In My Desperate Time

The owner of your restaurant greets us warmly when he sees us.
"Welcome. You two are really loyal fans of my restaurant, aren't you? I have you guys here often all these years."
I smile at the owner and sit down with Frances at the door.
I frown and whisper to Frances, "Why do you bring me here? I've no appetite."
Only now do I realize that it is noon, and I am indeed a little hungry.
So, when the owner comes to take the orders, I order a fried rice.
Frances orders the same.
"We're here to see if it can help you remember."
Frances stares into my eyes and smiles meaningfully.
Damn it! He just won't tell me!
I ignore him and pour a cup of tea for myself.
Suddenly, Frances starts to speak.
"Don't you remember that you had chased me?"
I am startled and the water in my mouth sprays onto Frances’ face.
Frances' face darkened right away.
Holy crap! I'm screwed!
But that's not my fault.
His words are so shocking!
Frances suppresses his anger as he wipes the water off his face with a napkin.
"Even if you don't remember, you don't have to do this to me."

I purse my lips and say, "Hey, it's not my fault. You're the one talking nonsense, OK? How come I used to chase you?"
He smiles helplessly and says to me, "When you were in junior high school, did you chase a boy in high school and give him a
bottle of ... Viagra?"
Speaking of it, Frances blushes slightly.
This is the first time I've ever seen Frances blush.
Memories also surge up in my mind.
I remember it when he mentioned Viagra.
That damn embarrassing memory.
Back then all my friends were hooligans and they always did things in their hooligan way.
One day, when I walked by the high school department, I saw a handsome boy with an indifferent and noble temperament.
Although I didn't know much about love at that time, I couldn't help but want to have him as my boyfriend.
I told one of my friends about it, and it soon was spread among my friends.
They found the boy for me and told me that the boy was a senior student in high school department. He was handsome and was
an excellent student. Most importantly, he hadn't had a girlfriend.
Suddenly my heart rippled and wanted to have a try.
So, with the encouragement of all my friends, I went to confess to that boy.
But one should bring some gift when they confess. I asked a bunch of friends, and they told me that if I cared about a man, I
should start from his body.
And it suddenly hit me that the advertisement had said that Viagra was good for men.
So I stopped the boy one day after school. I gave him a bottle of Viagra and asked him to be my boyfriend.
The boy was obviously surprised. And I ran away because of shyness.

Afterwards, I was mocked by a group of friends for a long time because of the Viagra. And that was why I had never showed up
in the high school department again.
This memory was so embarrassing that I chose to shield it.
Now that Frances suddenly brings it up...
I gulp with nervousness and look at Frances with a sad face. "You are not saying that you are that boy, aren't you?"
