Chapter 30
CHARLES COULD no longer stop worrying for Angelo when he saw that he was still deep in his thoughts even though they were already inside the club. And he doesn’t seem to be the only one noticing this.
"What did you do last night to Oppa to be like that?" Narae asked as a whisper as he turned to his right.
"Did you go rough on him last night to the point that he's already hesitating about his feelings for you?" Anurak, who was on his left, asked.
He glanced at the two. “Why are you pointing out like it’s my fault that he’s like that?”
Both of them just shrugged before patting his shoulders and shaking their heads. They’re acting like this is my doing! I don’t even know what’s happening with him! Is he still thinking about what they talked about earlier on the plane? Was he still trying to remember everything about him? Charles sighed at those thoughts.
His friends returned to their respective seats. They’re now hanging out on their Lair and his team has already begun with their disguises. Already in their uniforms but Kathleya went down first and left the three men. Of course because Khrysgen, Light, and Dian couldn’t escape Narae’s flowery words.
“Do you have a girlfriend? Or perhaps girlfriends?” Narae joked.
Khrysgen only stared at her like he was waiting for the Q & A session to end quickly without any plans to answer, Light was counting with his fingers like an idi*t, and Dian was curiously looking at her as he asked, “What’s a girlfriend?”
Light suddenly laughed his ass. “D*mn, bro! What kind of question was that?” Then he looked at Narae. “Oh wait! I lost count.”
Narae just laughed and then looked back at Dian. “How old are you?”
“I’m 23. How about you, miss?” Dian politely asked.
“I’m old enough to be yours.” Narae matched her sentence with a flirty smile.
Light cheered for Dian who was just staring at Narae. Charles got in the middle of the three. “That’s a wrong decision, Narae. He's still an innocent,” he teased.
His friend just chuckled and winked at Dian. "Have fun in our club, okay?" she said to the man. Narae didn't even pay attention to what Charles said. When she was fed up with Dian who was unaware of the world that Narae was living in, the lady looked at him and then said goodbye. “I’ll go chat with Anurak, D. Did you know that he’s having a hard time putting anyone to bed?” she informed him while chuckling.
Charles looked at the woman in surprise. "What do you mean?"
"He's searching for the BBB." The line on his forehead deepened. Narae rolled her eyes. “BBB. Bold Birthday Boy.”
Only then did Charles get what she said. "Oh."
“Yeah, oh. Now he can’t ‘ohh ahh’ without BBB. ”
Charles just shook his head at the way the girl spoke. They both said goodbye to each other and he continued his plan to approach the in-dazed Angelo.
In the depths of the young man's thoughts, he did not even notice that he was in front of him. He had to call him thrice just to get him out of his bubble of thoughts.
“Hey… You okay?” he couldn’t help but ask. “You've been like that since we got off the plane. Are you tired? Sleepy? Hungry? What do you want? ”
Angelo stared at him for a long time until he glared at him. "I want to get rid of this." Then he walked past him.
Charles was left confused by what he said. Get rid of what? He searched for what may be Angelo’s talking about, until he stopped at Did he want to get rid of what he feels for me? To get rid of me?
Charles frustratedly messed up his hair. He was not in a good mood all night. Wynter first checked the security of Angelo and their two friends. He was frowning as he climbed up the stairs leading to their penthouse. He didn’t feel like socializing, and his reason for his sudden change of mood was chatting with Anurak.
Annoyed, he dropped his body on the bed and then stared at the ceiling. “He didn’t wanna talk to me a while ago but look at him now! He’s fvcking laughing with Saetang! So what?! He likes him more now?!”
Charles’ blood boiled even more at that thought. He’s well aware of Anurak’s current apple of the eye but he couldn’t help himself but get jealous because of him. He seems to be getting worse while talking — more likely, shouting at himself.
He was still busy arguing with himself when a knock disturbed him. Charles’ glare landed on Wynter who was giving him an annoyed look. “Just tell me and I will reserve you a slot with Dr. Simoune. ”
Charles sighed and once again stared at the ceiling. “What are you doing here?”
"You are being picked up to be taken to a mental facility."
He glared at his friend again. "I'm serious, Wyn."
The lady shook her head and then leaned against the door jamb of his room. "I was in my room, monitoring everything, and then you came just to disturb my peaceful atmosphere." She let out a sigh. "You know the rooms aren't soundproof because of Narae and then you'll be screaming there."
He flatly stared at her. “As if I knew you were up here.” He comfortably laid his back on his bed and closed his eyes. "So that's why you weren't downstairs, I thought you were getting laid."
She scoffed. "How am I supposed to keep everyone safe if I make myself busy in bed?" He shrugged and stayed quiet. He heard his friend sigh before saying, “Hey… If you need anything, I’m in my room, okay? Also, Narae has a new purchase of wine. It's on the second shelf.”
He didn't speak anymore and just waited for his friend to leave his room. When he heard his door closed, he opened his eyes and let out a sigh. He still couldn't help but get annoyed with what was happening to him and Angelo, and because of the overthinking and then adding the non-stop trip since yesterday, he easily fell asleep.
