Watch me Shine (bl)

53

It was just another day when once again one of the two brothers came into the shop. By now Kaia gave up trying to make them leave, he just treated them like customers now. This time it's the blonde one. The one Kaia didn't like to see. And once again he picked out some bakes and gave them to Kaia for packaging.

K - That will be 60.

J - Hm.

And once again this guy would give Kaia more money than the actual amount. It's useless to convince him to take the change so in the end Kaia just started to take it afterall it's profit right?

J - This Sunday if yo-.........

Kaia cut him off, "Busy."

Julian shut up once again. Everytime he wanted to ask him out Kaia turned him down.

There was silence and only the sound of Kaia wrapping up fills the room. It's afternoon so there aren't a lot of customers. Only the two of them were here. The sound of Julian's phone vibrating caught them off guard.

When he saw who it was, his face frowned and hang up. But the other person kept calling. Kaia couldn't help but peek to his phone and turns out it was Yui. Typical he thought.

K - Here.

Kaia gave the package to Julian but the latter seems to not leave yet. And the phone just kept on vibrating.

K - Go pick it up it's noisy.

Once Julian heard that this was troubling Kaia he immediately went outside and picked it up.

J - what?

Yui - Where are you?!

He yelled angrily.

J - why?

Yui - Why?! Why?! It's been more than a week! And you're not home yet!

J - You're still there? Yui i asked that you leave soon.

Yui - No! You want to break up with me?

J - i thought it was clear. From the beginning you were supposed to live there only until you find your own place that was the deal.

Yui - No! You were the one who said I should stay with you forever you love me!

This wasn't a lie. Julian did say these words to him when they reunited. He turned his head towards the baker inside and saw the way he was happily bringing out freshly baked muffins. Julian's eyes never left and he calmed down.

J - Things changed.

Yui - i don't want to.

Yui said finally calming down. He started crying saying he wants Julian to come back.

Julian felt like this was his fault. Maybe he's the one who is to blame. What Yui had become it was all his fault. What Kaia went through it was his too. He still kept his eyes on Kaia while he hears Yui's cries.

J - Keep the apartment. I'll find my own place. Bye.

He didn't know what to do. He felt lost and alone. He thought everything would be okay as long as he has money but in the end everything was falling apart. Kaia doesn't wanna see him, Yui did all those things for him, in the end he just wanted to cry.

He wanted to cry more about the fact that he wasted 8 years of Kaia's life. The opportunity that he took from him, the help he got which the latter never got repayed. Even now Kaia doesn't ask him for anything. Not a single penny was spent on himself even when Julian gave him his card.

If he could he would've never gotten rich and just stayed with Kaia and helped him with the shop for the rest of his life but in the that was just his wish.

***********
Kaia was watching TV at his home. Recently he was able to purchase one and put some cables.

He was binge watching some shows when a commercial came up. It was for a men's face cream and the advertise was done by Yui.

The man in the commercial was a beauty, pure white skin and a boyish yet feminine charm. Right now he was getting more brand deals and you could see him in every billboards. He even got a reward for best rookie actor of the year for some new roles he played alongside famous actors and directors.

Kaia's mood took a turn when he saw him. So he shut off the TV. For a while he was deep in thoughts until finally he picked up the phone and call someone.

K - Hey is that offer still there? I wanna do it.

The man on the other side was beaming with happiness. Of course he said.
