“Huh?!” Did he just say my gift? I thought he didn’t take it.

“Yes, I really liked it. Thanks again, P’. Now I have a star named after me.”
He looks really pleased.

“I thought you didn’t accept it.”

“I came back for it before we left. Sad thing is I broke the frame, so I’ll get a new one later.”

“You don’t have to.”

“But why?”

“The authentic certificate will arrive in a month. It’s all yours.”

“Really, P’? Wow! Sounds exciting!”
All the while I thought all my efforts meant nothing. Then, for the second time, I noticed his injured finger. Is it from the shattered frame?

“What happened to your finger?” I ask. “Is it from the broken pieces of the frame?”
He nods. I walk to get near him and see how bad it is.

“Haven’t you changed the bandage yet? You might get infected.” I tell him as I rip off the Band-Aid, and I was right. It hasn’t gotten any better.

“I’m sorry, P’. I forgot.”
Could he be any cuter? Why is he apologizing?

“Stay here and I’ll get the first-aid kit. Don’t move!” I rushed outside to ask someone for the first-aid kit, and somebody handed it over, so I ran back to the dressing room.

“Here it is. I think we’re going to have to cut your finger instead.” I kid around.

“P’, stop scaring me.”

“Well, if you don’t clean it and replace the bandage, it might actually come to that point.”

I sat in front of him and took the small bottle of povidone-iodine and some cotton from the kit.
His eyes grew bigger.

“P’, can we just go with the bandage? I don’t like that.”
He seems afraid as he pulls his hand and hides it behind him.

“No, we can’t. This doesn’t hurt. You won’t feel a thing.” I tell him and reach for his hand.

“Ouch!!!!!!”

“Ha hahaha!” I laugh at his reaction.

“I thought you said it wouldn’t hurt.”

“And you believed me?”

“I sure did.”

“Well, I guess sometimes, we choose to believe what we want to believe even though we already know that we’re going to be hurt.”
Maybe I shouldn’t have said that. Awkward silence.

I have to change the topic. “Where’s P’Tae by the way?”

“Oh he’s with P’Tee. I think they’re headed to our agency.”

“I’ll put extra Band-Aids in your bag, and please don’t forget to replace it, alright?” I tell him after I got finished with his wound.

“Alright, P’.”

“I’ll just give this kit back to them. You want a sandwich?”

“Yes, please P’. I am actually starving as I only had coffee this morning. Can you make it two?”

“Wow! Quite an appetite. Sure! I’ll bring three if you want.”

I head out of the room. On my way to the tent, somebody calls my attention.
