6- His longing

As Aaron headed inside the kitchen, Jasper sat down at the dining table, checking the caller's name. He drove his finger to attend the call, but his brother raised a question before chopping the veggies, "Why did you suddenly ask for 10,000 dollars?"

"Uhm..." Jasper trailed off, putting the phone aside and squeezing his brain to make up a lie to his brother. "Ah! My friends and I are having a party, and also I need some money for the project."

Since his phone was in silent mode, Jasper failed to notice the multiple calls from Kade. Furthermore, his fear oscillated in his eyes as he observed Aaron's reaction, whether he was believing it or doubting him.

"Oh... Okay." Aaron nodded, continuing to chop the veggies.

Only then did peacefulness wind over his face.

After finishing the dinner, Aaron made up the bed.

Jasper stepped out of the restroom in a bathrobe when Aaron had almost finished tidying the bed.

"Where are you going?" Aaron asked, glimpsing Jasper heading into the dressing room.

"To get changed," Jasper said.

"Don't need, just come on. Sleeping freely is healthy." Aaron dragged him all the way to the bed.

"But brother..." Jasper's lips shook with hesitation.

Getting on the bed, Aaron offered his hand, saying, "I'm your brother, Jasper. Come on."

Sighing, Jasper got on the bed and lay next to Aaron.

They fall asleep real quickly as if they were tired as hell.

At midnight, Aaron opened his eyes casually. It was the time he glimpsed the flashlight slightly tingling his eyes from Jasper's side table,

He sat up and found it was from Jasper's phone. He extended his arms and picked up the phone.

Glancing at the plenty of missed calls and messages from the name of Kade, he went through his phone. He pulled down his eyebrows, skepticism scattered at that message that said, "Why did you pay the penalty of 10,000 dollars to Shane from your scholarship amount? You should have delayed it. Your friends said you didn't pay the college fees yet. I will send you that money."

"Who is this Shane bullying my brother?" Wrath came spilling out from his mouth. He kept his voice low once after glancing at Jasper, napping quietly under his chest.

The next day, in the morning, at 11 a.m.

Jasper and his friends were coming out of the classroom after finishing the lesson class.

"Did Kade call you?" Cody questioned as they walked along the hallway crowd.

"I told him I don't want that money. Is that all your play?" Jasper glared at him. Cody embarrassingly smiled, scratching his head.

"Will you guys just—"

Jasper paused, glimpsing at the plate number of the car that was parked in the parking area. "What is my brother's car doing here?" He questioned himself in an audible voice, forgetting his friends were with him.

"Brother?" His friends were surprised. "Do you have a brother?" Everyone exclaimed, looking at the campus following Jasper's sight. Instantly, he went near the partition wall with his eyeball, rushingly browsing the surrounding area for Aaron's presence. Expectedly, he got Aaron, who blocked a random student and asked, "Who is Shane here? I want to meet him."

That student showed the directions to SKF SQURD's room.

Jasper slammed his books over Buck's chest before rushing downstairs.

"Ah!" Buck groaned, grasping his books from falling down.

"Oh moh! Our Jasper is the only cutie face boy in our college. Just imagine how cute his brother will be." Cody triggered everyone's curiosity, describing it like a fantasy. "Let's go and see him!" He stirred his feet to run, and only then did he find his other friends had already been running, following Jasper.

"Did I just talk alone?" Cody felt offended and ran from there instantly before passersby gave a disgusted look at him.

"I want to see Shane," Aaron calmly informed the two muscled bodyguards who were guarding SKF SQUAD'S room in front of the door.

"Do you have a card?" One of the bodyguards stepped forward towards him.

"No!"

"Then leave!" The bodyguard voiced rudely.

"Sorry," Aaron apologized, stepping towards the door.

Both bodyguards pressed their hands against his chest, warning, "Please, behave! No one allowed here exec-"

Aaron's solid grip on their wrist stopped them from speaking rudely. In the blink of an eye, Aaron knocked them down just by offering a powerful kick to their heavily built muscle stomach.

Aaron kicked open the door, earning everyone's wrinkled eyebrows.

"Who are you?" Fork informally asked since Aaron's young-looking face and perfectly shaped body figure blocked eyes from predicting his real age beyond this young look.

"Who is Shane here?" Asked Aaron.

Fork stretched his index finger, pointing to Shane, who was sitting relaxed on the sofa while crossing his left leg.

Aaron's glance switched to him straightly. He didn't even notice Kade.

Aaron came and stood facing Shane. "Are you the Shane who bullied my brother?"

"Who is your brother?" Shane questioned casually, keeping his eyes on the phone display.

"Jasper."

Everyone's shocked glance gathered towards Aaron.

Kaisen came in, querying without noticing an extra person's presence, "Our bodyguards were on the ground. Who beat them like that?"

"I'm!" Shane raised his hand and turned to him.

Kaisen was stunned with his beauty, forgetting what he was saying earlier.

Aaron turned his attention back to Shane right away while Shane and his other friends were judging Kaisen's frozen gaze towards Aaron, which was clearly explaining falling in love at first sight.

"Return the money to my brother already!" Aaron strictly warned.

Shane gave a scornful smirk.

Fork sneaked near Kade quietly as Shane and Aaron flashed a raging glare at each other, competitively arguing about returning the money to Jasper. "Is Kaisen falling for Jasper's brother?" He asked.

"It seems like that," Kade nodded.

"Brother!" Jasper barged in and dragged Aaron forcefully away from arguing with Shane.

Jasper's friends were stopped right next to the door and were stunned by Aaron's sexy-dripping charm as Shane yelled at Shane crazily for his dearest brother while Shane's longing gaze was on Jasper, who was groaning to drag Aaron out of the room.

On the other side, Fork and Kade were picturing Kaisen, whose attention was on Aaron being deaf to the surrounding noise.

"Buck! Cody! Kai!" Jasper shouted at his friends, who were lost in Aaron's beauty, forgetting to breathe.

That awakened them immediately.

"Come and help me, guys!" Jasper shouted, pulling Aaron.

His friends hurried to him as Aaron yelled at Shane loudly, "I will smash your face if you ever again bully my brother. Return my brother's money first! How dare you treat my dear brother like shit! You!... Stop looking at my brother like that!"

Aaron stripped from Jasper's grip and quickly headed to Shane, raising his hand as if he was going to slap his eyes, which was sighting Jasper non-stop.

"Brother!!" Jasper screamed.

"No!" Fork rushed to stop him.

The tranquility in the room was demolished with that loud noise.

Before Aaron's hand hit Shane, Jasper's friend blocked him and dragged him together out of the room.

Jasper ran behind them, covering Aaron's mouth, which was nonstoply yelling at Shane.

Once they left, the SKF SQUAD's room regained the tranquility of its own.

Finally, Fork exhaled relaxingly. He then glimpsed Kaisen was still in that frozen state, so he approached him and slapped him hardly.

Kaisen blinked like a stupid person. "What happened?"

"He left already!" Fork said.

Kaisen lowered his gaze, embarrassed.

"He almost hit Shane," Kade declared, looking at Shane, who was still flashing the yearning towards that door.

Kaisen hurried to Shane. "Are you okay?" He dripped the concern.
