All Strings Attached

Chapter 16

"Now I understand" Gun replied, a relieved smile on his face. Win turned towards Gun and frowned.

As much as He hated to chat with Gun, he couldn't hold himself back and asked "Understand what?"

"Why Bright is being nice to you" Gun said , leaning back. His posture relaxing.

Win frowned, confused.

"Let me tell you a pretty little secret" Gun said and scooted closer, whispering in Win's ear "Bright will chase you only until he gets you to sleep with him"

Win frown slowly faded away and he felt his heart beating so hard that he was sure Gun could hear it too.

Gun leaned back and smiled at Win, enjoying the look of misery on his face. He continued "You think you are special huh? Bright does it with every guy. Here I was thinking why he was still playing around with you" Gun scoffed, his every coming word numbing Win's ears.

It can't be true. Win furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Gun. There is no way what he is saying is true.

"What do you know about us ? You could be very much wrong. Bright is not like that" Win replied. Although his voice was low but it was steady.

Gun chuckled sarcastically "What do I know about Bright?" He repeated and brought his face closer and put his two fingers on Win's forehead, pushing his head back a little "I've been with him for more than 9 years"

Win just kept frowning. His heart telling him not to believe.

"What do you think will happen in future huh? " Gun asked, his face amused "Can you see yourself standing with Bright? Does he looks like the kind of boy you can introduce to your parents? You fucking idiot"

Win rolled his palm into fists. He felt anger circulating in his veins but what Gun just said made sense.

"Sleep with him and get it over with" Gun spat angrily and stood up, purposely stepping on Win's foot, bringing him out of his thoughts.

Win hissed in pain at the crushing force and held his knee, trying to pull his foot back while looking at Gun, his face looks like he would cry any moment.

Gun let go his foot and scoffed before walking in the direction from where Bright was coming .

"Get up" Bright said looking down at him and Win stood up, his face having a hint of pain as he tapped his foot on ground.

Gun stared at the two and scoffed.

"You okay?" Bright asked, putting his hand on Win's head who nodded nonetheless and they both walked out and sat in Bright's car, driving off to his house.

Win kept quiet the whole ride while Bright glanced at him from time to time.

Soon the car stopped and Win pulled off his seat belt, lost in thoughts and pushed open the door but Bright was quick to lean forward and shut the door back again.

The action brought Win back into the reality and he looked at Bright, confused. Then he looked outside and saw they haven't reached his house yet.

"What happened?" Win asked, confused.

"Thats what I'm going to ask" Bright counter questioned , turning towards him "What did Gun say to you?"

"Nothing" Win was quick to answer, looking down at his hands.

Bright sighed and pulled Win's face towards him and stared at his face, following his every feature attentively.
