"Great, I will have those noodles, until the pork chops will be done!", the late night customer shouted, grabbing the bowl from the counter, not caring that it was, actually, someone else's order.

Uncle Li Jie, the street shop owner, was watching the hungry customer, in awe, but in worry, too.
He was afraid that the young man who was eating, now, the pork chops in the light speed, could choke and die eventually, in his shop.

"Slow down, dear, nobody is chasing you!
Don't worry, I can cook more for you, there are plenty, the only problem would be just for you to have enough money to pay, ha, ha, ha!", the elder laughed.

But his laughter died soon, when the customer started to cough and to hit himself in the chest, from the lack of air.
His fears were coming true after all, the customer was choking for real!

After he hit his back hard and gave him water to drink, the customer finally calmed down.

"Woah, young man, you really scared the hell out of me!
What happened to you, for getting so hungry, especially at such a late hour?", the elder spoke, keep rubbing the customer's back.

"Uncle Li Jie, I wonder if you do remember me.
I am your frequent customer, your pork chops are my favorite and I have never left without paying.
Say, do you remember me?", the man asked, wiping his eyes reddened from coughing and blowing his nose in the paper napkin.

"Yes, I know you, I remember you coming here often, with your girlfriend.
I heard her calling you Bo Bo, if I'm not wrong.
Yes you have always paid, but why are you asking?
Did someone accuse you about something?"

"Oh, that was Seunggie, she is my friend, not my girlfriend.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I live nearby, in that block over there, and...and I forgot my wallet at home.
If I hadn't forgotten my phone, too, I would have called Seung, my friend, to come and bring the money, anyway I have to ask her to take me to her place, overnight...ermm, nevermind...
In short, please let me go back home for the wallet, and don't worry that my intention could be to not pay for the chops.
It will take only a few moments, my block it's very near."

"I♥U", it's not a lie! [boyxboy]✔️Where stories live. Discover now
