Chapter 274 Losing his BFF? (1/2)
”Team Zero?” Kyle repeated, still reeling in from the surprise.
”Yes. You know, your so-called Elite Team. I mean, yeah, they are your Elite Team but it's so obvious that they're much more than what you said they were,” Xing Han replied.
Kyle took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He looked at Xing Han seriously and those dark hazel eyes stared back at him, unperturbed.
”Not here,” Kyle said finally as he called for the bill.
Xing Han watched as Kyle paid the bill, feeling excited as he thought of what Kyle would be telling him. This had been something he had been wondering about ever since the lift accident, but he never had the guts to ask.
BFF or not, there were things he knew Kyle didn't tell him. That wasn't such a big deal since being BFFs didn't mean one needed to share every single thing. He figured that Kyle would tell him one day but honestly, as time went on ... he was slowly losing that confidence.
Perhaps the doubt began when Sam became Kyle's PA. The more Sam worked with him, the more there seemed to be this 'secret communication' and connection between the two that Xing Han couldn't understand. Or be a part of.
It ate up at him slowly and his desire to be by Kyle's side intensified.
He felt like he was slowly losing ground as Kyle's BFF. No, not so much losing ground but that Kyle was slowly drifting away from him. Kyle was already improving so fast that it felt like he had strapped himself on a rocket and was zooming away; while he, Xing Han, was struggling to catch up.
Xing Han wasn't a fool.
He knew comparing himself to Kyle was simply asking for trouble. He could use Kyle as a benchmark, and as a person to strive to be - but not as one to beat. People may think lowly of him for thinking that, but Xing Han was a realist. No matter how hard he worked, he wouldn't be able to catch up.
He is who he is. He is not Kyle. He will pave his own path, his own way. He will be the best in what he does so that he can stand beside Kyle with pride (though he knew Kyle would never look down on him, no matter what).
However, this wasn't about being successful.
This was about the bond that they shared. The more he realised that Kyle was keeping things from him, the more he felt like he was losing his friend. No, losing his BFF.
They would always be friends, but he was deathly afraid of losing Kyle as his BFF. People change, right? People drift apart, right? People get busy and lose touch, right?
Xing Han never wanted that to ever happen. So when Kyle finally popped the question and showed his willingness to share, Xing Han pounced on it.

Why waste this opportunity, right?
Right now, as he followed Kyle out of the restaurant, he could see that Kyle wasn't being the normal 'Kyle'. He wasn't carefree and playful, but was actually serious. Almost as serious as when he was working. The whole atmosphere appeared heavy.
