After the day’s outing, Ryder and Arden drove toward the hospital to pay a visit to Asher, who they had heard over the phone from Ryan was finally awake.

The call had come unexpectedly while they were still on the road. Ryan’s voice had sounded tired, but his tone carried a relief that made Arden’s heart lift. Asher was finally awake after everything. The news brought lightness into the air, especially for Arden, who couldn’t stop smiling afterward.

He sat in the passenger seat beside Ryder, humming softly while gazing out the car window.

“I still can’t believe he’s awake,” Arden said, his voice carrying quiet joy.

Ryder didn’t respond immediately. His hands remained on the steering wheel, his gaze steady on the road ahead.

“You’re quiet,” Arden said, turning slightly to look at him. “Aren’t you happy he’s awake?”

Ryder’s tone was even, controlled. “I am.”

Just two words, cold and flat — but Arden had learned to read him by now. Ryder was not someone who easily showed his emoti

    After the day’s outing, Ryder and Arden drove toward the hospital to pay a visit to Asher, who they had heard over the phone from Ryan was finally awake.

    “What did you say?” Jewel’s voice cracked through the room . Her face flushed with anger as her eyes blazing and then she took a threatening step forward. Arden didn’t even flinch. He scoffed and rolled his eyes. “I don’t repeat myself twice,” he said calmly, his tone laced with quiet defiance. “You little bitch!” Jewel shrieked as she raised her hand to slap him, but the door opened sharply as Ryder walked in. The moment he stepped inside, the air in the room changed. His eyes swept across the room, immediately catching the tension that hung in the air like smoke. “What’s going on here?” he asked, his voice calm but hard enough to silence everyone. His eyes moved to Arden, who quickly looked away. Jewel’s hand dropped to her side. A nervous laugh escaped her lips as she smoothed her hair and tried to compose herself. She plastered on a smile and walked toward Ryder as if nothing had happened. “Ryder, you’re back!” she said sweetly, trying to embrace him. But Ryder stepp

    “Why isn’t my husband awake? Huh? You said the surgery was successful — are you even sure about that? Because if it is, my husband would be awake!” Ryan half-yelled, his voice trembling with anger and exhaustion. He’d been holding it in for too long. The fear, the sleepless nights, the helpless waiting — it all came out in that one outburst. The doctor gulped nervously, adjusting his glasses. “Calm down, Mr. Ryan,” he said carefully. “The surgery was successful. If it wasn’t, Mr. Asher wouldn’t be breathing.” Ryan froze, his eyes narrowing. That glare made the doctor’s words stumble in his throat. He cleared his throat and tried again, choosing his words wisely. “Waking up solely depends on the patient. His body is recovering, but his consciousness... it takes time. You can help by talking to him. Sometimes hearing a loved one’s voice helps patients find their way back.” Ryan stared at him for a moment, then sighed heavily and leaned back in the chair. He raked his fingers t

    “You initiated the kiss?!” Kyle practically shouted, his eyes bulging out. Arden’s eyes widened as he quickly reached out and covered Kyle’s mouth with his hand. “Keep your voice down!” he hissed, glancing around nervously. Several students had already turned their heads to look at them. The hallway was filled with chatter, but Kyle’s voice had somehow managed to rise above the noise. A few curious faces lingered for a moment before moving on. “Why did you yell like that?” Arden frowned, his brows furrowed in frustration. Kyle blinked a few times and finally clamped his mouth shut. He leaned forward across the cafeteria table, lowering his voice to a whisper. “Are you for real right now? You kissed him? Or you just— I don’t know—imagined it in your sleep or something?” Arden frowned deeper. “Why would I make this up anyway?” he asked, glaring at Kyle, who seemed way too entertained by this. Kyle leaned back, crossing his arms as he studied Arden’s face. “Okay, fair point. Yo

    Arden stirred a little as a faint beam of sunlight crept through the curtains, brushing across his face. His eyelids fluttered open, heavy and dry. He squinted against the light, blinking slowly, trying to gather his thoughts. The first thing he saw made his heart stop. Right before him, inches away, sleeping peacefully… was Ryder. For a second, Arden froze. His eyes widened as confusion settled in. Wait… what? His mind raced. Am I dreaming? Did I—did we—? He blinked again, rapidly this time, hoping that Ryder’s face would vanish and he’d wake up properly in his own bed. But it didn’t. Ryder was right there. Real. Breathing. And dangerously close. Arden’s breath hitched when he realized something else—Ryder wasn’t just beside him. He was holding him. Ryder’s arm was draped firmly around Arden’s waist, his body pressed lightly against his back. Their legs were tangled under the blanket, and Arden could feel the steady rhythm of Ryder’s heartbeat against his shoulder. For a br

    Ryder Black walked back into the hall, cutting through the crowd with quiet confidence. His meeting had lasted longer than expected, and as he adjusted his cuffs, he scanned the crowd, expecting to find Arden sitting quietly where he had left him. But the sight that met his eyes stopped him cold. There, right at the center of the room, on top of a polished glass table,was Arden. The boy was dancing. Not just swaying politely, but actually dancing—arms flailing, laughter spilling out of him, his cheeks flushed pink, and a glass of whiskey glinting dangerously in his hand. Four young men surrounded him, hyping him up, moving to the beat with grins that were far too suggestive for Ryder’s liking. For a moment, Ryder thought he was imagining things. “What the hell…” Ryder muttered, his jaw tightening. When one of the men suddenly placed a hand around Arden’s waist, Ryder’s patience snapped. His long strides ate up the distance between them, and before the man could even blink,
