'RYAN CRUZ'Listening to this name again, Alden's mouth twitched as This name... It was really lingering.Alden lowered his eyes and said without thinking twice, "No."Eun Woo did not pay attention to him as they continued to eat and After finishing eating, Eun Woo was still there, helping Alden in washing the dishes.Alden could not hold back, and wanted to learn more about this concert.He and Ryan Cruz had an enmity and actually hadn't dealt with each other for a long time.And why not? the two were not pleasing to each other, but they would subconsciously pay attention to each other's whereabouts.'keep friends close But the closest to the enemies' - Alden followed this mantra.And in all these years, it had became a habit now.Alden used to hear 'Ryan Cruz' name and news related to him from other people's mouths.Alden pursed his lips as he asked in a slightly coldest tone, "When was the musical concert...?"Eun Woo glanced at him and answered, "Tomorrow night."And then he als
ALDEN : "What do you want from me?"DENNIS : "Eventually, I want to wake up to you every morning and fall asleep to you every night."... Alden was uncontrollable as he was about to fall back but before he could even express his exclamation or fall down on the wet road, Alden had fallen securely into a warm and broad embrace.His whole body fell back uncontrollably, and his heart was about to jump out, when Alden closed his eyes tightly as he was waiting for the moment of landing.But at the next moment, He was fine. Nothing happened. No pain came to him.Seeing his panic reaction, Dennis quietly glanced at Alden's feet, and then at his face and reminded him in his soft voice, "It's raining so be careful of slippery roads."The INTENSITY Of his love was so high that he looked away from Alden's mesmerizing but panicked face.As Dennis finished speaking but Alden stood stilled in his embraces. And a moment later when he got his senses back, Alden was a little stunned.It took Alden f
In one glance, Dennis observed the house. The house building was built in the 70s-80s that turned unsightly now. Even if the wall and the door had been repaired, it still left the traces of different shadow of time. The furniture in the room also had a sense of age from the great-grandfather era.They stared at each other for a few seconds. Alden took the bags from his hands and put them on the table. Dennis entered and before they could speak, a loud thudding voice of paws echoed and a loud barking dog named PEACH came and jumped at Dennis. Alden was stumped.While Alden was still looking at Peach calmly, Peach was already barking excitedly and throwing himself into Dennis's arms as if he was saying 'DAD ! YOU ARE BACK'. 'DAD! YOU ARE HERE'. 'I MISSED YOU SO MUCH'.A smile appeared in Dennis's eyes, and he patted Peach's head that made Peach to be more excited as he barked enthusiastically.The dilapidated old house became warm now.Peach hadn't seen Kang Dennis for three to four ye
The name was very familiar to him. The name which ruined his mood and stole his happiness and left him in agony. "RYAN CRUZ"Alden stood still for a few seconds and then he looked at Dennis who was sleeping unaware of the situation. Alden's heart turned sour and mind was bitter as he remembered what happened to him and to his mother. How Mr. Cruz cheated on his mother and then married Ryan's mother'. And at this moment, the evilness and coldness freeze his heart and mind as he directly stepped forward to wake up the sleeping Kang Dennis. "Hey! Wake up. Wake up and leave my house right now", Alden pushed Dennis's shoulders and yelled impatiently. Kang Dennis moved in a sleepy state. He didn't open his eyes, as if he was still asleep. "Mr. Kang Dennis , Wake up. You have a call. Go outside and attend the call", Alden shouted again as he was unable to control his emotions right now. His heart was pounding frustratedly. Dennis did not wake up completely as he stretched out his lo
"You don't know but whenever you are angry you start talking too much", Dennis said as he wiped Alden's injured red and swollen lips with his thumbs while licking his own wet lips. Alden did not lift up his head causing Dennis to chuckle while opening the door. And It just so happened that when Kang Dennis was about to leave, Eun Woo just came down from upstairs to look for Alden.Seeing a strange man standing at the main door of Alden's house, alerted him but when he saw Dennis's face, his eyes widened in surprise. Both Dennis and Eun Woo glanced at each other for a few seconds and then looked at Alden whose eyes were still cast down. Dennis left and Eun Woo entered the house while pointed at Dennis with trembling fingers. Eun Woo was so surprised because he actually saw KANG DENNIS at ALDEN Richard's rented house. The PRESIDENT - Mr. KANG DENNIS, the owner of the e-sports club, the ceo of the E-gaming live broadcast platform, the entertainment industry. However, Eun Woo fro
At the KANG EMPIRE, A young lady in official attire was arranging files while reporting some updates to President Kang Dennis. "You gave me a task and it's already done. Do you want me to show you the official papers?", Isabelle Rivera - the trusted person of Dennis said.Meanwhile, Dennis whose eyes were staring at a plain silver bracelet that holds so many memories in it. "Boss Kang", Isabelle called him loudly and he glanced at her. "What ?", Dennis asked her.Isabelle sighed weakly but smile from her face did not wavered as she repeated herself, "I am asking you if you want to check the report of the tasks you gave me a month ago".A deep frown formed on his forehead as he thought deeply while looking at the silver bracelet. His action was quite elegant that easily caught the attention of Isabelle and she could not stop herself from asking, "Boss Kang, Is this silver bracelet precious to you?". Dennis glanced at Isabelle and nodded his head, "Yes, Because this bracelet belong
"Every Weekend, Our club organizes a male stripper show for the women. And today is Friday and the show has to run tonight but our stripper is sick. He cannot join the show. So can you become our tonight's special STRIPPER?", The lady boss asked Alden who froze on his seat. "It all depends on you. If tonight's show will become a huge hit then all Friday's shows will be yours", The lady boss said and Alden's heart stopped pumping as his throat constricted. Alden Richards - The young Master of the RICHARDS got an offer to become a STRIPPER? Alden's jaws twitched as he fisted his hand and knuckles turned white. Alden was a Simply graduated with not so high scores as he lost his passion and everything that he held dear to him right after the break-up with Dennis. Five years ? It was not easy for him to forget Dennis and move on and now, he was paying the price of his stubbornness and stupidity. Without a degree, he wouldn't get jobs in the private sectors. He had to do odd jobs. Al
The sky was dark, and the last trace of blush in the sky dissipated. The club was crowded as the Strobe lights and colored lights were brightening the mood of the youth. The speakers and a stage were ready to welcome the star of the night. The bars with bar stools and small round tables with stools were attended by the waitresses dressed skimpily with glowing trays of drinks or empty bottles/glasses as the shots lined up at the bar and the bartenders were showing their talents as the bottles of booze lined up. The establishment for evening entertainment or a perfect nightspot was well decorated as they served the liquors, food and offering patrons music, the comedy acts, a floor show and the special Friday night strip show. In an exclusive hall of the club where the gang of second generation rich heiress and business women were sitting together as their hands were holding a glass of expensive wine. The clock reached at sharp 8 and the lights dimmed as their eyes focused on the s
