"Frye, are you feeling okay? I hope you're not forcing yourself, we can reschedule this anytime. Mom and Dad would understand," Paul suggested, looking at Fyre who looked depressed and seemingly wasn't feeling good. Even with his question just now, it didn't seem like the Omega heard him so Paul repeated himself but this time gently holding Fyre's arm. Today he had a lot of plans ahead but if the person he wanted to surprise wasn't feeling good then he would have no choice but to move the schedule. He made some preparations after contemplating it for days before finally deciding what he would do and until then he had been waiting for this day to come but in the end, Fyre's well-being was still his top priority.

"What? Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking of something else but I'm good," Fyre replied with a faint smile. Paul looked at him worriedly before he too smiled faintly brushing the top of Fyre's head. He didn't know when it started but right now, he really liked Fyre. Not as a friend but someone he could spend the rest of his life with. Never in his wildest dream that he thought that feelings like this would suddenly bloom. Fyre was his friend. He never saw him romantically until just recently. It was all too sudden because he thought he wouldn't be able to feel this way towards someone again after Daniella. He was unsure and thought of it for days. He also thought that maybe it was just because he wasn't used to Fyre's changes but he knew that if he let this be, he would forever regret it.

So tonight, he toughened himself and planned to pursue the Omega. Deep inside it didn't feel wrong and he had never been so sure for a long time now. It's been a while since he felt something like this... it's like... it felt so right. He wasn't sure if Fyre felt the same way as him but he was willing to risk his heart because he knew Fyre was someone he could trust not to lead him on. Even if he ended up being rejected by the Omega, Paul would be willing to take the risk. Furthermore, his parents agreed to it and are now strongly supporting him.

"Okay, but if you're not feeling good please tell me immediately. I'll send you home as soon as possible," Paul said dotingly, to which Fyre simply replied with a soft smile as they walked inside the Hymlyn residence. Fyre tried to focus his mind on what was in front of him but he couldn't, his mind kept drifting towards a certain someone wondering what he might be doing at the moment. They separated on bad terms and he couldn't help but think about his own actions and what could he have done so it didn't end like that. Questions crowded his thoughts and the more these questions pop inside his head, the more he was feeling guilty.

The more he was blaming himself.

Maybe he was being too much? Were his words too harsh? Did he let his emotions get to him again? Should he have been more understanding even though he was hurt? Fyre tried to control himself but he also didn't want to lose himself in the process. He wanted to change for Tian Zi—not because the Alpha wanted to—but he also wanted to make sure that he didn't give all of himself to because he knew that if his heart broke... he would never be able to pick himself up again.

"Fyre, was the taste not to your liking?" Mrs. Hymlyn asked worriedly. She wanted to make something for Fyre during lunch so she made the only thing she could make but it has been a while since she cooked pasta alfredo so she wasn't sure if the taste was good or not. She tasted it before serving and also had her husband approved but his husband could be lying to her(?)

"Honey, you didn't lie to me about the pasta, right?" Ms. Hymlyn asked her husband and the Alpha quickly denied it.

"No Dear, it tastes good to me. I would never lie about this and embarrass you in front of your son's friend. And didn't I tell you long ago you make the best pasta alfredo? You're still the best, Dear," Mr. Hymlyn said but, of course, his taste preference could be the complete opposite to the Omega. Definitely, he would never lie about his wife's only recipe.
