Chapter 81: Threats and Mistakes

Chapter 81: Threats and MistakesKai’s P.O.VWhat if Night had already misunderstood the situation? I realized that the look of shock on Night’s face was slowly turning into anger as he started at the woman. Suddenly, that sense of dread in the pit of my stomach intensified until I was left grasping at straws for a few moments, not knowing what I could do to make this situation better.My blood ran a little bit colder when I realized the implication of Night thinking I was getting on with this girl, so I struggled to voice out my excuse, forcing my voice past the lump forming in my throat. “Night! Thank god you’re here; you gotta help me get this drunk lady off my back. She thinks I’m her ex. She keeps trying to cling to me. I swear…this isn't what it looks like.”For a second, I thought Night would laugh before helping me with the ridiculous situation I was in. Instead he seemed… angry.He had his eyebrows furrowed, his jaw clenched so tightly that I was worried he would hurt his tee

Chapter 82: The Old, Fancy Life

Chapter 82: The Old, Fancy LifeNight’s P.O.VI couldn’t get away from Rosalie’s clutches fast enough. She had stalled, keeping me from going after Kai, and no matter how much I tried to blame her for all this mess; I knew she wasn’t the actual problem.I shouldn’t have kept this from Kai to begin with…and now that he had learned the truth from an outside source, I was worried that he would be getting the wrong idea.However, that conversation with Rosalie seemed to have taken a really long time, because when I finally got back to the hall where the shooting had taken place, I found that the entire Student Council was gone and the volunteers were already starting to wrap up the equipments and decor.The set was slowly being put away—chairs and tables folded and neatly tucked into boxes, clothes and props stored properly according to function, backdrops rolled and loaded into storage.Something about this whole setting felt symbolic…as if it wasn’t just the set being torn down, but min

Chapter 83: No Matter What

Chapter 83: No Matter WhatNight’s P.O.VI watched with raised eyebrows as Kai heaved, his breath coming in pants as he got everything out of his system.“Are you done?” I asked coldly when he fell silent, and he fixed me with his sharp gaze, his jaw clenched and hands fisted at his sides. There was intense anger in his eyes, but the pain in them was unmistakable.The sight of his hurt somehow pulled me a bit out of my own angered daze and I took a deep breath, closing my eyes momentarily to regain my composure.Nothing good would ever come out of fighting fire with fire. I was standing here before him to try and fix things between us, not make it worse. So punching our way out may seem like the easy way to get frustration out, but it definitely wasn’t rational.I tried to soften my expression. “If you must know, I never planned on going back to my “old, fancy life” or marrying Rosalie the way my parents wanted me to,” I said, trying my best to keep my voice even so as to avoid furthe

Chapter 84: Leave You Halfway

Chapter 84: Leave You HalfwayNight’s P.O.VIt was a long, silent ride back to the apartment. I think we were too tired to start a conversation. That, or we were simply reserving our energy for the long talk we were sure to have when we got back to our place.Whatever our reasons were for staying silent, the atmosphere in the car was heavy with unspoken tension, and even though the radio was playing some hip-pop songs I would have jammed to in a regular situation, it did nothing to ease the chill that hung over us like an oncoming storm.I glanced at Kai from the corner of his eyes, but I couldn’t really judge his expression. He seemed impassive, but his white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel told a different story.Once we finally parked at the driveway, we both wordlessly climbed out the car and went up to our unit. And when I say that no words were exchanged between us as we both washed up and got ready for the possibly long night ahead, I mean there literally had been no verba

Chapter 85: One Bad News after Another

Chapter 85: One Bad News after AnotherKai’s P.O.VI woke up early the next day, nudged awake by my own brain, who thought it would be funny to replay the moment Rosalie approached me at the gates of the university.Reliving the nightmare all over again wasn’t my ideal way to get up, but now that it was stuck to my mind, I was guessing this was going to be one of the many nights that I was going to witness this scene.Night was fast asleep beside me. He had shifted away at some point in the night, his back against me as he curled in on himself. Carefully detangling myself from the blankets, I stood up from the bed, before covering him up and tucking him in. He needed to rest after everything that happened.I went to the kitchen to make breakfast for us, my mind going from my encounter with Rosalie to Night’s confession last night. I opened the cupboard and took out a box of Kraft Mac and cheese, because I was feeling like having some Mac and cheese today and I couldn’t be bothered wit

Chapter 86: Trust

Chapter 86: TrustKai’s P.O.VFor a moment, we both just stood there, the silence between us almost suffocating. But then the sound of boiling water reached my ears, snapping me out of my thoughts.“Fuck!” I yelped, then sprinted out of the room to get back to the kitchen just as Night snorted and placed the phone on the table. I grabbed the carton and dumped the elbow macaroni noodles in the pot and watched as Night casually stalked over to the bathroom, where he began brushing his teeth.His casual demeanor surprised me. Was he trying to ignore his emotions and internalize his pain? If he continued to do this, it would only hurt him more in the end. I couldn’t help but worry about him as I watched him go about pretending as if his modeling career didn’t just come to an end.I continued to prepare the Mac and cheese as I waited for Night to finish cleaning up and come out of the bathroom. By the time he did, I had already finished assembling our breakfast and it was all neatly laid o

Chapter 87: Emotional Distress

Chapter 87: Emotional DistressKai’s P.O.VI thought the worst was over; I thought that even if the war had not yet been won, at least the battle had been triumphed. I thought I had been silly for worrying about how this whole thing was going to affect Night as well as my relationship with him.I had been entirely convinced that Night was actually unbothered by this whole thing, but it seemed that he wasn’t. And it was around the afternoon of the same day when things suddenly went downhill.He had gone to the washroom to shower, while I was studying for a test that came right after the Campus Hotshot contest. I had been trying to fit this into my schedule for a while now, and was only able to work on this today.And so, I took out my notebooks and sat on the table to work on my test while Night showered, but all of a sudden, there was this crash in the bathroom that shook the floor slightly.Startled, I looked up from my notes and scrambled to my feet, knowing that something might hav

Chapter 88: Slivers of Confidence

Chapter 88: Slivers of ConfidenceKai’s P.O.VI sat next to the bed as Kia set up the IV drip on the other side. I watched as she fiddled with the bag and the drip stand and looked away when she set up the channel in Night’s arm. But I knew my sister was a quick worker and in no time, she was finishing up already.“He needs to rest and be taken care of properly,” she said as part of her final reminders. “I really think that the hospital can treat him better, but I guess this will suffice too. I’ll stay for a bit to see if the medication is working.”But I was only half-listening to what she was saying. I couldn’t help but think of how this happened; from the way Rosalie suddenly appeared to upend our otherwise relatively peaceful lives, to his father taking control of his life from behind the scenes, pushing his son away from personal happiness.How could I possibly help him out? When it comes down to it, I was starting to realize how powerless I really was.His father was too big an
