Fortunately, the previous incident eased the awkwardness of the topic of his figure.
I tried to focus on eating and pretend to know nothing, but Dhruvin suddenly said, "I can understand having a perky butt, which indicates well-developed glutes, but does having a high or low nose have any direct correlation with certain abilities?"
I choked.
"We're just talking nonsense..."
"Oh." Dhruvin nodded and then asked after a while, "They said you are 'coveting my body'. Does that mean you are very interested in my body?"
"Dhruvin, I was wrong!" I begged for forgiveness. "Please don't ask me for more details."
"I'm just asking." Dhruvin lowered his head and ate the meal.
But the dining table was only quiet for a few seconds before he asked again. "Did you cut off all your romantic relationships for me?"
After answering two awkward questions, I reflexively became vigilant upon hearing his voice, but this question was much easier to answer than the previous two.
