The Duality

"Let's go watch a movie. I have two tickets. I'm picking you up now! Get ready, we're having a date today!"

"Uwaaa, uwaa ureshi, Dhimas-kun~~~," Aiden replied with exaggerated enthusiasm.

"Keep teasing me, and I'll ravish you!"

"Yameteeee!"

Aiden always presented a masculine style when going out, donning jeans and an attractive black shirt. Dhimas couldn't help but smile at Aiden's striking appearance.

Aiden tried his hardest to hide his creative and feminine side from his strict family. Whenever he returned home, he had to conform to the family's expectations—playing the role of a masculine male who adhered to rules and was oriented toward a military career.

In the group, Aiden felt free to fully express himself. His love for art and beauty was an escape and a form of liberation from the pressures of his family.
