A Thorny Threat

[Johan's POV]

"So what's the difference?"

"The difference is... A loyal person," Jerome started and raised his left hand as if he's holding an invisible ball. "Even when committed, they still get attracted to other people. But they won't step out of their bounds, because at the end of the day, they know where their heart belongs to."

Johan crossed his arms across his chest. "Okay? Fair point. How about a faithful person?"

Jerome raised his right hand and stared at him. "They're stick-to-one. They don't get attracted to others. Their sight is exclusive only to the person they love."

Amused, Johan leaned his back to the window's metal frame. "So you're a loyal type? Is that what you're trying to say?"

"Yes, I am," Jerome proudly said, an infectious smile across his lips.

"Do you always tell that to every stranger you met on the bus?"

"Only when people asked. You're the first one to ask me, actually."
