[In The Middle Of The Night!] “Should I tell them, David?” Kevin hissed, a treacherous smile stuck on his face whilst his eyes slyly observed as David silently struggled with his words. The boy could feel everyone's heavy eyes placed on his figure — his shoulders had suddenly become heavy and he could not breathe. For some reason, Travis's eyes carefully pasted themselves on Kevin and glided on the smallest parts of his figure. “Too many secrets, I wonder if you are a cheetah!” Travis spoke to himself as he took a deep breath into his system. “I'm sorry, Travis!” David whispered under his breath just when he had cleared his throat. “Oh well, it seems like he is shy!” Kevin chuckled. “Guys, I will tell you who this is!” Kevin spat and huffed. “This is David's…!”“I'm David's brother, nice to meet all of you!” Kevin quickly blurted, a smile mischievously stuck across his face while his eyes followed David's movements as he flinched with surprise. The boy had already closed his eyes
“You are not going anywhere tonight! I won't let you run away again!” Sean who was grinning whilst his eyes were glistening with glee, spoke as he carefully took careful, menacing steps towards David. David — he frowned, definitely not because he was afraid, but of course, confused. “What do you…want, Sean?” The boy huffed soon when folding his arms across his chest that was leisurely heaving. Right there, Sean threw out a soft yet slightly rumbling chuckle that echoed evilly throughout the room before making a mischievous float in David's ears. “No, David. That question belongs to me! I should be the one to ask you that very question: What do you want?” Sean hissed while his face was being enveloped by a smirk that sent chills all over David's system. “I mean, instead of spending the night with Travis, you're here after you made it clear that you don't want to see me again. Or is it that you miss “us” too much? What? You just can't handle it yourself? The truth does bites but at le
The door opened with a thunderous bang and there was a breathy David whose whole features were covered with tiny, glistening beads of sweat — some lazily flowing down on the nape of his neck. His red cheeks were slowly starting to become pale whilst on the other side, his hands trembled as if they had just come out of ice cold water. With legs that were so numb and unwilling to obey all the orders of his mind, David shuffled towards the first basin that his bloodshot eyes landed upon soon when he threw himself in the bathroom.“No! No! No!” The boy growled and released a cry filled with pity. He cupped water with his quivering hands and without ever thinking, splashed it on his sweating face. Right there, he felt cold air as it was biting into his lungs and in that brief moment, he realised that his breathing was uneven — he could not breathe. His lips quickly became black and blue just when he closed his eyes and the only thing he saw was Sean's tattooed, naked body. “Damn you!” Da
{AFTER AND BEFORE HOURS}“Be careful!” Travis, whose face was pale, aired a rumbling warning through his clenched teeth as he was helping David out of the taxi. David, who could barely stand on his feet, vigorously nodded his head, a shaky smile across his red features. He had almost lost his step but fortunately, Travis held him tight. A hiccup came between his lazy laughter as he was dragged towards a gigantic building. Travis closed his eyes for a brief moment and then shifted his hands from David's shoulder to his tiny waist and gently kept him close to himself. “Is this where you live?” As soon as his eyes landed on a terribly tall and hideous building, Travis released a question through his slightly trembling lips. A frown deepened across his forehead and for obvious reasons, his heart unintentionally missed its rhythm. What a strange sight! Travis’s eyes followed the shadows as they were ominously dancing around, while some shyly hid behind the huge trunks of the trees. The s
BEAT — A heart beats wildly against a shaking wall of ribs and there, air is temporarily cut off. Eyes glisten with innocence as they search for stars into the eyes of another. The world had stopped and there wasn't a single sound but their hearts jingling against their chests. “Look at me…!” He said quietly, his eyebrows trembling. David slowly snaked out of the bed and limped in front of Travis whose chest was heaving with anxiety. His hands were already clenched into fists while he followed every awkward movement that David made and the dangling smile on his face. “Please…don't go, Travis!” David spoke in a whisper soon after placing his hands on Travis's wrists. He took another step closer to Travis and bit his lip while examining his nervous expression. “Will you leave me…Travis?” David asked once again, this time slowly moving his hands on Travis's chest and they stopped to curl around his neck. At that point, Travis's heart had missed a beat or two but that did not seem to b
MEMORIES: BITTER AND SWEET! "Only six years…that's what we agreed on! Six years! Or were they too much for you to handle?" A husky, booming voice that, belonging to Travis reverberated across the spacious room with a query that sent chills to paste themselves onto the figure of a man who was standing five minutes away from him. "You failed to keep your promise…!" Travis blurted with a voice that was cracking up with emotions. He aired the words with great difficulty whilst his dewy eyes carefully watched the face of the man in front of him harden with coldness. "What did I do to receive this kind of treatment from you? Does it not matter how long I waited?" Travis questioned in a brittle voice as soon as he took timid steps towards the man's direction— a man who did not dare to soften his face, rather he put on a face that lacked emotions and warmness. Slowly but surely, the man turned his features, together with his figure away from the saddened Travis that was already weeping.
Who are you? [8 January 2018]Number of days drifted off in just a blink of an eye since the terrible incident that evidently made Travis to welcome a new year with a heart that was sunk by a load of gloomy emotions. After almost two years, he found himself sitting behind a school desk, where a bunch of books were looking at him with nothing but mockery. School— according to him, it was a place that was going to make his life a living hell. He knew that it did not matter how hard he had to rough it in— eventually, he'd have to live a lie and entangle himself to the outside world— which was something he was against. He knew that he had a choice to get up and walk away but his 'cruel' heart had always reminded him, on many occasions, that he had once imprinted a promise into his grandmother's 'weak' heart— a promise he dared not to break. It was the second Monday of 2018 and the morning was not different from the other mornings. Leaning his head on the palm of his hand, Travis's e
[ Five Days After 31 December 2017] —–DAVID CHWE"Your father must have explained the consequences of repeating your silly mistakes, I reckon?" A voice that waved with clamour left a question hanging in the air, leaving echoes of peril to linger across the limo. It was dark inside— the luxurious car was bombarded by smoke from the cigar that was exhaled by an individual who sat in the darkest corner. His deep, life-threatening voice sent immediate shivers that carried electricity, throughout the system of David who flinched at the vibrations of his voice. There— David sat ten seconds away from the unknown individual, where the one bulb was illuminating fear as it caressed his veins. He was visibly shaking like a leaf, his whole body was covered in sweat. The unknown man behind the shadows made a four with his legs shortly after throwing out peals of guffaws that further influenced aghast to envelope itself on David's figure. DAVID— the only thing he'd do was to nod whenever thro
