Ethan slammed the door as he got inside the car. His face was frowning, but at the same time, he was feeling relieved. He sighed. He thought he would never get to see Chad again. He wanted to, but not like this. He's Chad's boss now, and that makes things complicated and awkward. Or so he only thought.
"Why did you leave right away?" asked Yohan as he got inside. "I thought you knew one another and thought that it's okay?"
Ethan sighed. "We were something before. Not that deep, but it is sure meaningful. Now, that day we slept into his house, that should've never happened."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want you to know about him and tell my father about him. I don't want anyone to know about him and me, even if that happened way back months ago."
"Why would you think that I would tell your father?"
"Because you're a loyal dog to him."
Yohan sighed and chuckled. "My only objective is to bring you home when you already have a wife."

It's the start of a new term. Ethan hasn't got himself enrolled yet, and for the past few days, he's done nothing but slacks off and enjoys the time while there isn't class yet. The new year that he celebrated with Chad, Chelsea, and Yohan had ended. They went home after that day. Although, he still doesn't know how to react to what Chad tells him."It was still a fresh breakup, Chad," Ethan said that day."I'll still wait. I always will."He also hasn't talked to Chrystyn yet, nor given her any message. He didn't receive a message from Chrystyn either. But he's sure that they are still friends up to this point. Friends do ignore each other at some point, right?Still, he gave Chrystyn a message. The schedule of enrollment has already started, and today's the last day. He wanted to ask Chrystyn if she had herself enrolled already or if she had been waiting for Ethan to text first as well.He sent the message.Chrys, have you enrolled yet

"I am Ethan Ring. Twenty-three years old, but turning 24 this year, on the 14th of February. I studied here in my 1st semester as well. That's all," Ethan said as he sat down, still not taking his eyes off of Chad, who had been grinning.Chrystyn looked at him with her eyes asking, 'did you know about this?' but he shook his head as his response. Did Chad lie to him? Was he lied to all along? He tried to recall all of their conversations, but he was sure that Chad said he was in this department. Now, thinking about it, he did not even ask what year he was in.Did he just jump to a conclusion? No, it's Chad's fault for not telling me, he thought.The introduction goes on for twenty minutes. He badly wanted to ask Chad why is he standing there and acting like a professor. As Chad walked from corner to corner of the room, he noticed something shiny on his neck. It was looking expensive. It sure is because that's what he gave him durin

The class has ended. They are having a thirty-minute break before Chad's class starts. Ethan and Chrystyn have been walking on the campus on their way to the cafeteria. They plan to eat dinner since it would be late when they get home after Chad's class.Chrystyn pushed the door, entering the cafeteria. Ethan has roamed his eyes around and saw that only a few people were dining in the cafeteria. As he has heard, there are much lesser night classes than in the morning. They took a seat right in the very corner.They left their bags on the table and went to the counter to order some food. A soon as they had paid in the cashier, they went back to their table. Ethan heard the door open, and when he saw who it was, his eyebrows furrowed."Mellow," he said under his breath. They made eye contact. Mellow raised her brows and smirked.As soon as they crossed paths, Mellow whispered, "I'll dig something dirty to make your life miserable – I'll make sure that

"Then I'll agree," Ethan said as he crossed his arms.Chad stood up straight. "We're together now?""No. You asked me to dinner, right? I agree to that."Chad smiled. "When?""This incoming Sunday. If you do not have any classes, professor," asked Ethan as he emphasized the last word. He went out of the room after that leaving Chad behind. He smirked while walking down the corridor.He arrived at his unit after that. Yohan greeted him with dinner. He's been so used to having Yohan around, but he feels just independent when he goes home alone. Yohan drives him every afternoon and then goes on his way home. Sometimes, Yohan will also get himself busy with the apartment every morning."Yohan, you act like my financial assistant," said Ethan one day when he saw Yohan inputting digits on his tabs and managing his finances."Because I am. I want to help manage your finances because you cannot just spend something personal coming from the in

Ethan brushed his hair as he went down the stairs. "Where's my snack?"Yohan pushed the plate on the table. It's toasted bread with strawberry jam."I hate strawberries," Ethan said, but he still proceeded to eat it."I got to tell you something," Yohan said as he looked at Ethan, busy eating. He was slightly in a rush because he had taken a nap and hadn't woken up by his alarm.Ethan rolled his eyes. "Yohan, if you just woke me up, I'll have the time to listen to you, but now, I do not have.""Well, I think you do not want to listen to this.""Why?""Because it is about the apartment."Ethan shrugged. "You're right. Keep it to yourself."Yohan rolled his eyes. When it comes to the apartment, Ethan hasn't had the energy to listen to it. The only thing is that it generates income to keep them alive and make more developments on their apartment. He just let Yohan lead the way, and he'll oblige. Now, Yohan thinks he's more

"Why the hell didn't you tell me a thing?" asked Ethan as he dropped the utensils on the table.Yohan shrugged. "Well, clearly because you weren't interested in everything that I say. Earlier, I was about to say it, but you said you are not interested and just keep it to myself.""You!" said Ethan. He wanted to protest more but what Yohan had said was somewhat true. It's his fault for not paying attention and for not giving any care to the apartment. "When did we have a function hall?"We got it constructed last time."Ethan looked so puzzled. "Wait. How? I mean, why? And why was it so fast?""I have observed other competitors see what areas we are lacking, and to what areas will give us an advantage. I have already added a pool area, and a function hall, and a bar too."Ethan looks amused. The only time that he went there was when he needed to meet the staff. Other than that, he never visited again. Maybe, there's a part of him that thinks

Ethan still has not yet gotten used to working in his office. And he was working with Chad. It has been days when he started working, and that also means there are only a few days until the acquaintance party takes place.Chad's classes are on Wednesdays and Fridays. And right now, he's looking at his schedule."Wednesday," he said as he looked at Chad, busy working on the paperwork. Chad did not enter his office after that day. He's just looking at him from behind. Sometimes, he goes to his mini living room and watches television. When it's already afternoon, Yohan goes to his office, and they'll go together to the parking lot so Yohan can drop him off at the university.He's really trying to get used to that routine. Even though sometimes he feels useless because he just sits in his office and waits for the afternoon to come.He propped his elbow to the table and just looked at Chad, who had been busy working. He wonders if he's just the same as the oth

Ethan pushed the rack of clothes and pulled out the navy-blue dress. "I think this dress suits you, Chrys."Chrystyn looked at it and sighed. "Hmm, I don't know. The color seems dull, though."He put it back on the rack and pulled out another one. He poked Chrystyn and pointed out the red dress with a high slit. "How about this?""This is gorgeous!" said Chrystyn as she grabbed the dress from Ethan and placed the dress in front of her body as she looked in the mirror. "I think I like this."Ethan has paid for the dress. Sure, Yohan said he could spend money on his attire, but he realized that he'd just go with the black suit he has on his home. Now, he's treating Chrystyn to the dress that she liked. He can see that it suits her too. All they know is to purchase a mask.They entered another shop just two blocks away from where they were. Ethan admits that he's been looking forward to this occasion, particularly that Chad asked him out. He also like
