"Are you happy?"

"Of course, I am."

"Prove it."

He didn't know how. But still, he smiled.

"Stop."

Taufan looked confused.

"You told me to prove it, so I did."

"Stop lying, Taufan."

"I am not lying, Gem. I am happy."

"Stop it. You're not. I can see through you."

Taufan gave him a broken smile.

"I am happy, Gem. I'm happy seeing you all smile and laugh."

"But you're not."

"I am."

"That's not what I meant and you know it."

Taufan let out a small laugh.

"No need to let them know that."

"You don't have to fake a smile all the time, Taufan."

"I had to, Gem. They had enough problems. I don't need to add to it."
