Chapter 786 - Settling his Thoughts (2/2)
Nothing could change that.
Only time would.
He had been so confused, really.
Swinging one way to the other.
One the one hand, he wanted to forget her and be out of her hair. On the other hand, he wanted her to notice him and view him as a man.
But he had been looking at this the wrong way all this time.
With that change in mindset, he found a huge burden being lifted off his shoulders. It wasn't that he stopped feeling nervous or self-conscious around Kay, but he found that he could act more naturally around her now.
He could be himself, albeit, a goofy-star-struck teen boy crushing over a Goddess … but at least, he wasn't so wooden or weirded out most of the time.
He finally could accept the fact that he had feelings for Kay. Feelings that grew from due to her loving and kind nature when he was going through the deepest grief ever.
However, he also knew that there could not be any real relationship born out of intense experiences. Sandra Bullock said it herself, in the movie Speed with Keanu Reaves. He thought that was rather true, too - more so at this moment.
Accepting his feelings and knowing that nothing would come out of it also gave him a sense of relief, even if it did make him sad.
Shaking the last of the negative thoughts out of his mind, he could finally smile brightly at Kay who had reached them.
Kay, who was at the receiving end of that suddenly bright smile, found her throat extremely dry.
Is this what other girls felt whenever Kyle hit them with his Million-Dollar-Watt-Smile?
She had never been affected before and had even pitied the girls who were so bedazzled by her brother.
Now, that was biting her in the b.u.t.t.
It was true what they say.
When you make fun of someone for something that they did, then sooner or later, you would make the mistake, too.
When you fail to be empathetic towards someone and how they act, you may very well be in the same situation and make the same 'mistake', making you finally realise why it could happen or why that choice was made.
And right now, her heart was making somersaults just because he smiled.
Damn, but that smile was lethal.
They spent the whole day at the amus.e.m.e.nt park.
Kay was glad that whatever it was that made Joseph rather moody earlier, was gone. He was being the sweet, wonderful boy that she had gotten to know back in Country M.
He was polite and attentive, catering to their needs like a gentleman.
He laughed a lot, his eyes sparkling as he saw things that made him excited.
The thing that surprised her the most, however, was what he had been doing since coming to Country Tz.
He hadn't been joking when he said that his TokTik was popular.
When she found his TokTik account, she was amazed at the amount of followers that he had - which was still growing.
Kay knew that it wasn't easy to get followers in TokTik.
Joseph's videos were basically just him exercising and then finishing it with a dance move while exercising.
Each of his videos had the hashtag dancercizejoey. It was basically a combination of exercise and dancing. He would also give some tips and warnings edited in a fun way in the video.
It is said that to get a lot of followers, a few things were needed such as original content, to update daily and so forth. In fact, a video was just uploaded even though he had been spending the entire day here.
He was really that dedicated to ensuring daily updates?
He must have created several in advance just so he could post one video a day even though he was away. Just how long had he taken to do all of that, and the editing?
Kay didn't ask him, though.
If she did, he would know that she was following him and viewing his videos. Somehow, she just didn't want him to know.
Let it be her little secret … guilty p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, so to speak.
Since they would be separating in the future, having this little piece of him for her to see all the time made her feel better.
She could understand the need Kyle's fans had for his Insta account. She knew it was important to them then, and she had helped in putting it up but she couldn't really understand why they needed it.
Now, she did.
