As I arrived home, I noticed Sebastian was fast asleep. Hastily, I prepared breakfast for both of us and then took a quick shower.
"Sebastian, wake up," I called out from the kitchen as I began serving our meal.
He stumbled out, looking unusually dizzy. "What's wrong, Sebastian?" I asked, concern lacing my voice.
"Wh...Where..." he mumbled, clearly disoriented.
"What do you mean?" I inquired, reaching out to feel his forehead for any signs of fever.
He swatted my hand away and muttered, "Ali..." before collapsing into my lap.
Panicked, I dialed Alizée, Nicholas, and Liam, urging them to come over urgently. I was just about to call a doctor when Sebastian stirred and weakly said, "Call Ali..."
"I've already contacted her, she's on her way," I reassured him, my worry mounting.
Soon, three of them arrived and I swiftly ushered them to Sebastian's room. As we entered, he promptly rose and embraced Alizée. It was evident that she felt uneasy; she didn't reciprocate the hug and appeared insecure, though she refrained from reacting, knowing he was distressed.
"I've missed you, Ali. Where have you been? Please, don't leave me again," he pleaded, holding her tighter, but Alizée grew increasingly uncomfortable.
She quickly disengaged from the hug, forcing a fake smile. "It won't happen again. Now, get some rest. Kai told me you fainted."
"Okay, but stay with me, please," he implored.
"No, you need rest. Just sleep," she insisted, nudging him towards the bed and tucking him in.
"Okay, but give me a kiss first," he bargained, a grin on his face.
"No, Sebastian, just sleep," she replied firmly, then hurried out of the room.
Liam and Nicholas followed her, leaving me with Sebastian. "Did she get angry with me?" he asked.
"No, but she might if you don't rest," I replied with a forced smile.
"Alright, then I'll sleep. Don't let her leave," he remarked.
"Of course," I assured him, then quickly exited his room.
In the living room, I found Liam, Nicholas, and Alizée engaged in what seemed like a serious conversation. I joined them.
"Did he fall asleep?" Liam inquired.
"Yes," I confirmed.
"I'm really sorry about that Alizée. you already know his condition please don't mind, I didn't anticipate he would act that way, and I'm truly sorry if he made you uncomfortable but I'm curious that how he build up feelings for you in just one encounter." I mutter while filling a glass of water.
"No need for apologies, Kai. It's nobody's fault; I understand, so please don't worry. I wasn't bothered by it at all. I'm also intrigued by the situation. During our initial interaction, he mentioned his friend, and I was kind and friendly in return. He even said 'I love you,' but I interpreted it as a friendly gesture. Now I realize I might have misunderstood. Perhaps this misunderstanding contributed to the situation. However, we should definitely take action, although I'm uncertain about what steps to take."
"Oh why didn't you tell me then?" I inquired.
"As I mentioned I interpreted it as a friendly gesture and also I didn't wanted you to worry cause you already had been so much pressurized, that's why I didn't tell you." she replied
Thank you for understanding. Honestly, just your understanding and patience mean a lot," I thank her with a grin, "I think we should tell him directly that you are not into him." I suggested before drinking water.
