“Did… did we lose them?” Sky asks the person heavily panting beside him. They have been running for so long.“I don’t know… let’s find somewhere to hide first,” answered the person. His face was blurry and his whole body was drenched with sweat. Both of them ran towards the thick bush to hide their slim figures. It was around six in the evening and they were cornered in a forest away from the city.The two boys were nervous and helpless. They had been running for nearly two hours now. They barely escaped from the black van that took them in front of their school if not for the tactics used by the boys.“Sky, even if you are feverish, we have to leave here alive, okay?” the boy said in a commanding tone with no room to debate. He was determined to save Sky and himself. He still wanted to go home and eat his favorite hot pot and stir-fry bullfrog. They needed to survive and surviving means taking risks. If the worst scenario happened, at least Sky should leave here alive.They were out
It was around eight in the morning when Kole arrived at Sky's house. Sleeping was not his best friend; he was always forcibly woken up by his mind. "Sky, I brought you breakfast." He had his unabashed smile hanging on his face while waving the wrapped food in his hand. "Doctor, I... I already had my breakfast." Scratching his head lightly, Sky answered him honestly. "Oh?" For the past few days, he noticed that Sky was not fond of eating breakfast, "then, I have an idea. This food should not go to waste." Kole said in high spirits. He can take advantage of this situation to slowly open Sky's closed heart and the food should not go to waste, last night was enough. "Can I come in?" asked Kole cheerily. Kole has been standing outside the whole time. The first time he visited, he let himself in. This time he wanted Sky to invite him in or to allow him to come in. This will help him assimilate if Sky was ready to accept people in his safe zone. Kole caught the uneasiness lurking in Sky'
Sky's physique can be described as skin and bone, his cheeks and eyes sunken, and his lips have few cracks even his wrist can be encircled by one's thumb and index finger. It was the result of years of eating unhealthy food. Despite this, the beauty he had can't be denied. This past few days, Sky's mood improved, and his eyes had little light in them. Unaware of his action, Kole slowly approached where Sky was. His eyes fixed on that sweaty-innocent face. Bit by bit he lifted his hand planning to remove the hair sticking near Sky's eyes. Kole stared at Sky full of yearning, his eyes nostalgic and his head muddled. The air around them feels humid, adding spice to the scene. "Doctor?" Sky called out. He didn't know exactly what happened to the doctor. Sky was befuddled by the situation. Does the doctor need anything? Was he going to take the box from him? But he can carry it on his own. Sky felt a little awkward seeing the doctor get closer and closer to him. Kole continues to sta
What's fulfillment, what's the meaning of happiness, and what's... love? Was it seventeen years ago that he first met Sky? The image of the boy in the dinosaur cosplay was still vivid in his memories. The boy in a dinosaur outfit was standing outside the closed store waiting for a taxi to come but as though luck wasn't on his side, the rain suddenly poured and the poor dinosaur seeks shelter. The only shelter he saw was the black RV parked in front of him. The dinosaur was left with no choice, he ran towards the RV and knocked as if his life depended on it. Knock! Knock! "Let me take shelter, please." the dinosaur boy said. The boy wearing a minion outfit hurriedly open the door for the dinosaur boy to enter. The dinosaur boy barge in and quickly finds the khaki color sofa to sit on. His hair was slightly damped and his outfit had some traces of rain. The minion boy was standing in front of him, dazed, staring at him without blinking. "Are you okay?" the dino boy asked. The mi
The brilliant sun continued to illuminate the earth, blinding the eyes of the person in front of Sky. For a moment, Kole saw flashes of happy memory he had kept hidden in his heart. For a moment, he saw tears and agony in those memories. The scene that Sky saw was too blurry to identify the boy in his mind. It could be considered a complete Deja vu but Kole instead had his hand frozen in Sky's head. Forcing himself to act natural, he asked Sky, "What? What do you mean?"His face turning pale, he was thinking of the perfect alibi to every possible answer that Sky will give. At most, he can't let him remember him or all these sacrifices will be in vain.He got everything planned out; he will cure Sky and completely vanish from his life after. However, now, Sky's question was troubling him. Did he become the trigger?"Just now, I saw a blurry image that I didn't remember at all," he said scratching his head with puzzlement.Hearing his response, Kole breathed a sigh of relief, "oh. May
Before, he thought, maybe it was just a coincidence that the doctor had the same appearance as his deceased husband, that the boy in his dreams and the doctor had the same name. Everything could be just a coincidence but... "We have never talked about what I want and what I like," he wanted to brush it off, the feeling of being toyed with, lied to, and constantly being kept in the dark. The doctor had helped him, and Kole did so much with patience. Maybe, Kole was a friend from before. Maybe, Kai's face was just so ordinary that there will be a perfect copy of him, maybe... maybe... "Tell me, who are you?" he couldn't hide his emotion anymore, his blood boiling from confusion, his mind was too muddled he cannot fathom the situation. "Please, tell me, are you that boy in my dream?" He knew it was crazy to ask Kole about this, he could be jumping to conclusions and he might not be that boy but what can he do? Clues and shreds of evidence were already laid in front of him. It might n
[TW: Kidnapping.] Taking a deep breath, Kole started to speak, "It was seventeen years ago when we first met..." After he and Sky became lovers that rainy night, Kole started to pick up Sky at his school. Kole was in an All-Boys School while Sky was in a mixed-gender Private School. Every day, after school, Kole will quickly leave to wait for Sky outside the school gate. He will always wait for his baby to come out from that gold, high towering gate of the luxurious school. And every day he will bring Sky a gift, yesterday it was an apple, then a sandwich, dumplings, sometimes gardenia flowers, a plumeria, and a blue rose. Whatever he could think of that looks pretty or will suit Sky he will undoubtedly bring. A cute and pure love between them who were in the prime of their youth. "Sky! Here." A surge of students wearing gold yellow skirts and pants with white upper long-sleeved and yellow gold neckties walked outside of the school gate. Even if it's a hundred or a thousand stude
[TW: Kidnapping. Self-blame.]If money was involved, they could still be saved. Transactions between their parents and these people will take time but it will also give them time to plan out an escape. If there was no money involved then... what does it mean? Who was the master they were talking about? There was no time to think deeper about that sentence, they have to escape. Sky looked at Kole and as if they were talking through telepathy, they both grabbed the hair of the two kidnappers and bite their ears without hesitation. When the car zigzag, Sky then let go of the driver and open the door, both of them jump and landed on the road, rolling. When they bounced on the cliff barrier, they stood up and while holding each other's hand, run as fast as they could without looking back. It was the adrenaline that gave them instant speed, it was the desire to save each other that gave their legs extra strength and it was fear that kept them going.They have hidden in the bushes, crouc
