chapter 25

The next day, they went shopping in the mall. It was very large and beautiful.

"Look, this looks good," Way said, holding up a shirt for Pete to see.

"No, I don't like it," Pete replied, shaking his head.

"So, what about this one?" Way asked, pointing to another shirt. "Too costly."

"If you like it, then buy it..." Pete trailed off, feeling a bit uneasy.

They finished their shopping and headed to the payment counter. Pete's card showed only 10k, and when he tried another card, it was invalid. Way noticed his distress and handed him his card.

"Take mine," Way insisted.

"But I don't need your money," Pete protested.

"We're a couple, so we can share it. I want to pamper my boyfriend."

"No, please don't..." Pete said, returning some of the clothes. "These are enough for me, and I will be going to Thailand after a few days."

"Why are you going?" Way asked, surprised.

"I got a call from the company. They said my vacation is coming to an end."

"Oh, when will you come back again?" Way asked, concern in his voice.

"I don't know, but I will try to come."

"I'm sorry, Pete. Because of me, you have to leave your company."

"I only know that I love you, and I can do anything for you," Pete reassured him.

"Okay, want to go on a date?" Way suggested, changing the subject.

"A date?"

"Yes, after completing my office work, we will go on a date."

"Okay."

"Meet me at 8 pm. I will send you the address."

"But what will I do without you all day?"

"You can visit some good places. Don't worry about money, I will send you."

"I don't need your money. I only need you."

"You can borrow from me and then return it after some time, when you receive your salary."

"Okay, okay... but I don't know where to visit, and without you, I feel bored."

"Oh, there are many places. Okay, I will send you my favorite places."

They talked about their plans for the day. Pete was reluctant to visit alone, but Way insisted, so he had to go.

Half a day passed, and Way started missing Pete. He called him.

"What are you doing?"

"Sitting on the bed."

"What? I told you to come out and visit my favorite places."

"I know, and I did the same, but I'm feeling tired."

"Oh, because of last night," Way teased.

"No, I didn't get tired last night. I have many abilities," Pete retorted.

"Oh, really? I want to know how much power you have left in your body."

"Yes, I will show you tonight. Be ready."

They were very excited for their date night. As planned, pete arrived at a very fancy restaurant, fully prepared for their date. On the other side, Way got too much work in the office and was very worried about Pete. He decided to text him.
