"Ahm, Hora. Do you know what happens after a kiss?" Verrill asked me.

Hmm… What a weird question. Was something supposed to happen after a kiss?

Confused by where he's going with his question, I answered, "Uuuuhhh… a hug?"

"Pft! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" he burst out laughing.

Now what did I do? Did I say something wrong? Was it supposed to be a joke? I didn't get it though. I tried to laugh with him but ended up laughing awkwardly. I blinked my eyes a couple of times, thinking why in the world was he laughing at me but nothing came to mind. At times like these, it's better to ask.

"Why are you laughing? Did I get it wrong?"
