At nang-asar pa nga sina Kasumi, nang makita nilang wala na akong ibang magagawa kundi ang mag-step forward. Bumuntong hininga na lang ako at kinuha ko ang hawak hawak na mic ng emcee. Nagpunta ako sa harapan at saka humarap kay Kenji at Ryosuke. Nang makita ko na nakangiti ang dalawa, lalong lalo na si Kenji ay binaling ko na lang ang tingin ko sa mga bisita. Inikot ko ang tingin ko at lahat sila ay may iba't ibang ekspresyon. Of course, it was rare for us to come up on stage and let everyone know about our existence. After all, we are not fond of being watched."Hello, good day, everyone." I greeted them. I am not worried about speaking in front of many people since everyone around me is always telling me how good my voice sounds in the ears of the listeners. That is also the reason why a lot of students, way back when I was in college, wanted to be part of my team or group. "I am Aoi Takeshi, the second-in-command in the Omega Keys Circle. Well, let me tell you a story about how ou
As time passed, I could feel that my body was starting to deteriorate. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung tama ba talaga ang naging desisyon ko noon o hindi. Still, my mind, my heart, everything to me, does not want to let him go.I clenched my fist on my chest. I started to feel a pain on my chest combine with the pain on my nape. When I was in the hospital for an hour, I felt like I wanted to puke. I don’t want to be there any longer. Pakiramdam ko kapag nagstay pa ako roon ay mas lalo pa akong mahihirapan bukod pa sa sitwasyon ko."Are you really sure na okay ka na?" dinig ko na tanong ni Mr. Choi, ang isa sa secretary ni Ryosuke.Ngumiti ako. "I may have looked pale, frail, and fragile, but I am not," I answered. "Sorry for causing a little disturbance," I added.Kaagad naman na napatigil si Mister Choi sa kaniyang ginagawa at naayos naman ako ng upo nang marinig ko ang pagpalo ni Miss Tan sa mesa niya."Sorry? Disturbance? Sir Takeshi, you’re looking down on yourself too much. Hindi ka dis
"All right, I'll do it." Napabuntong hininga na lang ako nang matapos akong makipag-usap kay Ryosuke sa phone. Hindi ko alam kung anong balak ng lalaking ito dahil pakiramdam ko ay pinaparusahan niya ako. Hindi ba siya aware na baka makita ko roon si Takeru? And isa pa itong si Kenji. Wasn't he the one who hated Takeru the most? Why does it seem like he's helping him to meet me? I sighed. Whatever the case, I couldn't do something about this one. I should just follow his orders. Napayukom naman ako ng kamao ko. I left the room yesterday when he arrived at Ryosuke's office. And now, may chance na magkita na naman kami and at worst, ay baka mag-usap pa kami since this is a joint project. I massaged my temple as I tried to calm myself down. This is going to be a very heavy and tiring project so far. I hope I can pull myself out of this mess as soon as possible. After I'm done preparing for myself, I get ready to leave. When I was at the bus stop, I frowned when I saw a familiar car.
I groaned when I heard my alarm clock go off. Sh!t, why do I have to go to the company early this morning? I should have been able to lie down for an hour or two, but because of Ryosuke and Kenji, I couldn't.I sat up, sighing. Napahawak ako sa leeg ko nang maramdaman ko na naman ang pamilyar na sakit nito. Hindi ito kasing intense ng kagabi, pero nagagawa pa rin nitong mapangiwi ako. I should have been able to tolerate it since it's been five years since I felt this pain, but I couldn't. Since the very start, I couldn't tolerate it. The pain I felt inside feels so much lalo na ngayong nasa iisang lugar ako with Takeru. I expected this to happen since before, but this is too much. For the nth time, I sighed again. I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. I should get ready, or else, I'm going to be late. I stayed up late last night not because I was reading the things needed for today's meeting but because of the mark on my nape. It wouldn't let me sleep even a wink.
"Sir Shion, we are here to reduce the risk even further." I know that a lot of companies wanted to collaborate with you, but we are all aware of why you chose us. It was to lessen your risk, so don't make us repeat ourselves." Wow, Mister Choi is really something. Siguro dahil sa matagal niyang pananatili sa tabi ni Ryosuke ay nakuha na rin niya ang ilan sa mga habbit ng boss niya. I mean, him being dominant in this meeting despite being a secretary really lives up to the expectations of the people. "Mister Shion, giving you the list of models that will participate may offend your designer. I hope you are not the kind of person who will choose profit over something more important." I subconsciously looked at Takeru. Heh. Why are you looking so hurt? Aren't you the one who did that. "It wasn't our forte, and even though we have our way to contact them, it wasn't good to bypass your designer. That person did his best to design the best clothing for your company, and I hope you treat t
Napahawak na lamang ako sa sintido ko nang makarating ako sa labas ng office. Argh, my head hurts. Hindi ko akalain na ganoon ang magiging sitwasyon ko sa loob.I smiled wryly. Wow, I managed to endure everything from the very start. Even though the omega tried to provoke me, he did not win. Also, Takeru's gaze makes me feel a little happy.I opened my palm and stared at it. It still has Takeru’s pheromones. He is still the same as before. I smiled. He let me sniff some of his pheromones in front of his fiancé. I don’t know if it was okay, but it was definitely not appropriate.I sighed. I guess it calls for a drink.I took out my cellphone and chatted with our group chat.Who’s going to drink with me? Not long after that, they all replied. Kasumi couldn’t go with me since he’s still busy in the bar. Meanwhile, Kenji was still on honeymoon. As for Daisuke, he’s trying to hide since he saw the alpha who tried to mark him in our country. Only Rayle and Haru are available. Since Rayle i
Napatitig ako sa labas ng bintana. Rayle's apartment is on the top of the mountain. Thus, we could see almost everything from our rooms.I sighed. Should I or should I not?I was nervously fidgeting with my fingers. If ever I get my hopes up, I will surely get hurt. I don't know if I could still handle the pain if it happened twice. I will surely die of literal heartbreak."But what they told me makes me think about it thoroughly." I looked down.When I heard the door of the balcony open, I looked at it. I saw Rayle's alpha coming out of Rayle's room.He looked at me, smiled, and bowed his head. "Hello, you're still up?"I slowly nodded my head. "Yeah," I answered, looking back at the scenery in front of me. "Usually, I was already dead asleep, but I couldn't.""Too many things on your mind?"I only uttered an "En" while nodding my head twice. Well, it was normal for me to talk to other alphas like this since I am not the type of person who likes to talk a lot now.Since that day, I
Even though my head is throbbing with pain, I still carried myself out of Rayle’s house. Hindi ko na sila ginising dahil alam ko na masarap pa rin ang tulog nila. Si Haru naman, siguradong nagising iyon ng maaga kanina dahil sa narinig ko ang pag-iyak ng baby niya.I quite envy Haru for some reason. Alam ko na hindi dapat dahil sa hindi naman niya ginusto na mabuntis noon pero alam ko naman na malaki rin ang naging role ni baby sa buhay ni Haru dahil alam niya na ito ang nagpapalakas sa kaniya.Kung may anak kaya tayo, Takeru, iiwan mo pa rin kaya ako?Napahawak ako sa sintido ko at hinilot ko ito. Ah, bakit sa lahat ng oras ay naiisip ko siya?"Sir, okay ka lang po ba?" Binuksan ni Aoi ang kaniyang mga mata at nakita niya ang pag-aalala sa mukha ng taxi driver. "Sorry, para kasing hindi ka okay," he added.Ngumiti ako. "Sorry, masyado po bang halata?"Tumango naman ang taxi driver sa akin. "Halata. Omega ka po ba?"I flinched. "Um," I uttered."Kung nag-away kayo ng alpha mo, I think
