Chapter 76: Typhoon

Kian awoke with a pounding headache, the remnants of a bizarre and unsettling dream clinging to his mind. The young man from his dream... wasn't that Yohan? Was last night's encounter with him seeping into his subconscious, manifesting as a fantastical scenario where they were a couple, adopting a child? The thought sent a blush creeping up Kian's neck - both embarrassing and exhilarating.

If not for the inexplicable feelings that seemed to stand in their way, if not for Kane's obvious affection for Yohan... maybe things would be different now. Maybe...

Suddenly, the door to Kian's ward swung open with an alarming bang. He winced at the noise, brows furrowing in annoyance at its abruptness – even the nurse passing by let out a startled gasp at its forcefulness. Cyruss strode in confidently, nodding apologetically at the flustered nurse before turning his full attention to Kian. His face was a mixture of disbelief and concern.
