Chapter 122: I am different from him!
It was already past sunset when Kylian decided to return to his room, followed by Aiden who also lived on the same floor as him. As they got down from the abandoned new building and marched towards their dorm building, with his mood feeling slightly better than before, Kylian smiled at Aiden, "So, we didn’t find any ghosts at the building, does that mean those were only groundless rumors?"
"Of course, the rumor was spread by our gang boys in the first place, and I was the mastermind behind it." Aiden chucked back with a mysterious tint in his hazel eyes.
"Huh?" Baffled by the revelation, Kylian urged, "Why would you even spread such a pointless rumor among the students when there were no ghosts from the beginning?"
"Because I wanted to make it my secret comfort place, along with the mesmerizing view that I have let you witness already." Aiden exhaled a big huff of breath as he answered while glancing ahead at the dormitory building they were about to reach. "I didn’t intend to share my comfort spot with the other boys, thinking they might ruin the peace there."
"If not...then...why would you take me there?"
Kylian’s sudden curious mumble paused Aiden’s steps as he spread a wide smile across his lips, meeting his tender gaze with Kylian, "Because we are friends now, right? And...I liked having you there with me."
Indirectly Aiden tried to project his budding infatuation towards him. However, facing Zenith’s direct bold approaches until now had turned Kylian too naive to even get his indirect hint.
He stared blankly, blinking his ocean eyes at Aiden as he thought, ’But why would he even like having me there?’
~ "He’s hitting on you, stupid. I figured out, you’d be too thickheaded to realize that in the first place. But I feel...he’s into you now." Unable to stand his inner contemplation, Kylian’s wolf Morpheus grunted aloud inside him, making him wince hard from his revelation.
