Third Person POV

"You didn't come for a week, and I never asked you for your number. I thought... I thought something happened, or maybe the bullies did something, and yea. So I asked the phi who helped us with the bullies to get your address from college records. I know I should've just asked for your phone number instead, but I just wanted to see if you were okay. I know you must have found me ode creepy now since I just popped out of nowhere. I swear, I was gonna leave, but then your aunt opened the door, and I panicked and lied. Fuck, even I find myself creepy. And then the professor yelled at me for zoning out in class yesterday," Yong blabbered as he avoided Jiew's gaze.

Jiew was trying so hard to stifle his laugh as he watched the big man turn redder with every passing minute. Jiew also found his dimples cute as Yong pressed his lips together to stop himself from saying more. Jiew quickly faked a serious face when he saw Yong look up.

Not hearing anything from Jiew, Yong continued speaking, "I should go now. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable. I don't know why my dumbass thought it was okay to just turn up at your house out of nowhere."

Disappointed that Jiew didn't stop him, Yong confirmed his doubt that he surely did creep out the chick this time. Devastated, Yong turned around to leave.

As he took a step towards the door, he heard, "Awww, Mr.Woodman missed me?"

Yong quickly turned back to face Jiew. Not even able to deny like he used to, Yong pouted and shyly nodded, "Yea, I lowkey did."

Jiew couldn't help but smile at Yong's confession.

Shortly after, Jiew asked, "You wanna stay for dinner?"

Yong was setting up the dining table with the food Jiew's aunt left. Since Jiew was still sick, Jiew instructed Yong where everything was, as he snuggled in a blanket, waiting for Yong to finish setting the table.

When they started digging in, Yong asked, "You really not creeped out?"

Jiew briefly looked up and smiled, "Not gonna lie, when I saw you in my bedroom, I was lowkey creeped out. But then I don't know. Maybe cuz I feel like you won't do anything to me. I mean you look like Tim Woodman on the outside, but feel like you're a soft bear on the inside."
