DATE STARTED: 05/20/22 DATE ENDED: "If you can't defeat your enemy, bring them into your bed." He can't defeat him, so he just throws him in his bed. He played with fire until he got burned. But those new feelings he had were suffocating and painful, and felt like torture and killing. He doesn't like that, so he runs away. But the more he goes, the more he yearns for him. The more he hides it, the more his heart screams for him. The more he runs away, the more he wants to be chained by him. The book covers are just temporary don't have any plans for gaining profit from it.

"he waka eke noa"/ "we are all in this together." Why spend all this time together and end up apart? Story based on my point of view on how I think the relationships developed/would develop with a less tragic ending. Enjoy!
