Ken, Nic, and Sam after lunch, studied together in the living hall.
Ken notices Sam is good at studying and Ken asks Sam for a favour to help Nic in studying whenever he has the time.
Sam says, “Sure!”
Nic looks at Sam why is he so eager?
Sam clears his throat; I also need to study, so let’s study together.
Ken tells “Nic to be thankful to Sam for his willingness to help him.”
Nic turns to Sam to thank him for helping him with the study.
Sam says, “You’re welcome.”
They are studying in the living hall while Joe is very busy in his room doing a lot of work; the maidservant serves his food to his room for lunch.
Joe asked the maidservant to serve him all the food in his room during the next two days.
Joe also tells the maidservant to serve Ken, Nic, and Sam their meals daily, and if they need anything, just ask them to write it on a piece of paper and pass it to him through the maidservant.
Joe is unable to leave the room due to the workload, Zen supposed to do it but since Zen is injured and not able to work even Zen is not able to attend the office.
Joe has to fax over all the documents to the office since Joe is also unable to leave the Mansion because of the seal.
Zen is still in deep sleep; his injuries seem not to be in good condition.
In previous Chapter 14, Zen seems to tell the maidservants not to come to his room before locking the door.
Nobody dares to disobey Zen; thus everyone does their job.
It’s already 6 pm, Ken looks at the clock and the maidservant comes with the food for dinner.
The maidservant tells Ken if he need anything, just write it on a piece of paper and she will pass it to Joe.
Ken asks, “Why?”
The maidservant replied that he is very busy with work and unable to come out for these 2 days as he instructed me to send food to his room.
Ken says, “Oh! I see.”
Ken eats his food.
Nic looks at Ken and finds it weird why he never asks about Zen?
But Nic didn’t mention anything.
Sam looks at Nic’s expression and finds him weird, but he doesn’t know the reason.
When they finished eating, Ken says let’s play computer game of combat!
Nic and Sam says, “Alright, let’s play.”
They start playing.
Nic lets Ken win the first round and Sam lets Nic win the second round.
There’s a pause after that, they get up to go to the washroom and return playing the game.
In third round, Ken tells Nic to let Sam win the game as both of them have already won the first and second game.
Nic agrees and in third-round, Sam wins.
After that, Ken said he is tired and needs to rest.
Nic says, “Okay” but Nic wants to stay a while more in the living hall.
Ken says, “Okay, but not too late.”
Sam thinks this is the Chance.
Since they are alone in the living hall and the maidservants all went to their rooms and Ken is going to his room.
Joe is no doubts still busy with work, and Zen is still in deep sleep.
(Sam here he is guessing Zen is sleeping as in seriously injured.)
Sam goes closer to Nic and says, “Are you tired?”
Nic says, “Not really, why?”
Sam says, “Let’s go to my room and chat, it will disturb others if we are in the living hall and Ken will know that we are not sleeping.”
Nic says, “Okay.”
Sam turns off the lights of living hall and proceeds to his room.
(Just for info; Ken’s room is beside Nic’s room and Nic’s room is beside Sam’s room; the reason is that Sam’s idea is to propose in his room and leaves Nic room empty so that Ken won’t be able to hear them.)
Nic walks into Sam’s room, sits on his bed, and Sam locks the door.
(Weird Nic why you don’t go and sit on a chair instead of sitting on the bed straight?)
Nic asks Sam, “Why do you lock the door?”
Sam says that just in case if someone opens the door he might get a shock since it’s not his own house and Sam has no idea who else living in this Mansion.
By saying this, Nic was alert and said yes, just in case, since this Mansion is huge.
Nic suddenly asks Sam, “You know Zen, I wonder how he is?”
Sam says, “Zen looked really in bad condition last time when we left him in the Mansion to rest.”
Nic says, “Do you know, I find my brother is weird, he doesn’t care about Zen he never asks how is he.”
Sam asks, “May I know what’s your brother’s relationship with Zen?”
Nic says, “Zen every day comes to fetch Ken for breakfast and drive him to school and after school, he took him to dinner and send him back to home.”
Sam remembers just now Ken told him Zen always sends him to school and that’s the reason Ken wants Sam to accompany Nic.
Sam says, “Maybe he is worrying but didn’t say out.”
Nic says, “My brother has to ask since he is my brother, I know his character.”
Sam thinks true, since he wasn’t into Ken, he doesn’t know him well. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
(Sam only stalks Nic so he knows Nic very well.)
Nic asks Sam, “Do you remember when we came here last night?”
“Zen mentioned Ken got the poison, I wonder what kind of poison it was?”
“It seems since yesterday until now Zen didn’t wake up or I never sees his face at all.”
Sam says, “Yes, I remembered, but your brother has wake up; he eats, study and plays games it seems normal. I don’t see anything wrong with your brother.”
Nic says, “Something is off” but he is unable to explain about Ken, his brother.
Nic shakes his head.
Sam advises Nic not to worry.
Nic says, “Let’s see, anything else comes up if he knows what went off” so that he can explain further.
Nic says “Let’s do this if I need to talk to you, I will go to your room so that my brother can’t hear us talking.”
Sam says “okay.”
Sam touches Nic’s hair and says, “It’s soft.”
Nic smiles and says, “Because I put on hair serum.” Sam goes nearer, and smells, “It’s nice, I like it.”
Nic blushes.
Nic says, “When I return home I will took a photo of the hair serum so that you can buy it too.”
Sam tells Nic that he will breakfast and dinner with him and sends him to school every day, and wants to accompany him every weekend.
Nic got a surprising look and stared at Sam.
Sam suddenly realizes he talks like he loves Nic almost exposed, and exactly that’s how Zen is doing to Ken.
But Nic is very slow and he didn’t think this way.
Instead, Nic thinks maybe because it’s his brother who asks Sam to take care of him, that’s why he behaves like this.
(*Sighs Sam you have to try very hard to express your love to Nic because he doesn’t know what’s in love.)
Nic says, “Its good too since my brother always left me alone in the house. You can accompany me and I won’t be bored.”
Sam smiles and puts his hand on Nic’s shoulder let’s get closer from now on.
Nic says, “I feel sleepy.”
Sam says, “Why not you sleep here tonight?”
Nic nodded and fell on the pillow to sleep.
Sam quickly turns off the light.
Sam smiled wide as he lay beside Nic.
Sam said in his mind, I have to endure soon he will be mine.
I have to sleep for now Sam fell asleep.
Ken in his room, feels very tired and wonders; he only eats, studies, and plays computer games, but it feels like he has done a lot of running and feeling exhausted.
Ken goes to sleep.
