ADRIAN'S POVIt took me all my willpower to ask him such a question and the first thing I expected from him was a slap but he only stared at me as if I had said something strange. "Can I sit here?" I asked again but he only continued staring at me without saying a word. "Can everybody settle down, please?" The professor shouted and I sighed. I didn't know he would be in class so soon. Without asking further, I threw my bag on the seat and climbed the desk to sit beside him. He turned his head to look at me and his eyes widened. "Have you lost your mind? Do you know who you are sitting with?" He asked and I smiled. "Of course. I know it's the most handsome guy in my department, Austin." I replied to him and I saw him frown. He looked at Kelvin and Tine who were staring back at him and his frown deepened "Can you explain to me why you are doing this? This is unlike you or have you truly lost your mind after what happened yesterday?" He asked me but I could feel the irritation in his vo
ADRIAN'S POV I had no idea why he drank so much and it bothered me because the Austin I knew would never be so reckless. I looked around for his friends but I couldn't find any of them and I frowned. "Where could they be?" I asked out loud as I moved closer to him and stood in front of him. "Austin," I called and he raised his head to look at me. His cheeks were red and it was obvious he was very drunk. He frowned "Who are you?" He squinted his eyes as if he couldn't see well and I chuckled. For some reason, he looked so cute when he was like this and I felt the urge to touch his cheeks but I stopped myself and looked at him "What are you doing here alone?" I asked him and he smiled. "I'm here to have a drink. My friends' lines weren't going through and I'm so sad. Can you have a drink with me?" He asked and I felt like laughing. I was sure he did not know it was me he was speaking to because if he did, he wouldn't be here speaking to me like this. He would have stood up, pushed me
Author's note: Hot scene. Skip if you are not comfortable reading this. WRITER'S POVThe two stared into each other's eyes for a while before Austin raised his head a little and planted a light kiss on Adrian's lips. Adrian was feeling conflicted, he knew Austin was doing all this because he was drunk and he would regret it if he woke up. He stood up to leave but Austin stood up too and grabbed his hand "Do you want to leave me like this? I'm sure you want me too." He said with a husky voice and Adrian felt his bolt loosening. His body was reacting weirdly and he was losing his mind. He forced a smile and planted a kiss on Austin's lips "Maybe I should just satisfy him? Who knows he might forgive me because of this." He said even though he knew it wasn't possible. He still wanted to satisfy Austin and he found it hard to ignore him when he looked so adorable. "Huh?" Austin grunted as a smile appeared on his face and he placed his hand on Adrian's neck as he pulled him in for a ki
AUSTIN'S POV I woke up the next morning feeling dirty and tired which surprised me but then I remembered I had gone to a club last night so I must have drank a lot there. I placed my two hands on my forehead and groaned. "This sucks," I mumbled as I struggled to sit up in bed and I noticed I was completely naked. My eyes widened and I was confused ~ heck! Something was wrong with me but I had no idea what it was. I tried standing up from my bed but my body felt sore... More precisely ~ My butt. I felt a freezing pain down there and I yelped in pain without meaning to. Did I hit my butt on something last night? I had no one to ask as it was a bit embarrassing and no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't remember what happened at all. All I knew was that I left home last night to drink alone and then, I saw a girl walk over to me but that was all. I had no idea what happened afterward as it seemed I had blanked out after drinking so much. I struggled out of my bed and entere
ADRIAN'S POVWaking up that morning, a lot of thoughts were running through my mind and I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I kept thinking about how Austin would react and what he would do to me if he found out what happened between us last night. Would he blame me for taking advantage of him when he was drunk? My mind wasn't at peace, I found it hard to even take my breakfast and the only thing on my mind was how to see him to see if he was angry or not. I ran away from home without having breakfast and got to school as early as possible but he wasn't in school yet when I got there. I entered our first class for the day and sat down, waiting impatiently for him when my friends came in and sat beside me. "You came early." Knight said and I smiled softly "Yes, I couldn't sleep so I decided to just dress up and come to school instead." I replied, surprising my friends who knew my attitude was strange because I was never the type to come to school even when I had nothing to do. "W
AUSTIN'S POV"What's wrong, bro? Are you okay?" Kelvin asked as he held my shoulder to stop me from pulling out my hair. I couldn't believe it, this had never happened to me before. I had always liked girls so why? Why did I do such a thing with a guy and not just any guy but someone like Adrian, the person who killed my father?I hated myself at that moment, I hated myself so much that I wouldn't mind if someone stabbed me in the back and just let me die in peace. How could I ever face my father after death knowing fully that I had slept with the person that killed him?I did not only save him from those kidnappers but also slept with him. My head was aching and my heart was clenching. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. "Austin, what's wrong?" Tine asked as he stood in front of me. "What did Adrian do to you?" He questioned further. I raised my head to look at them, hoping to say something at least but nothing came out of my mouth and I could just lower my head again. Seei
ADRIAN'S POVI didn't expect him to throw a punch but if there was something I knew he needed to do and had the right to do, it was to beat me up for what I did to him. I didn't feel any bad probably because I knew I deserved it and I couldn't even bring myself to even stop him. What pained me the most was the pain in his eyes, Austin was pained and I could see it. I beat myself hard inwardly, wishing I could return to the day before and undo what I did to him. I liked him, I wanted him but not in a way like this. I didn't want to hurt him at all. "What was that? Why was he hitting Adrian like that?" I heard some of our classmates ask and I grunted. "I was so shocked that I couldn't even move forward. That was unlikely of Austin and it seemed he cried before he left. What's going on?" Knight said as he moved closer to me. I looked at my friends as I tried to say something to them but no matter how hard I tried to talk, nothing would come out and I was frustrated. I walked to the
ADRIAN'S POV"Austin never misses school and he always comes early. So, what's going on?" Tine asked Kelvin who shook his head worriedly. "I don't know either. We should go to him after our first class. I promised to help him submit his assignment." Kelvin replied and the two continued walking. It seemed they were heading to their first class of the day. Seeing that they weren't talking about Austin anymore, I had no reason to follow them and I already got the information I needed anyway. "What are you doing here, Adrian?" I heard a familiar voice behind me and I turned my head to see that it was Kun and Knight. They looked at me and frowned "You look dull, are you okay?" Kun asked and I nodded. "I'm okay," I said as I picked up the bag I had dropped on the ground earlier and walked to my class. I thought about visiting Austin at home but I knew that wouldn't help matters at all. I was certain that the last person he wanted to see at the moment was me and I hate to make him angr
ADRIAN'S POV "You're finally here!" She greeted me excitedly and hugged me. "It's been a while and you've grown even bigger," "I've missed you so much too, Mum," I replied. We soon broke the hug and she led me to a seat. The women around her quickly dispersed as they had other things to do...They were the maids. "You didn't even tell me before you came. What if I wasn't around?" I asked, staring at her pleased face. She pouted and hit my shoulder, "I wasn't planning to come here. I was on a trip with friends and decided to stop here to celebrate your birthday with you. I wasn't around to celebrate last year's birthday with you and I promised to be there this year," She explained with a sweet smile on her face. I smiled in return and my heart warmed. "I understand, Mum," I replied. We talked a while longer before I turned to return to my room. It was already morning but I still felt sleepy. I was very tired and needed some sleep. Getting to my room, I removed my clothes and f
ADRIAN'S POV I let out a deep breath and turned to look at Knight, who was sitting on the ground. He was a total mess and his tears wouldn't stop flowing either. He looked extremely pitiful, and somehow, I could understand him. The most painful thing about love is when you hurt the person you love the most. I was certain this was the reason Knight felt so miserable. He would have never expected that his action would cause Kelvin so much pain~I crunched down and helped him up, "It's okay, Knight. It's going to be fine," I tried to console him. "You heard what he said. Do you think you are ready to sort this issue? Are you certain you can do it?" I asked after helping him into his room. Knight wiped his tears and nodded his head, "I will do whatever it takes to settle this issue. Aside from the problem I will be putting my family in, the thought of Kelvin suffering because of me is enough to give me the courage to do this. I hate this, Adrian. I hate that he's in so much pain beca
ADRIAN'S POV "I... I can do that?" I couldn't believe my ears. Austin nodded, "I will wait outside. Just don't disappoint me," He warned, and I immediately nodded. Disappoint? Anyone who disappoints Austin would be a pig!I immediately knocked on Knight's door before he could change his mind. I knocked more than three times before I heard the sound of the door opening, and I immediately covered the space with my body. The moment it opened enough for me to enter, I pushed myself and locked the door behind me. Maybe Austin would change his mind if he saw Knight's face. I couldn't joke with that!"Knight, you..." My words died in my throat when I saw the teary-faced Knight in front of me. He looked like he had cried, and there was even a sign of a tear underneath his left eye, which he wiped after I entered the room. "What happened?" I decided to just ask instead of fighting with him. Knight walked over to his bed and sat down. "Austin is here, right?" He asked, and I nodded. "He
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
