Moving In…

Why are u locked in on this idea all of a sudden?

I want us to be like a traditional Asian family.

Wouldn’t a traditional Asian family mean that we live with your parents?

Older Brother lives with them. Don’t worry about them.

Oh, so because you’re not the first born, you’re not obligated to live with them.

Yeah… plus I’m an international super star I can do whatever I want.

Why? If you are that, would you want to live with little old me and my mother and the senior doggy?

Because they’re our family. I want to embrace them as my own family because you are my family. You are my whole world!

Sigh…

All your imaginations of just the two of us in a luxury apartment, that can still happen. But it might just happen evolutionarilyone day, parents are not here… then it’s just us…

We might have kids?

One day, parents are not here, kids are grown, we’re empty nesters living in a luxury apartment together…

Will we even enjoy it like that at all?

I think we can easily go honeymoon and holiday in places like that anyway. It doesn’t have to be the home base.

Sigh…

I’ll still buy all that property. But we will support your mother emotionally as well. She shouldn’t have to feel lonely when she’s in Australia. We’ll stay near her side when she’s here.

Ummmmm… I don’t remember you being this nice in the past… especially about parents…

In this aspect, I’ve changed. I’ve grown. I think it’s better that we stick around as family members for her.

For you, it won’t even be that many days a year…

Exactly. So why take u out of this home environment? I’ll move in.

Ugh… this isn’t during the dating phase…

No. I’ve still got our house. Our apartment. I might not even formally change addresses. But I can stay with you… (and your Mum when she’s here!)

Okay… then when she’s back in Taiwan?

Then we’re in our house. Our apartment. 

I see…

Does that make more sense now?

A little bit…

Babe, I don’t even have wardrobe space for you…

Lol I don’t need it!

What do u mean…

Frodo Incognito just has the same three black T-shirts and two pairs of jeans. Is there room in your wardrobe for that?

Sigh… I’m sure it’s still more than that but okay…

We’ll coordinate this more realistically after we start dating again…

I wanna be able to fly in, take an uber to the big house. Then, change to my motorcycle and ride to your house. And stay with you (and your Mum). Then when I need to fly out again, I ride to the big house. Pack my other stuff, uber to the airport 🛫

Mmmmm… so it’s like a transition from your Hannah Montana life…

Yeah, a little bit…

Only Frodo Incognito here…

Yes, of course. 

Mum doesn’t even know Fernando. He’s not on her radar.

And she’ll never meet Fernando, not in real life. She’ll only know Frodo as her son-in-law.

Hmmm…

Are we on the same page?

Yeah… sort of… I think I’m 90% there with u on ur current wavelength….

What’s the other 10%?

I don’t know. I’m getting distracted by my sinuses… I need to blow my nose 🤧

Lol… 😏💕

We’ll need to install block out curtains in my room.

I can pay for that.

We’ll need to re-fit the wardrobe, I would rather have it re-designed with more shelves and drawers for you and I to share together.

Okay. I am happy to pay for that!

We’ll need to install a lock on our door. And a small safe. Just for your temporary things.

Thats fine.

You’re paying for all that?

Of course!

What if… you paid my parents rent?

Oh?

Would you be willing to do that?

Yes!

Ahhh. I see 👀

I’m renting the room from your parents. And that’s our room. So we can do whatever we want. And technically have asked the landlord permission to install new locks, block out curtains, etc.

Ummm… yeah… we could think of it that way…

I think… we could install another separation, a divider… in the main foyer… you’ll see what I mean when you get here…

So it basically feels like we’re AirBnb’ing from my parents house. But there’s an actual divider. Like a small fence installed into this house. So there is some sort of separation.

Okay…

But you’re paying for that, not my parents!

Lol… 🥰💕 yes… I can pay…

But if anyone is lurking around these streets…

I’M FRODO INCOGNITO. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO THINK IT’S FERNANDO.

How can you be 100% sure?

To be honest. I can’t be. But I’m feeling 99.99% sure. I really don’t think it will ever happen.

Do you think… in terms of safety… this is actually better for everyone involved?

Yes.

Why?

I’m a visitor. To your home. I’m a guest. Tho technically engaged and married. But my address is NOT your parents’ address.

Okay then you’re not paying rent.

I’m not?

No. You don’t have to pay rent. Just pay for the renovations that are relevant to us. You don’t need to pay rent.

But now I want to.

No! It doesn’t have to be like that!

What else can I contribute to?

Fine. You can buy groceries for Mum when you’re here. You can take out your credit card and be like, “I’ve got this” when we all three go groceries shopping together like a good little Asian family.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 okay… I can do that…

You don’t need to pay for her medical bills or anything like that. That’s too much.

I don’t mind…

Nooooo… 🙅‍♀️ ENOUGH!

Lol… 😏 🎶 Baby, you’re priceless 🎶

Haaaaaaaaa……..

Do u like their new song? U love Lisa…

It’s okay… I haven’t had that much time to pay it much attention…

(Chuckles) 🤭💕

It’s a fun little bop I guess…

Sigh.

Sometimes my mother… doesn’t sleep very well…

Neither do I.

What, so you two will just end up in the living room chatting to each other about life at 2:00 am while me and doggy are asleep in our room?

Lol… 😏 if she can’t sleep and she wants to chat, I don’t mind…

I don’t think she would tho. She might just sit there watching a Korean drama quietly…

Well we can watch together!

You’ll be asleep and me and your mother are in the living room watching Korean dramas quietly… 🍿

Ugh… (I don’t know how to describe my expression right now…)

Is it a good expression?

It’s acceptance… 😏

That’s good…

Mmmm…

Why do you want to… just hang around like that? After all your concerts, fashion shows, Met Gala, whatever other projects? Just to hang around like a regular son-in-law?! And she doesn’t even know Fernando or any of your music or any of that world?

(Giggles) that actually makes me look forward to hanging around even more! Let me just sit with her… in those hours like that… that’ll be our mother-and-son-in-law bonding time!

Over K-dramas?

(Chuckles) yeah. I guess so 🤭

Sigh…

It’s ok? You’re getting those visions?

I’m getting… very blurry, fuzzy, unfocused visions… it’s not clear at all…

That’s okay. We’ve planted those seeds today… it’ll grow clearer in time… 😏

Mmmmm…

I love u 🥺❤️

I love u too 😏💋🔥
