Singto is not feeling well, it's not because of his lost bracelet but cause of the firing gaze on him. He is uncomfortable by the stare of a strange man who is reading him with pointed eyes, it should be on Alex not on him so he gets confused. 

He squirmed and plotted a plan to escape the place. Before he uttered a word, a question was raised towards him.

"What you do?"

Singto stiffened for a moment since the voice brought back a pleasant memory which he should have forgotten.

He swallowed and blamed his dirty mind for thinking of his sexual night. He composed himself before replying, "I am in the art department."

"He owns a studio.." Alex proudly announced.

"You never mentioned about your son's marriage?" Krist's mother questioned after recalling her memory.

"when it comes to Singto my mom becomes a crazy one!! They have not yet married Auntie, they are only engaged but my mom does not understand the difference!" Alex answered with a mocking look at her mother who scoffed at her with a look of shut your mouth.

"Singto was my husband's relative son, after he lost his parents we took his guardianship..."

"After his graduation, we asked him to live here, and one leads to another," she started sharing the story with a happy face.

Krist released a glad sigh before continuing his stare which started to infuriate Singto who tried to show his uneasiness through his look but nothing worked out.

"I want to use the restroom," Krist announced making Alex stand from her place to lead the way but Singto stopped her before leading him towards a guest room located behind the kitchen.

Once they came inside Singto slightly closed the door without locking it, he stood frustrated with crossed arms.

"Excuse me... do we know each other?"

"...." Krist didn't answer, instead he gazed at him again with his dark orbs.

"Or do I resemble anyone you knew?"

"..." another silence.

"For god's sake stop eyeing me!" Singto raised his voice losing his cool.

"Why the hell Mom choose this rascal for Alex!" Singto murmured before turning his heels to move out of the room.

"Beautiful..."

"Huh?"

"You look enticing....," Krist used his husky voice to declare his statement before taking a step closer to the dumbfounded Singto.

"...and cute too..."

Singto went red instantly cause he could feel the sincerity in that compliment. But after his mind yelled at him to not lose his sanity like last night he composed himself and sneered at the latter.

"How in the world mom found this perverted man!" Singto stomped his feet on the ground after not being able to resist the heated gaze on him.

He turned around to leave the room but stood in his place with a short of breath.

"Pervert? Thanks to my last night partner my mind is still in dirty mode..."

Singto couldn't believe the audacity of the person who was blunt about personal things.

"If you dare to accept this proposal I will kill you myself! You don't deserve Ale-..."

"Paradise club!"

Singto's legs went numb, the words which stopped his threat from completing were clear and resounded in the empty room.

Soon Singto found Krist invading his private space with a blank expression and studying eyes.

A hot breath passed near his ears before entering it, "Krist... I am Krist.."

Singto froze for a whole minute not believing his fate, he should have guessed that his one mistake would never go unnoticed by God.

Now he is going to face the consequences, he shuddered inside and planned to play dumb hoping a little for an escape after all, last night the latter didn't see his face thou..

He jerked away from Krist before giving his best threat glare.

"You are crossing.... y-your limit.."

"Didn't we already?" Krist asked with a smirk.

"Bastard!" Singto cursed and jogged outside without sparring a glance.

His heart is beating fast in fear of getting caught. What if the latter confesses about him to everyone? He won't let that happen! He has to send the latter out of the house before he even spills the tea.

He needs to find a reason and it's difficult to approach Alex's mother so he walks back to his place and excuses himself after gesturing for Alex to follow him with his eyes.

Alex excused herself saying she needed to make a call. She found Singto who was pacing in front of her room.

"What's the matter, Singto?" Alex asked in confusion since the latter wouldn't force her presence if it was not an urgent matter.

She wonders if it is related to work, it's been a year since she joined Singto's studio as an art director. It was difficult at first but with Singto's and his friend Wad's help she learned and now doing beyond great.

"It's not about work Alex.... actually... actually.."

Seeing Singto hesitating with sweats and a timid look she went alerted and concerned.

"Can you reject Kris-... this man?" Singto cursed himself for saying Krist's name easily as he knew him well. Maybe it's because he was screaming the latter name almost all the time he spent with him last night.

He shakes his head to remove the dirty thoughts.

She furrows in confusion while crossing her arms.

"I... I... He is not a good man... I ... don't know him... but one of my friends-... client had experience with him... he is a bad-.."

"Singto, you doesn't need to reason with me since I trust your judgment, apart from being friends I know you care for me as a family too... so it's alright if you say he is bad then he is, I am just thinking for words to reject him!"

Singto feels his heart clenching in guilt, and he feels an immense shame. His eyes welled up but he concealed them by hugging her.

She pats him and walks away before her mother look for her. Singto stood in the place for a few minutes with choking guilt.

When he turned around to go to his room, a hand grabbed his wrist and made him slam on the firm chest.

"What the he-..?" Singto's voice was muffled by Krist's palm on his mouth.

Krist moves his palm back after sensing the tremor from the weak body. He released the latter and took a step back.

"So bad man?" Krist asked with an accusing look which made Singto squirm in the guilt pool.

"Is it because I offered to drop you? Or wanted to care for you?" Krist asked in a raged voice.

"I....d-don't understand you.... stop your riddle..." Singto couldn't stop his dread and timid. Every second passing with Krist is sad and dangerous for Singto so he tries to escape through his lies.

"Will this make you understand?" Krist asked while showing Singto's bracelet which he had taken from his purse.

Singto quickly moved towards it but Krist kept it back in the purse and pocketed it.

"Give it to me... that's mine!!" Singto wailed before trying to take the purse from Krist's pocket.

"You are cute..." Krist whispered at Singto's face after leaning forward.

The goosebumps spread along Singto's skin, the latter backed away with reddened skin.

"I am... a-m not who you think.." Singto mumbled before backing more and making himself slam on the wall.

"Hmm.." Krist hummed and followed Singto to corner him at the wall. Krist didn't expect to meet the person he had sex with last night after all it's a one-in-a-million chance.

Singto gulped and averted his eyes with a curse inside his mind for being unlucky. It was his first cheating and he got caught just how unlucky he is.

His eyes caught the veiny strong arms which is blocking his path gracefully. A glimpse of this arms holding his hips pass through his mind. He gleamed and shook his head to get rid of the images.

"Don't.." Krist's famous deep voice echoed in Singto's ears because of the closeness.

Singto's brown orbs turned to Krist whose hands slowly touched the silky hair before stroking it, the homely feelings which Singto had last night flew through his cells and made him crave for it more.

Krist slammed his head on Singto's shoulders startling the latter.

"Don't...... just don't..."

"I didn't do anything.... leave me..." Singto twitched in his weak voice, he already messed up his life by committing an unforgivable sin, and he didn't want to extend his list.

However, Krist didn't instead he nuzzled his head at the broad shoulders.

"My heart ..... should hate you.... disgust you.... but... it doesn't... it is delighted to meet you... seeking your scent.." Krist whispered wondering how the hell his heart fell for a person in one twilight, even after knowing he was reserved for someone else.

Singto should've pushed the latter and scoot away but he didn't because the words nicely penetrating his heart.

It's been so long since Singto felt the butterflies in his tummy so he decided to be selfish one last time and enjoy it even though it was such a crazy move.

"I thought our night would pass away but you are making it ..... hard by appearing in front of me.... being vicious...." Krist clenched his fist in madness while speaking his words.

"I .... still find your closeness calming...."

Singto bites inside of his cheeks to keep his lips from curving into bliss.

"Why? Why were you.... there....? Why did you cheat?" Krist questioned taking back his head to gaze at Singto who went pale over the question which brought him to reality from his fairy bubble.

He hangs his head down and tries to wiggle out of the place. Krist held him tight.

"I am guessing... either you don't like your fiancé or he didn't satisfy you...." Krist let out his thoughts while started stroking Singto's bangs.

"...."

Silence... that's what Singto wanted, he wants to be alone since he feels beyond disgraced to stand in front of Krist even though the latter is a stranger in his life.

"Wait! I missed one more option... maybe you are just a bad boy?" Krist raised this option to tease Singto but when a soft nod happened on the other side he went blank in shock.

"I... I..... my fiancé is a good man... he takes care of me well..." Singto's voice shook in guilt, his hands tangled with a head low position.

"I... am sorry... please...... don't say about this to anyone..." Singto begged with a barely audible voice.

"Hold your head high...," Krist made Singto lift his head with his hard command.

"Do you feel apologetic?"

"Yes...." Singto whispered averting his eyes to the side.

"Liar!! Maybe I should bring this topic before Ale-..."

"No!!!! please... don't involve them.." Singto raised his voice in panic.

"What the fuck do you want from me?"

"Truth.... why did you cheat?"

"Why do you need to know?"

"Do you love your fiancé?"

Singto took a minute of silence before answering staring Krist eyes straight.

"Yes..."

"Lie..... what a perfect liar..," Krist heart skipped a beat after sensing the lie.

Krist once again found the delicate neck of Singto before snuggling at it. Losing his control Krist pulled the t-shirt side with his mouth before biting the shoulder strong and painful.

"Uhmm...." Singto roared inside in pain closing his mouth right. This should not happen he is repeating his mistake which should be ashamed.

"Krist!" Singto shrieked in anger.

"Let's meet outside-..."

"I won't... what is your problem? Why do we have to meet outside? After all, you are no less than me! You came to see Alex after having se-... I mean a night... with me!"

"I am not reserved to Alex... I just came to see if we are compatible and guess what?!" Krist closed the gap to breathe at Singto's face.

"I got my answer" Krist bumped his nose at Singto's who went dumbfounded with a fast heartbeat.

"W-what are you blabbering...?" Singto asked while his mind screamed at him to run far away from the wicked man who resembled a kitten.

"I want to know you," Krist declares in a certain tone.

"For what?"

"To see if you are my destiny?"

"Even after knowing what I am? I may cheat you too," Singto sighed averting his eyes from the dark one.

"That's my worry... moreover..." Krist lips brushed against Singto's before whispering with a wink.

"I love taming... it's my kink," Krist heart skipped a beat at the adorable sight of Singto whose tanned skin is red with a shiver.

Singto gathered his strength and jolted away from Krist's hold. He spirits off to his room and locked the door.

He went to his dressing room and changed his attire to walk out of the house through the back gate.

He held himself from showing his emotions till he reached his studio.

"Hey Singto! I thought today you won't show up?" Wad peeps to the Person who ignores him and stomps to his cabin.

Wad followed him quickly after messaging Aim and Oak who were also working in the studio in the colour department. It's a two-storey building where the first floor has a colour and art department while the rest are together.

The first thing Singto does after entering his cabin is hurt himself with a punch on the wall. It was so hard that his hands started to bleed.

Fortunately, Wad stopped him with his back hug. Soon Oak and Aim also joined and hushed him down with their white voices.

"Spill the beans before I call Ale-.." Aim shouted startling his friends.

"He came..."

"Who?" Wad questioned

"...."

"Sam?" Aim asked after a silence.

"Did he find out?" Oak asked in his enthusiastic tone.

"Idiot!" Wad slapped Oak's arms for being happy at his friends' grief.

"What?! After all, That's what Singto wants," Oak shrugged his shoulders with a playful smile and earned a two-slap from his friends.

"N-no..." a soft trembling voice.

"Singt-.."

"The man who I had sex with last night...."

"What the fuck?"

"How does he know you?"

"Stupid Wad! It's all because of you-.."

"Mom selected him for Alex.. he came with his family to see Alex...."

"Still how did he find you?"

"My.... my bracelet.."

Singto returned back home in early evening through the front gate and went perplexed by Krist's presence in the living room.

He was shaken in his place and took a step back.

"Hey glamorous baby"

Singto quickly turned his head right and left with panicked eyes.

"Why are you still here?"

"I am waiting for you.." Krist winks at the opposite party whose legs went numb in fear

"Did you... you... told th-..."

"Singto!!" Alex spirited to him with a call.

The said latter lost his colour seeing Alex's upset face.

"How many times do I have to call you? Why didn't you pick it up? Mom slipped in the kitchen gladly Krist was there, he took us to the hospital and helped us," Alex briefs the happening while slapping his arms.

"Mom!! How is she? Where is she now?"

"Relax Sing... she is better and in her room-.. hey! Where are you running!" Alex shouted while following Singto who marched to the lady's room.

"I am sorry Mom!"

"Enough dear... stop it! You are not to blame... I am alright.." she caressed Singto's cheeks while patting his arms.

Krist watched the scene unfolding in front of him. The way Singto interacts with them and keeps his emotions on his sleeves Proves that Singto truly cares about them.

His affection is not fake it's genuine and it's vice versa. Both Alex and his mother gaze at Singto with sincere family love so this increases hope to Krist that Singto might not be a complete bad boy.

Krist was having fun while gazing at Singto who was fidgeting in his place with sweats.

"If you want a kiss don't hesitate... just do it ho-.."

Singto quickly closed Krist's mouth with his palm while checking his surroundings.

They both were in the balcony area of the living hall. They sat on the three-seated couches with needed distance.

After Singto apologised to Alex for neglecting the calls she convinced him that it was not a problem and she was not mad.

She suggested for him to take air since he looked panicked over her mother's health.

She also sends Krist with him cause she has to help her mother fresh up.

Krist did a happy jump inside his heart and followed Singto who looked paler than before.

"What the hell is wrong with you? When did I say I want to kiss you?" Singto sneered keeping his voice low and cold.

Krist peeks his tongue and licked the palm with a wink which makes Singto jolted in his place and backs away with a puppy glare.

"Cute," Krist complimented with a laugh.

"Bastard!" Singto cursed even though he felt shy by the word.

A few seconds after silence starts to spread between them. A complete silence, both gazed at the garden view fighting with their own thoughts.

"I.... want to... clarify few things... with you..," Singto started after gathering his emotions and courage.

Krist turned to him without words showing through his actions that he was ready to listen.

"Sam is a good man.... he gives me everything and always takes care of me by heart, he may be hot headed but he has never shown that to me, he always sweet talk to me and comforts me when I am sad, he surprises me a lot and take me to all the beautiful places," Singto told with a smile.

Before he continued further Krist stopped him by his questions, "Do you love him?" This is the question which is paramount for Krist so he waited for the answer with an anxious heart.

Singto didn't answer he just looked straight with a blank emotion.

"You said he gives you things but will he give whatever you like?"

"You said he surprise you a lot, are you fond of that?"

"You said he comforts you when you are sad, did he ask you why you are sad?"

"You said he takes you to beautiful places but are you willing to visit the places with him?"

"You said...-..."

Krist was cut by Singto's palm once again. The latter shakes his head vigorously before speaking his heart out.

"That doesn't matter, I like him.... and he deserved to be happy, and he told me I am his happiness so I can't leave him."

Krist shoved the palm away from his mouth, "So you plan to stay with him and cheat every day?"

Singto hangs his head in a huge humiliation.

"I won't....." Singto answered and felt bad since he had already become a cheater and betrayed his fiancé further by having a private conversation with Krist.

His eyes pooled at the situation, he didn't know why he went out last night, he felt a pull to do a dare and he did, he was so sure it was nothing but his illusion.

However, after seeing his attraction towards Krist he feels it's a destiny even so what is the use now? He had already chosen his fate so there should be no lingering feelings.

He sobs crossing his arms on his joined knees and releases more silent tears. Krist stood from his place and glanced around to check if anyone was watching them.

When he found no one he smooched Singto's forehead and walked away. He spirited to Alex's mother where the two ladies took a rest.

He excused himself saying he was pleased to meet them. Soon he got inside his car and shortly reached his home.

His mother and father who were having their talk about Alex's family went excited and pulled Krist to sit by them.

They asked him about the happening before flooding him with questions regarding his decision over his marriage with Alex.

"Krist don't keep quiet! If you are confused no problem I can arrange you few dates with Alex!"

"...."

"Alex appears decent girl so what do you think about your mother's suggestion Krist?"

"..."

Krist's father was bothered by his son's unreadable emotions. Did anything happen after they returned? His concern is raised when his wife starts to pressure his son who may burst out anytime soon.

"Enough Ria! At the end it should be Krist who sh-..."

Krist father was cut off by his son's words which shocked him.

"I am fine with your idea Mom"

Krist mother squealed in her seat and shook her husband's arms in happiness. However, it went into a dark pit when she heard the next words.

"But not with Alex! I want a date with Singto, Alex's soon-to-be brother-in-law!" Krist let out his wish with a smirk after thousands of thoughts. The mother figure went pale while the father figure went out of oxygen.

"Mom stop!!!!!" Krist screamed and ran around the living room avoiding the things aiming at him.

"Mom please I will die!!" Krist yelled when a table weight aimed at his head.

"Tell me I didn't give birth to this demon!" She yelled back at her husband who was on the sofa with his hands on his head.

He sighed and shouted for them to be seated. They both compiled and glared at each other.

"Mom... please listen..."

"What the fuck is there to listen?"

"Kit, that family treated him as their son-in-law even though he is not yet, it might be hard," his father reasoned.

"Honey he is already engaged!!! It's the same with marriage! And what about Singto? He is not a thing for your son to pay and get!" She shrieked in anger.

"He likes me too!" Krist chopped with a deep smile before scrunched himself low by his mother's realisation eyes.

"You know him before, don't you? What's between you and him?" She demanded with an authoritative look.

"I... I... Mom...it's complicated Mom!"

"Then drop the wish and forget him!" His mother declared with no argument look.

"I won't...not without trying... I want to give it a try Mom!"

"Kit, why don't you listen to your m-.."

Krist cut his father with his confession, "I slept with him, Dad!"

Without a second waste, his mother launched herself on her son with her fist. The father figure quickly pulled her back holding his arms around her waist and asked Krist to leave the house.

"You are not being fair Mom!" Krist whined and walked away.

"He is not regretting it, honey! Leave me to teach him a good lesson!"

Krist drove his car with a pout, he thought of spending his night at Knott's house but before that he chose to spend some time alone so he stopped at a random park and took a walk to gather his thoughts.

He understands his mother's concern and he wants to listen to her but his inner feelings somehow lead him to Singto while his heart nudges him to get to know the latter.

This is the first time his whole sense points at one person when it comes to love so he doesn't want to toss the chance of a beautiful destiny.

He drove to the restaurant when his stomach growled in hunger. After a tasty dinner, he started to Knott's house but his wheels stubbornly drove towards Singto place.

A figure slowly sneaked inside the room before resting on the bed and hugging the sleeping person tight.

"I missed you .." he whispered and sniffled the latter's neck for his favourite scent.

He furrows at the different scents, "are you trying new perfumes?"

Singto didn't startled by the person who was hugging him after all he was given the rights to do so.

However he went dreadful by the question. It was Krist scent which was so soothing that Singto didn't mind removing it.

He is afraid Sam will find so he tilted his head back and kissed him. Sam smiled at the kiss and returned it.

Sam broke the kiss and whispered,
"I was so mad at dad for taking me away from you on our special day.. I thought you will upset at me for leaving you alone on engagement nigh-..."

"I am not upset... Why will I? It was your work, I understand," Singto cut Sam by his words before kissing him again.

Singto is terrified that he may have a change of heart or will get caught by himself. So he decided to tie himself stronger with Sam.

What is better than giving what Sam desire for long.

"I am ready.." Singto let out after a kiss.

"But... Singto..you said we should do after marr-..."

"I want you now.." Singto confessed with a regretful quiver which was taken as a sexual tremble by Sam.

Sam compiled right away by capturing his lips and hovering over him.

However Singto stopped him and ask him to wait till he finish his shower.

The latter climbed off and went inside the bathroom hiding his welled up eyes in the darkness.

He forgot to lock the door and get under the shower not even removing his shirt.

Sam thought Singto didn't lock the door because he wants to join him. With a wide grin he rushed inside and joined him.

Singto startled by the entry but he didn't stop the latter's advance like he usually does, after all what's the point of resisting when he decided to be together for life.

Sam pulled Singto out of the shower and unbuttoned him to get rid of the garments. He made him turn over before the mirror and move behind him.

"Your...curvy figure always makes me horny sing!"

Singto couldn't able to get into the mood, and he feels so ashamed that he is thinking about his sex with Krist.

Is his heart that much vulnerable that a single night with a stranger shake his relationship with Sam completely.

He likes Sam and his pampering kisses but now he wants to move away, is it because he finally realised he is tied with Sam for life or is it by k...krist?

Singto is glad the water droplets are hiding his tears unlike his body which is shaking in disagreement for the touch.

Sam removed Singto's shirt while his lips were trailing behind the latter's ears. He pulled Singto's shirt to drop it on the floor and nuzzled the latter's shoulders.

He glanced the mirror and studied Singto's expression which was not he anticipated.

He thought the latter will be red with a shy smile. However his face was hard with closed eyes. His lips were sealed.

He scowls before studying further beneath to went numb. He took a step back.

Singto opened his eyes when he didn't feel a touch for long. He glanced Sam in the mirror whose eyes was on him.

"What is this?"

Sam pointed the mark on Singto's shoulders. The said latter eyes rounded in dread.

How did he forgot this?!!! Singto questioned himself and cursed his fate lot.

"This is not what I think it is?" Sam questioned with a white emotion.

Singto took a step forward but Sam step back. "Answer me Sing... It's not a hickey right?"

Singto lied to Sam on so many occasions yet he can't today.. His heart tightened and edged him to confess the truth that he slept with a stranger in Sam absence and he doesn't want to marry him but he controlled it from confessing.

"I....am sorry...." Singto hangs his head down.

"Get out..." Sam whispered barely audible.

"P'Sam... I ..."

"Get out Singto...Leave out of my house," Sam let out harshly even thought it makes his soul tear apart.

Singto didn't move and stood before him apologising continuously but Sam dragged him out and shoved him out of his room after tossing a dry shirt at him.

Singto went paralyzed since it was his first time seeing Sam get angry at him. He put his shirt on and ran outside of the house fastly before his family member spot him.

Krist stopped at a little distance from the house, he stared the home longingly before turning back and drive.

He abruptly pressed the brake when he saw the mess of his life sitting on the bus stop alone.

He quickly hopped out and rushed to him. His heart clenched painfully when he saw the teary cheeks and glassy eyes gaze at him with an immense throb.

"Y-you.... What did I do to you???" Singto sobbed harder before fisting Krist's shirt.

Krist heart goes unrest with a chaotic expression.

"I.... Like him..... I was sincere..I hurt him.. ....I .... I .." Singto cried louder like a child while Krist step closer to him without initiating a comfort touch.

Singto slammed his head on the latter's tummy and weeps more at his pathetic fate.

"You... because of you...  I lost everyone once again..... I hate you... I hate you...

I HATE YOU!!!!"
