Chapter 21: Is He Gay?

N I K E

I'm with Kyousuke at the house of the deceased nurse. We are currently at the living room and it is a mess. The chairs and tables are all destroyed and not even one appliances are here. Did someone really suicide here or someone just robbed it?

"Should we check her bedroom?" I asked, looking at Kyousuke.

"We should wait for the assistant first," he replied, still looking at the torn pictures on the floor.

As if on cue, the door flew open and a familiar figure entered. Samuel Zucker. The one I love for six years and still counting. He is wearing a plain white shirt, paired with black pants. Damn. How can a guy be so hot in plain clothes?

As my gaze landed on his cold face, I can't stop my heart from skipping a beat. That face. Such beautiful hazel brown eyes and hair. That pointed nose and sharp jawline. His whole body screams sexy, but his aura is cold as ice. Hayst. Why are you so cold?

"Long time no see, Samuel," Kyousuke stated as he offers his hand. He is really a gentleman. He is wearing a white polo shirt and dark brown pants. Another hottie. I have a crush on him for some years now, but I can't let go of Samuel, so he is only my crush.

Dear Samuel, you should like me back already! I'm so loyal to you and I can keep up with your cold attitude! Just kidding.

"Y-yeah," Samuel stuttered as he hand shakes with Kyousuke. Don't tell me...he is gay?! Oh god, please no. No way!

"Should we go to the bedroom now?" I asked. Samuel immediately let go of Kyousuke's hand. It seemed like he is nervous. Why would he? Oh, please tell me I'm wrong. They nodded in response and we all went to the bedroom, led by Kyousuke.

"The nurse hanged herself right in the middle," Samuel stated. The room was a mess. Clothes and papers all around the floor. The bed has no cover and the blanket was torn. In the middle was a chair and a rope that is hanged from the ceiling.

"How tall is the nurse?" Kyousuke asked.

"Same height as Nike." He replied. How did he know my height? Did he memorized it? Oh my, how sweet! I know I'm assuming, but whatever!

"The rope is too high for her to reach it, even with this chair. Have you performed a autopsy?" Kyousuke asked, looking at Samuel intensely. What's with him? Is my Samuel gay for Kyou?!

"N-not yet. The report is still not out." Samuel stuttered again. Why the hell is he stuttering?! Is he really gay? My imagination is running wild here. I ship them, but I also don't. Argh!

"If it was a murder, then the victim was poisoned or strangled to death by the murderer before he or she hanged her. Am I right?" I suggested when I was back to reality. Gosh, these boys are making me crazy!

"That's it for our investigation here. Let's just wait for the autopsy report.," Kyousuke stated and was about to leave when I stopped him.

"How about we all go to the cafe? I'm hungry! And this investigation is tiring, you know," I complained like a child and they ended up agreeing to me.

The waitress welcomed us and guided us to a seat for three, near the window.

"What do you want? I'll pay," Kyousuke said. This gentleman is really something.

I only smiled happily, and he patted my head out of nowhere. My smile faded and I gave him a questioning look. It seems like he was back in reality and quickly took his hand away and stood. Weird.

"Do you have any order?" He asked, looking at Samuel.

"I'll buy my own," He replied, standing up.

"We will buy first, wait for us, alright?" Kyousuke said and I only nodded then they left.

I watched them as they wait in line. Two handsome guys. One is the person I like and the other one is my super crush. How beautiful this day is. I stared at them and that's when I noticed something weird.

Kyousuke kept sending glances towards me, while Samuel is secretly staring at him. Oh my. Is Samuel really gay? Did Kyousuke found out? Is he asking for my help? This is confusing!

I took out my phone and called Alexa. Alexa is like a mother to me, and she is the first one I call every time I have a problem. I put my phone near my hear and waited for the call to be answered. The call got through and I heard weird noises.

"Low? Why did you call? Aren't you busy?" She asked, making me smile.

"Help me here! Tell me, is Samuel gay?!" I asked straightforward. I don't have time to waste, they are already in front of the counter. I heard laughter from the other line. Wait. Is that Elijah? Oh right, they are probably investigating the other crime scenes.

"Why don't you ask him? Just let him go already, Nike. It has been six years. You admitted your feelings for him, twice, yet he rejected you twice," she replied.

"Just tell me! Is he gay?" I asked, my voice full of frustration.

"Who is gay?" I heard a very familiar voice from behind. Fuck. Kyousuke and Samuel is here already. And they heard. I closed my eyes in frustration.

"Repeat after me. Are you gay, Samuel?" I heard Alexa said from the other line, and for some reason, I did as she said. When I realized what I just said, I kept my eyes shut in frustration. What the hell did I just said?! I hate you, Alexa!

I ended the call quickly and opened my eyes slowly. Kyousuke's face was full of shock while Samuel's was red as tomato. Please tell me I'm wrong. Please!

"Now you know why I kept rejecting you. Yes, I am gay. And I like Kyousuke for four years now," he answered straightforward even though his face was red.

Should I cry that the one I like is gay? And on top of that, he likes my bestfriend. Should I just accept it and be happy for them? I don't know anymore!

"I don't like you, Samuel. I like someone else," Kyousuke stated, making my jaw drop. Oh my god. I shifted my gaze towards Samuel. He still looked like before. Not even a trace of shock.

"I know that. I know who you like and I support you. Unfortunately, the one you like, loves me. So, should I make her mine? Give me an answer tomorrow. Bye now, hottie," Samuel stated, making my jaw drop more. He took his things and left the cafe, leaving me dumbfounded. This is the second time that I was left dumbfounded by a guy. Gosh.

I looked at Kyousuke and I was shocked. His eyes were full of concern. Why is he so worried? What's going on? God, help me.
