Ever since I cleared things up with P' Kitt, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest. Luckily, the handsome guy was quite understanding. Even when I told him directly that I liked women, he still treated me with respect. We went from being potential lovers back to being friends. I tested this by messaging him on LINE, and he responded normally, even inviting me to a new Michelin-starred restaurant he found.
Kitt:
Bring your girlfriend, too. I'll treat you both. Eating alone is lonely.
Frung:
No way. What if you like my Pixie? She's really pretty.
Kitt:
What kind of person do you think I am?
Frung:
You're a good person, but I'm possessive.
Kitt:
You're cute.
.
I smile at his response. Of course, Yu is always watching my every move. She scrunches her nose in annoyance while we watch a series together.
"Smiling so much. Hmph"
"P" Kitt is nice. He even said to invite you to dinner, and he'll treat us."
"Praising him a lot, huh? You must regret breaking up with him."
"Of course, but I can't help it. I like you more."
"Well, now I really want to meet him. He was my ex fiancée, you know.
"Don't tease me."
"Can you tell when I'm teasing? Hehe, I like seeing you get possessive."
Yu puts her legs over my lap and rests her head on my shoulder. She looks like a little kid sitting on her dad's tap, watching TV.
"By the way, have you talked to your mom yet?"
I sigh at this since our argument, I haven't been home. Even though a week has passed, which included Sunday, I still haven't gone to see my mom. It's like I'm protesting, waiting for her to call and apologize first.
Sometimes. I can be so childish
"Not yet. I know it won't go well if I go back."
"Have you tried talking you need to understand her. This kind of thing hurts if it happens to someone close"
I know that, but I just don't want to go back and argue with her. It always ends in anger. Even my usually calm dad lost his temper with her that day.
"I'll try to talk to her, but not anytime soon"
"We knew from the start it wouldn't be easy. Even you took a while to accept the truth and even fired me once"
"Why are you defending my mom so much today?"
"I don't want you to have problems with your family. You haven't even met my family yet.
I straighten up, feeling a bit uneasy Yu, noticing my reaction, gently rubs my arm to comfort me.
"Is your family strict?"
"Probably as strict as yours. I've already hinted to them that I have a girlfriend"
"And what did they say?"
"They didn't accept it. They keep bringing up P' Kitt. What's so great about him?"
Yu makes a face like she's chewing something bitter. I start to feel insecure, realizing I might be compared to P' Kitt by Yu's family.
"But when I think about it. P' Kitt is perfect. I can't compete with him at all."
