Ravi surveyed his surroundings, finding himself oddly situated in a forest adorned with towering trees. His bare feet tread on the damp ground, crunching over dry leaves and remnants of the recent rain. The scent of foliage and the brisk air directly brushed against his skin as he glanced around, yet he remained clueless about his current location.

Where was he? Once again, the question echoed in Ravi's mind. Why did he wake up in this forest?

"Raymond?" Ravi called out loudly, still unable to spot Raymond's figure amid the trees.

No response from the Raymond he hoped for. Only an empty air embraced his body in the increasingly piercing night. Ravi could only hear the noisy echoes of his breath and the footsteps as he quickened his pace. The feeling of being watched in the darkness, with just the moonlight touching his skin, sent shivers down Ravi's spine.

"Raymond?" Ravi called out again, refusing to give in to the increasingly ominous forest.

Ravi knew he wasn't alone here, with othe

    Ravi jolted, opening his eyes, sensing something about to invade him. He was startled to find that half of his body had been lifted, with both his legs dangling around Raymond's neck."What on earth, Raymond?" Ravi unconsciously yelled, moving away from Raymond as he realized their peculiar position."Ravi, it happened in the video," Raymond said, appearing guilty, but that wasn't the answer Ravi wanted to hear. He pulled the blanket to cover his naked body, still staring at Raymond with a myriad of questions about what had just occurred. Whatever Raymond had watched, it shouldn't have prompted him to do something like this suddenly without Ravi's consent."Can you just do that to me while I'm sleeping?"Raymond's expression immediately dropped, and in an instant, a clear liquid covered those differently colored eyes. Raymond quickly covered his face, speaking with a muffled voice. "Sorry, Ravi. Forgive me. I didn't know; I thought Ravi called me for that."Ravi rubbed the bridge of hi

    Ravi tightened his clothes as the cold air enveloped him. He glanced at Raymond, who seemed unaffected by the chilly atmosphere, smiling suspiciously as they strolled past fragrant shops.Unable to dismiss the looming reality of their lives, even in this small town, Ravi recognized that his wallet would dwindle along with their expenses, with no income in sight. Reluctant to use his bank card, he feared Daniel discovering his presence here.They halted by a pedestrian traffic light. Ravi felt Raymond's hand gently tug at his shirt. "What's wrong?""Does Ravi feel pain again in Ravi's body?"Arching an eyebrow at the sudden question, Ravi shook his head in response. "No."Raymond appeared uneasy, standing in place. His grip on Ravi's shirt tightened, and Ravi gazed at him, curious about the turmoil Raymond was experiencing at that moment."About yesterday's slap?" Ravi instinctively touched his cheek, which stung suddenly as he recalled what happened the day before. His throat went dry,

    They ate in silence, yet Ravi still pondered the lingering question he had thrown about Daniel earlier. Raymond remained silent, and for some reason, Ravi was convinced that what he had asked before held some truth.Ravi coughed softly as he felt someone's gaze as if drilling into his head from behind. He glanced back, but no one was staring in his direction there, yet it made him increasingly uneasy and uncomfortable. Perhaps it was just his fear of Daniel, who might be searching for him."Ravi, can we leave? People keep staring at you," Raymond said anxiously, his eyes scanning their surroundings since they sat down. It might be Raymond's first time being in public like this, hence his apprehension. Ravi tried to stay positive.Ravi let out a rough sigh, doubting anyone was paying attention to him. He realized he wasn't wearing flashy clothes that would draw attention or warrant comments from others. "Just ignore it; you're probably imagining things."Ravi gulped down the water and s

    "Ravi, can I kiss Ravi now?" Instantly, Ravi's eyes widened as Raymond said it so casually, standing in front of him with their eyes locked."Did you just kill someone, Raymond? Don't you understand, people will come, the police will catch us."Raymond shook his head, his gaze dimming. "If Ravi kisses me, everything will be fine. I swear."Ravi opened his mouth only to close it again. How was that even possible? At a time like this, Raymond was saying that his hands had just stabbed someone, and Raymond didn't feel guilty at all. Ravi ruffled his hair with Raymond's strange request. "Raymond, this isn't the time for things like that.""Ravi, I'm telling the truth. Everything will be fine, someone told me about it before."Ravi felt the air around him heavy, he glanced at the lifeless body covered in blood, and no one knew when someone could walk in and find them. Then his gaze fell back onto Raymond's two different eyes staring at Ravi with an intensity that made Ravi tense under it. K

    Ravi jerked awake from a severe coughing fit. He saw the thick, dark red blood staining his hands. His chest throbbed, even just to inhale the oxygen he needed."Ravi?" Raymond promptly handed a glass of water to him, which Ravi drank until it was empty. Not only that, Raymond reached for Ravi's blood-stained hand and wiped it clean with a blanket. Ravi grimaced to find out Raymond cleaned his blood using a blanket."How long have I been asleep?" Ravi asked, looking at the still-bright window."Three hours," Raymond quickly replied."What have you been doing?"Raymond avoided his gaze and didn't answer. This prompted Ravi to carefully ask again between his now steady breaths. "What have you been doing?""Watching you sleep, Ravi." Raymond finally answered timidly, while Ravi himself didn't know how to respond."Ravi, can we go see Daniel?" Raymond suddenly asked, his eyebrows almost merging into one."On what basis?" Ravi questioned."To treat you, only he can do it. It's getting worse

    "Liam, I don't know how much to thank you," Ravi said, smiling at Liam standing before him.Ravi was clutching a paper bag full of bread and he was indeed very happy for this gift from Liam, he thought Raymond would also be happy with this later."It's not necessary, what else can I do to help you besides this?" Liam replied with a smile. Then he asked Ravi, "Do you live around here?""Not really, I'm not familiar with this area. But it's at the end of that street." Ravi didn't really want to disclose where he lived to Liam. "I live with Raymond.""Raymond?" he asked, surprised.Ravi nodded. Liam hadn't met Raymond yet, but he might have heard rumors. Clearly, no one knew about the stranger who suddenly appeared in Ravi's room. "He is a relative of our family. I and him happened to be close to him first.""I've heard about that. Maybe we could meet up later to talk about a lot of things?" Liam offered, patting Ravi's shoulder gently."Right. Tomorrow on your day off, do you have time?"

    "Ravi?"Ravi opened the door to his small abode and was taken aback to find it enveloped in darkness. He returned home to be greeted by Raymond's whimpering. Ravi flicked on the light to be met with Raymond's haggard face, tears streaking down his cheeks."Ravi? I've been waiting for so long," Raymond said, his voice barely above a whisper. He stood stiffly before him, his hand hovering as if to reach out to Ravi. How long had Raymond been crying like this?Ravi didn't know how to respond to Raymond. He was too tired to react; his body ached with exhaustion. Yet, he couldn't dismiss Raymond like this; he had been waiting for hours."I'm sorry," was all Ravi could manage to say."Ravi, is there someone—""No, don't ask anything about that," Ravi quickly interjected, cutting off Raymond's words. Bringing it up again would only worsen Ravi's pounding headache. He gently pulled Raymond's arm, guiding him to sit on their bed. "Why are you crying like this?"Raymond didn't immediately answe

    Ravi crouched behind the wall when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Daniel's fleeting shadow passing right in front of him. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his growing panic drawing every inch of Ravi's body into a painful knot. He slumped to the ground as his heartbeat quickened, his neck feeling as if it were tightly bound by an invisible rope.The pain Ravi experienced never seemed to settle on any specific part of his body; he often felt it coursing through his entire being. Curling up in a secluded corner of the dimly lit street, he buried his face into his knees. With every throb of pain that gripped his body, Ravi could sense Daniel's resentment seething within him.Alone in the shadowy corner of the street once more, Ravi regretted not having Raymond with him. He thought nothing would happen when he just went to the nearby minimarket.Ravi suddenly choked, quickly spewing out something that violently erupted, once again spitting out the thick blood. He wiped the corne

    With a glance, Ravi looked at where he was now. It was not much different from what was in Adrian's room, but it was even more spacious and had the things placed as they should be.So, is it true that Daniel is an elf? Ravi wouldn't even know about this fact if Raymond hadn't come into his life, he would have accepted the lie continuously."This is your room, Ravi."Ravi immediately turned to Daniel. "I don't want to be here.""No. It's night and now Ravi lives here.""I want to go home. Not here." Ravi threw the clothes that Daniel was wearing on the floor. It wasn't very comfortable to dress like this with someone he previously knew as his brother. However, Ravi could not accept any kindness that Daniel wanted to give him. "Where's Raymond?""Ravi, you want to dress like that here? It's not even a man's clothes." Daniel walked to the large wooden cabinet in the corner of the room, picking up the clothes there. It was as if this place had indeed been prepared for him."Who wants to b

    Ravi moved back in surprise, at night and also among the trees in the unknown forest, Raymond even had time to think of such things in this place."Your stomach is hurt, and we're in a forest that I don't even know where. How can you say those things, Raymond?" Ravi complained to Raymond tiredly."My wound will be fine," he said.However, after Raymond said it, Ravi was once again shocked when his neck was grabbed and Raymond pulled him closer, he automatically held his breath in surprise as he felt the heat of Raymond's body pressing against him. The scent of chocolate wafted around Ravi's sense of smell and he was terrified if other elves could smell the scent of chocolate coming out of Raymond's body at this time."He left another dirty mark on Ravi's skin." Raymond's increasingly heavy voice touched his skin. He rebelliously moved backward, away from Raymond's touch with a hunting breath. Raymond sees the sign of the kiss that Adrian forcibly gave Ravi earlier on the neck and Raymo

    Ravi always knew Raymond would come to rescue him from Adrian's grip. Raymond wouldn't leave him here; he had promised Ravi."Marvos? No one invited you here."Ravi heard Adrian call out, and there was no one else there but Raymond, which meant Marvos was Raymond. Had he been the one accused of killing people outside? Raymond, the one Ravi knew?Ravi's darkening eyes caught traces of blood staining Raymond's body, making everything clear. Ravi's vision blurred for a moment when a shove from Adrian sent his back crashing into the man's sturdy chest. He resisted, but Adrian's arm was tightly wrapped around his neck, making it difficult for him to move and break free. His eyes were fixed on Raymond, waiting for him to come to his rescue, but Raymond stood there as if rooted to the spot. However, the rebellion in those eyes sent shivers down Ravi's spine. Adrian must have done something to Raymond.Ravi felt a surge of panic as Adrian's hand landed on his thigh just below Raymond's gaze.

    "You won't be able to do anything to me. You won't," Ravi said, confident that Raymond wouldn't leave him here with someone as wicked as Adrian."Your confidence doesn't impress me." Adrian's cold voice made Ravi's gaze sharpen towards him.Ravi scoffed. "And who are you anyway? I'm not here to impress you."Ravi wanted to say more to insult Adrian, but the man instead delivered a hard slap to his cheek. Ravi didn't flinch or show his pain, which only seemed to satisfy Adrian even more.Adrian growled angrily and once again grabbed Ravi's neck tightly, overwhelming him to break free. "Don't you dare raise your tone in front of me? You're just a speck of dirt under my fingernail.""In that case, let me go. If you find humans disgusting, don't bother dealing with me." Ravi disregarded Adrian's warning. He dug his nails into the man's skin until Adrian released him, but not without leaving a smirk on his lips."I am a king, shouldn't you feel honored to deal with me?"Ravi wished he coul

    As Ravi opened the door to the restroom in the supermarket, he was startled to see someone greeting him with a smirk, and at that moment, Ravi regained full control of his body."Hey, how long has it been since we last met?"Ravi flinched, stepping back away from Adrian, who stepped forward, getting closer. Why was this man bothering him again? Adrian seemed to be everywhere, able to control Ravi's body even when he fought against himself.Adrian's hand waved quickly in front of Ravi's face, accompanied by the sound of the door locking behind him. Ravi immediately turned around and tried to open the door quickly, but it was all in vain as the door wouldn't budge. Ravi pounded on the door, hoping someone would come and find something wrong here. He hoped Raymond would realize his strangeness and come here to free him from Adrian."Why are you doing this?""Is this how you greet your enemies?" Adrian whispered right next to his ear, making Ravi shiver as he quickly turned and pushed Adr

    "Ravi, can I take over the work?" Raymond suddenly asked as Ravi stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.Well, with Daniel's arrival on his first day of work, Ravi figured he wouldn't be able to work there anymore, especially after his promise to Liam about not showing up. Ravi would have to look for a new job after apologizing to Liam for causing chaos at his bakery."No, let me handle it," Ravi said, unable to let Raymond do that. Raymond admitted that he lived and breathed in a completely different world from where Ravi lived. When he first met Ravi, Raymond couldn't open a door, turn on a faucet, operate an electric stove, or sometimes even do simple tasks. How could Ravi allow Raymond to work?"Why, Ravi?" Raymond stood up in front of Ravi

    "Ravi, I'm here. Ravi will be okay." Raymond's voice whispered in his ear, pulling Ravi back into the tantalizing awareness. He slowly opened his eyes and found Raymond just inches away from his face.He shut his eyes again, but once more, Raymond spoke, whispering near his lips. "Ravi, wake up. I'm here."Ravi struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and the first thing he saw was a dark shadow behind Raymond, partially obscuring the light entering his vision. He blinked slowly, realizing it wasn't just a shadow but a pair of black wings stretching out behind Raymond. The black wings enveloped them both as if shielding them from the frightening specter that had just emerged in his mind."Ravi, it's me." Raymond pressed a kiss to the bridge of his nose as Ravi remained unresponsive.Ravi carefully processed what had happened earlier, leading him to now lie comfortably on his soft bed. He tried to open his mouth, but he felt like his voice couldn't escape his throat due to exhaustion and f

    "If I told you that you're my son, would you believe it?"Ravi responded with a bitter laugh. What kind of joke was this? Because there had been too many mind-boggling things far beyond his sanity, Ravi didn't feel particularly surprised at all. Daniel was trying to feed him lies again.He should be working instead of listening to nonsense from someone who had become a stranger to him. This was the last resort Daniel was using to lure Ravi back to that house. The unknown purpose for Daniel's gain is if Ravi agrees to be continuously deceived for the rest of his life."What kind of joke are you playing now?" Ravi snorted after asking with undisguised displeasure. Whatever Daniel said to him was surely just nonsense. He had been deceived all this time, and how could Ravi simply trust him like this? Ravi was his son? What kind of lie was that?"Ravi, this is not a joke." Daniel had stepped closer than Ravi wanted. Ravi attempted to step back again, but Daniel's movement was quicker as he

    "I just hope your past mistakes aren't related to taking someone's life."B-but, I did it."Ravi fell silent, he didn't say anything. He turned to look directly at Raymond, who was now leaning on his elbow. Ravi remained silent, just like Raymond, who did the same. He gazed into those eyes again then quickly averted his gaze. Ravi thought Adrian's words were wrong and only accused Raymond. Now Ravi didn't know who to believe."Ravi, I'm sorry.""I have to work tomorrow." After saying that, Ravi turned back to sleep without dreams.***"I'm fine," Ravi told Liam during their break. Earlier, Ravi had apologized for his absence at the man's house and confessed that he suddenly fell ill."But your body feels too warm." Ravi was surprised when Liam suddenly placed his palm on Ravi's forehead.Ravi glanced down to refocus on his food, while Liam did the same. "I'm okay, no need to worry. You've also given me fever medicine, haven't you?"Ravi suddenly felt uncomfortable around Liam; the man
