The Semblance of Bliss Chapter 1
“YOU’RE LATE.”Shun wiped off the sweat on his forehead. “I’m sorry.” He’s slightly panting as if he just had been into a long run. He then stood straight in front of his manager at the pizza parlor. “I encountered some minor accident on the way.”Shun wanted to grimace. Minor. He was almost kidnapped. Kidnapped!Shun barely even believed himself when thought of that. Earlier, he was just casually doing his job—his other job as a delivery guy—when he was tasked to deliver pancakes at a squatter area, then he found out that the customers were gangsters!

SHUN FOUND himself in a playground inside a park.It was 7 PM when he left the hospital, so the cold winds brushed gently through his skin. Shun was only wearing a shirt and jeans; he couldn't help but shiver slightly.He walked towards the center of the playground where the swing and a big slide are located. He can see from far away the silhouette of two people. One is seated on the swing and swinging it back and forth, making a soft creaking sound. While one is seated at the end of the slide.Several lampposts illuminated the area, which made him see the faces of the people when he reached their place.“Sachi! Harue!” he called out.The two yo

“NO, OF course.”Maybe because of how loud and blunt Shun had said it, Lincoln froze for a moment before realizing what he had just asked.He waved his hands in a panic manner as if clearing some invisible clouds of tension in the middle of them. “N-No, I mean–I, I, that’s–” Words stumbled, and face flushed because of embarrassment, Lincoln didn’t how he should say it.“Calm down first,” Shun calmly said. He sipped in his cocktail and looked away from Lincoln.He wasn’t that surprised by the other’s question. In fact, he already anticipated this. He very knew what a man like him himself was fond of doing in a place like this. Of course, what cou

Chapter 4“I’M REALLY sorry, I’m late.”Shun looked up at the man who emerged from a Mercedes. Although Lincoln wore extremely casual clothes: a red dress shirt and black denim jeans partnered with leather shoes, the man looks beyond handsome.Shun cleared his throat. He remembered he was currently disguised as a woman now. “Don’t mention it.”Lincoln stared at his face and Shun had to look away because of the awkwardness and slight nervousness. He knew his disguise is flawless, but he can’t stop feeling a bit guilty.A few days ago, when he told Lincoln he finally agreed to his offer, the other bombarded him with different kinds of thanks—with a bit of flirt, of course—and told him they had to make their relationship ‘realistic’. Shun doesn’t refute when Lincoln asked him to go to the mall together, to polished his cover.They both entered the mall and Lincoln was already talking a lot. “To b

Chapter 5****SHUN WAS humming happily while walking down the street. His lips were stretched into a big smile, both hands were inside his pockets. He was very happy he was able to pay his sister’s bills today. His sister will be operated on soon.Yesterday, Lincoln transferred the money he promised Shun. Because of that money, he was able to pay Shaine’s bills and his apartment rent. What a good day. Although today is also the day he will meet Lincoln’s parents, he wasn’t nervous. It’s a really good day for him to be nervous.Not until he passed on a alleyway, and heard voices of some men.“Is that him? He doesn’t look like that one.”“That’s him I sure! Haven’t I told you he’s always changing his appearance?”Shun turned to look at where the voice is coming from, and his eyes immediately widened in horror.There was a clusters of men on the alleyway, looking so ‘gangster-ish’ as some of t

THE TIME had stopped. Or so Shun thought. Shun’s body is very still when Lincoln’s cold lips are pressed against his. He almost forgot how to breathe. His pupils shook, his fingers trembled. He was taken aback. He doesn’t know what to do. Why? What? How? What the hell? What the fuck? Shun’s mind is a mess but one thing had never left his brain: Lincoln is kissing him. The

LINCOLN VEGA gazed outside through the glass window of his office. It wasn’t that bright that afternoon. He can see from above the high skyscrapers beside their own company building. Then his eyes went to the highest building he can see from afar. He can barely read the four-letter word on the top.Fengs.Lincoln blinked. He remembered that he once again bought clothes from that brand even though his family owns their own clothing brand. Well, that’s okay, I guess.It’ll be slightly suspicious if he brought Sheen to their own store and present her to his parents. Sheen.Lincoln didn’t notice that his lips curved slightly upon picturing the young woman in his mind. Ah, he missed her. It’s been a few days since they saw each other. When he’s trying to call her in the middle of the day, sometimes the woman wouldn’t answer or answer after a couple of rings. But if she answered, she always told him she was working and

“YOU’RE KIDDING me.”It was the first thing Shun said after Lincoln explained his conversation with his mom.“I wish I am,” Lincoln said, head lowered as if he can’t meet Shun’s eyes.Shun looked away, pursing his lips. He doesn't know what he’s currently feeling. Emotions were mixing inside him; annoyance, confusion, dismal. Marriage? That was clearly out of the question! He doesn’t want to get married—no, he can’t be married.Especially to Lincoln. To a man.For effing sake, he is a man too! They can’t be married. No. Pretending to be Lincoln’s girlfriend is one thing. Marrying him was another. And the worst part is, Lincoln doesn’t know he’s a man. He can’t just forge his documents to prove he is a woman. He isn’t, and he doesn’t have the ability to do so.A thought hit Shun.He looked at Lincoln, his eyes w
