Adam finally gathered himself together even though he couldn't understand a single thing. What he did understand that Stanley seemed to have more deduction skills than anyone else in the group. And Dean had a better hand at fighting as compared to the other person.
But Adam wasn't good at anything at all! He would just keep following the two people before him blindly. And he was so dumb that sometimes it took him a while before he could realize something. And when he did, it would be too late.
Just like right now. When he heard Stanley explaining things, Adam finally felt something off. He tilted his head and asked in a bewildering voice, "Why can't I hear the fake one repeating after you?"
"You finally realized this." Dean snorted.
Tyler stayed silent. He had no intention of making fun of someone like Adam. He could understand the person with glasses was just a commoner who rarely faced difficult situations like this. So it was natural for the latter to not be fast enough to realize such a thing.
"But why?" Adam frowned and waved his hand beside him where his fake version was standing, only to find that there was nothing but air. His brows furrowed even further. "Where's our clones?"
"Who knows?" Dean stretched his arms, intentionally or unintentionally touching Tyler's hands. "Maybe we will find out more if we can go further into the dark."
Tyler's face darkened, and he hit Dean's stomach with his elbow, earning a groan from the other person. He hated such kinds of hidden intentions. Dean's identity was thoroughly exposed, but this person was so shameless that the latter even dared to find excuses to touch him here and there.
It was especially the case ever since they came in the dark! Tyler couldn't help but glance back to glare at the man walking behind him. But since it was dark, the male lead didn't perceive this and continued to hum a song while walking leisurely.
The three of them continued to walk in the dark. Dean's mood that was on the verge of darkening was soothed suddenly after touching Tyler here and there in the dark. With no fake version around to hinder him, he acted almost like an open bull.
That "almost kissing" scene was the last straw that broke the moment that fake version appeared. And now he was glad that he could get rid of that b*stard so quickly!
Now, the male lead had decided that no matter what, he would get that kiss before other fake versions appeared in his life! So to soothe his already jealous heart, he couldn't stop himself from touching Tyler here and there in the dark.
But Tyler's face was completely black.
At first, he had ignored these little actions of the male lead. But little by little, these actions only turned bolder to the point that he even felt Dean's hands were practically sticking to his own body!
Tyler was already angry at this person. But instead of coaxing him by really admitting the mistakes, the male lead was resorting to molesting him like this.
Alright, Tyler had to admit that this really wasn't molesting, but instead, he liked it, but that wasn't the point! The thing was, he wanted to teach this person a lesson.
"Dean, show me your hand," Tyler said suddenly when an idea popped in his head. They had been walking in this dark path for almost an hour, and it was time to experiment with something. Of course, initially, he wanted to experiment it on himself, but now that Dean had started to make trouble for him, Tyler would make sure to teach him a good lesson!
A dark smile formed on his lips.
Dean, on the other hand, was stunned. At first, he felt a touch of excitement bursting in his heart. It seemed that Tyler was finally going to return his love! But soon, he paused since Tyler's actions seemed really out of character.
The male lead furrowed his brows, but he still stopped and put his hands in front of Tyler. The latter possessed the ability to see in the dark. So he quickly found Dean's hand.
But just as their hands touched, Dean felt a bad premonition in his heart. Before he could think about it, he felt a sharp pain throbbing in the palm of his hands.
"Now, light a torch and see if you can see the fake versions again and if they would have this kind of injury."
Tyler actually took it upon himself to injure Dean's palms just for experimenting this like of thing? The male lead felt a a bucket of cold water was poured over his heart. He pursed his lips and obediently fished out a match stick, lightening it with his free hand.
Ah...it seemed his little lover was still angry at him. But he had to admit that he went overboard by all the touching. But he ddint regret it a bit!
Adam, who was still in the dark, didn't know what happened. So he opened his big mouth again to seek death. "Stanley, what're you doing to Dean's hand? I can't see in the dark." Then he paused and said, "Don't tell me you're afraid of the dark. So you wanted to touch someone for safety."
Then Adam felt like he had touched a secret. So he deliberately lowered his voice. "If you want, I can hold your other hand. Then you won't be afraid."
To be honest, Adam himself was feeling quite afraid in the dark. So he used Tyler's excuse to find a shelter.
Hearing these words, Dean, who was in a good mood earlier, became colder. His face went dark, and he instantly grabbed Tyler's hands and gripped tightly. He didn't care about the blood that was oozing out of his palms at this moment.
"You don't have to worry about him." The male lead said coldly, "I'm here to take care of my friend."
After this, Dean didn't give the man another chance to say nonsense before he brightened up the area using his match stick.
But as soon as the surrounding area brightened up, the fake versions, who seemed to have disappeared, appeared again. Tyler shook off the male lead's hand and saw the injury. Then he glanced over at the fake Dean's palms only to find that the injury hadn't appeared.
After seeing this, Tyler revealed a smile. Looks like his experiment succeeded.
I wasn't gonna post two chapters today since I'm quite sleepy, but oh well. I couldn't stop myself. I just love the interaction between Tyler and Dean.
Lol, I'm fangirling over the characters I created ^_^
