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

Special Chapter: 01

"I'm home."

Agad akong napatayo mula sa pagkakahiga sa sofa nang marinig ko si Kade. Tumakbo ako papunta sa pintuan at sinalubong siya ng yakap.

"Welcome home, love," bati ko at mas hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap sa kaniya. He leaned his head wearily against my shoulder, letting out a deep sigh. "How's work?" I asked, concerned about his exhaustion.

"Sobrang daming customers ngayon, love. It's a great thing pero nawalan ako ng oras magpahinga. I just want to sleep," he mumbled, his fatigue palpable in his words. Wala na rin siyang lakas para yakapin ako pabalik.

Kade has been putting in an immense amount of effort ever since he took over his father's restaurant. He starts his day at 5 AM and doesn't return home until 11 PM. As the head chef, he's in charge of every aspect of the kitchen. That includes creating menus, keeping an eye on kitchen expenses, and overseeing the kitchen staff. He's taken on so many responsibilities that he's even hiring interns to assist with supervision. His workload is truly overwhelming.

"Kumain ka na ba, love?" He asked, his voice hoarse.

"Hmm," I hummed. Nabaling ang tingin ko sa bitbit-bitbit niyang paper bag na may logo ng restaurant niya. He must have brought me food.

What to do? Busog pa ako. Avery brought me food earlier when she knew I haven't eaten anything yet.

"Kumain na ako pero kaunti lang. Gutom pa nga ako, e. Bakit? Paglulutuhan mo ba ako?" I just said as I caressed his hair. He held my waist closer to tighten our embrace.

"I brought you food po. Sinubukan kong gumawa ng bagong recipe kanina. I want you to be the first one to try it," he attempted to sound enthusiastic, but weariness seeped through in his voice.

I cupped his cheeks and gave him a peck on his forehead. "Thank you, love. For sure masarap iyan. Luto mo, e," I softly mumbled as looked into his eyes. He did so, too.

Ang laki ng eyebags niya. Halatang-halata na rin ang pagod sa mga mata niya. Medyo namumula na rin dahil siguro sa labis na antok.

I brushed my thumbs against his eyes as he closed it to let me be. I gave pecks on each eye and subsequently on the tip of his nose.

Nagulat na lang ako nang biglaang niyang isinandal pabalik ang ulo niya sa balikat ko. I chuckled when I saw how his ears turned red. To tease him, I nibbled on his ear which made him shiver a bit.

I chuckled. "Are you embarrassed? Palagi mo kayang ginagawa 'to sa 'kin."

He slowly nodded. "It's been two years since we've been together, Hiro. Hindi pa rin talaga ako makapaniwala na boyfriend na kita. I never failed to remember how I was mad crazy about you, especially the ups and downs, dramas, and everything we encountered before we entered into this relationship."

Hindi ko na rin mapigilang makaramdam ng hiya at kiliti sa tiyan. Pati rin naman ako, hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan na nagustuhan ko muna ng labing-limang taon 'yung kuya niya bago ko naranasang magkaroon ng masayang buhay kasama si Kade. I will never forget those times I hurt my love because of how complicated my feelings were.

Within these two years of relationship with him? I continued to experience astonishing love, care, and constant happiness.

Sobrang thankful ako na meron akong Kade.

Nakiliti na lang ako nang maramdaman ko ang mainit niyang hininga sa leeg ko. My toes curled when he suddenly surprised me with a series of sweet kisses on my neck. "I missed you."

"Of course, I missed you, too," I answered. I tightly shut my eyes as I fought the urge to get turned on. He's too tired to be doing this with me. However, his kisses went from my neck up to my jaw then to my lips which I parted to give him more access and he gladly entered his tongue to play with mine.
