Semua Bab The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days: Bab 101 - Bab 110

WARNING: HOMOPHOBIC SLURS, READ WITH CAUTION! Crickets hummed a song, slightly soothing the trembling heart of Travis that was in the creaminess of melancholy. Cracks seemed to decorate his heart as he searched for answers. The moon was shining brightly in the sky like a sparkling diamond thrown in the ocean of pulsating tiny fish. The breeze gently kissed his skin, trying to help his body cool but that was a mission impossible. His blood was wildly boiling; veins had long protruded everywhere on his sweat-drenched skin. He nervously clenched his teeth while swallowing deepily; trying to get rid of a lump that was dancing in the chambers of his throat. His dilated eyes with shock sharply darted up and down the blue screen of his phone that for some reason proved to be heavy for his sweating hand. A frown had long glued itself across his forehead, shamelessly finding a temporary home immediately when he had switched his phone on. Questions and thoughts raced in his head, making it

“David is the guest. He is invited all of a sudden, but why? Mrs Park has also hired the best, well-known chef because of him. What could be why he was invited and why was I not told?” An agitated Jiyeon silently investigated. Thoughts were swirling in the back of her head, thwarting her from thinking of anything else but them. Her heart was beating heavily, not because she was scared but because she could not wait to finally set her eyes on David, whom he wished the worst had happened to him. With questions invading her head, she lost interest in Arthur and forgot that he was still around. On the other side, Arthur’s heart was jingling with delight watching Jiyeon’s reaction. He quietly ate his apple and finished it all without saying anything else to Jiyeon. Travis and Mrs Park suddenly showed up in the dining room — the maids were already done setting the table. “Oh, come on in, David. Please, don’t be afraid, make yourself at home.” David who was being walked by a guard stood s

The rising sun gently blew its beams down to the Park mansion, there, where they innocently floated into the kitchen, mischievously landing on Travis's pale face. They meant no harm but Travis swiftly released a loud, sonorous sigh, his forehead wrinkling with irritation. “I knew her silence meant nothing good but was it necessary to have said all those nasty things in David's face? Whoever said I care about the name!?” Immediately after a minute, an agitated Travis whose veiny eyes were flickering with rage that was equally married to fear, hissed through his teeth as quietly as he could. His phone laid heavily on his trembling, sweaty hand as he leafed through its blue screen. His heart was throbbing uncontrollably against his chest as he typed a message to David. That would be the seventh message he'd have to type to his boyfriend whom did not respond since last night. None of the messages were responded or read, not even to mention his calls. That was the reason why Travis was

[THE SAME DAY…]NIGHT,The wind blew its stinging kisses on David’s warm skin, which was slowly becoming cold. His hair whipped fast as the gentle breeze continued to play hide and seek on the strands of his hair.There, he slouched with undistinguished fright as he watched the broad back of Mr M, whose hand was hidden deep into the pockets of his trousers while his other free, gloved hand carefully held tight on his cigar. The mafia don puffed smoke out as his eyes admired the night sky above them.“Enchanting, isn’t it?” Mr M aired a question intended for David, who was trying his best to hold in his emotions and keep his heart steady, but of course, it was becoming a hard activity. Behind David were two strongly built guards who were coolly looking around.“Y-yes. Very enchanting…!” The boy replied instantly after recalling that the man before him did not like to repeat himself or wait for a response. His eyes slowly rose at Mr Sok, who had been standing next to Mr M, carefully fo

Heavy! His head was overwhelmed by tormenting, poisonous thoughts that made it hard for him to think straight. Pain? Every part of his head was kept hostage by a piercing pain that struck every nerve of his brain. His chest barely moved; it was as if he had no energy to breathe, and the truth was that he wished he could not at all. There, he laid on the bed, his puffy and red eyes blankly staring at the ceiling. Nothing — his heart throbbed with slow beats as he listened to the shrieking thoughts that shamelessly lay heavy on his brain. Nothing was the same, it never was ever since he received that envelope with Travis's name on it. He tried to console himself — pacify himself to forget about anything else and focus on the mission but the problem was, the mission was to betray the person he loved. Well, he already betrayed him — sleeping with Sean was the biggest betrayal of them all. “I wish…it could be me instead, mom. I wish it was me sleeping there, maybe…maybe I
