The secret laboratory turned quiet after Jack made an unexpected confession. The air seemed to stop moving, and it was suffocating. The particles around them grew denser, and the atmosphere grew tenser.
Three youngsters stared at the tattooed man with various expressions. Kevin gazed blankly at him, Blue looked shocked, and Kris... his expression was hard to be defined. There was a mixed feeling plastered on his handsome face.
"Just ignore him, Kev. He was just talking nonsense. Let's start our project today," Kris finally broke the silence as he patted his lover's shoulder.
Kevin didn't seem to be shocked by the pat, but he didn't turn to Kris either. He was still staring blankly at Jack.
"No, Kris," the scientist finally returned. "Jack was not talking nonsense. He was talking about his feeling." He then slowly turned his head to Kris and continued, "After we finish the injection, you have to talk with Jack privately."
