My Crush

47 - Next chapter

Build's POV

"Oh...Mr. Build?!"

Mr. Chen opens the door.

Sweat runs down his face...I ponder if I came at a bad time.

"Oh...sorry for the late hour, Mr. Chen. How reckless of me...coming without prior notice. Have a good night!"

"If you just arrived, why are you leaving?"

"I don't want to disturb you."

"Do you fight?!"

"Pardon?!"

"I was training boxing by myself...it's kind of troublesome..."

"Oh! Nice. Uhhh... well... I know a little..."

"Excellent! I need someone to hold the gloves. Do you mind?!"

"I can help, yeah."

"So come in, please..."

...

Mr. Chen's POV

"Your training is intense, sir."

"At my age I can't afford to take anything easy."

"Aren't you my age?!"

"37"

"Still young. Wise mind, young body...age doesn't matter, anyway."

"About that...it helps if you stop calling me 'sir' or "Mr. Chen."

"I'm sorry!" Build scratches his head in a particular cute and shy way. "How can I call you then... 's...' ?!"

"My Taiwanese name is Hao, but you can call me Leo. That's how my Thai cousins and friends call me."

"Oh! Leo! Strong name. Do you have Thai cousins?!"

"My mother is half Thai."

"That's why your Thai is so good then..."

"I studied in your country for a couple of years...during high school. It was enough."

"Oh...I envy who can speak more than one language so well."

"You speak good Chinese. You're a fast learner."

"I still have to improve a lot..."

"I like your commitment...that's why I wanted you...with us."

"...about that..."

"Will you finally say why you're here, Mr. Build?!"

"Call me Biu."

"Talk freely...Biu..."

"We agreed there wouldn't be any romantic interactions between my character and other characters...no matter gender."
