The thought of his undying intimate feelings for Yenny began to discomfort Chris.
This unforeseen awkwardness had been driving Chris to keep himself busy.
On the other hand, Yenny was totally unaware that Chris was already having a hard time, suppressing his growing awkward feeling because of her.
She's completely clueless that Chris has loved her for so long.
Yenny feels comfortable whenever she is with Chris, Ken and most especially with Jeremy. She really considers them her close friends, oftentimes her annoying but caring siblings.
She is 100% sure that no one, among her guy friends, would ever develop feelings for her. That is impossible to h
"I am very sorry, Sir Jeremy but I won't come back anymore. I quit nursing Sir Dave." Dave's new nurse, who only lasted for two months, left Horizon and quit her job in a rush. She suddenly reminded him of Yenny. His brother's new nurse and Yenny were the same. For sure, taking care of Dave terribly exhausted and terrified them at the same time. He could not blame them though, but his heart broke for a reason. They could have properly said goodbye but they still chose to leave, without personally telling him. Jeremy felt sad because he did want to at least sincerely thank them before leaving. He hated how this kind of farewell kept piercing his heart to the deepest, just like how his mom le
Jeremy just informed his best friends that Dave's new nurse already quit her job. They were taking their break in one of the coffee shops in Fermone National University. "We are all aware how frightening Dave becomes when he's throwing a fit. I hope she didn't get hurt. But let's say she's physically okay, the trauma Dave has caused her must be--" "We will help you find someone." Ken cut Chris in and then he patted Jeremy on his back. Silently cursing at himself, Chris just realized that he honestly spoke his mind, not noticing his truthful words anymore. If Ken did not cut him in, he could have blurted out Dave's horrible secret. He could not help it, especially that Dave clearly narrated and describe
"Throw me a housewarming party, please? I want my party to be fun!" Her eyes were beaming in delight. Unnoticeably, the guy sighed. He felt relieved that Gail's favor was not about Jeremy. "Does your silence mean yes?" Excitement was still on her face. "Do you know free will?" Chris teased her with sarcasm. "Can't you just do me that favor? Please?" Chris sighed as his response. Gail's expression suddenly dimmed. Her excited smile faded. "Everyone envies me, especially my girl friends, because I'm close with you, Ken and Jeremy. But you know what? I no longer fee
"Where are you??" Chris was obviously greatly worried. "I am just here at the park across Mauve." "Is there any problem?? Tell us." "There's nothing to worry about, okay?" "But.. It's still dangerous for you to be outside. What if Dave--" "I have to do something. It won't take long. I will be back before the night falls." Yenny cut Chris in. A deep sigh was heard from the other line. "Take care. Call me or Ken if something.. you know.." "Thanks for your concern but nothing bad will happen to me." Yenny
"You're..?" Serin. The name that instantly crossed her mind. Yenny could not believe her eyes. On the night when she was terribly harmed by Dave, because of dread and fear, Serin's face never registered in her mind. And this was the reason why she didn't recognize Serin when she saw her in the cafe a while ago. "Yes, that's me " Serin could not hide her happiness. She was so thankful that the girl before her looked totally fine. The world's really small, Yenny thought. When she found out from Chris and Ken that the girl whom she had asked for her help was Serin, she told them that she wanted to meet her so she could thank h
"Sir Jeremy." Yenny was no longer avoiding their eyes. "It can be dangerous, yes. But think of it, we are doing this for him. We want to protect him, we want to help him. And that's through Serin." Chris and Ken already knew what Yenny was trying to say. Serin could be Jeremy's strength. They were also aware that their best friend had already developed growing feelings for her. They're guys, too. They could feel it. That was why when they found out that Jeremy ended up letting her go, their heart broke for him. Jeremy did such a thing only to protect her. Serin had become the target of his distress. Seeing her suffer from his unstable emotions was no longer bearable.
Because of Dave's blasting screams, Ms. Fei and Tony Sean rushed to his room, out of their worry for Dave and Serin. When they entered the room, they hurriedly took Dave's hands off Serin. While Ms. Fei was assisting her to stand up, Tony Sean told her to make Serin stay away from Dave because he might be more violent towards her. They were so deeply worried about Serin that they kept apologizing for what she had to experience. That was the first time Serin saw Dave insanely throw a fit. As Ms. Fei was gently helping Serin walk to where Dave could not reach her, she reassured her that Jeremy was already near Horizon Town. As soon as they stood by the huge glass window, Ms. Fei asked Serin i
His hands were covering his mouth, avoiding to let out any form of sound, even the smallest. The truth was, Serin’s warning did not alarm nor scare him. He was actually trying to suppress the sudden happiness and excitement in his heart. The fearless girl, who was standing only a short distance from him, was an interesting sight. He had no intention to leave this mountain or run for his life, as Serin’s warning, because he would want to keep watching her sword fight. The stillness of someone watching her was infuriating her to the core. She was sure that someone was hiding behind those trees a few steps from where she was standing. She firmly gripped the sword in her right hand and alertly positioned her body in the best posture to make her first move. She had to attac
“Serin spoke in her sleep twice and during those moments, I vanished in the palace and appeared here in this present time. She must be wandering in her dreams, that’s what I am thinking right now.”Whirling emotions, Jeremy was having the same thoughts. Events that involved Serin’s dreams suddenly reappeared in his clear memory.On the night of his 18th birthday, he found Serin on Desf Road. He heard her call him Heron and when he was about to carry him, she longingly touched his face and painfully uttered, “Heron, you’re alive. I’m glad you’re alive.” Those were the same exact words that came out from her in her sleep before Sodon vanished in the past and was brought here in this present time.Jeremy could also remember the day he and Serin had a heated confrontation just because she went out of his condo unit without telling him. When they clashed for the first time, while her
When Jeremy began to notice that Dave had been treating him completely different from how he used to, he already knew why. Slowly getting closer to Serin, Dave had been falling for Serin. And with the fact that Jeremy was the one who found her on Desf Road and rescued her on that rainy night, Dave’s jealousy started to consume him. That was what Jeremy thought, but the painful truth was, Dave had silently hated him even before Serin came to his life.As his condition got horribly worse, Dave buried himself in a deeper state of misery. Since he fell terribly ill the day after his mom passed away, he had become miserably hopeless. He had been tortured and haunted by his own demons in his agitated mind. His own misery completely darkened his life. And the only one who could help him see even a spot of light was his younger brother.In his teenage years, Jeremy had to carry the heaviest weight on his shoulders. If it’s not for Dave, he could h
Criminal, that torturing word.The moment Dave uttered that word, his heart agonizingly broke. His confession, in an instant, took him to that gruesome and haunting night when he was nothing but a horrible monster.Year 2009, the night of his younger brother’s 14th birthday when he thought that his mom was busy in the kitchen preparing for the surprise birthday dinner for Jeremy. While he was in his room, suddenly the door opened.Dave’s body froze when he got caught using illegal drugs. With his mom’s widened eyes, both of them got completely shocked. His extreme nervousness made him throw the drugs in a rush, hands were quivering.Total gloom darkened Leona Sean’s face. Her steps towards her son got heavier. Her beautiful world fell apart.“W..Will you.. turn me in.. to the p..police.. this time?” Dave fearfully asked with his trembling voice and bloody red eyes.Leona
That phone call, in an instant, darkened his bright day. He was sure who was on the other line. That voice, he knew it.That was him, the old man whom he ran into Campbell Park across Tiffany Blue the night when odd occurrences terribly knocked him with shocking terror and absurd affliction. That was nine years ago but Jeremy could still remember him as clear as day. But that was not the first and last time their paths crossed.Five years ago, that old man suddenly showed up on Desf Road and gave him the black silk thread bracelet. And even until now, how that old man quickly disppeared before his sight on that endless and empty road still bothered him.When that old man called him Heron from the other line, for the first time in so many years, that name began to haunt him again. Like flashes of lightning that suddenly disturbed the tranquil dark sky, strikes of overwhelming fear started to frighten him.Jeremy sped up.
Serin suddenly woke up. That scenario in her dream was filled with strange familiarity.That mountain. That sword. That guy. Those men on horses. That old man.She could not help but feel like she had already seen them before, not in her dreams but in real life.In haste, she left the bed and walked straight to the closet. As soon as she opened it, she got her black dress.Looking at the embroidered name on the back collar, she felt sudden pain.She did have a name but her identity had remained mysterious. Her memory was still completely empty.Eyes locked on her black
'I'm glad that you're finally here.. right next to me.' It was like a sweet tune to her heart. Serin flashed a warm smile. The pouring rain became a beautiful shower in her teary eyes.No more hesitation, Jeremy fearlessly faced her. The girl, who was standing before him, had given him unfeigned strength during his silent battles. He had yearned for her which felt like forever. Every day and every night, he had waited for this moment. If it's just a dream, he did not want to wake up. But Jeremy was not dreaming, it's real. He was looking into Serin's beautiful eyes."Welcome back. It's nice to see you again." He was floating in a surge of profound happiness. Words alone could not describe what he was feeling at the moment.Serin exchanged tearful smiles with him. Her heart was also exclaiming in unexplainable delight. All those shared moments with him flashed back. From the first time their longing eyes met to the saddest day they p

Five years ago."I will send you the exact address, sir." A male voice said on the other line."You have done such a great job. I will call you if I need something. Thank you." Dave ended the phone call. Nervousness began to tremble him while hurrying downstairs.Carl, the private detective that he had hired, managed to find Yenny in just four weeks.As soon as he walked past the living room, someone, who was comfortably sitting on the luxuriously-looking sofa, caught his eyes. He stopped walking. 'What is she doing here?'"Hi, Dave!" Gail greeted him. She rose up from sitting and walked to where he was standing. She was displaying her beautiful smile. "Where are you going? You must be in a rush.""What brings you here?" He asked coldly."You still have the courage to show up this house after you caused a scene here a month ago?" Jeremy showed up. He was talking about the nig
Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??" Gail thought that Dave was just fooling around to tease her since he already knew that she had feelings for Jeremy."What if she really likes my brother, will you do something?""I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There was certainty in her voice. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must bore you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spitting non-sense.""What will I get if I play a joke on you?" He sounded so serious while his eyes were focused on driving.Gail looked at him. How his face plastered seriousness could tell that he was no longer teasing her. That's what Gail felt but the truth was, Dave was only acting. He had to fake seriousness in his voice and expression to persuade her that he was telling the truth.
