Pete POV

"Wow, Arm...your haircut turned out great. Are you wearing lenses?"

The result of Tankhun's treatment was already evident. Without his glasses, and with his new haircut, Arm was attracting so much attention that the floor staff turned their heads to watch him pass by the corridor. Which made Arm quite embarrassed, but happy with himself.

"I'm still getting used to the lenses, Pete...but I think it's okay."

"And to the attention too, huh?" I teased him.

"I told you to trust me!" Tankhun declared proudly. "I'll take care of you tomorrow, Pete. I have more specific plans for you that I want to test." I felt my body tremble. "Now follow me."

Tankhun took us to the room where we usually watch tv series. On the floor was a closed delivery box.

"I ordered some manhwa."

"Manhwa?" asked Arm confused.

"Yes...Korean comic books. These are about BL stories for you to study."

"BL stories?" I asked, not having the slightest idea of what it was.

"...Boys love...romance between men...among other things, you know. Maybe you don't, Arm. And you, Pete, I'm sure everything you learned from Vegas must be twisted in some weird and sick way.

I blushed immediately. Arm was a little stunned by all those books inside the box.

" These are mafia stories. Oh, well...always the same thing. The handsome, powerful and ruthless mafia boss chasing after a cute wife...hmm...my brothers must have read those comics at some point. They are just like this...how depressing...Anyways, I saw in a BL Korean series, "First Love, again", take note, the protagonist learned about it by reading manhwas. It's definitely the most reliable way."

"But we don't even read in Korean, Khun Noo..."

"Just look at the pictures, Arm! It's self-explanatory. Now go...take a mahwa each of you. You'll need to pretend to be hopelessly in love, won't you?"

"Actually, like I said before, I just need to escort Arm during the business meeting..."

"But tomorrow you'll be at a private club. What are you guys going to do? Hold hands?"

"I g-guess..." Arm scratched his head.

"You're the experts on those two guys, not me. But as far as I know, no one is going to buy it."

Arm and I looked at each other. Khun Noo had a point. Gu Wei and Angel were too much explicit about their relationship, mainly because of their jealous temper. We started flipping through the comic books.

"Ow, ow, ow...what the hell is that?" Arm was burning with embarrassment. I widened my eyes.

"Skip those pages...keep going...keep going...then we have to watch some videos too!"
