ADRIAN'S POV

"Soulmate?" Kelvin asked with shock written all over his face. Who wouldn't be shocked?

I was shocked too and even more so than others because a few hours ago, Austin still hated me with gut and now he called me his soul mate...

Tine looked at me and his eyes glint with coldness before he turned his back and walked toward the door. "Where are you going to?' I was forced to ask as the urgency in his step was concerning.

He turned to look at me and the anger on his face increased. "To call the doctor. Something is wrong with Austin." He replied coldly and left the room.

I stared at the closed door for a while without saying anything and returned my attention to Austin who was smiling away as if whatever happened had nothing to do with him.

"Austin, Are you sure you're okay?" Jason was the first to ask as he sat beside Austin. He seemed very worried about him.

Austin sighed slowly and closed his eyes for a moment. "As I said earlier, Adrian was my childhood friend and we wer

    ADRIAN'S POV"I'm coming. I will be back soon." I told Austin as I made my way out of the room. I knew the ones in the room had a ton of questions to ask from him and he had a lot to explain too.I glanced at him briefly before leaving the room and he nodded his head slightly as if to tell me he was going to be okay.With that in mind, I left the hospital and boarded a cab as soon as I got to the road. Inside the car, I brought out my phone and called Knight."Hey, Man! Where have you been? You promised to meet me at Kun's place yesterday but you never showed up. I called several times and sent a lot of messages. I even went to your place but you weren't there either. Where have you been?" He questioned and I let out a deep breath.I already expected that much from him after I didn't answer their messages and calls for a long while. "I was in the hospital," I replied simply and there was silence for a while."Are... Are you okay?" His tone turned worried and I chuckled."Of course, I'

    ADRIAN'S POVI rolled my eyes and looked away "You should know it can't be that easy. We were just friends from the beginning so there's no way things can change that fast." I replied and smiled. "Then again, Austin has always been straight," I added bitterly. That was the hardest part of the whole thing, he had always been straight, and making him like me as a guy wouldn't be that easy.Kun clicked his tongue and sneered "So were you but you changed because you liked him." He mocked.I shook my head "That's not right. I've always liked him since when we were young. I just never showed it. I feel like I've always not been sincere with myself about my feelings from the beginning. I never really liked girls." I explained to them as I walked over to a seat and sat down.Kun and Knight walked over and sat too. "That's tough then," Kun mumbled."There's a trouble here though," Knight suddenly said.I raised a brow as I opened my food "What's that?" I inquired. The aroma of the food that en

I asked and he chuckled.He looked at my hands and frowned slightly, "You forgot my laptop?" He asked, raising a brow."I'm sorry. I will go back to pick it up when you are done eating. Are you okay with that?""I'm okay. Let's see the food you brought." He smiled and collected the lunch box from me.Austin opened the food and his eyes widened. "Did you cook this?" He asked with disbelief written on his face but I shook my head~"It's the maids," I replied. "Do you want me to make something for you?" I teased and he raised his eyes to look at me.He was silent for a while as he took his first bite, his eyes still on me. "Do you think you can?" He raised a brow in response.I blinked and bit my lower lip, Austin at this moment was looking so enchanting and he made my heart race. His clear eyes seemed to penetrate my heart and his lips kept calling me in.I closed my eyes and

He removed his clothes until he was only left with his boxers before he picked up a towel "You haven't removed your clothes?" He asked with a raised brow and suddenly chuckled "Or are you planning to bathe with your clothes on?" He pointed and started laughing.I was confused, my mind felt a little blank and all I could see was the white flawless body in front of me. Austin was handsome.Damn! He was fucking handsome and hot!His body was like that of a supermodel. He had a face that would make both men and women drool ... He could be described as perfect!My eyes were fixed on his body but I still opened my mouth "I will remove the clothes," I had turned into a robot at that moment.My hands were working faster than my brain!I removed my clothes and placed them on a seat, leaving only shorts on as I walked toward him, still staring at him with a dumb expression

He walked over to me with a smile on his sinfully handsome face which always asked for a punch.The only person who could beat Jason in terms of good looks was Austin!Darn it!I felt the urge to slash that face right now!"Adrian, What's up? What are you doing here?" He asked, his voice was soft and welcoming, adding to my anger.I sucked in a deep breath and pocketed my hands "Oh, I'm here to meet Austin," I replied.

I'm already at the house," I told her.Her expression changed a little and the happiness in her eyes dimmed "Son, do you really have to do this? I don't like you working so hard when you are still so young," She tried to persuade. We'd talked about this more than ten times already."I'm not young anymore, Mum. I'm 22 already and I have to work hard. I will start my internship in a few months too, I'm an adult already," I replied and rolled my eyes "Austin is only 21 and he's already working so hard. He's so rich that he could make my dad bow for him, you do remember that I'm still a year older than him, right?" I asked, staring at her.My mother shook her head "You can't compare yourself with Austin, Son..." Her eyes widened and she quickly covered her mouth. "Hey, I didn't mean that, you know?"I stare

She's indeed cute ~However, She isn't my type. Yes, Abby isn't my type.Since I've grown enough to fall in love with someone and spend a few years of my life with them, I've grown to have a deep interest in intelligent people. Not just being intelligent but also smart, cool, good-looking, reliable, and most of all... Able to ignite deeper feelings inside me. With all these things, Abby is indeed intelligent (enough for her level), not that smart but manageable, cool but somehow childish, good-looking, let's forget about the reliable part, but she had never ignited any deep feeling inside me before. True, I love seeing her. She was the kind of person who always put a smile on my face whenever I saw her, but that was only because she was adorable.

    AUSTIN'S POV "Will you continue pretending? It doesn't cost me anything to destroy you, you know? With a phone call, your entire family will be eradicated from this country without a trace, you know, right?" I asked, my eyes piercing through her. What was she thinking in her bony head? Did she expect me to believe her just because she was acting cute? Sincerely, her actions only irritated me more...For someone who was tricky and filled with dirty thoughts like her, she would never gain my sympathy. This wasn't even about her age. She clocked 19 today, which meant she was an adult already. So, she should know what was wrong and right. She staggered backward, and her face turned pale. She looked at me with fear in her eyes, "I will tell you the truth," Her voice was low and cracked. I crossed my arms and glared at her, "Go on," I ordered. She swallowed and lowered her eyes, "My friends have always been talking about how fun sex is. They would talk about their boyfriends and how t

    AUSTIN'S POV I helped him to the car and we drove home. Getting home, five maids were waiting anxiously at the door, surprising me. "What are you doing here?" I asked, staring at the maids. The maids looked at us and bowed their heads, "Young Master, you rushed out of the house without saying a word to anyone. We thought something had happened and were anxious," one of them replied. Hearing that, I rolled my eyes and walked past them. As much as I wanted to tell them, it was alright, my anger was higher, and I couldn't bear to talk nicely to anyone. I entered the house and led Kelvin to my room. "You should relax here," I told him. He looked shaken, but fortunately, he was no longer crying. He nodded and picked up a towel before heading toward the bathroom. While he was in the bathroom, I quickly picked up my phone to check Knight's house. Not long after, Kelvin returned from the bathroom. I had already prepared casual wear for him, which he put on and lay in bed. "I should fee

    AUSTIN'S POVLaying in bed, my mind was filled with the thought of what to give Adrian on his birthday. He would be having his 21st birthday in a few days, and I had nothing in mind yet. I could have asked my friends, but then, none of them knew Adrian as much as I did, and I knew he would prefer something that showed how much I cared about him. Yet, that was the problem I had at the moment. Preparing a gift for him wasn't difficult, but showing how much I cared was the issue. If I were to measure how much I love and care about him, buying him the world wouldn't even be enough!I rubbed my hair and rolled around in bed. It was my first time facing so much trouble because of birthday gifts~I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes. Ticket to an exclusive novice cinema?A set of newly released sneakers?A trip?Group vacation?Identical robot?There were so many suggestions, but none of them looked good enough, and it troubled me. Buying something for Adrian looked like he was so rich

    KNIGHT'S POV "Yes, it's me," I replied, staring into his eyes. Truthfully, this felt like a dream to me, too. I never expected this sort of situation to come up, and even though I've dreamt about it so many times, I'd never held hope that my dream would one day come to reality. Yes, I'd been dreaming of being together with Kelvin for a very long time. It wasn't love at first sight. It was more like love amidst hate.My heart started beating for him when Austin and Adrian were kidnapped. I and Kun were very worried about Adrian, and so were Austin's two friends, Kelvin and Tine. While Tine was able to stay strong despite the fear and worry, Kelvin was unable to. I caught him crying in the school's bathroom so many times, and there were times he would place his head on his desk and start crying. He was vulnerable, and even though I knew I was vulnerable too, I still felt the urge to wipe his fear and comfort him. I would think of him every night after that. I would see myself comfo

    KELVIN'S POVThe day of the party finally came, and here I was, sitting alone amidst strangers. Tine and Austin refused to come with me, and according to them, they had too many assignments to do. It was still acceptable that Austin had a lot to do. Apart from his father's companies, he still had his modeling job and his shooting training. He had so much to do that I felt bad for him and didn't even try to convince him to come with me, but what about that useless Tine that had nothing to do? That punk literally sleeps all day!Yet, he told me he had somewhere to go with Austin and refused to come with me. Wait, there must be something wrong with him these days. I knew he was always attached to Austin and would rarely leave his side, but that was getting too much these days. Could it be that the two are planning something that I had no idea about?Or could something be wrong with Austin?The thought of that made me scared and worried~ "Kelvin!" The sound of my name being called bro

    TINE'S POVI immediately drove down to Austin's house, and as expected, I saw them playing a video game. I knew that was what they would be playing as it was one of Austin's favorites, but I was still very bothered. "Tine, you're here," Austin only looked at me briefly as he said. He was busy playing, and the urge to not lose could be seen in him.I nodded and walked over, sitting beside him, "You've won twice," I commented. I'm totally ignoring both Jason and Adrian. None of them was important. Austin smirked, "You should know none of them is as good as me," He boasted, and I laughed. "Can you continue the game for me? I need to check what's on fire," He said. My eyes twitched, "You're cooking?" I was a bit surprised. Austin hated to cook~He shrugged and stood up, "The maids had to clean the family house, and I wanted to entertain my guests. So, I decided to cook," He explained. "I told you I should be the one to do it. You and I know how bad of a cook you are," Adrian butted
