The Day Everybody Pretended Not to Notice

I was in public transport one morning like that when this man joined us in the bus. The confusing part was that no one panicked because we all saw him like a passenger too. Meanwhile, some passengers started looking at him with some bombastic side eyes.

At first, I didn't understand. I was sitting at the back, but I was looking at all their actions. The woman at my front said with a very low voice, "Is he even wearing anything under his clothes?” This man was wearing one oversized white lace top that was showing his thighs. No trousers. Just the white top.

At least, no one was seeing it clearly. Some people on the bus became so uncomfortable and wanted to get down, yet no one wanted to speak directly.
But one thing that got me surprised was not even what he wore, but his absolute confidence in a convincing way.

And one lesson that I will always remember from that day is that. A lot of people will not always believe in what they see. Sometimes, they just believe the way you carry yourself instead.

Thank you for reading.
