Present Day
Yang's POV
"I better get back to work.." Siew Li patted Jun's shoulder, gently before she walked towards me instead of through the other door, which would have taken her straight to the counter.
She winked at me, "talk to him.." she whispered to me as she walked by.
I frowned. Then I looked at Jun who was looking very nervous, fidgeting on his feet.
"Jun..?" I called out to him. He met my eyes, almost reluctantly then he said, "You're not busy at the moment..? Let's sit down for a while then..I...I have something to tell you.."
Ever since I found out that my young lover of three years, doubted my feelings for him, I started to have this fear for our relationship. I always thought that we were pretty solid. I thought that there's nothing that I didn't know about him. It was quiet a devastating shock, learning that he actually thought I was still in love with Dayu all these years.
When he's like this; I really couldn't put my mind at ease. What was bothering him, now? Or has his doubts suddenly return?
My heart was pounding as I sat down next to him on the couch.
Jun really looked nervous, and he's making me twice as nervous because of it.
"Uhm.." He looked at me, "I was thinking of taking the college entrance exam.."
For a second or two I blinked, a little confused because I hadn't expected Jun to to talk about that.
"That's awesome..!" I gasped in relief, "for a moment there..you got me worried...I thought, you were thinking about something weird again.." I muttered, as I pulled him to me and planted a kiss on his mouth.
"Hey..! Wait..!" Jun pushed me away, looking at me in shock, "what's wrong with you? This isn't like you, Mr model worker." Jun put his hands on my chest, holding me off, as I tried to kiss him again, "What are you doing! Yang..! Seriously, stop! If Uncle Tsang saw this, he would faint!"
I stopped trying to kiss him, when I saw how flustered he was. Yes, I had always been a model worker. Even though Jun and I were lovers, and that everybody in the cafe knew that, we never displayed our relationship too openly. We exchanged looks and smiles from time to time but that's all. I didn't want to appear too clingy to him. I thought, Jun would be more comfortable with that situation. Now, I wasn't so sure anymore. What if my actions (or lack of it) made Jun thought that my feelings for him were only mediocre?
"He would not faint..We were only doing what lovers normally do.." I said, not trying to kiss him anymore but I still kept his hands clasped in mine.
Jun frowned, looking at me in shock over my words, "you're strange..lately.." he muttered. I merely shrugged. I was only trying to show him that we were indeed lovers and that I love him very much and I was crazy for him.
"Now..." I pulled myself together to be serious again, "there's still something else right..? Something that you're going to tell me..?" Jun had been dazed all day. It's not only the fact that he's going to take his college entrance exam that was bothering him.
"Well..It's still about that actually.." Jun too became serious, looking at me head on, "if I go to college..There's every possibility that I will have to live at a dorm.."
Strangely, that never occurred to me at all. Yes, Jun's right. He would be living at a dorm and that meant, we would have to be separated. For four years.
"Well.. It would not be something that I prefer...But..There's no helping it..You could come home on weekends, maybe once or twice a month...Or I could visit you..." I was already imagining it, and I knew that it could be done, "and you would be home during the school break holiday..."
