He washed up, changed his clothes and went out to see Christopher sitting in the living room, busy with his phone. "Let's go." "Yeah." Christopher stood up had his car keys with him and both boys left the apartment. Christopher didn't say anything about Miles getting drunk and all, they talked, listened to music and in no time, they were at the convenience store. "Come on, take whatever you like to eat okay. I'd go to the vegetable section and take some veggies." Handing the basket to Miles, Christopher left. Miles looked around and saw that it's quiet bigger convenience store than the one that is near their house. He looked around and added things in the basket that he thought Christopher would like to eat. He was done in no time and right then Christopher also came back. He had a small paper bag in his hand that he put in his pocket. "I've added things that I thought you'd like. You can change if you don't like them." Miles gave the basket back to Christopher. "What have y
Lucas woke up at the couch again, but this time the couch isn't his. He looked around, the light from the open kitchen window is illuminating the living room. He groaned while sitting up. Tapping his hand all over the couch to get his phone in his hand, he finally found it. 6:55 am. It's still early. He dropped back on the couch. But right then he sat up again. "Where the hell am i?" Looking around at his surrounding, Lucas saw the familiar building. He stayed at Moura's place last night. He doesn’t even remember when he slept but he just spend the night there. Standing up he made way to Moura's room and knocked. There was no reply, so he knocked again. "Wake up, sleepy heads." "Ah, you are so loud, so early in the morning." Willie replied in a sleepy voice as soon as he opened the door for him. "We got school today; I'm heading home and you two also get your asses off bed now." Lucas slapped Moura's butt who was lying on his side, sleeping soundly. "Yahh!!" Glaring at Luc
Miles has successfully dodged Lucas till now, and he wishes that he should till the end of the day and the other day and the other and as much as he can. He's thankful to Robin who saw Willie and told him right away giving him time to flee from there. He's good now, out of people's eyes. He breathed in relief that the gym class will soon be over, and he'd be good to go for the rest of the day. "We'll never get free~ Lamb to the slaughter~ What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?~ Hi there, little lamb." Miles flinched as soon as he heard the first sentence, but he didn't get too much time to react as he was grabbed by both of his arms immediately. "Let go of me." And here forgot, it's not just Lucas, there are other monsters too. "Come on, I'm not that bad looking that you have to flee every time you see me." Josh pouted, skipping close to Miles's face. "Look at you, still trying to run away." "Please, I didn't do anything this time." Miles pleaded. History is t
The half day have passed, and Lucas still couldn't find Miles. The only thing different this time was that Robin and Sara; both couldn't find Miles as well. Earlier this morning, in the gym class, when he called Sara, she was so confident and sassy because she was well known about Miles's whereabouts but this time the concern and tension imprinted on her face was the clear indication that she has no idea where is Miles. "Did you find him?" He asked Willie who just came back by checking again the major places Miles used to be at school. "No, i checked the library list as well, he never went to Library today." Willie told him, as Lucas mentioned that Miles visits library more often. "Why the hell is he hiding and where? Why is it so hard for me to just fucking talk to him?" Lucas pushed his long strands of his red ended hairs back and roamed his hand on his face. He probably has cursed as well as he was tired as hell and the things are getting out of control. "Can you at least
Cal was walking here and there, pacing here and there. His mobile in his hands, and his face filled with worry. "Stop please. My head is hurting by looking at you like this." James said as Cal has been pacing like this from quiet sometimes. "He should've replied by now. I don't know what's the problem, but he doesn't seem okay to me. I've even sent him the pics, there's no way he didn't have reply." Cal huffed finally dropping on the couch beside James. "Calm down, he might be in the class. See, it's his class time." James showed him his watch. "How long does it take to reply? At least seeing the pic wasn't hard." He whined. Opening the message app once again, he looked the messages weren't even seen yet. And just then the pics showed the blue tick, "oh God, he saw the pics". "See, i told you, he must've been in the class." James smiled. "But he still didn't reply." Cal whined more. "Oh, come on babe, he will? He always does, right?" James assured him. Although he show
Miles's breath got stuck in his throat when he hit the wall. He thought of falling on his knees, but it didn't happen as the strong grip on his collar kept him stable and attached to the wall. "Come on, let me see my artwork." With his single finger, he made Miles look at him. The dread, tears, and puffiness of Miles's face made him so devouring that it was unexplainable for Josh. "You look super cool. I did a good work on you." He replied with a smirk and bend a little to get face to face with Miles. "Are you okay baby Miles?" Listing to him, mocking him openly, Miles don't know where did he get the courage but he pushed Josh from all might and Josh stumbled. Miles stood strong on his feet and saw Josh's back hitting the chest of his other friend. "STOP TROUBLING ME. I'M NOT YOUR TOY TO PLAY!! LEAVE ME ALONE." Although he regretted it immediately when Josh glared at him. The momentarily adrenaline rush was gone, and his body filled with nothing but dread. Josh looked like he
James was busy with the people who just came to buy the part of land that he decided to sell for making the arrangement of money that he needs for visiting Miles. He saw how Cal has gradually got quiet. He misses Miles, there's no hiding in it. Miles was the light of their house; he kept their house illuminated and happiness surrounded it. But ever since Miles went to Brooklyn, a major part of their lives have been effected. "James, this is the best land i have ever seen. Why are you selling it? You have worked so hard on it." The person who came to see the land and buy it if he liked asked. "I know but i have something else where i have to invest it so, imma sell this now." James didn't smile too much. This land is his favourite, it was the first land his father bought. He has seen how his father used to take care of this land. "Oh, i see. I like the land, imma buy this. Say the money." The buyer asked. "1 million Won." James said. "This land is very fertile, and I've culti
Lucas and Willie were staring at the wide eyes of Moura. What happened? "Who is this?" Moura's asked on the unknown voice. "I'm James Theo, Miles's elder brother. Who are you? And where's Miles?" James asked once again. Moura stretched the phone off his ear and looked at the screen one more time. His gaze then went back to Lucas’s, and he handed the phone to Lucas with trembling hands. Lucas didn't understand and he cut the call. He didn't have the courage to talk to whoever was on the other side. As much as he know, this number belongs to Miles's brother and he would most likely question about Miles and Lucas have no answers. "Muh-Miles? Who's he?" Moura looked at Lucas with dread filled eyes. "What do you mean?" Lucas asked. "Who is he? Wuh-who do he belong to? His family, anyone?" Moura wanted to confirm, he needed to confirm whether his theory was right or not? "I don't know. I only know that he's Christopher's best friend, came from Daegu and he has a brother whom h
