[Bonus chapter] Stargazing with Sir! (3)

[Song Recommendation: Sweet Night - V/Kim Taehyung.]

"I promise I will be the best man for you, and Sir… you are my first love and the only one. It will forever stay like that."

…

Cha Junshik looked up to the night sky, not wanting to look at Alpheus' face or else— he would crumble and confess the same.

Alpheus didn't understand the burden that Junshik had to bear. 

Cha Junshik wasn't a good man, but he was not a man who'd ruin someone's life for fun or just a fleeting feeling. 

"Why do you keep repeating the same thing, Alphie? You told me how you feel many times, and my answer still hasn't changed," Cha Junshik said. "I am not your mate, and I don't want to be selfish. Your love is solely reserved for your mate. It's all fate, right?"

"You keep thinking about what I need to do, Sir. But you never asked what I want to do," Alpheus protested.
