“Prince Hayden. You're looking hot tonight.” A girl dressed in a black suit coupled with a miniskirt walked over. She had fake cat ears on her head. Hayden nodded at the girl while he tried to remember her face; he later remembered that she was a cheerleader.“I heard you don't have a partner tonight…” The cheerleader gave him a scheming smirk, which made his expression icy. She clink her glass with his.“Who said he doesn't have a partner?” Mia asked, slipping her hand around Hayden's shoulder and placing her head on his shoulder, protectively. The cheerleader's expression changed into an unhappy one. The person in front of her is Mia, a top star. So, she wasn't at that level where she could cross her. “Aren't you his friend?” She commented with a smile.“I'll be back,” Hayden muttered and left immediately before he was pulled into the childish banter that had begun to occur among the girls. Hayden was beginning to get offended by Mia's clingy actions, but he knew she was doing it
“It's a mistake… I'm sor…” Hayden tried to apologize, but he soon froze; his eyes widened, and his breath hitched when his eyes met those special blue eyes, Zenos's. There was a lady beside Zenos, and even though they both looked serious like they were talking about business, it made Hayden boil in fury because he had a feeling that she was the secretary that the matchmaker person was talking about.“Zenos.” Hayden whispered in a soft, calm, yet firm tone. His eyes searched the man's eyes for any emotions, but what he saw was nonchalance. Xavier looked bored at the interaction; he leaned back with amusement and curiosity, but there seemed to be something mischievous and wild playing in his blue eyes as he asked Zenos. “You know him?”“No,” Zenos replied without hesitation, which made Hayden glare at him. Bastard! He ignored him on purpose, just because he was in the presence of that girl. Cruel man! He cursed inwardly.“Dare to say that again?” Hayden glared at Zenos with anger and
“I'll be back.” Zenos suddenly stood up and left the room.“Hey,” David called and tapped Sean and Jude. “Michael hasn't read any of the chats I sent to him. Is that the same with you?” David asked, which made Sean and Jude nod. And for a certain person's ears to perk up.“He must be in the laboratory like usual. We aren't there, so he must be overworking himself again.” Jude muttered.'Overworking?' Xavier's brow furrowed in unhappiness. Michael had been overworking himself? For what reason? Xavier asked himself. He leaned forward and picked up the wine. He asked casually, using that medium to get more news about Michael without alerting his friends. “Is that famous doctor Michael one of you?” “One of us,” Sean muttered, not saying more or less. Suddenly, Xavier's phone pinged, and he picked it up. He opened his chat box and saw that he had been added to a new group.'Welcome to the family, @Xavier.'“Michael is in the group. You can talk to him.” Sean said, to which Xavier replied
Zenos lifted his head and looked right into Sean's eyes, which made Sean freeze. He never expected to be caught while he was watching the drama that unfolded between the duo. But…'Okay, he was caught!' He thought and turned back. Originally, Sean went out to check on Zenos to see if he was doing fine, not knowing that he'd met with that scene instead. Damn! That Zenos! Sean harrumphed to himself. Turned out he had lost the battle to Hayden a long time ago. But damn, the kiss shared between them was crazy and hot. Sean froze at what he had just thought about. “Huh?” Sean almost beat himself up. What was he saying? How can he find it hot? Sean's memory began to spurn wild and… Soon, the pictures he scrolled through on the BL website that night began to linger in his memory, and he could clearly remember them all. “Oh no!” Sean muttered and took a step back in horror. He used his fingers to rub his eyes as if to clear those visions away but to no avail. Sean shook his head in panic
Hayden's face was originally red after waiting in the cold for a few minutes but coupled with his pleading look and voice, his whole figure looked pitiful. “Oh, he looks pitiful. He had been waiting in the cold for a long time. Such a good partner.”'I've been wondering what a handsome man with a nice figure has been doing in the cold for a long time. Turns out it's to apologize. Such a filial youth.'“This old me can't understand how young people's brains work. This person looks so pitiful.” A few people surrounded them, asking Zenos for his apology. Zenos clenched his fist, raised his head, and his eyes met another one that belonged to someone coming out of the restaurant. Well, he already knew who sent Hayden here. Besides, Hayden planned it well, bawling while holding Zenos' waist pitifully. Feeling the man's nonchalance, Hayden parted from him and said, with red eyes, “You don't want me anymore, right? Then look.” Hayden said, then suddenly began to take his clothes off slow
Hayden's lips were swollen, his body was filled with marks made by the man, and beads of sweat filled his milky skin. Zenos captured Hayden's lips and nibbled on them like the most delicious thing.“I'm glad,” Hayden said with a smile after a few minutes; his legs were wrapped around Zenos, and he occasionally let out a pleasured whimper. Hayden was glad that he was finally with Zenos. And all the bitterness from the past disappeared. Zenos pecked Hayden's forehead and smiled at him. Hayden was stunned by the rare, beautiful smile, and he reached his hand out to touch Zenos's face. Somehow, it feels like a dream, but if it is, he would rather not wake up. A peck on his lips interrupted his thoughts, and Hayden saw that Zenos acted like he wanted to stand up, but he held Zenos's arms and asked in a hoarse voice. “Where are you going?”“Clean you up,” Zenos replied, caressing his face lovingly.“Don't. I still want you.” Hayden said and bit his lips seductively. He knew he wasn't ga
Asher dropped his stethoscope and walked toward the fridge to get yogurt. “Did you just get together?” Asher questioned and walked back leisurely to sit on a chair. Zenos looked at him as if to say he should hurry and say whatever he wanted to.“He's frail,” Asher said seriously after directly drinking a mouthful of yogurt.“Perhaps he looked strong…” Asher paused and shook his head. “No! He's bony, and I know that you should have noticed.” Asher knew that Zenos was always attentive and paid attention to little details, so he should have noticed that too.“Even though you're capable of using scientific terms, I'll explain in a layman's way: He's too tired, and he has overstressed himself! I could see traces of drugs, which indicates that he's using overdose medication, which is starting to take effect. His emotional and mental health isn't stable either! For someone like him, you have to take care of him well to prevent him from collapsing in the near months.” Asher clarified to Zenos
Craig had a bewildered look even five minutes after he woke up. He had ended up kissing Sean last night after getting drunk; even though he was drunk, he was sane, and yet he found himself not disgusted by the kissing. Craig was glad that Sean didn't push him away, either. After all, that person had flirted with him all night, and if he had done that, it would break his heart. But Sean didn't say anything either, only telling him that he didn't stay in Grail State. And they had exchanged numbers while Sean held him close. Craig pouted, and his fingers opened the chat interface, only to be stared at by last night's chat. “Haven't you woken up yet?” Craig said while tapping his phone screen childishly until it got dark again. His phone suddenly lit up by itself.Sean: “Are you up?” Craig's back unconsciously straightened, and his breathing came out in a hurry. “Yes.” Immediately, he typed with excitement.-_-+-++“Did you like what I prepared for you?” Xavier asked in a mischievou
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he made an attempt to stretch his body, but in the next second, tears slipped past his eyes, and he stared at the ceiling. Why does his hand ache so much? Ah! What's wrong with his body again? It’s really too much! Hayden slowly but achingly walked towards his phone. However, by the time Hayden checked his phone, he was completely shocked… Hayden could remember that he left his phone charging last night, but how come his phone is completely turned off right now? Not only was the charging socket off but his phone's battery was completely shut down. His phone battery isn't the type to drain for no reason! A wicked grin immediately crept onto Hayden's lips. Something is extremely fishy. Now, he doesn't believe that Zenos is truly innocent. Tonight, he'll change his plan. Let's see if Zenos will be able to hide again! Hayden smirked evilly, the plan on how to catch Zenos pervading his mind. He should have expected that his plan was childish in the b
Hayden drowsily stretched his arms and yawned leisurely. His hand flew towards his eyes, and he leisurely rubbed his eyes.His eyes flew wide open, and he evaluated himself. It seems falling asleep is the best health treatment. His arms and body feel so much better after sleeping.Hayden's finger landed on his lips, and he slowly stroked them. It's just that his lips don't seem to go with the flow and still remain the same from when he woke up in the morning.However, everything feels so great. Suddenly, Hayden paused, and his eyes shone with an enigmatic glint.The ointment seems to work despite Zeno teasing his chest.Hayden immediately became energetic, and he sat up while stretching actively. He could probably do some painting, or he could just tease Zenos too…Definitely teasing Zenos.Even though Zenos' expression shows innocence, Hayden doesn't fall for it, and he believes that his situation can only be none other than Zenos' handiwork. After all, who could step into the room i
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he leisurely yawned, “Ha… Ahh. Ahh. Ahh. It hurts.” Hayden's leisure yawns were immediately replaced with a pitiful cry and teary eyes. Hayden sucked in a cold breath and evaluated his aching body. He slept fine last night. Why does his whole body ache now? Especially his red dots, which felt as if they had been sucked sore. Ah! His hand feels so heavy too. This feeling feels like whenever he used his hand to help Zenos. Ahem. Hayden almost smacked himself. How could he have such naughty thoughts at such a serious time? “Ahhh!” Hayden let out a pitiful cry upon using his aching hand to mistakenly touch his stiff and sore red dots.This feels so unusual. Very unusual! And very painful. Immediately, Hayden's eyes landed on the bed. Did Zenos come in? Hayden took a glance at the door, and he immediately rejected the idea. Judging by how everything seemed fine the way he left it before he fell asleep, it could be seen that Zenos didn't step into t
Silence fell immediately, but in the next second, Zenos' broke into a peal of sarcastic laughter, cruelly poking into Xavier's wound. He fell silent in the next second and asked, “Why?” Xavier leaned forward and truthfully replied, his eyes filled with regret. “Dealing with business and failing to return for weeks.” Oh. Zenos fell silent, and his eyes fell on the beautiful city view, his expression deep and enigmatic and his thoughts unfathomable. "How?" A rueful smile appeared on Xavier's face, and he ran his hands through his hair. "On a business trip that was supposed to take three days, I ended up spending two weeks. Every day coaxing and promising to return the next day.” And when he finally arrived at the mansion a few hours ago, Xavier made his return a surprise. The man had eagerly kissed him, jumped on him, and attended to him well while acting clingy, leaving no trace of suspicion in Xavier's mind. Who knew that when Xavier was about to step into the room and hug the
Hayden puckered his lips and rolled around on the bed. He sighed heavily and tightly clutched the pillow. Hayden is certain that Zenos will feel bad for not being able to cuddle with him, right? Especially when Zenos thought about not being able to kiss and touch Hayden for three days. Zenos had always been touchy and couldn't do without kissing the boy, hugging him, etc. Hehe. Serves Zenos right! Suddenly, Hayden's eyes shone, and he giggled. Zenos, that person has always been strict when it comes to Hayden. Seeing Zenos nervous and the tide switching. Hayden inexplicably feels good, and his illusionary tail hangs high into the clouds. Serves Zenos right. Hmph. Zenos won't only be missing Hayden, but he won't be able to act touchy or bully him for three days! The more Hayden thought like this, the more eager he was to experience these three days. Hayden leisurely rubbed his eyes and yawned. He slipped into the bedcover and covered himself. Soon, his eyes shut, and he f
The sensor-activated range hood and air purifiers already began to operate after detecting the exuding smoke. Due to the fact that he had returned to the study, Zenos hadn't heard the timer finish its timer countdown, so the oven continued to work. Zenos pulled open the oven, and his expression changed upon seeing the Turducken's current state. The expected crispy brown turkey is now burnt and dark, its edges slightly blackened. A sense of dread hit Zenos immediately. The boy already warned Zenos not to mess things up, or else he'll be really infuriated. The boy's infuriated expression immediately appeared in Zenos' mind, and his heart sank. If the turkey skin is burnt, then the inside…Zenos grabbed a knife and sliced the turkey, clearly hoping that the damage was minimal. His expression slipped upon noticing that the turkey meat was dry around the edges, its moisture beginning to evaporate. The outer layer of the duck is overcooked and drier than it should be. However, th
The Heart product that the sweet tongue Hayden was completely obsessed with was a completely new product and brand Zenos created solely because of Hayden's sweet tongue. Months ago, when Zenos first presented the new product to the shareholders, the product idea was completely opposed by a lot of shareholders. After all, the company has always done something different, so why would their company stoop so low to do something risky and low like creating junk like chocolate, cookies, etc.? What if it doesn't sell? Regardless of the shareholders' disgruntlement and rejections, Zenos went on to launch the product with his resources. Even though Heart was just a product that was launched in less than one month with no advertisement made, it broke world record sales and became the nation's favorite and the most expected snack brand in the country in less than a month! By then, the shareholders who all went against it could only bite their fingers in regret. Seeing the huge profits that
"Zen, you can back out and let me bid.” Hayden smacked his lips together and raised his head to stare at Zenos seriously; his actions of helping Zenos fix the apron came to a pause.Hayden saying this… It's not that Hayden looked down on or underestimated Zenos' ability to make a turducken. After all, Zen is the best, and Zen is a multi-talented genius.It's just that Zenos has been busy dealing with company work since the past week, and Zenos doing this means that Zenos won't be able to complete the work he had to do during this time.This means that Zenos has extended his work, and the time Zenos is supposed to spend resting will be spent completing the work.Furthermore, judging by the details on the web and cooking recipes, Turducken requires focus and patience, which means that at the end of the day, Zenos will be tired.Zenos is already busy dealing with work, and Hayden has been trying to make Zenos rest; the thought of adding Turducken to all this chaos doesn't sit well with H
Hayden hummed rhythmically and shook his perky butt to the tune, his hands drawing and painting and his eyes fixated on the drawing.Suddenly, Hayden's phone alarm rang, interjecting Hayden's actions.Upon hearing the alarm sound, Hayden straightened his back, carefully took the painting, and hid it at the back of the shelf.Immediately, Hayden returned to the board and took out another paper. He began to doodle on the paper and resume his humming and shaking.Zenos silently opened the door and stepped into the gallery in order not to disturb someone. Upon seeing the enticing sight of Hayden shaking his butt while humming rhythmically, Zenos paused and gulped.Immediately, Zenos strode toward the boy and smacked his perky butt, albeit gently.Hayden's face flushed, and his ear turned red. He straightened his back and turned back to glare at Zenos fiercely. "What was that for?" He uttered with a harrumph.Zenos extended his hands and hugged Hayden from behind, his hands slowly massagin
