“Stop it.” Hayden shrank to the corner with his hand, trying to cover his waist, but Zenos pinned his hand firmly to the wall and began to use his big, warm hand to stroke Hayden's waist.“You're bullying me again.” Hayden gasped as Zenos pinched his waist.“Little liar,” Zenos called and buried his head in Hayden's neck. He suddenly bit Hayden's neck, which made Hayden hiss in pain. He tried to escape from Zenos' hold, but Zenos held him tighter. When Hayden had promised Zenos to bring him to the gallery, in fact, Hayden had only brought Zenos to his room because he was unwilling to let Zenos see the painting, which explains why Zenos was trying to 'coax' him.“Show me,” Zenos said while biting his neck and spraying warm breath on his neck, which made Hayden secretly wish that he could just be swallowed by the wall. This type of position simply gives Zenos the chance to bully him. “Or I'll do you right here, right now.” Zenos threatened him. Zenos' hand immediately slipped into his
“Where's Hayden?” Simon asked Zenos, who was slowly walking down the expensive stairs.“Sleeping.” He replied calmly while walking toward them.“Can we have a few minutes to talk?” Caleb speaks straight-forwardly, which made Zenos pause in his tracks. The other three turned to Zenos and stopped playing on their phones.“Sit down, please,” Simon said while pointing toward a sofa. Zenos sat on the closest sofa to him, which was next to Mason. Mason nodded to him in greeting, and he also nodded to him while mouthing a 'thank you' to Mason.Zenos knew Mason was behind Hayden's change from tanning to milky skin, and he also knew that the person closest to Hayden after Andy was Mason. Besides, Mason had also helped Hayden a lot, even though their relationship is sometimes like that of a dog and a cat.“I'll be straightforward with you: do you plan to be with Hayden, or are you casually playing with his heart? Ever since Hayden came here a few months ago, he had never been this happy.” Phil
The normal and typical Sean, the bloodthirsty one, would always chase after the cars with the intent to have fun. He may even go to the extent of telling Zenos not to butt in with the promise of solving the stupid men on his own, but because of Craig and his love for Craig, Sean had changed, and he had completely deserted everything to pursue his lover. The statement of chasing hoes before a friend. Now, Zenos finally understood a little of David's, Jude's, Xander's, etc. pain. Zenos was yet to leave Hayden's side when he began to miss Hayden, but thinking about how he wouldn't see the boy for two days made his mood make a 360° change. The car continued to move down the road until they arrived at a deserted road near the city borders, with green trees on each side of the road. The end of the road led to a village, and before the village was an open, big, and empty public parking lot that seemed not to be in use anymore. Zenos' driver drove into the parking lot with a wide smir
“Uh!” David was so jaw-dropped and filled with disbelief that he couldn't help rubbing his eyes with his fingers to check whether he was mistaken or not. His lips parted in a gasp as he watched Sean come in. Jude stared at Sean calmly, hiding his surprise. “You… Weren't you and Zenos at the same place earlier? How come you've returned quickly?” They all knew that after Sean's liking for fruit, his love for fun came next, or, one should say, his love for the two was on par, so seeing Sean return early shocked the two. They expected Sean to be messing with the stupid men, while Zenos should be the one returning due to Sean's orders. “Nothing. Not bored to play.” Sean shrugged in reply. He aimed to make memories with Craig in the few days they had left. How can he have time to fight with those men who are basically courting death by trying to track Zenos? David turned to stare at Jude, then back at Sean in disbelief. He eyed Sean from head to toe, and he could see that there was no
“Hey, kiddo.”“Mr. Ethan.” Hayden's excited voice called. There was a happy smile on his face as soon as he heard his dad's voice over the phone.“Mr. Hayden,” Ethan responded by imitating Hayden's excited voice.“Dad,” Hayden childishly drawled with a smile. “How's mom?”“Your mom is fine. How are you doing, son?” Ethan inquired. He carefully placed his phone on the speaker and closed his laptop before he returned his attention to the call.“Dad, I'm fine,” Hayden replied in a carefree voice, making Ethan hum.“Hayden, did you mention Hion to anyone?” Ethan suddenly inquired with seriousness, lathering his voice.“Hm, I told Zen after we chatted. Dad, why?” Zenos? Ethan fell into deep thought upon hearing that Hayden only told Zenos. Ethan knew Zenos had a mysterious identity; could he be related to Hion? Ethan couldn't help wondering.“Hion messaged, but it turned out that whoever chatted with us back then wasn't related to Hion…”“Does that mean the person is an imposter?” Hayden
“Who is this gangster trying to seduce?” Mason asked, which made Mia's expression change into one of anger. She pointed at him with a cold glare and said, “I swear I'm going to mess you up real bad if you don't shut it, Mason.” She roared at him angrily, which made him wave his hands in the air to signify his defeat.“Alright, I get it. Don't be angry, my man.” He uttered, which made her glare at him before he picked up his phone again.“You can never come to a stop!” Mia stomped her feet angrily and tucked her stray hair behind her ears. Mason always loved to see Mia infuriated, so he loved doing whatever would make her lose her calm. Mia sighed and decided to ignore him, but it was at that moment that she realized that bantering with Mason had successfully cooled her fretting. She realized that Mason had probably noticed her nervousness, so he had tried to make her lose her calm, which would make her mood return to normal. Besides, Mason's bantering with her also showed that th
(…)“Nonsense!” Hayden seethed and quickly left angrily. He was definitely done with all of his friends. He returned to the sofa he was sitting on while sulking. He was about to sit down when he noticed that something had changed. All his fruit had disappeared, which was certainly his stupid friends' handiwork. Now, he was over done! Hayden massages his forehead tiredly while pointing at the four, who pretend not to be aware of Hayden's dilemma.“You are all nothing but pure jerks.” Hayden sighed and downheartedly began to trot back to his room. “I miss Zenos. Always taking care of me, unlike my jerk friends, who used every chance they had to bully me. Scummy men.” He mumbled, but his words were clearly loud enough for them to hear while walking the stairs.“Alright, you can leave; we won't miss you.” Mason chimed in with a snort, which made Hayden give him the middle finger expressionlessly. “Jerk!” Hayden conveyed.“Hayden, are you sure you don't want to cut another fruit?” Phili
“Zen, it's been a while, but you didn't check on me yet; it can't be that you're breaking your promise already, can it?” Hayden's eyes were fixed on his phone dejectedly. Even after he slept and woke up, he couldn't even find as much as one missed call from Zenos on his phone. How is that fair? Hayden even scrolled through the numerous call logs, but Zenos' name didn't pop up at all. Hayden fell back to his bed with a pitiful sigh. What to do? He really missed Zenos. Hayden sat up and clenched his fist determinedly. He decided to call Zenos to chide him for leaving without reaching out to him for hours. How can he do that within how many hours? Hayden couldn't help thinking, 'What if Zenos left and doesn't even reach out to him anymore?' Hayden huffed and decided to teach Zenos that dumping him or not reaching out to him was the wrong and terrible thing to do.“Baby,” Zenos called calmly after picking up the call on the first ring. Hayden's anger diluted immediately upon hearing Ze
