His Mysterious Affection Chapter 9: Valid Feelings and Familiar Things
I was stunned when I heard the caller's voice and said something that sounded very familiar to me. After days of hiding from me, he finally had the guts to call me."H-hello?" I cleared my throat first, as I was stuttering when I realized that he was waiting for my response."I missed you—I really do." He said it softly, nearly a whisper. "Really?" I sarcastically asked. He missed me, huh? He left without goodbyes, no words, and just left after that night. "I'm sorry. I have important things to do." He apologetically explained."Okay. You don't need to explain it, though. I'm not your mother." He sighed and just let the silence devour our conversation. It lasted for a few minutes, and I wanted to end the call. But, he confessed something to me."Babe, you know that I like you, right?"I didn't answer and let him continue saying what he was saying."I'm sorry for not telling you that I have things to do. It was rushed and I didn't have time for that.""Taddeio. I said that, it's actu
His Mysterious Affection Chapter 10: Marking What's Mine
I woke up in a strange room. There's nothing here, just a bed where I'm currently sitting. I can nebulously remember that I fainted in school and... nothing more. I'm being cautious when the door suddenly opens without a person outside the room. Was someone pranking me? What a good joke. I stood up and checked if there was truly no one there. I walked very slowly as my head still hurts and my vision is slightly blurry. I'm now here at the entrance and ready to peek outside when—"Boo!" "Ah!" I shouted out of shock.I faced the guy and I saw Lethius. He's laughing his heart out now and is seemingly unable to stop. He matched it up with his hand on his stomach and his loud voice. "Funny," I said, while rolling my eyes. "W-wait—" He said this while still unable to hold his laughter. I immediately closed the door, which caught him off-guard. I leaned against the door and held its handle when I felt a throbbing pain inside of my head. I closed my eyes tightly in the hope that it would le
His Mysterious Affection Chapter 11: Drowning
Our conversation ended with that, as Taddeio did not get what I was conveying. I had no idea how to open a new one because he was still busy thinking about what I meant earlier. I thought that he would successfully transport it in his mind, but it's only a guess. I mean, it was an indirect way of saying that we're officially together now. I don't know if I expressed it completely, but I think that I made it understandable and easy to process. He was too serious, and it was awkward too. I looked at him and just decided to enjoy the view. He has a perfect jawline and a pointed nose, two things that every human being in this world is dying for. Well, who isn't? I shouldn't say that in the first place. Look at our situation now. We're in the same room, but I can't feel the presence of Taddeo, either him or me. I sighed loudly to get his attention and to advise him that there was someone in this room too. But, he didn't even throw a glance or say anything. Was he still stuck there? What a n
His Mysterious Affection Chapter 12: Entering the Tiger's Den
I am here, inside my apartment—having peace of mind together with Taddeio. I can only recall what Taddeio said when I was on the verge of jumping. I don't know how it affected me, but the only thing that I realized was that it gave me a reason to stop what I was about to do. Taddeio, you are truly my savior and I cannot afford to lose you. I'll do everything that I'm capable and eligible of doing just to make sure that you stay by my side, no matter what. This is my oath, not a promise. A hand touched my heart when I felt a kiss on the back of my head. I want to control the time and halt this moment, just purely affection between us two. Surely, this was not the only time that he was like this, but this is the instance that I appreciated him being on my side. I don't know what to do now, Taddeio. My thoughts... I can't control them; they are so messed up inside my mind. I have no idea what to prioritize first: revealing the secrets of this building; my studies; or my feelings and the t
His Mysterious Affection Chapter 13: The Unending Rage of Bullets
Night had passed and there were no signs of Taddeio. I went to school without having much sleep as I was concerned about his whereabouts. Several hours had flown by and still, he did not contact me. I know that I should not be worried, but I can't stop myself from feeling this way. Sighs. This is why I'm anxious about having someone that I'm comfortable with, because I know that in the future, this will happen. And I'm not wrong about that. It happened. I have doubts not only about Taddeio, but also about myself. You only knew him for less than a month, Merchaiass, and you put your trust in him. This is not you. Perhaps my soul has been switched. Huh. Now you know how to joke this time. I am now sitting under the tree at the back of my department building. I have classes today, but I'm not looking forward to them. I am fed up with everything that has happened in my life now. Do I deserve to undergo this kind of suffering? Is this my punishment all along? To be forgotten and easily dece
His Mysterious Affection Chapter 14: It's Time
After I left the house, I was silently wandering in the streets and yearning for Taddeio to show up—saying that he was fine and there was no need to make a fuss about it. I look like a person who has lost a family member as my shoulders are sagging and my head is not facing forward and I just let it linger below. I have no idea what to do to stop thinking that he's not well and he's stuck somewhere completely off the radar. I can feel the waft of the wind that appears to have hands and arms—embracing my whole body and warming it. I looked at the front and someone caught my attention. The guy was wearing all-black clothing and paired it with a black cap. He looks like a typical snatcher or kidnapper. He couldn't stay at his place and wandered around the side of the street. Does this guy have a bigger problem than mine? My heart began to race when he started walking in my direction. I didn't want to assume that he was looking at me, but he stared as if he knew everything about my life. I
His Mysterious Affection Chapter 15: Safe In His Arms Again (PART 1)
I was brought to consciousness when I felt a decisive splash of water thrown right in my face. I could feel my body responding to it and I was still catching my breath. One by one, all of my senses got back, but I can barely see things and my hearing isn't good either—probably because the water got in. Because of the combined force of these intense events, I can feel my lips quiver. No, my entire body. I slowly tilted my head to see who did it. I cannot see his face as he's hiding behind a mask, but I can see his lips turning into a grin when he sees how mad I am. I can tell by its physique that it is a man. He moved his feet and started walking towards me. When he's satisfied with the distance between us, he stops and pulls my hair back, which leaves me to look up. Even though it hurts, I can't feel it anymore. My body went into the highest stage of numbness earlier, and I did not know what to do to feel the pain. He pulled it back harder to the extent that I could hear the cracks in
His Mysterious Affection Chapter 15: Safe In His Arms Again (PART 2)
"It's because of you! Your existence!" He shouted while he pointed his finger at me. I can tell by his actions that he hated my presence, but I don't know why. I don't know him nor have I had any interaction with him aside from the bus earlier. I'm not sure if it is him, but he's the one that brought me here to this stinky, dark place. I hate this. "Why? You didn't even know me, nor did I know you. We are strangers and I can't remember that I happened to meet you before. And how did you know my name? What is the basis of your anger and rage towards me? Huh?" I was catching my breath when I blurted it out. "You're naive, Merchaiass. A fool and a weakling. You're just a lost rat in a tiger's den. Poor thing." He was swinging the katana when he said this. "And to answer your question, I know you but you don't know me. For the record, I'm just a spec that has been ordered to end your not-oh-so-precious life. Any last words, Merchaiass?" I can't find myself being surprised by the bom
