The car soon arrived near Taipei Station, but the streets of Taipei in the morning were always unusually crowded. Vehicles filled the road, and the busy traffic forced every car to move slowly. In this situation, Brother Jie found himself stuck in a long line of cars, unable to advance for the moment. Surrounding vehicles were packed closely together, and the sound of horns created an incessant cacophony. This environment, combined with the heavy conversation that had taken place earlier, intensified the atmosphere between the two. The awkward silence in the car felt magnified, as if each second stretched on endlessly.
Brother Jie occasionally adjusted the steering wheel, trying to find a slightly clearer route through the slow-moving traffic. His fingers gripped the wheel tightly, his brow furrowed, filled with helplessness and anxiety. Each time he turned the wheel, he would unconsciously glance at Anthon, his eyes revealing concern and helplessness. Brother Jie knew there was nothing he could say to change Anthon's mood at that moment, but he hoped to express his feelings through his actions.
Anthon quietly gazed out the window, his heart filled with complex emotions. The skyscrapers of Taipei appeared particularly clear in the morning light, yet his mood was as murky as the city shrouded in morning mist. His gaze wandered aimlessly; the internal struggle and contradictions made it impossible for him to find peace. He recognized that his earlier words had been too harsh, but he could not suppress the pain and confusion within.
The sense of distance between them seemed even more pronounced; every averted gaze and unintentional touch only heightened the awkwardness. In this busy and tense morning, they shared a car yet remained trapped in their own thoughts, unable to escape this forced proximity. Anthon was overwhelmed with contradictions and confusion; he knew he needed time to sort through his thoughts, but the current situation felt suffocating.
Outside the car window, pedestrians hurried past, and the noise and busyness of the street contrasted sharply with the silence inside. As Anthon observed it all, he couldn't help but reflect on his life and future. He knew he could no longer let emotions dictate his life, yet when faced with Brother Jie, he found it impossible to fully let go of his doubts and anxieties. Every thought of Brother Jie's past actions stirred a pang of bitterness and disappointment within him.
While driving, Brother Jie pondered how to break this silence. His heart was filled with regret and guilt; he understood that his past actions had left Anthon feeling uneasy and confused, yet he didn't know how to make amends. He attempted to find topics to lighten the mood, but each time words formed on his lips, they turned into silent sighs.
"Anthon, I..." Brother Jie finally couldn't hold back any longer and tried to say something to break the silence, but Anthon continued staring out the window without responding. A wave of helplessness washed over Brother Jie; he realized he couldn't easily change Anthon's mood but hoped to convey his sincerity through action.
The car's sound system played low music with a slow and heavy rhythm, mirroring the oppressive atmosphere between them. Brother Jie's mood grew increasingly heavy; he knew he had to respect Anthon's choices, but feelings of loss and pain made it hard for him to remain calm.
Anthon was also filled with complex emotions; he sensed Brother Jie's concern but found it difficult to accept due to his inner conflicts and confusion. He understood that he needed time to process everything, yet the current scene felt overwhelmingly stifling. His fingers clenched tightly on his knees as he tried to use pain to suppress his inner turmoil and unease.
As the car moved slowly forward, Anthon's mood became heavier and more complicated. He knew he needed to confront everything but was unsure how to face Brother Jie and their relationship's future. His heart was filled with confusion and uncertainty; he couldn't find a way out. Each thought of Brother Jie's past actions or that man's words brought forth a twinge of bitterness and disappointment.
Brother Jie looked at Anthon's profile, filled with contradictions and helplessness. He understood that changing Anthon's mood wouldn't be easy but hoped to express his sincerity through action. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he softly said, "Anthon, I truly wish I could make it up to you. I know you need time to digest everything, but I'll always be by your side no matter what happens."
The car continued its slow journey through the crowded streets of Taipei; honks and engine sounds echoed around them, making the silence inside feel particularly stark. Brother Jie adjusted the steering wheel from time to time in search of a slightly clearer path while Anthon remained quietly gazing out the window, burdened by his thoughts.
Suddenly, Brother Jie took a deep breath, deciding to break the heavy silence. He gently turned to Anthon, his voice low yet filled with determination. "Anthon, last night meant a lot to me. I know you may not want to hear this right now, but I have to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Anthon's eyes flickered with surprise and caution, yet he still did not turn to face Brother Jie. His heart was filled with conflict, unsure whether he should listen to these words. However, the sincerity in Brother Jie's voice made it impossible for him to completely ignore.
"Last night, I realized how different you are to me," Brother Jie continued, his gaze focused ahead, his tone carrying an unprecedented seriousness. "I've had one-night stands with many people, but I've never felt like I did last night. You showed me what love is, what it truly means to care and be concerned."
A storm of emotions surged within Anthon; he felt Brother Jie's sincerity, but the inner conflict and confusion made it hard for him to let go easily. His fingers gripped his knees tightly, trying to suppress the chaos and unease within him through pain.
"Anthon, you made me understand that I don't want to live that casual life anymore," Brother Jie's voice grew even deeper, filled with pleading and sincerity. "I know I've made many mistakes in the past, but I truly hope to make it up to you. I want us to walk further together."
Anthon turned to look at Brother Jie, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He sensed Brother Jie's sincerity, yet the turmoil within him made it difficult to accept easily. A flicker of hesitation and wavering crossed his gaze before he finally spoke softly. "Brother Jie, I know you're sincere, but I really need some time to sort out my thoughts."
Brother Jie nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but more than that was determination. He knew he couldn't change Anthon's feelings overnight, but he would persist and express his intentions through actions.
"I understand, Anthon," Brother Jie said quietly, his tone laced with a touch of helplessness and sincerity. "I'll give you the time and space you need. I hope that one day you'll see my changes."
The atmosphere in the car fell silent once more, but this time there seemed to be a thread of understanding and hope woven into the silence. Anthon's mood remained heavy, yet he felt Brother Jie's sincerity; the internal conflict and confusion began to ease slightly. He knew he needed time to process everything, but he also started to consider that perhaps Brother Jie truly deserved a chance from him.
