Burning Red

I am only me when I am with you

Nick POV

Early June's whether in Taipei is nothing but hot and humid with mercury hit 32 degrees almost everyday. I drove my car to Shilin District, today,  me, Patrick, Zach and Fandy have a filming schedule for variety show in one of fishing pond around there. When I arrived, three of them were already happily chatting while holding an ice cream in their hand. Fandy saw me coming and waving his hand, attracted the other two's attention. Patrick smiling and naturally extending his hand to grab mine. Zach eyes movement following Patrick's hand, and honestly that's makes me anxious but fortunately he then averting his gaze on Fandy that asked him to go to meet the director. Patrick tighten his grip on mine once the other two were leaving us alone.

"I miss you" He muttered softly. I nodded while smiling. I couldn't do more than that considering that so many people around us. He released my hand after some more seconds and offering me an ice cream. I took the ice cream from his hand and start to devour it happily.

"Man.. today is really hot! I almost got myself burned under the sun while walking from the parking lot to this place."

"Why don't you call me when you arrived? I can come to the parking lot and carrying you on my back." Patrick answered me while laughing. I just sneered at his answer and keep enjoying my ice cream. Patrick looking at me with unreadable expression, I tried to ignored him but suddenly he grab my hand and snatched the ice cream on my hand.

"Stop licking this ice cream. It's not good for your health. "

"Are you mad! why do you take my ice cream, give it back!" I snapped at him

"Better you drink some water if you are thirsty!" Patrick ignoring my protest and walk away from me. WHAT THE H!!! what's wrong with him?!

Several filming crew that standing not far from us laugh and some of the girls whispering and chuckling. Well, I am getting used that lot of girls shipping me and Patrick, and deep down in my heart I want to scream and let them know that  Shih Patrick is indeed belong to me!!

Not long after Patrick come back together with Zach and Fandy who bring a fishing rod on their hand. I try to send a "dagger" stare toward Patrick, but he just ignoring me and keep busy talking with one of the host.

"Do any of you know how to do shrimp fishing?" One of the host asked. I just grinning at his question and Fandy frantically shaking his head.

"I know how to do it, I used to go to the indoor fishing pond with my Dad. " Said Patrick. All of eyes in the room staring at him in awe. He never tell me about it, so how many things among his "list of ability to do something" that I don't know? T.T

"Really?!! nowadays not many young people interest in this kind of activities. You are really something Pat! " Said the older host. Patrick smiled at him.

"He just don't have many friend to hang out, that's why he spent most of his time to play with the elderly." Zach teased him. But, well.. Patrick is not himself  if he could not talk back to defend himself.

"I spent most of my time with you, means you are the old person."

That is my boy! haha.. I bet Zach gonna sulking a whole week, because recently we keep teased and called him old person. He tried to "drag" me into his "elderly circle" several times by saying that I am as old as him, but well.. I may almost as old as him, but no one can deny that I looks like someone in his early twenties, right? hahahaha

"Do you want me to find some mosquito repellent? " Patrick asked me between the breaking time. I shook my head and smiling to assuring him that I am ok.
