“Aren’t you intrigued by the lives of comedians at least once in your life? I’m not referring to actors only… Anyone can be a comedian. I mean, it is literally impossible for anyone not to have problems. But I actually wonder how they cope with sadness and still have the energy to make other people happy...” I said, shifting the topic to something else when I noticed him being silent after what I said.

That’s when I realized what I did. Why did I suddenly become talkative with him? He was just asking why I love comedy so much! Damn, Noah!

“I don’t care about them, so I don’t,” he nonchalantly replied.

“Sometimes, those who are funny are the ones suffering deep inside. They just cover it up with their jokes and lively personalities. I can even consider them heroes. They can make other people happy without asking for anything in return, when in fact, they can’t make themselves happy. You know, comedy movies are not just about funny moments; they also have a lot of lessons that can

    8 months later.It has been months since Noah broke up with me. After that day, he cut off all contact, even blocking my number and social media accounts. I had no choice but to respect his decision, even though every part of me wanted to go to his condo and beg him to take me back.I could only admire him from afar—through his pictures and videos posted online. I even bought every magazine in which he appeared.“Hey, hottie,” someone purred.I looked at the woman who approached me. She wore a black satin mini dress that emphasized her cleavage. She wrapped her arms around my neck and sat on my lap without my permission.My eyebrows drew together at once. Irritated, I removed her hands from me and shoved her off my lap. She nearly lost her balance. Embarrassed, she looked at me in disbelief, utterly humiliated.“You’re playing hard to get, aren’t you?” she tried to act cool despite her shame.I’m gay. I wanted to say that, but I chose not to.“Leave me the fuck alone,” I snapped.I gr

    “What?” was all I could say.Even though I had expected this the moment I saw him again, I still couldn’t believe it. Or maybe I just didn’t want to accept it.“You heard me. I said I want to end things with you. I don’t think this is going to work anymore.”“No. No,” I murmured. “You’re just saying this because you’re mad.”I refused to face him. I didn’t want him to see how pathetic I was right now. I was afraid I was going to break down in front of him any second.“I am not mad.”“Yes, you are. You’re hurt. Jealous. That’s it. You’re letting your emotions get the better of you; that’s why you’re saying that.”“Yes. I am. I admit that. I mean, who wouldn’t? I just saw my boyfriend with his ex in his office, and he was stripping.”Although I wondered how he had found out Jacob was my ex, I didn’t have the energy to ask.“We didn’t get back together,” I said.He didn’t answer. Even though I badly wanted to see his face, I couldn’t, especially as my vision blurred with tears welling up

    “Leave,” I shooed Jacob away.It was early in the morning when he visited me in my office without telling me beforehand. This dickhead is really getting on my nerves.“I just arrived, and you want me to go home already?”“I’d be happier if you’d just go back to your country and never come back here,” I scoffed.“You know it only turns me on when you play hard to get, right?” he said seductively.I grimaced. What a disgusting piece of shit. I can’t believe I fell for a desperate jerk like him.“Go fuck yourself at your own fucking house, Jacob.”“Can’t I do it here? Your office is so spacious and clean. Let’s make a mess.”He stepped closer to my desk.“Fuck you,” I said angrily, glaring at him.“Sure.”He started unbuttoning his polo. I looked away and focused all my attention on my laptop. I heard his clothes hit the floor.I glanced up, ready to snap, but the door opened, and Noah came in holding a paper bag. Our eyes widened. Then, his gaze dropped to the floor where Jacob’s clothe

    I had just finished a meeting when Noah’s mother called me. I didn’t even know how she got my number. Well, probably from my useless father.“Yes?” I said, my voice calm, far from the way I used to treat her.“Hey. Uh, are you busy?”“I am. Why?”“Can we meet? I just want to ask you something. If only you can make time.”My eyes narrowed. What does she want from me? This is the first time she has approached me, and I don’t think this is nothing for her to even ask me to meet her.“About what?”“About my son.”“What about him?” I tried hard to sound cool.“I think it’s better if we talk about this in person. But if you’re busy today, we can schedule it whenever you’re free.”“No!” I answered almost immediately. Then, realizing I’d overreacted, I cleared my throat and tried to backtrack. “I mean, no—uh, yes, I think I can. Wait, let me just check my schedule for today.”I pushed my office door open and went in. I muted the call before asking my secretary to clear my schedule for the day

    I drove Noah to his condo and changed him into comfortable clothes. As much as I wanted to spend more time with him, I couldn’t.I pushed open my condo door, and as expected, he was there again, sitting on the couch, patiently waiting for me.He stood up and greeted me with a smirk. He leaned in as if to kiss me, but I shoved him away and gave him a glare.“Fuck off,” I hissed.He’s Jacob, my obsessed ex-boyfriend. He came back months ago and started hitting on me again.Of all my exes, he lasted the longest. Maybe because, somehow, we got along on a lot of things.“Not now,” I said, fighting irritation.He scoffed. “Where have you been? It’s already dawn. Why are you just getting home now?”I bumped his arm as I walked past him.“Answer me, Kade.”I looked at him over my shoulder. “Stop calling me that.”The corner of his mouth lifted. “Why? Isn’t that what I used to call you? It didn’t bother you before, did it?”“Before,” I emphasized, mocking him, “I can’t believe you’re still as

    Rage flared up in my chest the moment I heard someone tell Noah he should make out with someone.Who the hell was that asshole? I wanted to punch his face until it bled.My anger flared even more when he hung up. I tried calling him again, but he didn’t pick up. Damn it!I could tell he was in a bar from the background noise on the call. I decided to go to the bar he usually hung out at.I couldn’t rest all night until I was sure he was in his condo and alone.I kept muttering curses under my breath as I left my condominium building. On the way, all kinds of scenarios ran through my head. Make out my ass. I gritted my teeth, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Whoever touches Noah’s skin will suffer for the rest of their life.When I got to the bar owned by one of his friends, I scanned the place, but I failed to find him. He wasn’t there. I had no choice but to go back to my car.“Damn it, Noah. Don’t do something stupid,” I muttered.He won’t do it, will he? I don’t want to imagine
