Three and a half years had passed, and everything was different. Perhaps..."Ederic, your phone keeps ringing. Are you going to answer it or not?" Jasver entered the younger boy's room with a vexed expression. Ederic, however, was fixated on his phone, his face displaying confusion. Should he answer it or not? His thoughts were interrupted by Jasver's voice as he shook Ederic, causing him to startle with a heavy gasp. Until that moment, Ederic had been entirely unaware of his surroundings."Ed... I've been trying to talk to you.""Hyung... I'm sorry, I just zoned out," he politely apologized. Ederic was impressively obedient in front of Jasver, even though he could be somewhat brusque with others. Jasver understood this aspect of his personality and couldn't seem to change it. He glanced at the phone's screen to see who was calling, letting out a small sigh before shifting his attention back to Ederic."Hyung..." Ederic locked his mobile and met Jasver's concerned gaze. He lowered his

"Hyung... You're not coming with me?" Ederic whined, trailing behind Jasver as the latter moved around to gather some files in the study."Sorry, Ed... I'll be there for your birthday party, but not before that day. I have some important work to finish. I hope you understand," Jasver's expression was serious, and Ederic grasped the significance of it. While he understood, he didn't want to face the Alit mansion alone.It wasn't that he was scared, but he was unsure about how to handle the situation. Pouting at Jasver, Ederic looked up at him, silently expressing his desire for reassurance."Aigoo... My Ed tiger is so cute when he's pouting," Jasver chuckled, finding Ederic's cuteness endearing. However, he still felt bad for Ederic, who harbored a fear of crowds, a fear that had developed after his move to the US.Jasver was concerned about how Ederic would handle the upcoming birthday party, especially with Mr. Alit likely planning a grand event."Okay, Hyung, but promise me. You'll

The garden was decorated well and the space was enough for 80 guests to stand without any obstacles.balloons were dancing in the guze of wind making a smooth sound and also making the atmosphere lively, banners which were filled with wishes for Ederic's birthday, they placed the Happy birthday wish in the foil curtains, and the servants were waiting with confetti to welcome their master, pom-poms were decorated with the foil curtains made it more beautiful, lights were winking their eyes at the respective guests who came to the party and brighten up the garden so well, in one word just so perfect, party hats were distributed to the people who were performing the music in the garden and entertaining the guest so well. Mr. and Mrs. Alit arrived with Ederic, who was the focal point of attention. He looked absolutely stunning in his suit. Even the other boys attending the party seemed captiva

Stepping back a few paces, Aaron traced his eyes of the aftermath of their passionate kiss, observing the visible signs of his work on Ederic's swollen lips, which now resembled ripe cherries. Taking Ederic's hand in his own, Aaron's grip was firm as he led the younger towards the bed.With a forceful yet controlled push, Aaron directed Ederic onto the plush king-sized bed, which yielded slightly under the impact of Ederic's body. Aaron's eyes, darkened by the influence of alcohol, held a luscious allure that seemed to mirror the intentions he had for Ederic. The air was thick with desire and anticipation as the two of them stood on the precipice of an intimate encounter.Aaron positioned himself on his knees atop the bed, his body leaning over Ederic's form. His heart pounded wildly in his chest, as though it could burst out at any moment. With deliberate intent, Aaron began a trail of wet, fervent kisses along Ederic's neck, each kiss accompanied by the slow and deliberate unbuttoni

Ederic found himself utterly incapacitated, unable to rise from his bed. His entire body ached as if he'd been through a grueling bout of combat. His lower body seemed nearly paralyzed from his perspective."Eat your breakfast," Aaron directed, placing the plate on the bedside table. Ederic's expression shifted. He'd hoped the elder would assist him, but it was apparent that Aaron had no intention of aiding the struggling kid before him.Just as Aaron was about to exit, the door clicked open, revealing a towering figure—Ryan. Entering the room, Ryan sensed the palpable tension between Aaron and Ederic, and his gaze caught the vivid marks on the younger man's skin. Clenching his fist, he remained silent. Ederic tried to muster the strength to rise, but his body had betrayed him. Aaron's prowess was truly something else. He was such a beast in bed."No need to get up, Ed," Ryan reassured him, offering a gentle smile.Silvery tears brimmed in Ederic's eyes. He'd missed this comforting smi
