REAS was contemplating whether to ask his brother for advice. He wanted to, but at the same time, he didn't want to. He knew that Astrid could probably shed a light on his confusing feelings right now, but he also knew that the other would tease him incessantly because of it. And didn't he already decided that he should figure this on his own and not rely on anyone?
While contemplating that, he didn't notice that Astrid was already done making snacks. The other put a tray with a plate of scallion pancakes and a teapot on the glass table in front of the couch.
"Let's eat some snacks," Astrid said, sitting beside him.
Reas looked at the mouth-watering scallion pancakes and knew that it would be as delicious as it looked. But the fact that he didn't have the appetite to eat it right now showed just how preoccupied he was with his current 'problem'.
He couldn't help the heavy sigh that escaped his lips.
