"Chapter 6- Why are you here again?"

Klein stepped out of the house noticing a lavish black car parked in front of their house again, he noticed it wasn't the same man who came that night, the car's window slowly opened down. "good morning, heading to school?" Tristan smiled as he waved at him, 'what the heck?' he just looked at him with annoyance. "why are you here?" Klein asked as he walked towards him, "I just want to drop you off at school," Tristan smiled mocking Klein as if he's still a kid who needs to be dropped off by their parents to school. "I'll walk, I don't want to be seen in that lavish car," he turned around as he starts walking away from him, "I'll pick you up at lunch then!" Tristan teased, Klein groaned in annoyance as he raised his middle finger.

[11:49 am...]

Klein sat on a bench under the tree shade, drinking iced americano while reading a book. 'he seemed to be a smart lad or a book worm,' Tristan stared at him from afar, he stared at him fluttering his long lashes while reading a book, admiring his painting-like-beauty like an audience in a museum.

Klein was disturbed by an unknown gaze, 'who the hell is gazing at me??' he glanced around, looking from place to place, 'it's impossible that a man can gaze at me in a far distance...' it ringed his bell. 'DID HE BROUGHT BINOCULARS JUST TO STARE AT ME?' he starts looking around the possible hiding spot like a grumpy monkey,

"Benj..." Tristan called his secretary. "Yes boss?" he answered, "here take the binoculars, looks like I've been caught, let's go back to the company," Benj took the binoculars as he started driving away.

[6:27 pm...]

"Hello! may I order 5 unlimited beers, orange chicken, and chow mein good for 10 people, please!"

"One more beer please!"

"May I order another soup dumplings,"

'wow... those orders sound good,' Klein's stomach grumbled in hunger, he lifted the dishes to wash them outside. "Hey! Klein, you can go home early today, you've done enough these past few days," the owner offered, "It's fine auntie, I need to work," the woman smacked his head with a wooden spoon. "when I say you can go home early today, I meant go HOME already, you've already done enough!" she scolded as Klein rubbed his neck, "now, now... go home, I can do all of these work with the others, you need rest, you look tired," Klein gladly accepted her offer and thanked her genuinely, "Thank you, Auntie," he waved goodbye and walked away.

"you're going home?" a guy emerged in the shadow whispered in his ear which made him tingle and shock. Klein suddenly slapped the person as hard as he could, he fell on his knees as he backed away from the person,

"DON'T FVCKING SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" he shouted flusteredly rubbing his ear, Tristan chuckled while rubbing his cheek. "WHY ARE YOU HERE AGAIN?" he backed away as Tristan walked towards him. "want to eat dinner together?" he crouched as he talked to Klein, "EXCUSE ME, AFTER U SCA-" his stomach grumbled without giving him a chance to finish his sentence. Tristan laughed, he stood and lend his hand to him, "come on, I know you're starving," Klein groaned in embarrassment and held his hand helplessly.

[7:54 pm...]

"I can't believe someone like you would eat street food," he said before he opened a banana-flavored popsicle from the convenience store. "what do you mean? just because I became rich that doesn't mean I should eat rich also, eating expensive foods nor wearing flashy clothing doesn't define you're rich, for me, those are just a waste of money, because for me eating clean foods and wearing comfortable clothing define you rich in life," he looked at Klein trying to be inspirational, Klein stared at him also while taking a bite of his popsicle. He smiled at Tristan because he finds him inspirational, Tristan looked down to avoid his gaze. "don't ever smile like that to other people," he covered his mouth while avoiding his contact. "you're weird, really weird," he mocked him for being weird,

both of them laughed while walking around the park and looking at the sky.
