what's going on...

Before he can say anything door bell rings ... he went to open the door im am chill sitting on couch while looking at him He looked at the CCTV screen outside the door—

Aven and Jace were there… with some girl.

Panicked, he came running in, grabbed my hand, and pulled me up from the couch.

He said, "You need to hide!"

I started panicking too and asked,

"Where do I hide?"

In a rush, he said,

"Upstairs, room number 3 is mine—go there and don't come out!"

I quickly ran upstairs and shut the door behind me.

I breath slowly calming my self and look around kael's room is too much clean than me I feel im so messy he room was quite refreshing and smelling good that's why kael also smell good . I slowly sat down on his bed and start to analyze his room

Kael's pov ;

I took a deep breath and had just reached for the door when Aven said,

"Does it really take you this long to open a door?"

I replied quickly,

"I was in the room."

I glanced over at Jace—he was already knocked out from whatever he'd taken, fast asleep.

Aven scoffed,

"So what now, you're not even going to let us in?"

Hearing that, I stepped aside silently.

He walked in and threw Jace onto the couch with a sigh.

Then he looked at me and said,

"Get me some water."

I came back with two glasses, handing one to Aven and the other to the girl who came with him.

She smiled at me sweetly—just watching me.

It made me feel... uneasy.

After finishing the water, Aven asked me to help carry Jace to his room.

I nodded and assisted him.

Once we laid Jace down, Aven looked at me and suddenly asked,

"Why are you sweating?"

Without thinking, I blurted out,

"I'm not hiding anything!"

He stared at me in surprise, raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't even ask that," he said.

"So that means… you are hiding something."

I scrambled to cover up and said quickly,

"Oh—no, no, I meant… I was watching a movie! That's why. Got too into it."

He didn't say anything for a second.

And after a while… he finally left.

I let out a sigh of relief and headed upstairs toward my room.

As I opened the door, my eyes instantly searched for Leo—

and there he was, fast asleep on my bed.

I was about to wake him up, but suddenly… I stopped.

I never knew someone could look this peaceful while sleeping.

I couldn't take my eyes off him.

Instead of waking him,

I quietly lay down beside him.

---

Leo and Kael were now sleeping side by side, peacefully—

while somewhere else, Aven was dropping that girl off outside her house.

Before getting out, the girl smiled and said,

"Why don't we date each other?"

Aven chuckled softly and replied,

"No."

She placed her hand on his chest flirtatiously and asked,

"But why not?"

Aven lifted his hand and showed her his finger—

a ring glinted there.

"I'm engaged," he said gently.

"I'm sorry."

And without waiting for a response,

he turned and walked away.

On other hand zim and Jessi is so happy with each other they are laughing giggling

But nova she was sitting silently with her family while here dad ask her ," How's school going ?"

She politely answer while looking down, "as always its good"

Then her grandmother start to scold her , for being to friendly with her friends ,

"ohh nova how ridiculous is your friends"

Then nova snapped back " whatever its no of your business!"

Then her family start to look at her with anger in their eyes , she finish her meal and went to her room .

" Okay"kael said while opening door of his room

Kael's pov ;

After walking her all the way to him house, I came back—

I don't know why, but I was smiling.

There were so many questions in my heart,

but when I looked at the time…

I just drifted off to sleep.

Leo's pov;

After returning from Kael's place, I was clearly in a good mood.

Seeing that, the manager teased me,

"What's going on, Mr. Leo? You look very happy today."

I glared at him and replied with a simple,

"No."

Then went straight upstairs to room and crashed on the bed.

I lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying not to think too much—but Kael's face kept flashing in my mind.

The way he looked at me.

The way he didn't say a word, but still stayed.

The warmth of him sleeping beside me… it was different.

I turned to my side, pulling the blanket over my head, silently cursing myself.

"Get a grip, Leo."

But no matter how many times I told myself that…

my stupid heart just wouldn't listen.

Somewhere between overthinking and smiling like an idiot,

I drifted off to sleep again—

this time, with Kael still living rent-free in my head.

Aven's pov ;

As alway i went to home as I step inside my mom was waiting for me she look at me with anger in her gaze and said ,"Dinner's on the table. Eat it and go to sleep."

While eating i spotted main door opening i saw it was my dad ,he was also late home as always its now reapete same line for him too so now my dad is also eating with nothing can irritate me more than my dad sawing his face boil my blood but I stayed calm for my mom

He ask me while shouting at me ,"Why are you late today ?"

I stayed quiet for a while,

but then mom asked Dad,

"Why are you late today?"

He answered coldly, without even looking at us,

"This isn't anything new. And stop questioning me."

But I knew exactly why he was late.

I had seen him on the way home—

with his new mistress.

My mom knows it too.

She knows this man is cheating on her.

But she chooses to stay silent—

because she won't let anything break this family.

Not even her own pain.

"Let's go to the club room."

Zim nodded in agreement, but Kael hesitated a little.

Without saying much,

Zim walked over, took Kael by the arm,

and led him toward the club room—

right in front of Leo.
