Weeks have gone by, and Daniel was both too preoccupied and concerned about Tristan's lack of attention to him despite his regular check-ins.

He has been reluctant to message the man because he has been missing Tristan. He could not get any sleep at all since the memory of him confessing was so painful. He has had many restless nights and is both emotionally and physically exhausted. He needed someone, and Tristan is the only one who can truly lift his spirits and make him feel better.

He lost Tristan as a result of his severe rejection, his homophobic bastard nature, and his fear of what other people could say to him. He was reaching the moment where he would stop wanting Tristan.

He felt bad for hurting and rejecting his best friend with such instance and harshness. He simply always keeps an eye on Tristan's Twitter. Images of him with some random guys he thinks he hooked up with.

Claiming himself he's straight. Disgusted at the thought and imagination that he'll be in a relationship with someone who's the same genital as him. It sounds superficial and uncanny, but it is indeed that Daniel is a Homophobic bastard at the same time.

well, not sure.

Randomly, he heard someone's gonna threw a party. Everyone was invited to the party that was scheduled to take place at the home of someone who is unquestionably wealthy.

Since the mansion was big enough, Daniel decided to go to wash all his problems and thoughts and had been living in his head. He then dressed decently. He attended the party which was held in a huge mansion he had entered.

They were dancing, drinking alcohol, some of them making out on the table and everywhere he could walk in through the mansion full of people that he's not familiar with. Not the type of socializing, entertaining, and especially not going through parties like this.

He may not be socializing, but Daniel is definitely indeed famous in his college years for being the only Dean's List in their batch. Daniel is indeed smart, but quite bold at the thought he'll come to the party.

He received an invitation to dance from a random girl who approached him. Since he genuinely didn't want to be impolite to the girl who was having fun, Daniel gladly accepted the invitation. convinced himself that he's also here to have fun by plotting and pinning.

Among the crowd, Daniel danced.

Daniel was persuaded to have a few drinks by those who witnessed him becoming excited and enjoying himself in the crowd, and he enjoyed the attention he was getting. Following his drink intake, the audience becomes excited.

He danced as if nothing and nobody mattered, including the things that have been bothering him.

At the celebration, Tristan was also consuming alcohol. He was merely sipping a few drinks while seated. Because of his strong tolerance to alcohol, he doesn't even bother trying to get wasted quickly. Then he could hardly believe his eyes when he saw Daniel, energizing and hyping the crowd.

Daniel vapes, attends parties, and, worse, makes out with a strange girl. Daniel clearly has an extremely low tolerance to alcohol. Tristan was able to witness his inebriated and careless flirting with an unknown girl. After dropping his cup, Tristan walked fiercely towards them.

Tristan grabbed Daniel's wrist and hauled him away from the crowd, shoving the obviously inebriated female as she staggered on the ground. Daniel was relieved to recognise the boy. Still, he's been experiencing conflicting feelings.

Longing, sadness, anguish, guilt, and fury towards himself.

Daniel shouted out, "T-Tristan," because his words were too hazy and Min was preoccupied with drink, as he normally did.

He's ignored by Tristan. hauling him out into the mansion's tranquil garden. On a bench, the two took seats. Tristan simply stared at him, pained and worried all at once. Daniel mumbled, and Tristan just stared at him.

Daniel began to cry, half closing his eyes and looking down as he said, "t-tristan.. nghh.." Word slurry: "D-Dani is sw-sroryy. I'm s-sowii."

It was cute, in Tristan's opinion. He simply listened to Daniel's inebriated state, using it as an opportunity to get close to him once more. Tristan grinned, wiped a tear from his face, and grinned again.

Daniel gazed at him, wiping the tears from his eyes, "w-wha.. why a-are you cwayingg."

Tristan merely laughs at Daniel's adorable moment as he strokes his face. Indeed, Daniel's unconscious thinking was charming, attractive, and flushed.

Tristan rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm not crying." It had been, goddamned, a long time since they had laid eyes on one another.

Daniel's lips found Tristan's, and he involuntarily leant in closer. Daniel began to slowly regain consciousness and kissed him with all the effort he had left, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Tristan's eyes grew wide. His lips twitching, he stared at Daniel and pushed him right away. He moistened his lips and looked again at Daniel..

Daniel looked aside, discouraged, already in tears.

Daniel screams like a baby and wipes his eyes, saying, "I missed my twistan."

Daniel wiped his tears and sniffled, "I h-hurt him.." His eyes were drowsy and partly closed.

Daniel was ready to close his eyes when Tristan tugged at his hair, saying, "I havewmt.. gwot the c-chance to tell him that i."

Tristan was anxious to see that Daniel's eyes were gradually shutting and that the only thing he could do was grab his sensitive hair. "Tell what?" Tristan asked.

"tell what daniel?"

"that.."

"tell what!?" Tristan impatiently asked.



























"That, i love him back."
