Charles' eyes widened as a deep blush spread across his cheeks. "You're unbelievable," he muttered, averting his gaze.
Augustine chuckled, stepping closer. "What? I'm just being honest," he purred, his voice dripping with amusement.
"You don't have to behave like a pervert while being honest." Charles sneered.
He took a step back from Augustine and properly observed his features.
Augustine stood before him, draped in a milk-colored long sleeve that clung to his frame, paired with fitted brown trousers and a flowing kimono jacket that only added to his effortless allure.
His tousled brown hair, wild and unkempt, framed his tired yet undeniably handsome face.
Dark circles shadowed Augustine's piercing eyes, a testament to sleepless nights and restless thoughts—perhaps of Charles.
Even in Augustine's exhaustion, there was something intoxicatingly rugged about him, something that made Charles' breath hitch.
