"Baby, I missed you. You don't miss me. Craig, you're changing. Not clingy anymore." Sean pursed his lips and accused in a sullen tone. His voice was low and filled with grievances as if he had been truly wronged.Craig's lips twitched while thinking that what a dramatic Sean! He and Sean spoke every three hours, and they'd both spoken three hours ago. Earlier, Craig went to take his night shower early so he could speak with Sean unrestrainedly for the rest of the night.By the time he returned, he discovered that the three hours were up by ten minutes, and Sean had called him ten times within that timeframe.Upon hearing Sean's accusation, Craig's heart felt sweetened, and butterflies filled his system immediately. After all, Sean acting like that meant that Sean still belonged to him, and there was no chance for Xena. Not at all. Making him very confident!Craig placed the phone away from his ear and placed it on the bed before placing his call on speaker mode. His face flushed, an
“Boss. That person has returned to the mansion.” A masculine voice began to report from the other end of the phone.Zenos paused his typing; he silently stared into the distance and began to tap on the edge of the expensive desk rhythmically. His back straightened. “Mission?”“In the beginning, the person was on the search for Hion. But, ever since he was saved by young master Simon, he had gotten himself entangled with young master Simon, and he wouldn't let go.” The masculine voice obediently responded.Zenos’ eyes turned glazed; none of his thoughts were written on his face or in his eyes. He suddenly stopped tapping and resumed typing on his keyboard. “Protect Hayden and everyone.”“Everyone?” The masculine voice reiterated in shock, clearly understanding the meaning behind Zenos’ words. “Boss, does that include Miss Mia?” “Ehn.”“Young master, the mansion's security had increased in folds with our return.” The Bluetooth device in Prothero's ear transmitted the masculine voice of
Prothero's eyes fell on Simon, who was patiently in line waiting for his turn to buy movie tickets for the both of them. Prothero still doesn't understand why Simon will always patiently wait in line until it is his turn to buy a ticket instead of breaking the line or ordering a guard to get the things. It was as if Simon always took pleasure in trying to experience what being an ordinary person is.Prothero's eyes darkened in rage upon seeing a beautiful girl in a mini gown trying to woo Simon.His darkened expression calmed slightly when he saw Simon ignore the girl with a deadpan expression on his face.Perhaps the girl was embarrassed by Simon's alienation, or she felt Prothero's intense eyes that kept staring daggers at her because she fled immediately.Prothero's sharp jaw ticked, and his face turned deadpan. His hold on his phone tightened before he replied to Aetos in an expressionless tone, “I have something going on. I can't,” he firmly objected.His eyes fell on the outs
(A/N Dogfood: public display of affection.)(Long chapter. Sorry, there wasn't an upload yesterday. Thank you for the love, gifts, and comments. Love you. Thank you.)Familiar footsteps drifted into Hayden, Mason, Andy, Caleb, Philip, and Craig's ears, attracting their attention, but surprisingly, unlike the familiar swoosh or joyful strides of the person, the person kept trudging and dragging his feet one after the other.Each absentminded step he takes into the mansion reveals how hollow and stricken Simon is.Simon's eyes were sunken. His lips were pale and dry, and his face was pale as if it had been completely drained of blood.Simon's figure had turned frail as if he could be swept by the breeze. His whole person seemed to have been dealt a blow.Upon seeing Simon’s unusual behavior, Philip tilted his neck and blinked craftily. He propped his chin with his elbow and curiously eyed the hollow-looking Simon.Thinking about something, Philip curiously stretched his neck and gazed a
“Hey y'all, where have you been all day?” Mia cried out while exasperating dramatically as soon as the boys stepped into the mansion one after the other.“Men's secret,” Craig replied smugly and headed upstairs to his room. Feeling the continuous ringing of his phone. If he didn't return to his room to receive Sean's call, he was afraid that Sean would begin to throw tantrums.Mia wrinkled her nose and feigned a fierce glare at Craig before snorting. Those boys left the house early in the morning before she woke up. Unfortunately, she had no advertisement to shoot, nor did she have any interest in going to the studio, so she ended up staying at home alone—lonely to the core. Her heart was about to fly off with every second that ticked by being alone in the mansion.Mason leisurely strode over and threw his hands around Mia. “You missed your husband exceptionally, my man?” Mason retorted and gave her a mischievous wink before blowing soft kisses in the air.Immediately, Mia jabbed his
A FEW WEEKS AFTER.In the top airport in Grail State that morning, the seven boys, including a beautiful Mia—who cross-dressed into a man and put on a mask in order to prevent her fans from recognizing her—attracted the attention of many people in the airport, which they ignored. Although many people tried to take pictures of the outstanding eight-person team, the burly guards that surrounded them made anyone who wanted to take pictures of the eight rethink.Hayden took a deep breath and stared at Andy, who held the luggage filled with gifts from the seven, with pure relief in his green eyes. Looking at the smiling Andy, Hayden somehow felt so emotional, like a proud mother. It felt as if years had passed since the incident with Levi, but it was only a few weeks, and the thought that Andy was now better than before made Hayden extremely relaxed.Back then, when Andy came from Levi's place disheveled and looking so out of place, Hayden was so petrified by the thought that the happy-g
The faint smell of antiseptics and the hospital's familiar smell invaded Andy's nose strongly. Andy clenched his fist tightly, a myriad of emotions running through his mind.Andy hadn't expected that he'd have to see that devil spawn so quickly, but then... All those times Andy had met with the devil spawn were never planned. They just sprung so abruptly and caught him unaware.Andy's fist tightened, and he exhaled. It's just visiting a patient. He can do it.“Little brother Andy, you're here. I've missed you.” Accompanying Aria's dramatic voice were Aria's hands, which engulfed him in a tight hug.Immediately, Andy's tense body relaxed slightly, and he hugged Aria tight before separating from her. “Yes, I’m back,” Andy replied, and his gaze fell on Levi, who was sitting up on the bed. A gauze wrapped around Levi's head, and there was an IV drip connected to his hand. His face looked pale, and his eyes looked dull and dead, like an emotionless machine.Somehow, the image of Levi loo
(I'm so sorry for the late update. Had issues with the phone my writing file is on)Andy's fist clenched, his jaw tensed, and his nostrils flared in anger. He strode into Carbelle in a long stride, not paying attention to anyone who passed by or greeted him. So what? So what if Andy knew that person had secretly saved him or loved him? It won't move him a bit. Not at all!Just as Andy declared back then, they'll stay away from each other till the end of the world. That devil spawn had stolen all of Andy's first! Which means Andy had cleared all the debt he ever owed that bastard! Andy will never be moved! Never would he! Thinking like this, the rage in his eyes diminished slightly.Upon seeing one of his directors carrying a bunch of files, Andy's temple pulsed, and he couldn't help rubbing it slightly. Throughout the holidays, Andy has solved none of the company documents, which means that there'll currently be a lot of work waiting for him. Just the thought is enough to give And
