===================================================================
William notices the way Noah is acting since he came back to the office after sightseeing with James. He keeps on glancing at James as if he has something on him. When William touches his shoulder, he flinches.
"What happened, babe? Is something wrong?" he said side-eyeing James.
"No nothing. It's just...James is twisted. I don't have a good feeling about him." Noah's eyes are still on James who is as carefree as ever.
"Why? Did he do something?" William asks suspiciously. Noah has been uncomfortable with his presence from the very start and now William is suspecting him too.
"He knows everything about..." but stops mid-sentence. William doesn't know! "Nothing! He is just too twisted. You sure he is the same director you like? I mean any ID proof or stuff?"
"Jenny took care of all that. We are certain he is The James Reed."
Noah hums in response. James has been William's idol from the start and he doesn't want to break that bubble of his. He decides to dig in later.
There isn't much about James's life on the web. Nothing about his family or even his schooling. He decided to look up the alumni of their old school. And surprisingly, the photos or information for that particular year aren't there.
"Weird!" David states looking at Noah's computer.
"Weird doesn't even cover it." he moves the screen towards David, "It doesn't show anything before his 20s and that is when he started making movies."
"You think we should talk to William about this?" even David is starting to suspect him.
"No, no need for that. We just have to make it till the first month." Noah says, eyes diverting back to the screen.
David lifts an eyebrow. "How are you so sure?" Noah became flustered and was about to answer when Dylan dashed into their office again, panting.
"I.....found......it......" Dylan says trying to breathe in small breaks.
"Hey hey.....did you run all the way here again?" Noah gets up to make him sit down.
"No, no...tell me where is James? Where is he?" his eyes caught on to the guy who was laughing with Clive. Dylan wastes no time and stomps to him, with a bunch of papers.
He comes really close to his face, practically throwing the papers on his face.
"This is......a.....400 page thesis on King Walter......the prisoner of Castle of Nale...." And then falls on the ground with a thud.

Dylan opens his eyes to be surrounded by Clive and David. He tries to get up but Clive refuses.
"No! You bastard! If you try something like this again, I swear to god, I will kill you!" Clive hugs him, almost choking him.
"Uh....Clive...you choking me...man..." Clive loosens his grip around his neck.
"You should take care of your health. Do you know how much Noah got worried?" David uses a softer tone.
"And all this for some stupid ego game." Logan scoffs.
"Can you guys keep it down? What happened to me?" Dylan asks holding his head. It hurts!
"Low blood pressure. Because you weren't eating or sleeping well for the past 3 days." Noah stands by the door frame, looking really pissed. Dylan gulps and smiles at him a little.
"Sorry Hyung...I promise to take care of myself. Pleaseeeee?" He whines like a small kid which he knows Noah can't resist.
"As long as you are safe," James says with an attitude.
"Wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for you." Dylan reverts back.
"I wasn't the one who told you to make a thesis on King Walter. I just stated a fact which you couldn't digest." The room feels suddenly heated.
William comes in between to pacify them. "Enough is enough! You two are to be locked in here till we look into Dylan's discharge papers. You guys better make up or else I am scraping this whole project." They both raise their hands to object but William shushes them, "No ifs or buts. Come let's go, everyone, except for you James."
Clive gives a thumbs up to both of them. It seems only one of them would come out alive from the room.
"See you made everyone uncomfortable." Dylan looks on the other side after everyone left, except for James of course.
"Why do you always blame it on me for everything that happens to you? Like it or not, I gotta spend time with you locked in this room cause I don't want the project to get scraped." He says a bit irritated.
"It's not like I am jumping from happiness to stay with you. I also don't want the project to get scraped." Dylan scoffs.
"Can you really survive for a month? I mean looking at your stamina...." James looks at him up and down.
"It has nothing to do with my stamina!" he reverts back but then it hits Dylan, "Ew! Why are you talking about my stamina?"
"I was just wondering that you wouldn't be able to handle mine, petal," James smirks suggestively.
Oh, that's what he meant.
Wait what? Did he just?
Did he just flirt in the most sexual way possible?
