"Huh?" Tetsuya uttered from the entrance. He had just walked into the house.
Jun snapped his head around. He saw Tetsuya and turned back around to cover his face with his hands.
"Did you hear?" Jun asked.
Tetsuya stammered, "No…. Yeah…. Did you say… waiter?"
Jun sighed. "Yes."
I didn't understand why he was so embarrassed by Tetsuya knowing about it too. He felt comfortable enough to tell Sachiko, Kyōko, and me, but not Tetsuya? They used to be so close while Jun and I were dating in high school.
Tetsuya said, "I didn't know you…. I mean, that's great. Good for you."
"You're making it more awkward," replied Jun.
"I know."
Tetsuya approached Jun and placed his hand on his shoulder to shake it.
"Hey, I won't judge you or anything," said Tetsuya. "I'm happy for you, really."
"Thanks."
