The dinner ended after a few minutes but people were still seated at the table.

“Noah, a word.” Mr. Singh called out, “My study”.

Noah nodded, standing up from the chair, Kai watched them both as they walked out of the dining area.

Mr. Singh’s study was quieter than the rest of the house.

Too quiet.

The dinner noise still floated faintly from downstairs: laughter, glasses, voices. But in here, it

was just the ticking clock and the sound of ice shifting in a glass.

Noah stood near the de

    Kai was already half gone when Noah shook his shoulder slightly, enough to wake him up.“Kai,” Noah called, but got no response.Noah saw Kai passed out and almost smirked. A quiet, satisfied kind of pride he would never admit to.“We didn't even do much, why are you so tired”, Noah murmured almost to himself. “Why is he so hot…has he caught a fever?”Then suddenly the smirk wiped off his face…almost like he remembered something.“Kai. Wake up.” Noah called again, shaking him harder this time.Kai shifted slightly, face still pressed into the seat.“…five minutes.”Noah: “Now.”Kai groaned under his breath. “God…let me sleep, you caused this anyway.” “Get up,” Noah said, his voice cold and controlled, a total difference from what it was a few minutes ago.Kai noticed this; he opened one eye slowly, staring at Noah, trying to read him, but his face had gone back to its usual unreadable expression.“Not again”, Kai thought, then let out a soft sigh, already pushing himself off the bed.

    Noah stared at the message for a second.Kai: Are you alive or did your father finally eat you?A short breath left his nose. Not quite a laugh.He typed nothing back.Deleted the empty line.Locked the phone.Unlocked it again.Then typed.Noah: Come upstairs.He sent it before thinking too much about it.Bad idea.He knew that immediately.Still, he stayed where he was in the hallway, jaw tight, waiting.The house downstairs was still noisy. Chairs moving. Laughter. Someone calling for more drinks.Then footsteps.Unhurried.Kai turned the corner with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a dessert spoon he had clearly stolen from somewhere.“You text like a kidnapper,” Kai said. “Very dramatic. Come upstairs.”Noah looked at the spoon. “Why do you have that?”Kai glanced at it. “Chocolate mousse.”“You brought a spoon upstairs.”“I brought dessert upstairs. The spoon came with it.”Noah held the stare for a second, then turned and started walking.Kai followed beside him.“S

    The dinner ended after a few minutes but people were still seated at the table. “Noah, a word.” Mr. Singh called out, “My study”. Noah nodded, standing up from the chair, Kai watched them both as they walked out of the dining area. Mr. Singh’s study was quieter than the rest of the house. Too quiet. The dinner noise still floated faintly from downstairs: laughter, glasses, voices. But in here, it was just the ticking clock and the sound of ice shifting in a glass. Noah stood near the desk, jacket off now, sleeves rolled once. Mr. Singh was by the bar cabinet, pouring himself another drink he did not need. Ice clicked against glass. Noah looked at the clock on the wall. “If this is about the investors from Singapore, I already sent the numbers.” Mr. Singh took a sip first. “I saw the numbers.” “Then?” “You moved the meeting.” “It needed to be moved.” “You moved it without asking me.” Noah gave a short breath through his nose. “I’m not twelve.” Mr. Singh set the glass d

    “…So that’s him,” she murmured under her breath, raising her glass to her lips.“Alright,” he muttered to himself. “Time to stop playing around.” Kai made his way back to the main hall.The house was louder the moment Kai stepped back into the main hall.More people had gathered. Conversations layered over each other, glasses clinking softly, greetings being exchanged in all directions.Kai adjusted his jacket slightly as he stepped in.His eyes moved across the room before landing on Noah.Noah was still in the middle of conversations, standing with a small group of older men.Polite. Controlled. Listening more than speaking.Kai watched for a second. Then he walked over.Noah noticed him approaching but didn’t break his conversation.Kai stopped just behind him and leaned slightly to the side.“You’re really good at this,” Kai said casually.Noah didn’t look at him yet. “At what?”“You know what.”One of the men Noah was speaking to laughed lightly.Noah finally glanced at Kai.“Wa

    The house felt… different after Noah left, it always does.Kai was still in the kitchen, fridge open, staring at nothing in particular while holding a bottle of water he hadn’t opened.His mind was still stuck somewhere between Noah’s hand in his hair and that look on his face when Kai slipped.“…shit,” he muttered under his breath.His lips pressed together, and the silence stretched.His phone buzzed suddenly cutting through the silence. Kai ignored it.His phone buzzed again.This time louder.“Annoying”. Kai mumbled.Kai shut the fridge with his hip, finally grabbing it off the counter.Noah.Kai stared at the name for a second longer than necessary before unlocking it.Noah: Dinner tonight. 7PM. Be ready.Kai frowned immediately.“What?”Another message came in before he could reply.Noah: Formal.Kai let out a dry laugh.“…you’re joking.”Noah: Don’t embarrass me.Kai barked out a short laugh and typed.“Don’t bring me then”.But he didn't send it, he deleted it instead.“Yeah…

    “Trust me… I don't want you to be”.Something flashed in Noah's eyes at Kai's words.His eyes stayed on Kai's.Kai's breath remained ragged.Caught somewhere between his chest and his throat, like his body hadn’t decided what to do with it yet.Noah’s hand was still in his hair.Not pulling anymore.Just… there.Firm.…Possessive.Kai swallowed, eyes still locked on his.“Let go,” he said.Noah didn't budge; it was almost as if he hadn't heard a word Kai said.“Let go”, Kai said again, quieter this time.This time, Noah let go.Slowly.His fingers slid out of Kai’s hair, but his gaze didn’t leave his face.Kai stumbled back half a step, hand flying straight to his hair, fixing it quickly.“…You're actually insane”. Kai said, running towards the kitchen as if he were being chased.Noah followed after picking up his keys.“Seriously? You're leaving?”“Yes”.“God… you're exhausting” Kai said, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.“Restrain yourself” Noah said and was about to head
