—TWO WEEKS LATER— As soon as the management trainees and other employees settled in, an announcement ran through the entire building through the speakers. "EVERY EMPLOYEE IS TO ASSEMBLE IN THE ORIENTATION HALL BY 1:00P.M A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE MADE.""A meeting?" Owen frowned immediately; the speaker went off. "What is it about?" He asked."We both heard the announcement together just now; how am I supposed to know what it's about?" Ethan rolled his eyes."I wasn't actually asking you." Owen hissed. "I'm curious tho, this is the first time we are being invited to one of their meetings..." He pointed out."We'll find out once it's time," Ethan replied."Yeah." Owen nodded."Maybe your boyfriend has finally decided to make it public," Masson said from his desk, not looking up. Ethan also ignored him completely, while Owen hissed. —1:00P.M ORIENTATION HALL— Everyone sat in the hall quietly, anticipation eating through them. No one knew what the meeting w

Carlos pulled away slowly, his arms still wrapped around Ethan's waist, staring at his face as Ethan slowly opened his eyes. Carlos searched his face for any expression, but he couldn't find any; Ethan only stared back at him."I-I-I have to go..." Ethan finally spoke, pulling away slowly."It's late," Carlos said calmly, trying not to bring up the kiss; he knew Ethan didn't want to talk about it."I can drive, don't worry." Ethan insisted, still not looking Carlos in the eyes.Carlos felt a little sad at Ethan's reaction, but he didn't push it; instead, he nodded. "I'll have some guards follow you.""It's not.." Ethan was about to argue but changed his mind. "Alright." He finally agreed; Carlos nodded."Thanks for tonight," Ethan said again. Carlos still didn't say a word; he probably didn't hear a thing cause his eyes were locked on Ethan's lips again.God knows he wanted more. His lips felt softer than he imagined, and they tasted like chocolate. Carlos leaned in again, trying

Carlos stared back at the shut door. Ethan... really shut the door in his face? No. But it was true; the reality was staring back at him. He staggered a few steps back. Before he could hold himself, he yelled out, "Ethan!!!" And as if the heavens felt his pain, the sky roared, and without warning, it began raining.Carlos stood there rooted to the spot; he wasn't even aware of the rain or anything happening around him. Cold seeped into his body, and slowly, his knees gave out, sending him crashing to the ground.He knelt under the rain, not shaking, not blinking, eyes fixed on the floor, and like that an hour passed, then two, then three...till he actually stopped counting.He knelt there; even after the rain stopped around 4:00a.m., he was still kneeling. Until the day slowly began to brighten up and the sun began to rise.Then Carlo's felt something in his mouth, something watery, something...salty. He reached to touch his face; he was crying. A broken chuckle tore from his throa

—TWO WEEKS LATER— It's been two weeks since Carlos sent that weird text, but Ethan was still thinking about it. He still stared at the text, trying to make up a different, less scary theory in his head.He had been calling Carlos' phone. He knew he had promised himself not to call Carlos, but he couldn't help it and ended up calling him.At first, he didn't pick up; then the calls stopped going through, and it scared Ethan more than he was willing to admit.He picked up his phone again, typing another text just as he had been doing for the past two weeks."Hey""Are you okay?""Are you avoiding me?""We need to talk, Carlos."He sent everything all at once, and still kept staring at his phone. This had been his routine since Carlos sent the text. His eyes stayed glued to his screen, waiting for a reply, or at least to see that Carlos had read it, but nothing happened.Ethan sighed before dropping his phone face down on his desk, letting out a long breath.He leaned ba

The security team had helped with the stuck elevator, and both of them were already out. This was like a compulsory thing in the company. Whenever there was a sudden power outage, the security team immediately split up across every elevator in order to force it open, in case there was someone inside. As soon as the doors were opened, Ethan walked away immediately. He didn't speak to anyone, nor did he spare anyone a glance, especially Owen; he definitely couldn't. How would he explain everything that happened?He walked into a nearby restroom, locking himself inside. He turned on the tap, watching the water pour out for a while without moving before finally collecting some water into his palm, splashing it over his face, without minding that it soaked his hair and shirt.After about a minute of continuous splashing, he stopped, looking into the mirror to stare at his own unrecognizable reflection: messy and wet hair, red, puffy eyes, a red nose, a soaked shirt and shaky hands.He
