"Don't make it too obvious, though. He's a bit sensitive and insensitive at the same time, but protects him if I'm not around. He's very important to me." "Him?" Remo frowned, considering that he didn't really have a good impression of Luke. Luke was like a child who rarely thought of what was coming out of his mouth. If Remo wasn't staying out of trouble, he was certain he would've picked on him just because he was loud. "If you don't want to, just tell me now." Maxen cast him a side-eye. "You might…-

"Your old man. Which hospital is he admitted to right now so I can ask someone to transfer him to a better one," Maxen answered monotonously, and frowned when Remo just looked at him blankly. "Bring out the files of Remo and find out where his grandfather is admitted. Transfer him to a better hospital. If you can, make them prioritize him so he recovers faster." "Of course, we can, sir," replied the person from the other end of the line. "Is that everything you need?" "Mhm. That's all." "Alright." The…

"Did they ask you to bring me to them? How? By tugging my guilty conscience that you spent time in the juvie while was I free? Did they think being out here is better than being inside the prison?" Maxen's expression turned solemn and sharp. He always had this thought since his last conversation with Remo and Maxen could only think of this. They wanted to use Remo since the guy went to prison instead of Maxen. Even though Maxen didn't stab that guy himself, that person died because of him and his…

After what seemed to be infinite bickering, Cosette, Maxen, and Luke finally settled down. It took an hour for them to wash up and have just one bathroom. They took turns, so they feel refreshed before they review. Because of Maxen's strictness, Cosette and Luke miraculously watched their temper until their entire focus shifted to their homework and reviewing. Cosette and Luke were the students who claimed to top the exams and rankings this school year back on their first day. Both were prideful people,…

"Ugh…" While Maxen, Luke, and Cosette were enjoying dinner at the four-seater dining table, they heard a weak grunt from the small living area. Since Luke's apartment was a studio type, their eyes instantly caught Remo moving his body. The three of them chewed slowly, observing Remo from their seat. None of them move as well as if they didn't want to part with their food. The delivery took some time; Cosette's driver arrived minutes earlier to deliver some clothes and uniforms for Maxen and Cosette.…

Just as Maxen wanted, he and Luke carried Remo to Luke's place. Remo was a big guy, so Maxen and Luke had a bit of difficulty. Fortunately, although it didn't look like it, Maxen and Luke were stronger than they appeared. After reaching Luke's place, since Luke had been harrumphing about his sensitivity to people touching his bed, they let Remo rest on the floor. Cosette only laid a thick blanket on the floor where they laid Remo, and then Maxen dressed Remo's injuries. Now the three of them were just…

"Talk shit about her again and I'll shove shit back inside that foul mouth of yours." Sensing the menace from Maxen and Luke, the smile on the rest of the delinquents' faces slowly disappeared. They all stood to their stature, darting their eyes between Maxen and Luke, and to that pretty young lady. The three of them looked good at a glance and even looked better the longer they stared, but none of them dwell on that. What came into their heads was that… good-looking people like them, tend to have weak…

Just when Cosette thought she wouldn't fall asleep, she still did. She even woke up late, as Maxen had to wake her up to sneak back to her room or just go straight to the kitchen to make lunchboxes. It was a good thing everyone wanted to give Maxen privacy. That was why no one was usually around the area of his room. Making lunch boxes had now become a part of Cosette's life that it had become easier now. Even when instead of making three, she now had four lunchboxes. The fourth one was for Luke — even…

Cosette and Maxen played for a while until late in the night. They talked about how their weekends played out and anything they could broach; they would make out in between, of course. Their routine lasted until late in the night and Cosette fell asleep. She was exhausted, so even when she already had napped, she still fell asleep before him. Meanwhile, Maxen was slowly getting used to sleeping later and less because of school and work. He didn't mind, though. He kept her confined in his embrace,…

The next morning, Cosette woke up on Asher's bed, but the guy didn't spend the night in the same room with her, which was so nice of him. Even so, Cosette swore to herself she wouldn't drink ever again; unless she was with Maxen, then that could be as wild as she wanted to be. Since Cosette planned to go to school, she was already up early in the morning. It was good she didn't have any hangover… was what she wanted to tell herself, but when she met up with her gloomy father, she wished she had a…
