"How about, no," He chuckled. "You're such a good treat."

"This isn't funny!" I furiously angered. I froze when Arum stepped in and instantly dropped his things speechless. Awkward. Everything's awkward. Damn awkward. How the fuck do I explain this to him?!

"Hey, dude! How are ya!" Raihen greeted and waved.

'Don't talk as if everything's normal!' Was what I wanted to scream.

"Uhm, I'll just stay in the bedroom and leave you two alone," Arum nervously sweats and pointed towards the bedroom. He picks up his things immediately in panic and leaves our sight.

"Ugh, you pervy bastard," I smack his head but he just laughs it off unfazed.

"Why, thank you!" He smiled.

"Tsk," I picked up my towel then hurriedly stormed off. Ah shit. I have to go pick up some clothes and explain everything to him. I entered the bedroom to get clothes from our wardrobe and see Arum lying on the bed with his phone in hand.

"Oh, done already?" Arum drops his phone and asked.

"Nothing happened. It's not what you think, end of story," I immediately told, that's some explanation Hide. I panicked. That's it. Of course, I did. Nothing like this happened before and I admit I'm embarrassed.

"It's really okay Hide, I won't judge," Arum told. "Honestly, I'm just surprised, I never knew you were capable of sex," He shyly told looking away with a hand behind his neck.

"That's not what happened!" I shouted. Silence beckoned and it just became more awkward.

"Sorry," I immediately apologize. Great, I must have flipped out.

"Whoa there, calm down, it's okay Hide, you're probably just overwhelmed again," Arum jumps out of bed and grabs hold of both of my shoulders to comfort me.

"There's a lot going on your mind again isn't there?" Arum asked out of genuine concern.

"I'm okay. Thanks, I think I just lost my rhythm," I replied nonchalantly with a bitter smile. Things like these barely happen, I think probably stress. It reminds me of when I used to have panic attacks when I used to be a kid. All of these new experiences reminds me of those old days I used to have. I should really try to meditate for dealing with everything at once. Arum has a deeper understanding of my habits and tendencies and I'm kind of grateful he still understands me.

"So... You didn't have sex with him?" Arum curiously asked. I got a little irritated that I gave him a small punch on his shoulders.

"Ow," He rubbed his shoulder lightly.

"No," I immediately replied. Arum breathes in and gives a deep sigh in relief.

"Well, if that's the case then alright," Arum shrugged. He stretches his arms and turned around until he faces me again.

"I'm exhausted," He leans forward and lazily let himself hang on my body with his chin on my shoulder. The gravity was trying to pull me down on his weight.

"I need to put some clothes on, I just took a shower," I told.

"You smell good," Arum alleviates himself from my body and suddenly grabs hold of my face. Both of us were just looking at each other at this point. He looks kind of serious. Then he closes his eyes and kissed me. Afterward he just stares at me, before I could even react, he kisses me again. This time a bit more forceful and passionate.

He held me even closer not an inch apart while holding the back of my head, he kissed deeper and I could feel his tongue gently brushing against mine inside my mouth. I smell him and he smells quite pleasant for a guy who sweats a lot. His pheromones are really strong and it makes me feel a little drowsy but at the same time it smells a little addicting. He won't stop kissing and I'm starting to feel too overwhelmed.

'He isn't drunk' I said in my own head. His lips were soft and it feels like I'm drowning. I was about to lose my breath but he stops at the right moment.

"I'm sorry, please forget I ever did this again," Arum vaguely told. He remembers what happened during the party?

"What?"

"It's nothing," He replied. He innocently scratches his back and smiled. "Don't think about it, I don't know what's gotten into me, so I hope you forgive me," My best friend pats my head and ruffles my hair playfully as a way of comfort, but it wasn't enough.

Arum's phone suddenly rang. His usual video game ring tone changed into some generic pop song I'm unaware of, Yvonne probably has an influence on him.

"Ooh, I wonder who that is. I'll go pick it up," Arum informed as he hurriedly hopped into the bed to pick his phone. Raihen suddenly call me from outside.

"Hide, your phone is ringing!" Raihen yelled.

"I'll be right there!" I shouted back.

Before I could move, I was driven by sudden anxiety when it hit me.

He kissed me.

Does he really have feelings for me? It's impossible.

Why do I feel like they're both hiding something?

There's something I don't understand and I'm really confused. Why?
