In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot, and Sky was shot multiple times.The memories didn't even give him time to breathe, treat his wounds, and process everything when a new scene flashed in front of him.There was an open sky, few buildings can be seen from where he was standing, few plants & a big tree in the middle. There was no one around except for the two-person sitting face-to-face in the cemented chair.The woman wearing lavish clothes was crying and the other woman looking at the ground while talking to her companion. Sky recognized the other woman, his mother. His eyes move to the woman in red and... it's Kole's mother.What were they doing here? What are they talking about that made Kole's mother cry? He moves closer to them to hear clearly but upon getting closer he heard someone sniffing behind the tree.He turned to look who it was and was shocked... it was him. He had been listening to them talk

Sky lovingly listened to Kole's heartbeat and was startled when he heard the other talking in his sleep, "No... stop. Stop it! Kai stop it!"Kole's body trembled, his forehead starting to soak in sweat, his hands grip on Sky's shoulder tightly, murmuring over and over a name, Kai. His heart pained hearing the name of his deceased husband, Kole woke up still gripping tightly on Sky."Are you okay?" Sky who was startled quickly sits and holds Kole's hand, his voice panicking. Hearing Sky's voice, he calmed down a bit.Soaked in sweat, Kole instinctively pulled Sky into an embrace, his vision blurry after waking from that bad dream. He's been panting, his chest moving up and down, and holding tightly the thin man in his arms."Kole..." Sky said softly."I'm fine... I'm fine," said Kole. He's not fine, the rim of his eyes reddened as he thinks back on his dream. That was a scene from a long time ago, so long but still vivid in his memory."What did you dream about Kai?" Sky asks still in

[TW: mention of human trafficking, child abuse, sex slaves]It was the truth. Kole fought hard for Sky, he did everything for Kai to stop whatever evil plan he wanted to do but he can't physically hurt his brother not even emotionally.Sky sits in the corner of the bed a few meters away from Kole. He was quiet, even his breathing was controlled, not even a movement or eyes blinking. He only listened to Kole. He wanted to be slapped with truth at once, even if it hurts."I didn't know that he was alive at first not until the burial. He was there." Kole continued.During Kai's funeral, Kole was there hiding in the big tree when a man in all black approached him and tap his back, when he turned to see the person, his soul almost left him... Kai was alive and well.Kai pressed his shoulder, looking straight at the scene in front of them, his face grinning as a crazy person would do, "Brother, let's all suffer together. Let's be tormented together, will my brother live with me?" His crazy

With everything that happened, Kole sincerely understands how Sky felt. He sincerely does but his heart refuses to understand, refuses to accept that after many years they still can't be with each other, refuses to accept that after all the suffering they will still end up... suffering away from each other.Was it selfish to dream of Sky by his side now? Was it wrong of him to fight for Sky? Even if it was, he will still do it, he will dream, he will fight and he will be by his side no matter what."SKY HARREN! I know your hurt, that word would even be an understatement of what you feel right now. I know that you hate everything including me but remember this, I will not leave you and you cannot force me to do so. I don't have the right to say it's fine, everything will be okay cause it will not but I will face it with you, that painful past, the troubled present, and the uncertain future, I will face it with you and you cannot tell me otherwise."When he came last night, he was deter

Winning Sky was like coaxing a feral cat, you'll get scratched, you'll be bitten, and worst the feral cat will treat you like a stranger... literally a stranger."Hey! Kole..." Sky called him in a rising tone.Kole who was busy tidying the living room turned his head upon hearing Sky's voice then without any warning a lip landed on his cheek. "I'll cook, how does fried rice with steamed dumplings sounds?" With a good and cheerful aura, Sky smiled brightly at Kole.Ah, cook? How can he stop this man from getting into the kitchen without hurting his ego? The last time he burned the egg, then a fish, then a chicken. Poor souls of the food may they rest in peace. They had a tough second death.There was also a time when Sky was heating water in a stove, that cat forgot about it, and... the poor water evaporates leaving the kettle alone all back under its butt."No need... I'll cook for you" Kole replied brimming with a smile but internally he was praying that Sky would agree, they can't b
