But We're Related (We're Not) Chapter 27
Jennifer wasn't very good at driving, it turned out. Blake, still fast asleep, kept slipping off my shoulder, so in the end, I had to keep a tight arm around Blake's waist to keep him steady.Blake was safe and snug with no danger of falling on his face now, but it was my turn to feel uncomfortable. Maybe I was holding Blake too tightly—his face was now really close to my neck. I shuddered as I felt Blake's warm breath on his neck. My body felt numb. I tried to move away, but Blake wasn't allowing it as he snuggled his face closer.When his lips brushed against my neck, I couldn't take it anymore. I pushed Blake away."Hmm? What happened?" Seemingly groggy from sleep, Blake sounded hoarse as he blinked blearily.He looked confused, and the bandages on his head added to the pitiful look. I suddenly felt bad."We've arrived, Mr. Wagner," Jennifer's cold voice sounded suddenly, saving me from the awkwardness and dispelling my guilt.Along with Jennifer, the three of us moved Blake

"This is the guest room, but I've been using it as a storeroom and haven't had time to clean it out yet," Blake said as he opened the door.When I saw the interior of the guest room, I was excited. The room was painted blue and white, with a theme focused on seafaring. Over on the shelf, there were even figurines from my favorite cartoons when I was younger.I pushed my way in eagerly, taking in every detail. This was the bedroom I'd wished for as a child. I was ecstatic.However, even though the room wasn't small by any measure, it was packed with boxes. Some of the boxes held mechanical toys, some held old DVDs and tapes, and some were filled with books. The boxes filled the room."This… This is…" I could barely hold in my excitement. I covered my mouth with my hand to stop myself from screaming. This bedroom wasn't only my childhood dream, but also my current dream!However, I wasn't completely blinded by my excitement. Eventually, I realized that the guest bedroom was too pack

I slipped into my role quickly. I was here to care for Blake, so that was what I would do.After a hasty lunch, I insisted Blake take a nap, which he did reluctantly.I took some time to clear up the remnants of our takeaway. Then, I cleaned the refrigerator as well, throwing out expired or inedible items.After cleaning up, I looked around. Even though the apartment was large, it was quite clean. There was only a light scattering of dust despite it being deserted for quite some time. I cleaned the rest of the apartment as well.When I was done cleaning up the apartment, I called the school. I wasn't sure what was going to happen after this, but the school happily gave me another week off.Reassured that I was free from work, I left the apartment. Blake's apartment had a smart doorlock that unlocked with a password, which he had told me earlier.That afternoon, I familiarized myself with the neighborhood. I even bought some groceries according to the meal plan, which I had spent

I was quick at cooking, so it didn't take long for me to finish whipping up dinner. I made some salmon steak with boiled broccoli and some mushroom soup as a starter. Both of us cleared our plates quickly, which gave me a sense of satisfaction.I was expecting to feel uncomfortable living in Blake's apartment, but just as Blake had promised, he did not act out of bounds at all. We worked well together—or rather, Blake seemed to know what I was thinking most of the time. So, we got along fairly well.After dinner, I helped Blake wash his hair and shower before changing the bandages on his head. Then, Blake urged me to go to bed.It had been a busy day, so I was tired. However, it was still only 9:00 pm. I didn't think I would be able to fall asleep so early, especially with Blake in the same bed. Then again, it would be awkward to stay up with Blake too.The bed in Blake's bedroom was huge. It would fit three people easily, so there was enough space for us to lie side by side withou

Just like that, I settled into Blake's apartment. Taking care of Blake wasn't a hard job. All I had to do was cook his meals, clean the apartment, and help him with his showers and his bathroom affairs when he was nauseous.Helping Blake to the toilet and giving him a wipe down still made me a little uncomfortable, but Blake had had a change of heart and stopped teasing me, so I was much more relaxed now.At the same time, this confirmed my suspicions that Blake had a crush on David. I had even sent David's contact number to Blake in an attempt to help, but for some reason, Blake wasn't happy about that. His expression was dark. I figured that he was embarrassed because I had exposed his crush.All in all, I had a great time living with Blake, if I was being honest. Blake allowed me to go anywhere I wanted in the apartment. When I had free time, I would go to the study to read books or watch a movie. Sometimes, Blake would even join me.Once, I even unearthed several out-of-print b

"I know I'm being a little pushy. I can settle lunch myself, actually. You just need to help me with breakfast and dinner, and also help me when I'm in the shower," Blake said. Seeing my hesitation, he added, "Of course, if you agree to stay, you can use everything I have in this apartment, including my car."This was the final straw. I would willingly jump into an ocean of fire just for that. "Alright, then."With his goal achieved, Blake carefully suppressed his amusement and took my bag from me. "In that case, I'll have to keep troubling you for the near future. Let me put your bag back in the room for you.""I can do it myself." I tried to take my bag back. I felt bad letting an injured man carry my bag for me.I wasn't sure if I was right, but Blake seemed to be in a good mood that day. For one, he'd eaten more than usual during lunch. He walked around with a pleased air, and he looked happy.I didn't understand Blake at all. He could change moods at the drop of a hat with

I had a full day of classes that day. I had taken too many days off before this, so I had a lot of classes to replace as well.Between classes, several of my colleagues gathered around me to tell me about what happened after the attack. I had been occupied with taking care of Blake over the past two weeks, so I didn't know as much as the others did even though I was directly involved in the attack.It turned out that Jenna had dropped out of school two days ago. She was going to Murika with her mother and continuing her studies there. I was only told about this in the morning as I was her homeroom teacher.At the same time, I also found out that everyone involved in the fight had been caught and punished severely. It seemed that someone had pulled some strings to ensure that the fight would be taken seriously.Somehow, I felt that Blake had a hand in this. I didn't know exactly how. The question festered in me the entire day.Besides that, I also texted Willow. Unusually, Willow t

Blake poured me a glass of water and waited for me to continue eating before saying, "Of course not. But the Youngs have been abusing their power for many years. Nigel has been committing tax fraud, for one. I've gotten my people to gather evidence of their wrongdoing and publicized them; those who are looking to get rid of the Youngs definitely won't give up this opportunity.""Then why did they visit you at the hospital?" I asked. "They were desperate. Everyone is against them now. The project I'm holding right now can give them a bit of a breather.""So they did all that for a project?" I was surprised. What kind of project was that?Blake gave me a fondly exasperated look and sighed. "Of course it's not just the project. They're also afraid that I have other incriminating evidence that may destroy them for good.""Do you?" I refilled Blake's glass, returning the gesture.As a teacher, I had a strict sense of right and wrong and hated immorality. I was furious when I thought
