I Accidentally Hit on my Crush's Brother (BL Series: 01)

Chapter 12

Five months have flown by since Kade began his pursuit of me. In that time, we ventured to different places for our dates, including an amusement park, theater, backyard camp, zoo, aquarium, and many more.

Naghirap talaga siya para maghanap ng mga lugar na pupuntahan namin. Nakita ko pa 'yung notebook niya na may bucket list, may mga pictures at documents na nakadikit at nakaipit pa rito, indicating na he did his research intensively.

Perhaps because it's his first time courting someone, he's putting his best foot forward to make me happy. I can clearly see his efforts. He's like a child who has found a new passion, giving his all to achieve success.

Naikwento niya rin sa akin 'yung tungkol sa mga naging girlfriend niya. I was shocked to know that he actually has twenty plus exes. Sabi ni Kade, nalilito raw siya noon sa sexuality niya. Sa dinami-rami ng taong nakapalibot sa kaniya, hindi man lang siya na-attract ni isa sa kanila. Because of that, he believed he was devoid of emotions, unable to experience attraction towards others.

Gaya ni Kace, marami ring namamangha sa kagwapuhang taglay ni Kade. Mapababae o lalaki man, lahat sila tinatablan ng kilig tuwing nakikita siya sa daan. Naalala ko na gano'n din si Kace noong high school, pati na rin sa college. Talagang magkapatid sila.

Kaya ang ginawa ni Kade, lahat ng naglakas-loob na magconfess sa kaniya, tinanggap niya. He thought that by going on dates with them, he might eventually develop an attraction over time. But he was disappointed every time, which is why no one lasted with him longer than a week.

When he reached a point of frustration, he came to the realization that he likely identified as asexual. Asexual individuals typically experience a lack of sexual attraction to others, which means they may not feel the same urge or desire for sexual relationships that many people do. Instead, they may focus more on emotional, romantic, and platonic connections.

"But it was different with you, Kuya Hiro. Tuwing nakikita kita, natutuwa ako. Tuwing nakakasama kita, gustong-gusto kong makipag-usap at makipagkulitan sa 'yo. Tuwing nakikita kita kasama si Kace, gustong-gusto kita agawin sa kaniya. Simula no'ng bata ako, talagang sa 'yo lang ako nakaramdam ng ganito."

"I still remember my vow with you when we were younger, Kuya Hiro. I'll definitely make you mine."

"Maybe, I was born solely to love you, Kuya Hiro."

Every night, a comforting warmth enveloped me as I replayed his words in my mind. I had never experienced such profound luck before. This was the kind of love I had yearned for, the love I had hoped to share with Kace, believing that if I put in enough effort, he would eventually reciprocate my feelings.

Siyempre, while Kade put in his utmost effort to win me over, I, too, made every attempt to let go of my lingering emotions for Kace. And surprisingly, the fifteen years of yearning for his affection, touch, and acknowledgment came to an end in just five short months. Those years filled with heartaches, struggles, and challenges were replaced by joyful memories thanks to my suitor.

Kade's influence on me was so significant that, gradually yet surely, I found myself falling for him.

Pero bago pa man kami makarating sa exciting part, nagsimula na ang klase nila. Kade is already in his 4th year as a student of BS in Hospitality Management, major in Culinary Entrepreneurship (BSHM-CE). He took it up because it has always been his dream to take over Tito Drei's restaurant.

Since he's already a graduating student, kailangan na niyang mas magfocus nang mabuti sa pag-aaral. He must devote himself more to his passion and immerse himself deeper to cultivate a love for learning. Siyempre, dahil doon, madalas na lang kaming magkita.
