“Why would you write it like that?” said Ethan as he sent daggers to Chad with his eyes.
“Just a remembrance,” said Chad as he shrugged. “So, still haven’t heard from Troye?”
Ethan shook his head. They walked past the school supplies section and went to the clothing section. “I’ll be buying gifts for my family.”
“You know their size?”
“Of course. Also, you can choose your own.”
Chad pointed to himself. “Me? Oh, no. I accompanied you for free. No need to do anything for me.”
Ethan shrugged. “If that’s what you say so.”
Ethan picked up 5 different clothes for each of his family, and everything was branded. From formal to casual, he’s chosen it. He did not bother looking at a price – no matter how many zeros there are, he can afford it with no worries at all.
“Let me help you carry this,” said C

The car stopped. It’s one block away from the building. It was already very late at night, yet there were still people lurking around because it was the month of December. Ethan hopped out of the car and grabbed every bag that he had bought earlier.“Are you sure you are alright in bringing these all by yourself?” asked Chad. “I could just drop you off in front of your place.”Ethan shook his head. “I’m going to be fine.”Chad asked, “I hope that you’ll be alright knowing what you have witnessed this day.”Ethan just nodded. He closed the door and bid goodbye.“Bye, Chad. Hope to see you soon again.”Chad smirked. “Soon, huh?”Ethan rolled his eyes out and started walking towards his place. Chad, on the other hand, has been following him with his car – slowly advancing. Chad rolled down his windows.“I’ll be wearing this

Ethan woke up as he felt the road get bumpy and rough. He roamed his eyes around and saw that they were now in his hometown. It's yet far, but the surroundings have entirely changed, and it was far different from the city."How many hours did I fall asleep?" asked Ethan as he opened a fridge and grabbed a can. He felt different this time, and maybe it was because he's now in an entirely different environment. He hasn't been back here for half a year, and this is the only time he gets to go home."You have been sleeping since we came from the city."He nodded. He was just observing like he hadn't seen all of this when he was young. Everything started to look familiar. Seeing the cows, trees, grass, chickens make him miss his childhood. He also missed his family."Do you think they would understand?" asked Ethan as he looked at the butler through the mirror. They exchanged glances, and then the butler nodded. Ethan left a shrug.It wasn't that long u

Ethan swayed his feet as the swing swayed back and forth. He stayed in the playground where he and Minty have been playing since they were still a kid. What his father said the other night has still lingered in his mind. It wasn't that easy to forget because it was his father that said those words.He also thought so much about what Pierre said. If he tells his parents that he's dating a guy, then would it mean that his father would also go to some extent where he'll destroy Troye's life just like the life of his business competitors? He shook his head at that thought.He noticed that someone occupied the other swing. He looked at that person, and it was the butler. They did not say anything to one another, and they just sat there silently. "I heard about it," said the butler, Giovanni. "I was not eavesdropping; I just happen to be in the corner being a guard.""I don't get why you need to be a

Just as was Ethan was supposed to tell himself, I told me so, the door to his bedroom opened up. It was Minty. He continued to do what he had to do, and that was to put his things away in his bag. He’s going home – rather, he was going to go home to his city.“You’re going back to the city? Right away?” Minty asked as she sat down into the bed as she observed Ethan packing his things.“I know what he’s going to tell me. That shit is disgusting. I don’t need to hear that remark from him,” said Ethan as he zipped the bag. “What he said earlier was still alright, but what happens next? He will definitely bombard me with insults.”“You don’t know that yet.”“Oh, Minty, I know. We have seen that movie. And what he said really hurts, and I cannot bear hearing that directly for me.”Minty sighed. “He’s our father. You are

He leaned his head against the window. They have already gone on their way, and the silence has taken over. Only the sound of the engine and Ethan's sobs can be heard inside the car. There's no limousine—just an ordinary car.He wiped his tears, but he still kept sobbing. What he felt was like choosing himself and throwing his family, and that made him heartbroken. It's the moment where he's hurt the most. He wiped his snot and looked at the butler through the mirror. "Don't you dare look at me with pity."The butler, Yohan, brought his gaze back to the road. He's already driving for hours, and now they're heading into the city."Have you ever loved someone, Yohan?" Ethan asked as he completely dried his face up. "Come on, and you can talk. It's only you and me, and you are my butler.""I am your father's butler."Ethan scoffed. "He sent you with me so you can look after me. To put it that way, you are my butler now. I don't care if you repor

“Don’t tell my dad about this, please.”Yohan just nodded. Ethan is now leaning his head on the counter as he orders another drink. They have already ordered a bucket of beer, and he’s been the only one who’s drinking while Yohan just sat beside him.Ethan wanted to handle things by himself, and as of the issue that he’s been going through right now, he doesn’t want his father to know because he knows that even if he’s been likely disowned by his father, he might do something about Troye and Mellow, and he doesn’t want that.“Whatever I do, don’t tell my father about it, okay? Just report to him when I already have a wife,” Ethan said as he chuckled and grabbed another shot. Yohan’s not stopping him, and he’s in no right to stop a person who has been betrayed and hurt. If this is his way of letting his feelings out, then he’ll let him. He’ll just listen to whatever he

"Please, just tell me everything."There was silence. After hearing what Mellow said, it seemed so hard for him to imagine that he was supporting Troye's father's medication all this time. Everything is connected. Right now, he just wanted to plead and ask for every truth that's been hidden."Speak up!" said Ethan as he crumpled his hair with his hands because of frustration. Yohan was standing on the door, guarding, but he tried not to eavesdrop even though he could hear what they were talking about.Troye sighed and said, "As I have said, Mellow always watches our practice. At that time, I was already accepted as a scholar for the incoming year. We were seeing each other, and I said I could not date her because I have my priorities which is my father. She told me that she would do anything just to date me, even if she had to take care of my father. And so we ended up dating.""You are desperate, huh?" said Ethan as he glared at Mellow. "Continue."

"It's already been one week, and you're still like this."Ethan sighed as he changed his position on the couch and changed the channel on the television. It has been a week since that happened, and he didn't bother contacting anyone ever again, whether it's Chad or Chrystyn. In the morning, he woke up and ate the breakfast that Yohan had prepared. During lunchtime, Ethan eats, and after that, he watches a movie. And that goes on for the whole day. And now, he has finally reached a week with the same routine happening over and over again."Don't mind me," said Ethan as he stopped going through the channels but instead watched another movie.Yohan sighed. "You need to get up. Do something new."Ethan scratched his forehead. "If you don't leave right now, I will kick you out."He still felt Yohan's presence standing near him. He looked up, and he was still there. "You want me to kick you out?""I want you to move. Tomorrow will be the
