"How did you find that out, exactly?"
James put both hands on the table as he leaned forward. On his cousin, he fixed his gaze. "Because I've liked Kim for a long time, but she never picked me,"
Din rolled his eyes. "Obviously. Everyone was aware of your feelings for her, James, because they were so obvious.
"Even Kim?"
"Especially Kim. She was the first to find out, and she kept trying to get closer to me to show you that she doesn't want you. James, she never brought it up because she didn't want you to feel embarrassed if she declined your request for a date." Din got up from the chair. He approached the water dispenser. "Iced water?" When James nodded, he set the cup of iced water in front of him.
"Kim can't do this," Din said as he reclined his chair. "She just can't. She is a very nice girl."
