The next morning.
When I came down to the hotel lobby,
Yixiang was sitting on the sofa by the window.
When he noticed me, he lifted a hand lightly.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning.”
Hehe, he still looks a little sleepy.
An air that somehow feels different from yesterday until now
“Where are we going today?”
“Let’s go get breakfast.”
“Nice, what kind of place?”
“A place I used to go to a lot when I was a student.”
“Huh, I want to go!”
I got into the car.
After driving for a while,
what Yixiang brought me to was
an old-fashioned breakfast shop.
“Here?”
“Yeah.”
“Yixiang, you used to go to places like this?”
“I used to come here a lot when I was a student.”
“Ohhh.”
When we went inside,
the morning atmosphere that felt distinctly Taiwanese spread out before us.
While looking at the menu,
I asked Yixiang,
“What do you recommend?”
“This.”
“Then I’ll have that.”
“Then I’ll have the same thing too.”
The staff quickly made it for us
and watched me as I took my first bite,
with a slightly tense expression.
“Delicious!”
“Really! I’m glad~”
Maybe he felt responsible since he’d recommended it
Yixiang looked relieved.
Apparently, he had a pretty serious side too
and the gap from his usual bright impression made my heart skip
The sky was so nice
it was as if it were welcoming the whole day.
“What do we do after this?”
“Want to go to Huashan?”
“Yay~! I want to go!”
“You seem like you’d like it, Rene.”
“How did you know?”
“Because you’re usually so sensitive”
“What do you mean?”
“You cry and laugh a lot. It’s cute”
He peered into my face, which had turned bright red
with a slightly mischievous smile
“...Then let’s go!”
Whether he was serious or what
he gradually became less merciful
and started teasing me
which somehow throws me off
