Aiden's Point of ViewCynthia and I waited another thirty minutes until Wyatt finished eating. They were laughing as they left the dining room, obviously not noticing my presence with Cynthia.I bit my bottom lip when I saw where Wyatt's hand was. When I looked away from his hand and just looked at his face, I saw that he was also staring at me. He looked stunned when he saw me, even the smile on his lips disappeared."Wyatt, what's wrong?" Agleen asked. After that, he followed where Wyatt was looking and that's when she noticed me. She smiled and waved at me, "Hello, Wyatt's friend!"I faked a smile, "Hello.""Tsk. I just heard her voice and I immediately got annoyed," Cynthia whispered.I stood up and approached them. Cynthia followed me."Wyatt, can we talk?" I asked, looking directly into Wyatt's eyes."Um..." He looked at Agleen.That made my heart hurt. My heart felt like it was pinched. Does he really need permission from that girl before talking to me? Aren’t I his boyfriend a
Aiden's Point of ViewDING DONG! DING DONG!I woke up as soon as I heard the sound of the doorbell. I immediately ran out of my bedroom to open the door for the person who was ringing the doorbell. My heart is pounding like crazy. I hope the one ringing the doorbell was Wyatt. I missed him. I missed him so fucking much. Please, make it him. I know he can't resist me. I know he can't leave me. I know he still has feelings for me.Yeah, that's all I thought about but they were all gone when I finally opened the door. Wyatt isn't there. It was Regie who rang the doorbell. What the heck? What am I hoping for? I already knew that what I am thinking is all just bullshit, that it will never happen. He said that he doesn't love me anymore and that the one he loves is Agleen and not me. So, what... What exactly am I hoping for? Damn it.All the excitement I felt a while ago went away. I smiled at Regie and let him in. I told him to sit down on the couch first and I will just wash my face. I si
Aiden's Point of ViewHow many days has it been since I last talked to Wyatt? I do not know. Finals are next week and so far I haven't reviewed even one of my subjects. How can I review if every time I read Wyatt suddenly comes into my mind? I will remember the days when we were both happy, including our occasional arguments over small things. I suddenly cry every time I remember them but every time I think that I might be an extra in the love story between Wyatt and Agleen, I just smile bitterly.Maybe I'm just really an extra in their love story. That Wyatt and I only became so that I could fill the sadness in his chest. What else can I do? Looks like we're really done with this.Sometimes I wonder if Wyatt really had feelings for me because even he wasn't sure if he really had feelings for me.How does Wyatt feel when we hold hands? Every time we hug and every time our lips touch? Does he feel what I feel too? Is his heart beating fast, or is it just nothing to him?Was he happy wi
Aiden's Point of ViewIt's my time to leave.I stood up after hearing the number of my plane. I took a deep breath before facing my back. I just smiled bitterly when I saw the unfamiliar faces.What do I expect? Did I think Wyatt would chase me down and stop me from leaving? I'm only fooling myself.I took another deep breath before starting to walk. Every step I take, I remember the happy days I had with him, as well as the pain caused by Agleen's return.I told myself that I would be happy as long as Wyatt was happy with the person he loved. But why is that? I can’t feel any happiness for them. I can't really be happy until I'm the source of his happiness. Am I being selfish? Yes, maybe.I hope that when I get on the plane, I can leave all my memories with him. I hope that when I leave, I can also leave all the pain that I carry in my chest. And hopefully, with the flight of the plane, my feelings for him will disappear.I won't see him again after the plane leaves, so I'm sure I'll
Wyatt's Point of ViewIs this the karma they were referring to?My shoulders slumped as I stood in front of Aiden's unit door. I have been knocking repeatedly, but no one opens the door. I have been calling his name over and over, but no one is answering."Aiden? Please, talk to me! Open this door, please? Aiden!" I said while I kept on banging on the door with my fist."Hey, quiet down! The walls here are not soundproof!"I turned to the speaker. There is a trace of annoyance on his face as well as in his voice. I just apologized for the noise I made."Mr., do you need something?"I turned to the speaker. A woman noticed me. It looks like she's from the mall based on the plastic bags she's carrying."Uh... I... Do you happen to see the man who's living here?" I asked. At first, I was hesitant because she might not know Aiden, but in the end, I still asked because there was nothing to lose if I tried."Hmm..." She looked up as if thinking, "As far as I remember, no one stayed there fo
Wyatt's Point of View"Is that all that you want to talk about?" I looked at him."No," he said, shaking his head. "That's not what I wanted to tell you. What I really wanted to talk to you about was the photo that got leaked. I found out who's behind it."I frowned and asked, "Who?""It was from..."BANG!The door opened loudly, so I couldn't hear what Hans said next—the name of the person who spread the image of me and Aiden."Damn! It's tiring to go upstairs!" Jacob complained while wiping his sweat.Yuan opened the mineral bottle he was holding, handed it to Jacob, and said, "Oh, drink first; you're always complaining."After Jacob got the water, Yuan sat down next to Hans. While Jacob remained standing and drank the water that Yuan gave him."What were you talking about before we came?" Jacob asked. "It looks like your topic was deep. Can we join in?" He added more. After he finished drinking, he sat next to Yuan.The three of them were next to each other while I was in front of
Wyatt's Point of ViewI scoffed; I couldn't believe what she said. "You think that reason is valid? You're selfish, Agleen!""Alright, let's say I'm selfish because of what I did," she uttered before looking straight into my eyes. "You? Did you really love him? Aren't you selfish too? You chose to hurt him to save yourself from the shame that you yourself started."I fucking know that! So, why? Why does she have to mention that and tell me face-to-face that I did something wrong? Fuck it!"That wouldn't happen if it's not because of you." I gritted my teeth. "All of the conflicts that were happening to me were all because of you! If you haven't come back... You shouldn't have come back, Agleen!"Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter any words. She stayed there with her mouth shut while her tears continued to come out. And I also stayed there, clenching my fist while looking at her. I don't feel any pity. All I could feel was the anger in my chest."Wyatt!"I heard Jacob scream my
Aiden's Point of View"So, how was your stay there?" He asked before sipping his coffee.I'm with Regie, and we're in a café. I asked him if he wanted to chill for a while before looking for a hotel where I could stay for a few weeks."It's fine," I answered while smiling."I waited. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bored waiting for you," he said, then laughed softly. "I really wanted to go there, if only Cynthia hadn't really stopped me."Cynthia, his cousin. Even though I stayed in California for a long time, I still haven't forgotten the names of the people who were a part of my life when I was here. There are also days when I want to see them again and bond.How are Regie's cousins? I want to see them, especially Criza; I want to see the change in her. She must have been a perfect young woman.I chuckled, "I should thank Cynthia for that then.""What about you? Didn't you miss me?" He asked after sipping his coffee."Of course, I do," I smiled. "You were the only one I used to tal

Jacob's Point of ViewI remember the first time I laid eyes on her, sitting a few rows ahead in our college classroom. Her smile was like a ray of sunshine, and her laughter filled the air with a melody that instantly captivated me. Her name was Fiona, and little did I know that she would become my first love and also the source of my deepest heartbreak.We were part of a close-knit group of friends during our first year of college, including Yuan, Hans, Aiden, and Wyatt. We spent countless hours together, sharing laughter, dreams, and the ups and downs of college life. But unbeknownst to them, my heart belonged to Fiona.One fateful day, as we gathered in the campus courtyard, I witnessed a scene that shattered my world. I saw Fiona and Yuan sharing an intimate moment, their lips locked in a passionate kiss. My heart sank because I've never had the courage to confess my feelings to Fiona, and now I had to bear witness to my unrequited love being realized by someone else.It was a pai
Han's Point of ViewAs I sat in the bustling coffee shop, sipping on my latte, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing deep within my heart.

The truth is, I've always been a hopeless romantic, longing for deep connection and soul-stirring love.My name is Hans, and I am a dreamer with an insatiable thirst for adventure.

Aiden's Point of ViewLife has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Wyatt and I embark on an unexpected adventure that takes us on a journey filled with excitement, laughter, and new discoveries. As we navigate uncharted territories together, we learn to embrace spontaneity and find joy in the unexpected twists and turns that life has to offer. This reminds us that sometimes the best moments in life are the ones we never saw coming.As the sun began to set on a warm summer evening, Wyatt and I found ourselves sitting on the porch, sipping our favorite cups of tea. We had just finished reminiscing about the wonderful memories we had created over the years when Wyatt turned to me with a mischievous glint in his eyes."You know what?" he said, a playful smile spreading across his face. "Let's do something completely out of the ordinary. Let's go on an adventure!"I looked at him, surprised yet intrigued by his suggestion. "An adventure? What do you have in mind?"Wyatt approac
Aiden's Point of ViewAs I sit here with Wyatt, reminiscing about the events that have led us to this point, I can't help but feel grateful for the wonderful life we've built together. It all started with a great night after getting back together. We realized how much we still loved each other and decided to make things work.A few months later, I resigned from my job and moved to the Philippines with Wyatt. We moved in together and began building a life together. We discussed the idea of starting a family and agreed that surrogacy was the best option for us.One day, Wyatt surprised me with a tearful proposal, and I couldn't have been happier to say yes. A few months later, we flew to Austria to get married, and it was the most beautiful day of our lives.My heart swelled with happiness as I looked at Wyatt standing at the altar, waiting for me. I couldn't believe that I was finally getting married to the love of my life. The memories of the day we got engaged rushed back to me as I w
Warning: R-18-----Aiden's Point of View"W-Wait," I gently pushed Wyatt to stop him from kissing me. We were still at the apartment's doorway, and it wouldn't be ideal if someone saw us doing this here."But I can't wait, though," he pouted.I sighed. "Do you want someone to catch us? Just a moment, okay? I'll just open this door," I told him.He heaved a sigh, clearly impatient. "Okay, hurry up."I couldn't help but smile at how eager he was.After opening the door, we entered, and while I was taking off my shoes, Wyatt closed the door. To my surprise, I was suddenly lifted off the ground."Damn, I haven't even finished taking off my shoes, Wyatt!" I exclaimed.He whispered to me, sending shivers down my spine, "I'll do it for you, my dear."I didn't respond anymore and just let him carry me to the bedroom. Once there, he gently placed me on the bed. He knelt down and removed my shoes. After taking them off, he stood up and initiated a passionate kiss.He kissed me like a hungry ti
Wyatt's Point of ViewAfter that evening, Regie's words stayed in my mind. I also realized that since what happened with Aiden, the relationship between the two of us, who are cousins, has become distant.I can't blame Regie because his anger towards me is entirely justified. I mistreated someone he loved. If the same thing happened to me, I would probably treat him the same way.I accept my wrongdoing, but I hope they can see my remorse. I also hope they can feel the effort I'm putting in and the lengths I'm willing to go to get Aiden back.I'm not sure how to express myself to them anymore or how to prove to them that my feelings for him are real. I'm not a child; I know whether my feelings are temporary or not.I hope that they will notice my efforts, and I also hope that things can get back to the way they were before, including the closeness between Regie and me.The next day, I immersed myself in work, hoping it would help clear my head. I still didn't know how to face Aiden. Af
