Chapter 6 - Trigger

Karl had just finished taking a shower when he saw Andrew standing in front of the window. He was leaning sideways against the glass window with a worried expression that Karl immediately noticed.

“Are you alright?” Karl asked warily as soon as he came towards Andrew. He wrapped his arms around Andrew’s back.

“I’m fine,” Andrew responded, but his voice cannot deny his own emotion. He’s worried and bothered.

Karl suddenly thought of what Sam advised him. He knows that Andrew rarely tells him about what’s on his mind, but just like what Sam told him, there’s nothing wrong if he tells Andrew that it bothers him.

“Andrew…” Karl murmured against Andrew’s head. “Don’t you trust me?” he added that made Andrew turned his body to face Karl.

“What are you talking about?” Andrew asked, pressing his right hand on Karl’s left cheek. He looked at him in the eyes and tried to read him.
