Kyrian's pov

The flight back from Tokyo felt like crossing back into enemy territory.

Connie had slept most of the way, her head against the window, while I stared at nothing, my mind replaying the nights we’d spent tangled together in that hotel room.

For one week, it had been simple and real.

Now we were back, and the weight of Crestfield—the show, the cameras, the expectations—was already pressing down again.

Tonight was my first game back.

Crestfield versus Riverton.

Home ice.

  • Off Camera    THE BIG BOMB

    Connie’s POV “Should I kiss you?” I asked spontaneously. He had shock registered on his face. He looked at me, looked away, and then looked at me again. I thought he would rub his eyes to confirm he wasn’t seeing things. “What… What are you saying?” he asked nervously. “Err…” I was lost for words. “I just… I think I just wanted to make you laugh so you can forgive me.” “Laugh?” he asked out of confusion. “If you wanted to make me laugh, you should have told a joke.”“That was a joke,” I replied, smiling awkwardly. “Don’t you think it was funny?” “I didn’t think it was,” he replied flatly. He started to walk again, leaving me behind. I caught up to him and could tell he was angry. However, this was out of my hands. It wasn’t as if I could bring myself to tell him I really meant it. “Did I get you angry again?” I asked as we walked. “I was only trying to make you feel better.” He didn’t respond. “I guess I am useless,” I muttered. Finally, Kyrian stopped walking. He turned to me

  • Off Camera    KISS AND MAKE UP

    Kyrian’s POV “Yes, I thought it would be a great prank,” Connie told me with a smile. Anger surged within me but I wasn’t in a position where I could speak and act as I wished.I stopped looking at her and started to make the pancakes from scratch while making sure I didn’t involve her in the process. When she tried to lift something, I snatched it from her quickly. She took a step back and watched as I cooked. I made breakfast and it got a six out of ten from the chef, it was a pass mark. I didn’t talk to Connie after that because I was pissed off at her. Adding salt instead of sugar was upsetting and what’s even more annoying was that she did it on purpose. I might have understood if it was a mistake. “Hey,” I heard. I looked up and saw Sarah smiling at me. I looked away instantly but she was sitting next to me the next minute. She sneezed in a bid to get my attention and when I turned her way, she smiled and started to talk, “You and Connie seemed to have a small situation earli

  • Off Camera    A POUND OF FLESH

    Connie’s POV “You just made me fall and you find it funny enough to laugh about it, don’t you?” I asked angrily. “I didn’t push you. You are the one who kept on pulling. It’s unfair to blame me like that,” Kyrian started to stare at the ceiling.I gritted my teeth once again. I could see he was fighting hard not to laugh. I had hit my buttocks on the hard floor but he thought it was funny… I would definitely get back at him. I got on the bed again but this time, I kept the blanket only for myself. He rose to get another blanket and this annoyed me for a reason I didn’t know. Therefore, I took up more space on the bed. The goal was to get him pissed off as well. To my horror, he didn’t complain. He laid on the little space I had given him and while this should have made me feel guilty, it only made me feel like I wasn’t trying hard enough to get back at him. While I thought of what to do, I started to hear his snoring. I guess my revenge would have to happen in the morning. By the

  • Off Camera    INNER CHILD

    Connie’s POVI had all eyes on me at this point. While everyone looked puzzled, Kyrian was gazing at me like he usually did. Maybe he had realized I was the kind of girl to pull up surprises like that. “That was a daring answer, Connie. However, you are yet to tell us the reason behind your answer,” Pat said calmly. I nodded before I started speaking, “The reason is simple. In fact, I believe that option will be what many people would take. But rather than blackmail, I would use lighter words.” “Lighter words like what?” Pat interrupted. “Striking a deal,” I replied. “In return for my silence over the matter, he compensates me properly.” Murmuring erupted immediately. It was as if everyone had something to say at the same damn time. A quick clearing of the throat by Pat brought order to the room. If Vress was watching me right now, he would probably be pleased. I, of all people, knew how much he loved controversies for the high views it gave the show. “Don’t you think you will b

  • Off Camera    FOR THE LOVE OF CONTROVERSY

    Connie’s POV I had meant to play hard to get but as it was no longer possible, I accepted Kyrian’s offer to walk home. We didn’t talk much on the way and that was mainly because he was busy on his phone. I considered that really disrespectful but I didn’t confront him about it.Anyway, we were notified that we would all be having dinner together with Pat. The latest development didn’t faze me a bit, I had no reason to care. When it was time for dinner, all of us gathered at the dining hall. We were expecting Pat but she didn’t arrive until most of us were halfway into our meals. “Ladies, Gentlemen,” she called. If she was looking for attention, she had gotten it by now. “To make things more fun, we have added a new program every night. Conversation at dinner, I will be taking charge of it as you must have expected. It will start tonight.” “It's short notice,” Roderigo muttered. “Some of us already have plans for tonight.” “We won’t take your time,” Pat replied. “It’s only for thir

  • Off Camera    BETWEEN LOVERS AND BESTIES

    Connie’s POV “You are coming to watch the boys practice, aren’t you?” Hori asked. She was already preparing to be a fangirl this afternoon. Someone had better tell her that it was only a practice, not a game.I didn’t reply.“Your boyfriend is the star of the team, you should be there to support him,” Hori pressed. “Except there is something wrong with you that you are not telling me.” I sighed. That was the thing with Hori. She couldn’t handle her own curiosity, she would push and pull until she got the answer she wanted. If I didn’t want another pressing session, I had better agree with her. “I will come with you to practice,” I replied flatly.“Good,” she smiled. “Both of us make a good pair, let’s inspire the boys to a win today.” I clapped, agreeing with her. It would be best to not tell her that this wasn’t an actual match. She could think whatever she wanted in her mind. I wasn’t interested anyway, I might as well keep my words to myself. There weren’t a lot of people who

    "Were you not taught how to knock?" He turned to face me, his hands reaching out to cover his pelvic region."Ummm…excuse me." I snapped at him. "I didn't know you were here. And besides, I knocked on the front door several times.""Well…this isn't the front door." He snapped back. "Get the fuck ou

    I stared at the contract document that Vress slid across the table, my eyes still wide from the shock and my palms still trembling slightly. I sat down back, and looked up at his emotionless face. "If I sign this." My voice came out less shaky than I was at the moment. "You delete the footage, yo

    "No fucking way." "Yeah, that's what I thought when they told me too." I dropped onto my bed face first, my body stretching off the pent up exhaustion in it. Hori was standing in the middle of the room, one sock half off her foot. She'd stopped attempting to remove it the moment I started talking

    "Are you fucking kidding me." Hori said, squeezing her face like I just said something offensive. "You really don't expect me to be a good fit with Chad…CHAD HENDERSON…Oh c'mon connie.""Well…I mean, he's hot though." I smirked playfully in an attempt to convince her since she was a crazy fan of ho
