Punish us (R-18)

"What is this about?" Looking at the girls, that are occupying his room with saddened looks on their faces, Nikol questioned while closing the door, as he could guess why they are there.

"Please, Nikol," begged Alva, as the first to speak up. "We deserve to be punished for our mistakes. It's the only way we can make it up to you. We want to go back to our previous relationship,"

Nikol sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I don't want to punish any of you," he said softly.

"I just want us to move forward and put the past behind us, I will try my best to forget what happened,"

"But we can't do that until we're forgiven, we won't be able to regret what we did," interjected Lydia, their voice barely above a whisper. "Please, Nikol, we need this."

Nikol looked at them both, his heart aching with love and hate he felt for them. He knew none of them was at fault, so he realised that he should let go of all his regrets with this.
