Watch me Shine (bl)

27

When Kaia opened his eyes, it was already morning. He was in bed right next to a window wall so the sunlight was brightening to the eyes. He looked around and realised he wasn't in his room. This wasn't his room nor it was Julian's, this room wasn't part of his home so he knew he wasn't in their apartment.

Where was he? Did he went inside a stranger's house? He didn't know. Just when he was panicking the door to the room opened and Akerian came in with milk and some pancakes.

A- you're awake. Here have some breakfast.

Kaia was still in shock and wondered what this guy was doing here. Akerian just smiled and said, "You collapsed last night. Thankfully I was there, you're welcome."

Kaia quickly became embarassed as he remembered what happened. He apologized and said thank you.

Akerian quietly looked at the man on his bed eating the breakfast he made. For some reason he want every morning to be like this. His thoughts goes as far as to have this man living in this house.

There was silence in the room and Kaia was getting uncomfortable as Akerian kept looking at him while he ate.

K- what? Stop staring at me.

A- was i staring?

K- yes you were. You're still doing it now.

A- and why did you assume I was starting at you. I could've been staring outside the window behind you.

Kaia swore this guy will die by his hands one day.

A- if you don't mind would you care to explain about last night?

Kaia gave him a glare.

K- wouldn't YOU know?

A- i don't that's why I'm asking. I like to be in other people's business you see.

K- No.... You're Yui's ex i don't feel like telling you.

A- Does me being his ex have to do with it?

Kaia thought for a while and looked out the window wall. He saw a clear blue sky and by the looks of it this place was somewhere high up. After a while he said, "Maybe not" in a low voice.

A- then tell me! You were so cold to me last night I almost got a heart attack.

K- no i wasn't

A- yes you were! Your eyes were glaring at me like this..

Akerian furrowed his eyesbrows as if to imitate Kaia last night. Upon seeing this Kaia was finally able to relax and laugh a bit. He looked down and started playing with his fingers and said, "Okay I'll tell. "

Kaia held so much in for a long time that he just wanted to let everything out. And he feels comfortable with this man so he thought why the heck not. And so he told him everything from the moment he met Julian to him being replaced by Yui.

A- You're an idiot....

That was the first thing Akerian said after hearing the story.

A- if I were you i would've taken all his money and will be living somewhere right now.

Kaia chuckled a bit. Whenever he's with this guy he's always able to laugh at something.

Then Akerian turned on his serious mode and said, "I'm sorry...."

Kaia didn't know what he was apologizing for.

A-... I'm sorry about what happened with the casting director, i didn't know that Julian invested in the movie separately. I only knew that Yui got a part in the movie but I didn't knew that you got replaced. So I'm sorry.

Now this was something new to Kaia, no one has apologized to him before and right now the one who is apologizing is the innocent man.

K- it's okay... It's not you who's at fault.

The room was silent yet again but it got interrupted by a call. Kaia's phone had been ringing non stop since last night.

Akerian finally got up and gave him his phone. When Kaia opened it, there were 49 missed calls, 4 of them were from Phil and Leila and the rest, well it's from Julian. There were also text messages with the words, "Where are you?" atleast 10 times from him.

And yes the one calling right now was also him. Kaia knew he must've been furious right now and truthfully he didn't wanna deal with it. So he hung up.

*****
On the other end, Julian became more and more gloomy. His secret was out. Kaia knew about the investment and all. And he hasn't been back since last night.

Where is he? Who's he with? What's he doing right now? All these thoughts never left his mind. In the end he ignored Yui all morning and went to work.

Yui was getting anxious now. He knew that things with Julian were not what it used to be. But he needed him, sure he loves him but the power and money that Julian have right now is what he wanted. He needed to tighten his grip on Julian he thought. Otherwise he might be in big trouble again.
