Chapter 20: Weird Phenomena

Kence blinked his eyes repeatedly. Why does he felt like Calter's words were far too ambiguous in this kind of situation?

Even Rhash was feeling the same thing. In his mind, he already labeled Calter as an 'indecent man. How is the high and mighty Calter say such words in broad daylight?

Sensing that this situation should be stopped as soon as possible, Kence decided to hit Calter's weak spot as he spoke in a cold tone. "Are you sure you want to continue making a scene here?"

This place might be the parking lot but that doesn't mean there aren't any other people aside from them

Even now, Kence can feel several pair of eyes watching this drama to unfold

As expected, Calter's expression turned grim as he too becomes aware of the prying eyes around

"If you don't want your reputation to suffer another blow, leave me alone" Kence continued. In truth, he was really disappointed

Even now, Calter still puts his reputation as his priority. Kence should not be shocked by that anymore nor be disappointed since they already broke up but he still can't stop the unpleasant feelings from sprouting in his heart

Calter entered a dilemma. He doesn't want to make a scene here or more like he can't afford to. He's still suffering from the side effects of his actions back at the Hijin Club and he can't afford to repeat the same mistake

However, Calter also doesn't want to lose the love of his life. It tore his heart into two pieces

As if fate wants to torture Calter, he even got a sudden call. Somehow, Calter felt like this call won't give him good news and is also something he should not ignore

Without a choice, Calter fished out his phone from his pocket and answered the call

Kence can't hear what the person on the other side of the call was saying but he saw Calter's face darkening every second that passed by

After the call ended, Calter stared at Kence with a complicated look on his face

"You are needed in your company, right? Scram now and drown yourself in a sea of ​​paperwork" Kence didn't hear what the caller said but he still can guess some things

After releasing a sigh of helplessness, Calter spoke again. "I'll be away for some time. Please behave yourself and wait for me"

Kence just rolled his eyes as an answer before his bastard of ex-boyfriend stole a kiss on his forehead

Somehow, Kence felt that forehead kiss is even more special than the one done to his lips. It spreads a warm current into his whole system

This damn Calter really knows how to make Kence's heart beats faster!

When Calter was finally gone from Kence's sight, he took repeated deep breaths to calm his nerves. That encounter with his ex somehow felt more tiring compared to when he was working out

In exhaustion, Kence grabbed the plastic that contained foods and gave it to Rhash

"I'm not in the mood for ice cream now. Maybe next time" After saying that, Kence entered his car despite its broken window. He just wants to rest peacefully!

Rhash was left there dumbfounded at the fast pace happening but looking at the contents inside the plastic bag he was holding causes him to grin

"Well, this is not too bad of a deal" Rhash thought in his head and happily whistled as he walks towards his own car

August 20 the Year 2030

More than two months have passed since Kence last saw Calter and he had mixed feelings about it

Kence was glad that he doesn't have the chance to face Calter anymore but he also can't help but be sad

Aside from the rare text messages that Kence receives, he didn't have another contact with Calter

Despite Kence not bothering to send a reply, it still irks him that Calter is not bugging him

Whether it be because of pride or he unconsciously wants Calter to chase him is still unknown

Currently, Kence is just lazing around his bed. His whole body was covered with thick blankets and it made him look like a dumpling

Only Kence's head and one hand were not covered by the blankets. In Kence's hand was a cup of iced chocolate

This was sent directly to his house by Calter. Ever since Calter went on his business trip, Kence regularly receives his favorite drink

At first, Kence doesn't want to accept it but his mother caught him. That woman may be kind but she's also vicious

If she found out that Kence waste food, he would need to run and save his life

Kence took a sip from his drink. In the past, what he likes is the flavor. But now, he felt like he likes the drink's coldness than the flavor itself

In the past months, Kence finally finished the shooting of his movie and he has some idle times now. Well, that is related to his choice of quitting as an actor after his contract expires

As much as possible, Kence doesn't accept any projects anymore. Aside from that, from the past two months, a weird phenomenon has appeared in the world

Without a warning, the weather suddenly becomes unpredictable and even all sorts of natural disasters occurred

It can be as hot as a desert today just for people to endure a freezing cold the next day. It can be sunny at this moment just to rain heavily in the next

Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, cyclones you name it. All of them regularly occurred

The natural disasters that were once rare become almost an everyday occurrence. A lot of properties were lost because of this and if this goes on, the world economy would be affected

Because of the abnormal phenomena, the outside world was not as safe anymore. Thus, even without Kence's decision, the projects that were offered to him became lesser due to the abnormalities in this world that brought panic to some people

Kence even started to think that this was the effect of his time travel. After all, these things never happened in his past life. He can't help but connect it to himself

However, even if Kence somehow returned into the past, it was still hard to believe that this thing happened because of him

Kence is just a perfectly normal human being. How can he affect the world to this extent?

"Breaking news! Another victim was found in Ginshang Street. The victim has large claw marks in his body as if a wild animal killed him"

"The victim's throat was also ripped apart and experts said that it was done through biting"

"As of now, there were already 10 victims of this serial killer. The witnesses all said that it was done by a hairy humanoid monster that let out a wolf-like howl"

"However, since there is no concrete evidence, the experts said that they might only be hallucinating since the chance of a monster doing all the killing is next to impossible"

Kence watched another piece of news. Killings like this ran rampant now since two months ago

The victims were killed in a way that is not possible for normal humans. There were some people that claimed they saw what happened but it was as if they turned crazy as they pointed out monsters as the killers

There might be legends that earth was once a place filled with supernatural beings but only a few people believe that. Since no one has seen any monster or any living creature that can do supernatural things, fewer and fewer people believed in the legends

"Argh, seriously, this world is pretty messed up. Is this really because of me?"

No matter how much Kence denied it, what is happening to the world seems to be pretty related to him

Whether it be the abnormal phenomena or the sightings of monsters, none of them happened in his past life no matter how much he tried to remember them

For those things to suddenly happen without a warning in time after he returned to the past, it was really suspicious

Still, it's not like it was easy to believe that such a huge and world-shaking thing happened all because of Kence. He doesn't even know why and how he was sent back to the past

"Argh damn it. How to clear my mind with these ridiculous thoughts? Shit, what do I even usually do when something is bothering me?"

Kence racks his brain for an answer but instead of helping himself, it just dampened his mood further

When something is disturbing Kence, there are only two things that he always does to clear his mind and those two are something he vowed to never do again

The first one was to simply spend time with Calter. Whether it be on a date or a deep conversation

As for the second one, Kence was even more unwilling to do it. The second one also involves spending time with Calter just in a.... different direction

The first one is a date but the second one involves sex!

Yes sex, undoubtedly one of the best thing to help someone forget whatever troubles they are bottling up inside then
