“Lin?” Kon furrowed his brows. “Lin!” He rushed over to where Lin was and enveloped him in a hug.
Lin didn't reciprocate the hug. He stood like a statue.
“What's wrong?” Kon furrowed his brows. He broke from the hug and faced Lin.
“Nothing.” Lin forced a smile.
“It's not 'nothing' Lin. I can't count how many times I visited your house, and your mother told me you were not around.
Did I do anything wrong, Lin?”
“No.” Lin grinned. “I was busy.”
“For more than a month? You missed classes because you were busy?” Kon furrowed his brows at his best friend.
“No, it's just—”
“Mom.” Toto held Kon's hand. “Who's he?” She nodded at Lin.
“Mom?” Lin's eyes dramatically widened. “What's she talking about? Who's she?”
“Oh,” Kon nervously chuckled. “This is Toto. Toto, this is Lin. He's my best friend.” Kon introduced them.
“I'm pleased to meet you, uncle Lin!” Toto stretched her hand out for a shake.
