Chapter 38

Theodore felt his heart sink upon hearing another man's name from Yuri's mouth.

'It wasn't me that he was waiting for. He was waiting for someone else,' he thought as he swallowed hard and controlled his breathing to remain his composure.

"Uh... Hey," Theodore awkwardly smiled as he slowly walked towards Yuri's bed. "Are you feeling better now?" he continued as he placed the paper bag on the floor and sat on the chair next to Yuri's bed.

Yuri stared at Theodore, watching how his facial expression changes a little from time to time and how his eyes are avoiding his. "Better than the last two days," Yuri responded.

An awkward silence filled the entire room.

The two of them didn't know how to talk to each other normally, because the normal way they talked to each other is by throwing insults at one another. It felt as if they just met for the first time that they found it awkward to open up a topic.

"And you? How are you?" Yuri asked as he played with his fingers.
