Kimmon's POV

"So how are things going?"  I asked Cop after an awkward silence.  I still not dare ask him about the bracelet.

"I'm trying to spend quality time with my mom and sisters coz it's very rare that I get to spend time and bond with them," he answered.

Is this his way of telling me indirectly that I am taking time away from him and his family?  Should I not have invited him to dinner tonight?  I was starting to feel guilty.

"I'm not complaining," he quickly assures me.  "I was looking forward to having this dinner with you tonight," he said.

I let out a sigh of relief.  And then before I lose my confidence, I quickly ask him, "What do you think about those newly released leather braided bracelets with personalized tags?  Have you seen them yet in the online market?"

He looks away before answering, "Yes."

Oh dear, I knew it.  He's feeling pressured.

"I was just wondering,"  I quickly say before he entertains any untoward thoughts.  "I just wanted your opinion because I wasn't sure if it was worth the pricey tag."

Copter's POV

The waiter has laid out our food on our table and P'Kim motions for me to start eating.

"Thank you," I said and started to eat.  We ate for a little while in silence and then he asked me how things were going with me.  I told him that I was spending the free time we had with my family.  I noticed a look of concern and guilt on his face so I hastened to reassure him that this dinner meeting with him was something I had been looking forward to.

I see his troubled look dissipate and then suddenly he asks me, "Nong, what do you think about those newly released leather braided bracelets with personalized silver or gold tags?"

I think carefully before giving him my answer.  What if I said I liked them and then he gets one for me?  I had seen them online and they were pretty expensive.  I don't want him gifting me with those pricey presents.  It will make me feel obligated to see him when he asks to meet up with me.

I mean, don't get me wrong.  P'Kim is a nice guy and a good friend.  It's just that I don't know if all his declarations of affection to me are sincere and even if they were I'm not sure what I feel for him.  I just want us to remain good friends at this point in time, and nothing more.
