brown was running errands with his mother. However, he wondered about the nature of that business. If only Koh had not seen the girl living in that house. Knowing how attractive that young woman is and taking into account what the housemaid mentioned, Koh grew even more stressed. Koh trusts Brown, but it seems that Brown's mother would prefer her son to be with a beautiful girl rather than someone like Koh which would not differ much from what his own father desired. Koh sighed softly before driving back to his brother's shop.

Tell me, what's the problem with Dad?" Koh's brother Gram inquired when Koh walked in and brought the money. Koh looked at his brother's face tensely.

"Do you have time to listen?" Koh asked because the shop was still open with lots of customers visiting them from time to time.

“Let the kids manage the shop for a while. You seem to have a long story to tell,” Gram said observing his younger brother's tensed face. So the two brothers walked into Gram's office.

"Come on,” Gram encouraged his brother to speak as he sat down in his chair. Coco sat down in another chair, sighing lightly. His heart thumped harder as he decided to confide in his elder brother.
