Number 7
When K met T again, once again he felt very much at ease. He didn't feel pressured or anything. He enjoyed himself thoroughly, going to dinner with T is like a breeze, time flies past before they know it. K and T had the most awesome chemistry that any couple could have. Never once did they ran out of words to say. Never once did anything happen that could affect their day. Thery were a couple that were destined to be together. But K knows that he has a gf, and he decided this was going to be the last time that he was going to meet T before things became too late to handle.
So he thought, ok, let me take a picture with her, and let that be the memory and it shall end here. And so K brought T to take a neoprint, and alas! The print turned out a little distorted. To this day, K still keeps the distorted pic, it looked pretty cute with K's face puffed up... And so K took a picture with T, and then sent her home... on the way home... K could feel that T wanted to say something... T wanted to tell him something, he knew it... but he didn't probe. T lived some distance away from her mrt station, but there was no bus so often T walked home from the mrt. And that day, K walked her home. It was a 15 min walk, but T and K was silent for the whole journey. K knew T wanted to speak, he asked "whatdo u have to say to me? But T kept quiet. T said "nothing, nothing" And so K sent her to her doorstep... and said "haha u live here? Finally I got the chance to send u home... remember that day when we had the project to do? I didn't want to send u home that time..."
And T said "Thank u very much for sending me, I got to go now, it's really late" And bade goodbye to K. It was about 10pm at that time. And so K went back to school. He had an ECA camp that night. He didn't page T or anything after he left, and just thought that the night would pass wasily, but it didn't. Although he had stuff to do during his ECA, he saw a page, it was T's number. K wanted to call her to ask what issit, but he had work to do. (he was part of the organising comittee.) and so he called her only around 12am.
When K called T, T was speaking in tattered words. For the first time since they started talking on the phone, it was the first time T's voice was like that. K asked "why did u page me? is anything the matter?" T replied "Um.. er... " she couldn't get it out of her throat. K was in a rush. He had to do some work then, and so he said "quick, I need to do something" and T suddenly blurted out "I like u"
K was stunned. He didn't know what to say. He knew that from that moment, things were never going to be the same again. K remembered that he had things to do, and he put down the phone abruptly... "Hey, I have got things to do now, call u another time" and he put down the phone. He went to do his stuff as the juniors were preparing for their activity. But in his head, he kept thinking, what was he going to do now??
On the side of T, after confessing to K that she likes him, she didn't do anthing. She couldn't sleep, and all she could do was to wait for K to call her again. She waited. One hour, and a few more minutes.. finally at 1.30 she called K again. K didn't have a handphone at that time, but his friend has one, which was on promotion and was free, and so K borrowed it, and began talking to T...
