"There is something different about you, right now. I can't put my finger on it but I am totally sensing it. Care to share it with me?" Eric asked him, after tending to the formalities.
Hui looked at him, debating inwardly for a few moments. Finally, he took a leap of faith. It wasn't as if he had anyone else to turn to help for, anyways!!
"Teach me… teach me how to do it," he said.
Eric looked at him in disbelief. What was Hui asking him to teach him? It couldn't be that… right?
He recovered quickly from the shock and smiled happily. He started to reply, but Hui interrupted him, "by THIS, I don't mean that you teach me how to dress nattily, talk glibly…"
"Don't teach me how to impress her, but how to understand her, how to make sure that I don't hurt her in the future, and if possible… how to make her like me," he uttered the last bit almost shyly.
