HE'S BACK

"Deal" Kiss said as he extended his arm to hand shake with Scarlett. Scarlett gladly accepted it wearing her professional smile as she withdraw her hand and took out a business card inside her wallet. She handed it over to Kiss then bow down before she take her leave.

Kiss stared at the card for a minute then put it inside his pocket before he decided to pass by to the convenient store he formerly work on to buy his daily necessities before go back to his apartment.

The moment Scarlett is far away distance to Kiss, her phone suddenly ring. He grab her phone in her pocket as she looked at the caller id. 'BOSS' is the word displayed into her screen. She tap the green button as she phone her phone into her ear.

"Yes, Boss?" She asked. She could feel the domineering aura of her boss just by hearing his breathe. The usual Boss she knows never call his employees except if it is an urgent matter.

"How was it? Did he accepted it?" He said in monotone.

"Yes, Boss. He took the card and is willing to join the show. I also already have told him the basic things he need to know. As for the contract, do I still needed to make one?"

"No need. Just make sure he will comply to our requirements. You know what to do"

"Understood, Boss"

The call ended. She smile sinisterly as she continue her pace back to her den.

The man put his phone in the table infront of him as he gently swing the swivel chair. He stare at his computer containing the article of the latest news. At first, when he heard the rumors that Kris living in a secluded apartment where commoners usually live, he couldn't believe himself. He tried to confirm it, but as soon as he did, he was rather surprise. Not just did Kris live in a lowlife environment but as well as he publicly declare his relationship with the young man beside him. Although, he knows that most of the youngsters nowadays is as blind as a snakes, numb and stupid he couldn't possible tell to why Kris choose someone like him. Rather than why it has to be him?

"I never actually thought that it was a man. How foolish I am to believe that you are not a homo" he mumbled.

He press the button beside him as he call out for his assistant. He could vague tell that Kris is supposed to be in his coming of age three months from now.

"I'll make sure to give you the best wedding gift for your soon to be wedding, my beloved" he added.

Conrad was pacing back and forth inside his room. He don't know what to feel. Scared? Nervous? Hate? or Pity? He couldn't feel relax just by thinking of it. Just a moment ago in Kiss' apartment, he and Kris have a heart to heart talk when his phone suddenly ring.

(FLASHBACK)

Conrad's POV

I was facing Kris the whole time as he keep on asking me about Kiss' past. Though, I only have a bit of information about him, it is still cannot be called valid since it is only when we became friends. Me and Kiss have a different status, lifestyle and beliefs. I always think that those wealthy are superior while the poor is just a lowlife slaves. Ever since Kiss save me from my death bed, I always look up on him. He is not as weak as his physical appearance. He is bold, strong willpower and even independent unlike me. I always thought that since he save my life he will grab the opportunity to asked for rewards. But no, everything my father offered him, he politely decline. Saying that he don't need to, he didn't save me for money. He don't even know me at that time that I was a son of a billionaire. He just randomly help me out despite the fact that he is indigent. I was truly thankful. Not just he become my friend, he also become my partner in crime. Just like when I want to scape from the mansion. He would always help me out. He keep on blabbing saying 'this is bad', 'don't do it' even though he is the one who made the scaping plan. Every the time I spent a second with him, I always told myself that I must protect him. I must treasure him. I must appreciate him.

Kris is diligently listening to my story right from the moment that Kiss save my life. I would never actually thought that this bastard infront of me will actually knows how to fall in love. Guess, I don't need to confirm my theory because every since Kiss left, he always keep on blabber Kiss' name. I always thought that he is a Casanova. He loves making troubles. His specialty is to make a woman shed a river of tears. One girlfriend per day. I couldn't blame it to him since he is what every girls' dream. Though sometimes I get jealous, it's not because of his fans but because of the relationship he have with his family. I cannot demand something like that to my parents because I'm only adopted. Even if they provide me every luxury I want, still I felt so empty inside. Like there's a hole that needs to be daub.

"So what is his favorite color? His favorite food? His favorite place? His favorite movie? His favorite song? Favorite band? Do he knows how to sing? Dis you hear him sing? Did he know how to play any musical instruments? Did he---"

Truly, I want to punch this man. Can't he wait? I was still summarizing my story with Kiss and he have the guts to interrupt? He knows how to kill the mood.

"I think I slowly regret meeting Kiss" I said. But seriously, it was only a joke. Ofcourse no one can compared to Kiss even though he sometimes is stubborn.

"Do you want to meet Mr. Kim?" Kris uttered with a hind of threat. I could feel that he's serious this time and that I will really, truly regret it.

"tsk.. I have an idea. Since you want to know everything about Kiss' why don't you hire a private investigator? With that it will answer all your questions" I saw how he rise his brow as he look at he lethally. I just simply shrugged my shoulder as I silently curse him.

'Damn this man' I thought.

Kris sighed deeply as his expression suddenly change.

"I already did but it never satisfy me. It feels like there's something missing and I don't know what it is. I felt like if I don't know I'm going to go crazy" he said in a worried tone. My eyes widen as I saw him looking so down. It's my first time seeing how broken he is that it makes me think how dangerous love could make.

"you're already crazy" I whispered as I added "Anyway, since I have more or less simple information about him, why don't you write all the questions you wanted to know then you give it to Kiss. I'm sure he'll answer it"

"Yeah and I will also make sure you'll going to meet Mr. Kim the next day. You idiot. You know Kiss hated me all his life and I'm still trying to woo him over. He won't even mind if I'm dead"

"What did you do to him anyway to make him hated you fully? Did you stole his girlfriend?"

"He don't have one"

"Did you bully him somewhere?"

"The Meyhem is wide"

"Then how? where? when? why? what?"

"I don't know. I..... don't actually remember.... I don't understand why....he hated me" Kris mumbled.

Sometimes I wonder, how does love really work? Why does it seems that every human being felt love they always have this mixed emotion. Is love supposed to make you feel better or pain? Can love comfort you or abandoned you? Can it heal or tear? I don't know what love really is. Even though, I love my parents, I think there's still a gap between lovers and parents. Parents can accept you despite all the bad things you do but lovers, when love is lost everything is falling apart. Everything is gone. Everything you sacrifices just to maintain that person you cherish will suddenly crashed. Is love worthwhile? Is love really necessary? Can you even find love without letting go of everything?

I stare at Kris the whole time. I just let him release his frustration since, even I, myself don't know how to comfort someone. And just as that, I was about to get close to him trying to cheer him up when my phone suddenly ring.

I grab it inside my pocket and directly answer it without looking at the caller id. What? it's my hobbit. I put the phone into my ear as I say "Who have the guts to disturb my alone time with Kris?"

I was about to end the call when I heard no response coming from the next line when he suddenly spoke " Young master, he is back"
