Chapter 64: Only When You’re Ready

Kai’s P.O.V

We were still hosting the housewarming party as we had planned, despite the underlying tension between Night and I.

It all started right after the pool date that night and now, I can see that he seemed stiff whenever I talked to him or when he looked at me. I guess Night hadn't really expected that I would hide my sexual orientation from my parents or the fact that I was dating a guy.

In all honestly, I thought he would understand the fear most since he too had to deal with biases from his own parents for a decade. But sometimes, I guess love makes us irrational.

However, despite the glaring rift between us, I insisted that we pushed through with the housewarming party. After all our preparations, I wouldn’t let a little bit of strain get in the way of it.

Our friends had been dying to see the new place and it was a great opportunity to unwind and spend quality time with our friends, something we hadn't been able to do a lot recently.
