KENG

Keng: warm and sincere You work so hard. Let me take you home. Namping: shakes his head politely It’s okay. I’ve walked all my life — I’m used to it. Keng: soft but firm I know you’re strong, but that doesn’t mean you have to carry everything alone. Namping: looks away quietly I grew up with very little… I’m not used to nice things or being treated well. It feels wrong somehow. Keng: smiles gently Nothing is wrong. To me, you deserve every comfort and respect. I want to treat you like a prince — not because I pity you, but because you are worth it. And remember: you still hold the lead. I only want to cherish you. Namping: relaxes slightly, voice softer …Only if you promise not to make me feel like I owe you anything. Keng: assures him Never. You are more precious than all my wealth.
