SEASON 1: My Powers, Past, and Myself.

⊱♥⊱╮ღ SWEET TEASERS ღ╭⊱♥≺

★✎✎★~KOFI'S POV~★✐✐★

I'm out of ideas! I don't know what to do. I'm making the last manuscript for this year, and the deadline is already near. I wish they give me something to inspire. Having writer's block is suck! Let me close my eyes and think. Then suddenly, I wake up in an unfamiliar place.

Where am I? This place is so dark, and I can't see anything. But, just before me, I can see a table with a lamp not so far enough. I slowly walk towards it with curiosity. I'm almost near, and I feel a strong breeze that touches my skin, making me shiver.

"Brrr... It's cold." My eyes caught the attention of a sundial. It's a kind of clock used way back in ancient times. "Wow, it's so cool!" I attempted to touch it, and then flashes of flashback went out of my mind.

I'm seeing a girl and a boy dancing through an ice-skating ring. I see them holding their hands while happily enjoying the moment. Another couple, making sweets. There's another bickering with each other, but in the end, they kiss. Oh! I love it.

I witnessed myself hit by a car and died from the last panel. I freak out, and I suddenly wake up to reality. "Phew, it's just a dream." Why does it feel so real?

It's almost noon, and sitting on my chair for hours makes my back aches all over. I might need to make lunch before I continue writing this story, and the deadline is almost near. Yet, the moment that I stand up, my phone rings. I'm seeing my best friend calling.

"Hello, Lucas. What's up?" I greet him with a smile on my face. It's been days since we haven't spoken. I miss him so much. So why does he contact me just now?

"Ahh, hey. It's been a long time." He pauses. "Are you at home right now? Have you eaten lunch?" While he asks me, I move and go out to my room and walk straight to my kitchen.

"No, not yet," I answer while I'm looking for something to eat in the fridge. I don't see anything to cook inside my fridge. I have some, but it's not enough for me to survive this week.

"Ohh! Great! Can we meet? I have something to say."

"Right now? It's so hot outside, and I'm too lazy. Just come over to my house and bring some takeout's." Good thing he called, or else I'm going to starve to death.

"Sure, why not. I love to, and I'll be there at 12:30 pm. Is it OK for you to wait?"

"Yes, sure, no problem." Then we hang up.

Not sure what to prepare, he is going here for lunch. To be honest, Lucas is not only my best friend but also my first crush. Why do I admire him so much? Because he is confident and I'm a softy. Days back between our high school days, he protected me from bullies, and he always stayed by my side.

A few moments later, the doorbell rings. I hurriedly walk in towards the door and welcome Lucas to my home. "You're late!" Looking at him from head to toe, he is just too perfect for me, and someday I hope he will like me. He is currently wearing a red polo shirt and jeans, his hair brushes upward, and it was combed clean. Yet, the way I look at him, I keep falling. Yet, I keep my composure not to give him any hint about my admiration for him. He is a year older than me. I'm already 26 years old. We've been best friends for almost 13 years.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. I got caught with the traffic." He apologizes. It's noticeable that he's been running to come over here. He looks so tired while breathing deeply. "Can I come in?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot." I open the door widely and give him a pair of slippers to use.

"Please don't mind the surroundings. I'm just tidying things up while waiting for you. Let me clear the table, I have so much writing to do, and my deadline for the new manuscripts is near." I explain while cleaning everything side by side.

"It's OK, and I don't mind." He makes himself comfortable on the sofa while preparing the food in front of him. "I'll prepare the food, and." He pauses for a bit, then our eyes meet. "I have something to tell you."

"Wait, let me put this to my room." I hurriedly entered my room and put my things on my bed. After I finish my business in my room, I walk outside and go to the living room. I noticed that he felt a little bit restless. "Hey, are you OK?" I gently tap his back.

"Ah, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks." The way he answers is not so acceptable to me. Finally, he straightens himself and looks at me. "The thing is, I'm going to Japan, and I would like you to come with me because it's a trip for two."

I'm surprised, and a little bit confused. "Hey! Why me?"

"Who should I ask, if not you? I know you've come since we're best friends." He explains and grabs a piece of chicken, then takes a bite.

"How about your girlfriend?" I ask, and I take some as well.

"We already broke up, weeks ago. I just didn't tell you since I don't want to disturb you."

"Oh really? Who initiated the broke up you or her?"

"She's the one who broke up with me, for her reasons. Not sure if she already has another man." I saw his eyes, and they were full of sadness.

"It's OK. There's a lot of fishes out there." Including me, of course.

"Back to the topic, are you in?" He asks while taking another bite of his chicken.

"I'm not sure if I can come. The reason is I'm catching up with my deadline for the manuscript that I'm writing." I pause and take a bite. "But, don't worry, I'm finishing it right now."

"OK, just let me know. If you have time, then let's take a vacation. I want a Japanese girlfriend, and you're going to help me to find one, haha." He chuckles.

"I'm not going to help you, and you're a womanizer." I'm here; why do you look for someone else.

"Kofi, how about your boyfriend? Are you guys doing well?" He looks at me with a grinning face. Is he teasing me again?

"Hey, stop that. We're not together. I'm too busy to date." I scold him.

He rolled his eyes, "I know your gay, and we already accepted you. You don't need to pretend to be straight. We've been best friends for a long time, and I think Arthur is serious about you. So why not going to try?"

"My standard is high, and I'm not easy to get." I sarcastically answer.

"So... your standard is me." Gosh! Don't joke like that. I punch him in his shoulders. "Awww... Sorry, haha."

"Do you want to get punched again? I'm still a guy, and I want to get married. And find the girl of my dreams."

"Oh? How about giving you, my ex? Do you like her?" Steph? That bitch, hell no. I'm much prettier than her. Kidding aside, we just talked about a few things before he left after lunch. Then we sorted it out. Even though he is my best friend, he loves to tease me for being gay. He keeps on pointing other guys at me, don't worry, I'm used to it. He doesn't allow anyone to bully me other than him. What a freak, right? That's why I keep thinking about why did I have a crush on him.

It's already 6 pm, I'm already exhausted, and my brain can't take it anymore. I need to recharge. I went to the kitchen and grabbed something to drink. I'm thinking right now if I should accept the offer, the trip to Japan. Is it a date? I wish so.

I'm hearing someone knocking.

"Wait! I'm coming." I go straight to the door and carefully open it since I'm curious to know who's visiting me right now. Ah, It's Arthur. Who is Arthur? He's the guy Lucas mentioned. Of course, every one of my friends knows that he is pursuing me, but that's only a joke because of a certain misunderstanding. So I'm not going to talk about it. "Why are you here?" I ask him while looking at him from top to bottom, and he is undoubtedly well dressed today. 

He is currently wearing a red suit. Why did he dress like this? People might misunderstand that he's dating me right now. He is three years older than me. He is half white and half Chinese-Filipino, but his skin color is more tan. He has the height of my ideal type for a boyfriend, and he is 6.3 feet tall! 

Please don't ask how tall am I! You're probably shorter than me, bitch. Just kidding, I'm 5.4 feet tall. The average height for women, if you're below 5.4 feet, then you're a minion. By the way, Lucas's height is 6 feet, yet he is hotter than him, even they were both good-looking. I'm also good-looking but in a feminine way, not masculine. That's why I keep getting chased by alpha males. Char! "Why can't I? Are you shocked that I'm too handsome?" He smiles.

"Stop joking, seriously. Why are you here?"

"Ahh, I'm just going to give this to you." He picks up a bundle of books and shows it to me. "These are the books you wanted to read. I bought everything you added to your cart." My eyes widened as I was surprised that he bought everything, but come he knows?

"Hey! How do you know what books I added to my cart?" I ask him with a smile on my face. Why do I feel so happy and excited with all the books he's holding right now? I look into him, and I just smile like a kid, then act like a surprise baby.

"Of course, I know I link your shopping id to my phone" Wait, what?

"What? How?"

"The last time we went outside, I hacked your phone." He proudly says that while looking at me with an evil smile. Sheesh! "And also, I would buy anything for you, my future wife." He shoves his face slowly towards me. I step back a little as I feel my face blushing.

"Don't joke around. I only consider you as a colleague." Ah, I forgot to tell you that Arthur is my assistance and a little clingy one. He is a very annoying person indeed.

"Why, because I'm straight, and you're gay?"

"Yes, if you're with me, then your gay? Don't lose your composure, OK!?" I raised my voice as I put my right hand on my waist, then I rolled my eyes.

"But, I would like to be gay with you." He moves his face towards me while grinning, and our face is so close that the tip of our nose meets.
