章 25: Cloud 9
I invited Arthur to sit with me. He didn't seem to care much then sat on my left side. Ever since I met him a few weeks ago, I wondered if he was a good speaker. He barely spoke but seemed very observant.
At first, I didn't know how further will I stay like that and not say a word.
It was late morning, and the sun was covered by lovely rain clouds. Its rays barely touched the ground, and a very cold breeze danced through the air, and the sunflowers faced Earth.
He did not seem like someone who wanted to speak, but it kept on bothering me that he was not speaking. Then I also was afraid of offending him with my talkative self. A side that I keep closed in such mornings. A side that only Jong Hyun, Ain, and Jee had seen.

.
It was no longer late morning and no more cloud covered the sky. Nine birds sang with one voice that only we could hear. Purely with their voices the sun appeared. Li Jun stood and smiled at the sunflowers.
"Arthur, the sun is out, I'm going in now. I was thinking of visiting town later this afternoon and take Jong Hyun with me, but he's still sleeping. Would you like to join me? "
that was the second time Li Jun invited me to be by his side. He spoke along with nine birds.
