View More"Guys, it's been a while since we spent time together. Why don't we go out tonight and stay in a hotel if it gets late?" Alex Scurtis suggests as he walks towards Eryx's car. Eryx is the powerful young master of the Silvester family.
"That's a great idea, isn't it?" Alex's amused tone irritates Eryx. Alex smiles at Braylon, who is sitting next to him silently and squeezing his hands nervously. Braylon always tries to say something to Eryx but ends up staying silent. It's been one week since they finished their degree exam in forensic criminology. They've all been friends for three years. "Count me in, babies!" Revilla jumped suddenly, almost scaring Alex half to death. These young criminology students don't know how many hearts they are going to steal. A gust of wind blows, making the atmosphere more lively. “Get in the car, guys. Today is our day to enjoy,” Eryx invited them. Eryx was at the peak of his enjoyment. He didn't know how to describe the happiness he was feeling right now. But poor him, he didn't know it wouldn't last long. “Where are we going?” Braylon finally spoke. His soft, husky voice made Eryx's heart flutter for a moment. He had been friends with Braylon for three years, yet these feelings were strange and hard to explain. “Let’s go to the hotpot first, then the bar, and afterward, we can rest at a nearby hotel or motel. If we want, we can even go for a long drive,” Eryx suggested. Revilla and Alex screamed in excitement, clearly enjoying themselves. “When am I going to tell him that I’m leaving the city and going abroad for further studies? I’ve tried hard to tell him, but he always refuses to listen. My flight is tomorrow evening, and time is so limited. Can I manage to tell him?” Braylon was lost in his thoughts. Having applied to a university abroad, Braylon needed to study for his entrance exam and stay on campus to revise. This meant he had to leave sooner than expected. “Braylon, why are you staying silent? Man, at least say something,” Alex said, shaking his shoulder. It was unusual for Braylon to be so quiet. Normally, he was charming, cheerful, and talkative. “He's been like that for a week,” Eryx groaned, rolling his eyes. He wasn't used to Braylon's silence, and it really irritated him. When they were halfway to the hotpot, a car sped past them, brushing Eryx's ego the wrong way. “Fuck,” he yelled, speeding up as much as he could. “Eryx, relax. Don’t try to chase them. We’re here to have fun,” Braylon said, touching his hand. Braylon tried to calm Eryx down as much as he could. He was the only one who could stabilize the young master of Silvester's mood swings. The speed of the car decreased, and everyone let out a sigh of relief. They reached the hotpot place, which was crowded and lively. It was no surprise since it was located outside the city in a peaceful environment. They sat around a simmering pot of soup at the center of the table, with various raw ingredients like meat, seafood, vegetables, tofu, and starches. Braylon was always lost in his emotions. They had been friends for more than three years and were like one soul in two bodies. But for Braylon, the feelings he had for Eryx were not just of friendship but of romantic love. Yes, he was homosexual. He realized it too late when he discovered his feelings for Eryx. It was hard to hide, especially when his friends were always clingy and unaware of his sexual orientation. His love had always been silent. He didn't want to reveal it, knowing it would definitely cause chaos between them. “Let's dig in!” Alex said excitedly, eager to taste the tempting food. “Stop drooling, man,” Revilla Macbeth chuckled at Alex while piling food onto her plate. She never missed a chance to make fun of him. Despite the lively atmosphere, Braylon felt a sense of emptiness. He could give up his master’s degree to stay, but he couldn’t abandon his dreams for such a reason. “Eat more, you’re as skinny as a girl,” Eryx said, serving Braylon food. Revilla pouted cutely at Eryx’s comment. “Don’t call us skinny! Your darling is the only one who’s underweight. Let’s check the weight; I’m sure he’ll be the one underweight,” she retorted, starting to bicker with Eryx. Alex laughed hard. “Can you guys please stop fighting? We’re here to eat, not to argue,” Braylon said, calming Eryx down. Revilla and Alex, aware of Braylon’s feelings, looked at him with concern. It had only been an hour, but it felt much longer. The pleasant, tempting smell of food lingered in their nostrils. “Eryx, I want to confess something to you, but I'm afraid you’ll hate me afterward,” Braylon thought, engulfed by resentment. Despite the chilly climate and the tempting food, it was an amazing experience. “So, what are you guys going to do now that we’ve finished our bachelor’s degrees?” Alex asked, looking at Braylon expectantly, as if he already knew the answer. Eryx, oblivious to the undercurrents around him, took a sip of wine. “I have no idea yet.” “I’m going back to my hometown. They’re arranging my marriage, and I need to stop it before it goes too far,” Revilla sighed deeply. Alex frowned at the news. Unlike the rest, Revilla was from a small town, and her parents were farmers. They had allowed her to study criminology because she wanted to. However, marriage was a different matter; her parents were more concerned about societal expectations. It wasn't that he didn't know about Revilla's family, but the news about her marriage was sudden. He felt a heaviness in his heart but tried to smile. They enjoyed the hotpot, savoring it as if it were their first time, even though it wasn't. They had been friends since their first year of college. They weren't average students; they were the top of their class. Their intelligence secured their high ranks, and others envied them for their academic success and strong, long-lasting friendship. Any misunderstandings were quickly resolved before they could threaten their bond. “Let’s go to a bar. I want to get drunk until I’m wasted,” Alex shouted, trying to distract himself. Revilla hit him on the head. “Don’t disturb others, you crackhead,” she said, irritated. Braylon smiled gently while Eryx couldn’t stop laughing. Alex and Revilla were always like that, bickering playfully but deeply understanding each other. They knew each other so well that it sometimes seemed like they were a couple, even though they weren't..It was like a strong storm finished in their life. Braylon almost lost his sanity, when Alan was kidnapped. It had been two weeks, and everything had happened. Alan was coming out of the trauma slowly, Eryx often came home to cheer up his son. He wasn't going to school, not yet. "He must be tired. But he is strong, don't worry." Eryx squeezed Braylon's shoulder, pulling him close to Eryx. Braylon just hummed in response; eyes gazing at the sleeping figure of Alan softly. "Sister Zaneta came home to invite us to her wedding, but Alan didn't talk to her and ran into his room. She was suspicious about it, but I managed to lie to her." Braylon's eyes brimmed with tears, chest congested with a feeling of agony. "It's okay, he needs some time." Braylon nodded. "Alex and others came home but left just before you came. Alan seemed quite active today." "He will get out of this trauma soon. He is just a kid and it was too much for him. Just believe him." Braylon inclined his head in ag
"I am coming with you two," "No... you aren't going anywhere," Eryx sternly said, refusing Braylon's request. "He is my son. I'll come with you two. If you two refuse me, I don't hesitate to kill myself," okay, this was the underrated threatening from Braylon, but what they didn't expect was his hands were holding a knife. Eryx and Adler exchanged a worried glance, their faces tight with concern. Eryx stepped forward, his voice low but firm. “Braylon, I know how much this means to you, but it’s too dangerous. You need to stay safe. He is my son as well. Don't do anything stupid.” Braylon’s eyes flashed with anger. “I’m not staying behind while my son is out there. I’m coming with you, whether you like it or not.” Adler sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair. “We can’t protect you and search for Alan at the same time. You’ll slow us down.” “I won’t be a burden,” Braylon snapped. “I’m a trained detective, remember? I can handle myself.” Eryx glanced at Adler, seeing the
"Let's go home," Adler softly exclaimed. Braylon shook his head denying the offer. "We can't stay here, baby. We will surely find Alan, but for that, you have to be strong, right?" Eryx caressed his love's hair. Adler and Eryx had finally managed to convince Braylon to leave the bustling mall, where they had spent an hour under police surveillance. Adler informed his members before leaving the mall. It had been a long and exhausting day for everyone, and the last thing they wanted was to add to the worries of the Rhys couple. So, they decided to take Braylon to Adler's apartment, a place where Braylon could be safe for now. Adler's apartment was a haven after the chaos he had experienced. Adler went to cook something for Braylon. Eryx followed Adler. "Do you want anything?" Adler asked while searching for the ingredients. "Where is the first aid kit? I will treat his wound." Eryx uttered. "In the bedroom. Second cupboard on the left," Adler instructed. With a hum, E
It was another day, and Alan was once again brimming with excitement. He had been begging Braylon to take him outside ever since they had fun in the amusement park. And it was his demand since Braylon hung out with his friend and refused to bring him with them. “Please, Dad, can we go out today? Please?” Alan had asked that morning, his big brown eyes wide with hope. Braylon sighed, knowing he couldn't resist his son's plea. “Alright, alright, baby. Let’s go to the mall. But you have to promise to behave, okay?” Alan’s face lit up with a huge grin. “I promise! I’ll be the best behaved!” He ran to get changed, and Braylon stood there adoring his son. With that settled, Braylon got them both ready, making sure Alan had his favourite sneakers on and a small backpack with snacks and a water bottle. They headed out, the sun shining brightly as they walked to the nearby mall. Mr and Mrs Rhys hadn't returned from the business trip so He just texted them about the outing. At the mall, Al
The day had finally arrived. Eryx and Braylon had been planning the outing, and now it was happening. Braylon called Alex and Revilla, and then he contacted Adler and Franklyn to join them. Even though Braylon informed them, once again Eryx called them to confirm the outing. Alex and Revilla were happy about this little outing. In their group, they were only staying in the work since Eryx and Braylon quit. It was their dream job, but when their life took an unexpected turn, they had to choose a path that was not even their profession; that kinda hurts them, though. They hadn't seen each other for the past few weeks, and this little outing to the hotpot to the old place was what they needed. Eryx was the one to pick everyone from their place, Braylon's excitement bubbled in his face. It was quite hard for Braylon to convince Alan since the younger was stubborn to join them. Braylon wasn't selfish in not taking his son with him. It was quite a remote place; Alan would be uncomfort
In just one month, Alan would turn five, and today was the day Eryx and Braylon had planned to enrol him in the school. Alan’s excitement was visible; he had been homeschooled by his grandparents until now, and the expectation of attending a regular school with other children thrilled him. Braylon wanted Alan to experience school life. He argued with his parents to let Alan study in the school rather than homeschool. At last, the Rhys couple decided to accept the decision Braylon made. Alan was mature for his age and understood how Braylon was struggling and many other things, which was something both Eryx and Braylon were proud of, mostly Braylon. Eryx, Braylon, and Alan arrived at the school. The school building loomed large and renovated, compared to other kids' schools, with children’s laughter echoing from the playground. Alan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the new atmosphere, excitement pooled in him. He was squealing with joy inside, obviously. It was new for him. Braylo
