Ignorance is bliss..only when you are ignorant

So Devon really had no appetite after that incident but he still made both himself and Lyn eat for he knows that food is important and that food is love, food is live. Seeing Lyn only ate a few grain of rice today and not gobbling down bowls of food like usual, Devon knew something was off.

"Are you not eating much because of...what happened just now?"

was what Devon wanted to ask but he knew that he'll make things more awkward and uncomfortable than it already is. Moreover, he will also feel embarrassed and blame himself for barging in like that.

So instead, he asked,

"Are you not hungry?"

Instead of responding with words, Lyn shook her head.

Devon of course frowned. No matter how bad of an appetite one have, it's still bad to skip meals.

To make her eat, Devon picked up his chopsticks and stuffed spoonful of food from different dishes - meat, veggies, fish, soup.. you name it, he have it!

"Ahh thanks but that's enough. You should take for yourself too"

saying that, Lyn immediately return his favour and put even more food into his already filled with food bowl. Yet, Lyn did not eat much after that. She just looked down and nibbled a small mouthful of food.

Devon can't help but also follow her gaze, and that's when he saw something he shouldn't..

Dear lord..

What did I just see?!

Although Devon only saw two points protruding out, he could obviously infer that Lyn..

Did. Not. Wear. A. Bra!

What's more, the first to discover that was not Lyn herself but Devon!

This..!

As much as Devon tried to pretend that nothing had happened, his face still flushed a little red, his body temperature gradually but surely rising although the air con was on at the coolest temperature.

That..should I tell her or not?

As Devon pondered with himself, he forced down spoonfuls of food that Lyn took for him although he wasn't hungry the slightest bit and his usual appetite was already not as good as Lyn's. While eating, he hung his head low in shame like how Lyn did just now upon seeing his..you know what.

He finally got a plan to tell her about it without making the situation more awkward (or so he thought) and get her to eat more. Since Lyn forced him to eat before although he did not want to eat, he decided to copy what she did to him previously in chapter 6 to get a mini revenge.

"Eh, why are you eating so little? Oh! Are you on a diet???"

Cocking his head to one side, he questioned excitedly, ignoring the previous incident that happened although he kinda knew that Lyn's appetite was ruined partly because of him

Before Lyn could reply, Devon continued on

"You know, food is very important! No matter how you want to make yourself slimmer, you should not go on a diet! If you wanna lose weight, exercise more! Although I think your body already looks fine.. Anyway, how can you eat so little? Look at you! Tsk Tsk.. Already so thin still wanna go on a diet.."

He even nagged at least double the amount of nagging Lyn gave him previously.

This infuriated Lyn, converting all awkwardness and embarrassment to irritation and anger.

Lyn: This jerk! How could he just act like everything is fine and things are totally not awkward at all? Does he not know that I lost my appetite cause of him?! And why does what he says sound so familiar..?

Before Lyn could recall what's so familiar about Devon's lines, he started nagging again!

"Hey don't be mad. I'm just saying this for your own good! You might not like what I say but I still have to, it is after all, for your own good. next time-"

Geez! What has the world come to? Nowadays, men are getting naggier and naggier. And to think I thought that my mum was naggy! Comparing the two of them, Devon is better at nagging (and that's not even a compliment). My mum is nothing compared to him! I think I should appreciate my mum instead.

"ARGHH OKAY OKAY YOU WIN! I'LL EAT!" Lyn seriously couldn't stand his nagging anymore and just forced herself to eat to stop Devon from nagging

Seeing that his plan worked, a smile flashed across Devon's face for a second or two before changing back to his usual demeanour. Seeing Lyn eat was naturally a good thing, although she forced herself to in order to stop Devon's nagging, it still made Devon happy. Since it was no longer awkward and Lyn had eaten more, Devon's appetite also improved.

Sensing that the mood became lively and comfortable again, Devon thought that it's a good time to tell Lyn that she did not wear her bra..right?

"Um..Lyn?"

"Huh?"

"Uhh... you.. You.. I can see that you are not wearing your bra.." Telling Lyn made the usual eloquent Devon hesitate and broke into buckets of sweat although he always gave off an icy cold aura. To hide his nervousness and embarrassment, Devon gulped down a bottle of water.

"Ah that? Oops I forgot but who cares? The weather was too hot!" Lyn answered casually like it was okay to not wear her bra.

But, it was not okay for Devon! He is, after all, a guy!

Wait what did I just say?!

Lyn froze after realising that she felt too comfortable at his house that she just acted like how she would at her own home, without realising that she cannot behave like that in front of a guy. Although they are quite close its still..not right. Moreover, its not like Devon was her family or anything..

Having Devon be the one to tell her about without her even knowing..

It's just.. too embarrassing!

Great, just great!

Just as Lyn thought the awkwardness between us have been resolved, this had to happen, making Lyn feel so embarrassed and ashamed that she really want to dig out the whole of earth and hide away from Devon. Moreover the thought of how she answered Devon.. Lyn didn't even want to remember! Every word she said was like a slap across her face.

AHHHH! WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO?

Lyn was desperate to make Devon forget about this incident..but how?
