5 Chapter:5- The Truth I Should Have Said.

(Mint POV)

(Few minutes before the earthquake.)

"Is this the person you have mentioned in your words, is somehow his name is Martin?"

I was shocked, my face rapidly turned from curiosity to completely silent pale looks. I turned my face straight with parallel to Han's at first, then looking and gazing at him continuously, shaking my eyes a little, my mind was full of the questioning thoughts, like how he guessed? moreover, How did he knew about the person whom am I talking about? I was like a frozen human who has still some conscious left in his body but still can't able to do anything like a tree standing on the ground. I was continued with my eyes staring at him directly. it was continued for sometimes. at last, I break my silence and I asked him.

"How did you guessed?"

"ah! never mind."

"!!!!!!!"

"Isn't it the thing, that the guy you have mentioned is you and the person he likes is Martin. am I guessed it correct?"

He huffed and smile while looking with a complete warmth eye, which was giving a sympathetic aura towards me.

"You like Martin, am I right?"

I got caught in just a few minutes. am I that much of foolish? can't even hide anything properly at all?

oh! God, but whatever happened, it's for good. I think it's the right time to tell him the truth although He guessed it, but, still, he might conclude I'm bisexual or pansexual or maybe demisexual there is a variety of different sexuality in LGBT community.

"don't worry you don't need to explain to me at all. I can understand."

"You do?"

I drag my head down and speak with a very soothing tone.

"Thanks for understanding. and I am sorry for being like this."

"Come one, You don't need to apologise. it's not your fault, and I don't even look it as abnormal or something. it is completely fine with me. I can accept it."

as I was seeing, he knew for a long time. I want to ask him about how much time he has been acknowledging this matter? but before I can speak, he started another statement.

"I didn't say anything when I realised it. I just wanted you to confess. moreover, I already know how hard this is for you to close yourself and act like you never truly be. you aren't looked comfortable enough to breathe Mint."

I was covered my whole face with first shock and then with water.

"I am glad I have a friend like you. Thank you for being my friend."

"Hmm."

he nodded his head while keeping a satisfying happy smile on his face.

"By the way how did you acknowledge?"

"Am I look you like such an idiot that have I never notice you?

I never see you with a girl except for Jasmine and I knew you were never interest in her. you never try to get up with any girl and never accept any other girl confession seriously. did you think your excuses like 'not having time for relationships just because of your studies and only heir for businesses handling for your company' make it works for staying single? might be, for most of them cause they didn't know you well. but I'm a friend. I was like with you in your every time.

I realise a way back then about you. but I didn't mention anything cause it's your thing bro. if you aren't comfortable to speak, there must be a reason behind it. so I kept myself silent."

"I don't know how to apologise to you Han. I have been hiding since I was at school. I should have told you before."

"Mint, personally I don't have any gratitude against you for hiding things like this. but still, I want to verify you that we are trustworthy, you don't have to hide anything with friends, at least. we are friends we can accept whatever it is. we may take time to understand things, maybe quite a lot but we never leave you, bro. and if Friends back off who you will rely on. so never lose trust in us."

what a fool I was, I always judge people through the old social thoughts might be I was just trapped within them. so I can't open up enough at least with the people I feel completely comfortable. I.e friends.

"At last I just want to make sure you feel complete freedom within us. ok, from now on please be open, I can't see you suffocate more, breath completely."

that was a great conversation with him. it let me understand, the people I love cares for me more then I can ever imagine. they are with me at any circumstance, and the most important thing, they never judge me for who I am. I guess so.

I promise I'll tell my faithful friends about myself.

"Ok, anything more bothering you brother?"

"No,"

I smiled. and take my sip of coffee. while thinking of how fool I was. ah! I might take time to open up to my friends completely. things might be changed or may remain similar, I don't know. but I have to at least make an effort.

"Hey did you feel that?"

"what?"

Han stated that he feels something. but as soon as he can state that, I noticed that the coffee on the cup on the table. I discovered a sense of a little bit of vibration happening inside it. I thought it was happened due to applied sudden strike on the table by my leg. but, as soon as I noticed. I quickly grab Han's hand and drag him under the table with me.
