Chapter 14

I am just a foolish boy who is holding tight on to a beautiful bubble in the wake of a regretful future

"Ren! What nonsense in the hell are you talking about? Taking a break for an year?? You are so close to getting selected for nationals what came into you?"

"Coach, please listen to me, I need this time. I promise I will be back in an year and will make into the nationals no matter what."

"This isn't you, is this my stupid son's idea?" Coach raised a brow.

"Ake has nothing to do with this. Because of some personal reasons I need to take this time off" Yoren pleaded.

"Is grandma alright?"

"She is doing fine, this is for some other reason"

"Look Ren, I am not in a position to stop you from doing what you want but let me tell you as a coach, one year off training and off the field means basically a deadend of your sports career.Your peers get improved by leaps in this time. It is not as easy as you think to catch up to them."

Eversince Yoren had a sense of the world the only thing he knew was ice skating. The cold bone piercing ice is the warmest place he's ever know. The place where he can be himself. But now the time has come to be himself again.

Yoren has finished filming all his parts for DOB. Haar and the other crew has a couple of months worth of filming left.

After the talk with Ake, Yoren decided to start his off ice training in these months. At first he wanted to tell Haar his decision to go back to iceskating. But after his conversation with Haar last night he didn't want to make Haar anxious about future. He didn't want Haar to feel he is the only one with no direction ahead. Also his return to ice skating suddenly will only raise many questions in Haar's mind which Yoren is not prepared to answer yet.

He said Haar that he will be helping Ake with his training temporarily and wanted to tell Haar the truth when the time is right. Like that a couple of months has passed already.

Haar missed Yoren these two months day and night like crazy. But he didn't want to disturb Yoren and Ake as he knew Ake's rocky relationship with his father. So he can only rely on Yoren.

In a blink of an eye it's DOB's pre release promotional event. Tiera and the male lead went up first to talk to the reporters along with Director Well, Haar and Yoren to join in later.

There is no sign of Yoren near the venue yet. Haar is in the makeup room all by himself. He opened a folder with a red heart icon on his phone. A small smile appeared on his face looking at the picture of Haar falling on his bum in the ice skating rink as Yoren is helping him. Then he moved to another album of Yoren's pictures playing with Games.

A knock on his door abruptly ended his journey down the memory lane.

He opened the door slightly peeking who could it be and the person on the other side just pushed the door with a force and swiftly closed it behind him.

"Yoren..." Haar's eyes were twinkling that no stars can be compared to it.

Yoren pushed Haar to the wall with a force and pinned Haar's hand over his head and aggressively locked his lips with him. He didn't stop until Haar's lips swollen double in size and their breaths became unbearably loud and rapid.

"Yoren ..." Haar left a moan. "The shirt the shirt.." he wanted to say something but in the ecstacy he couldn't process what he wanted to say.

Yoren started to unbutton Haar's shirt with such a force that Haar is afraid he will tear apart the shirt yet he couldn't resist Yoren's hands invading his smooth torso.

Finally Haar could able to make his head clear and stopped with his hands on Yoren's chest. "Yoren, the shirt is sponsored item for the event".

Yoren composed himself and leaned back a little with his warm gaze fixed on to Haar he said "I missed you alot".

Haar's lips quivered and suddenly he felt a wetness overtaking his dry eyes due to makeup. He is fighting with the tears not to let them escape the eyes. He cannot ruin his makeup, there is no time to touch up, they need to go up in a few minutes.

These two months, Haar sometimes sent messages, voice texts and short videos to Yoren but he gets a reaction sometime, sometime not at all.

Haar knew how demanding it is to train from Ake's words so he didn't press for a long interaction with Yoren these days. Haar knows all of this yet he always felt a little insecure that maybe Yoren has forgotten him maybe he doesn't miss him at all, maybe Yoren doesn't like him as much he likes him. But today the way Yoren behaved cleared all his doubts.

Haar is usually the level headed person but today he is anything but level headed after seeing Yoren after two months. He couldn't control himself anymore as he missed his lover so much. He locked his lips with Yoren once more passionately.
