LOGINRyu only smiled to himself as he kept swiping. "Damn you have so many pictures of him. Why didn't you tell me? You have to send them all to me. Each and every one."Wait. He suddenly thought of something and turned to face Yasu, looking suspicious. "Hey, why do you have so many pictures of Aito in the first place?""Dude, relax okay" Yasu said, rolling his eyes. "I'm engaged, remember?" He held up his hand, showing his engagement ring. "I'll be married to Kaito in a few months. I have no interest in your boyfriend." The only person he would ever have eyes for was his pretty Kaito.Ryu scoffed. "Then you don't need Aito's pictures. I'm gonna delete them from your phone after sending them to myself. I'll leave like...one for you to remember him by." And it would be the one he saw where Aito was dressed formally in a suit during his graduation party.Yasu shook his head, not caring anymore. After all, he didn't really need the pictures. "Do what you want."He took his glasses from the ni
Minho gazed at the best friends with tears in his eyes. He had been waiting for the day Aito would ruthlessly reject Haruto and Haruto would realize Aito truly didn't love him and would never love him. He wanted Haruto to accept the fact that he and Aito were never meant to be together but now, everything was ruined.He just never expected Aito to accept Haruto and even be willing to be in a relationship with him. What the hell was happening? Right when their wedding was at the corner. What would he say to Mr Shima now? What would he do? With this, Haruto would never accept him. At least he had hope before because he thought Aito would never return Haruto's feelings but now, now...fuck!Also, he didn't really buy the whole thing. He hadn't had many interactions with Aito, but he had a basic understanding of who Aito was and the way he lived his life, so he found the entire thing odd. Aito used to be a chronic homophobe until he met Ryuho. He was completely oblivious to Haruto's feelin
Aito rose to his feet and slowly walked towards Haruto —like a predator closing in on its prey. The air felt heavy, pressing down on Haruto's chest, making it harder for him to breathe. He didn't know when Aito became so oppressive. The atmosphere was suffocating."Dai," Aito continued. "Sara...Sakura, even her mother." He pronounced each name with each step, increasing the tension in the room before stopping right in front of Haruto. "You killed them all.""A-Aito, I can explain," Haruto stammered, swallowing hard. It was as he feared. Now Aito would never want to see him again. Their friendship was shattered, broken beyond repair. Everything he had hoped for—every plan, every dream of staying by Aito's side—was crumbling around him, piece by piece, like a collapsing house of cards. Just when he thought Aito was going to call him a cold-blooded murderer or hit him, Aito's lips suddenly curled into a grin, "Explain what? They fucking deserved it."Haruto was stunned. His mind reeled a
Haruto was sitting on a chair in the old, abandoned school building, looking nervous as hell. Aito had called him and asked to meet up. He was aware that Aito and Ryu had broken up, but he didn't know if they were still talking, and it drove him crazy just thinking about the possibility. Last time Aito asked to meet up, he didn't show so he had no idea what was going on between them. He just hoped it was truly as he had heard from that psycho Yuuki and that they were broken up for good. That way, he could help Aito heal and quickly replace Ryu in his life.Things would be as they were always meant to be. Just him and Aito."Do you think he'll come this time?" Haruto asked Minho, who was standing quietly behind him.Minho shrugged. "I don't know." And he really didn't care. He just wanted Haruto to forget about Aito already and focus on him, but Haruto was obsessed. Their wedding was coming up soon, but he hadn't even had the chance to tell him. The truth was that he was deathly afraid
How would they feel? Especially Ryu. The man went berserk when he thought he was dead before. How would he react now? How would everyone feel?Could he leave them and the new life they had all strived to give him? Could he truly do that to them? After everything?It was then he realised why no one wanted to tell him about his past. Why everyone kept it from him. Why they were afraid of telling him.He let out a small smile. They should have had more faith in him though.He reached out and took the bottle of painkillers then closed the cabinet.The answer was no.He couldn't do it. Although he felt like he didn't deserve to live because of what happened to Aera, it didn't mean he could waste his life.He had tried so many times before but none were successful. Even the night Ryu tried to ruin his family, he had tried. He wanted to go for living was too hard. But here he was. Very much alive.It definitely wasn't his time to go yet.Besides, he still had some scores to settle.He downed
She made Aito take a warm bath and helped him change his clothes and the sheets because they soaked in his sweat. They then laid down together and she hugged him tight. "Sleep sweetie. I'm here. No more bad dreams."Aito didn't say a word. He couldn't sleep for a while but his mum kept stroking his hair and humming softly. Slowly, he drifted to sleep."We can't leave him like this" Mrs Yamamoto said to her husband when she was sure Aito was fast asleep. "He needs help.""I know." Mr Yamamoto agreed. "But how are we going to help him without the public knowing? They harass me every day especially after Aera's mother sued us, saying our son make her daughter commit suicide. We'll need a miracle to get us out of this one."Mrs Yamamoto stared at her husband in disbelief. "You know what, sometimes I think I'm the only one who loves our son.""What?""You heard me." She said. "I mean, this is what you're worried about when our son cannot eat or sleep properly. It's been months now and he's
Mrs Yamamoto stood akimbo, glaring down at Aito. Even though she asked the question, she was dreading the answer. Who could her precious son possibly be talking about? Who could be so important to him? She had been keeping track of Aito's life and she knew the last person he dated was a girl called
"Yes." Kaito supported. "We won't let you blacken Ryu and keep yourself clean in the eyes of your son. We agree that Ryu did all that but what about you? What about the things you did? You should be grateful you're not in prison with your husband.""Besides," Kenji added. "You're exaggerating Aunti
"I know I should keep my distance but it's hard baby" Ryu continued as he hugged Aito tighter. "Anytime I see you, I just feel this maddening urge to hold you close to me. I want to feel you. To be beside you at all times. You have no idea how much I suffered without you last night"Aito scoffed, n
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Kenji shouted at Aito who was standing beside Ryu. "Do you have any idea how worried I was? How worried we all were? It's almost 2 in the fucking morning! Where did you go? Why weren't you answering your phone? What even made you stay out this late? Why didn't yo
