CHAPTER 16

Saotome had known Tokiya inside out given they collaborated in a lot of projects even before the blue head joined his agency. To everybody, their relationship had been like a father and a son but the materialistic Saotome which not all people were familiar with only saw Tokiya as a puppet.

And tonight was the first time for Tokiya to learn about the sordid side of his boss. It was right after he was sexually assaulted by his senior, Kouda Shin who was also the producer of his and Masato's new movie.

The T of STARISH was currently standing in the living room of Saotome's lavish house, facing the founder of Shining Agency. His hair was messy and lost its usual style while his grey shirt which he wore together with an unbuttoned jacket was wrinkled. Yet, the most interesting feature for Saotome was Tokiya's blue eyes which were partly veiled by his long bangs. It was not a usual glower that he would cast when he was about to explode at his co-workers for slacking off on their job nor when Otoya had been too much with his pestering. Rather it was deathly and full of detestation.

Saotome did not have any idea how much Tokiya hankered after stabbing his lips which kept smirking instead of apologizing.

"I know," Saotome initiated nonchalantly. "I know how you're feeling right now. I understand it but I don't think we should settle it here. You don't want my maids to find out those embarrassing things about you, right?"

Listening to the lively voice, Tokiya really wished he could kill his president right now. Lucky for him, his scarce rationality only let him balled his shaky hands into fists. Without words, he trailed after Saotome, heading for the second floor. As he moved, all the pain and repulsion that flew through his body callously reminded him of what happened to him a few hours ago at one fell swoop.

He did hear a lot of rumors that the producer, Kouda Shin was interested in men but he never thought that all this time, the senior who he addressed as Kouda-san would have such feeling towards him.

Tokiya's mind was chock-full of oaths towards his president and Kouda when he was standing opposite of Saotome's office table. The legendary singer was still smiling at the idol which led him to look at anything but the old man. Yet, Tokiya found himself feeling more appalled at the countless trophies around him. One of the trophies that almost made him wanted to spit at was The Best Tycoon of the Year.

He lost his respect for his president more and more.

"You don't have to meet me this soon, you know? You should go back to your dorm first and take a shower."

"Take a shower? For what?" Tokiya asked vacantly, eyes were glued to the floor. It sounded like a stupid question but God knew how he used it to veil how nasty he felt inside.

"I know you're still shocked, Tokiya. It still doesn't feel comfortable, right?" Saotome said as he approached Tokiya who was glued to the spot. "It's normal since it's your first time. Soon, you'll get used to it. But seriously, that guy... I did tell him to make a beginner like you sleep instead of putting a 'rape drug' in your drink."

"So, that means there'll be second, third and so on?" Tokiya asked as he lifted his head. He wanted to yell but his frame was too numb with wrath. "That's why you want me to take a shower as soon as possible. It'll obliterate the sins that you and Kouda-san have committed to me."

"Of course. Do you want your friends to know that you just slept with a man?" Saotome chuckled. This time, his jokes were not only lame but revolting. "When they all believe that you're straight?"
