Chapter 30 - TRIGGERS

"I have to talk to you, Kean." Tyvan insisted, disregarding the people around him. Leansei gave a deep breath again and turned his head to Tyvan. 

"We don't have anything to talk about." 

"But Kean—" 

They came to a halt when a familiar voice approached them. 

"Are you bothering my more just than friends?" They turned their heads towards Beidhen with his lavish formal attire and a wine glass in his hand. 

The three heads turned towards Beidhen, except Tyvan, who had an annoyed look. Beidhen walked towards Leansei and clung to Leansei's neck. Xeilin shook his head when he knew that was the personality of Beidhen. Meanwhile, Corshe was still glaring at Tyvan and Revin looked at them with an unknown reaction. 

"More than just a friend?" Tyvan asked with a fazed look. 

"Oh yeah, this guy right here is more than just my friend." Beidhen said, with a proud look on his face. Leansei sneekered and tried to put his arm away from his neck, but it got heavier like a brick of dumbel. 

"You should all mind your own business. It's between me and him. I don't want flies clinging around us. " Tyvan said. Leansei looked at Tyvan with a serious look. Leansei couldn't figure out what kind of relationship they had that he was ready to end this in front of the crowd. 

"I know why we fly around you like butterflies; who wouldn't? even flies clinging to rotten, disgusting shit." Beidhen said, with a smirk on his lips. Corshe looked away to stop himself from laughing the same way as Revin and Xeilin did, who faked their cough. Leansei finally shoved Beidhen's arms.

Tyvan clenched his fist but Leansei came forward to stop things that were about to happen. 

"You can't talk to my friends like that." Leansei said. He just thought that he had finally met another person who was truly true to him and who was there for him. "I'll talk to you if I can. My mind is messed up. " Leansei said, even if he knows himself, I can't confront him, not now or never. He just can't retain the feeling he felt years ago.

"I need—" Tyvan was cut off once again when Xerchin came into the frame with his hand in his pocket. The wind blows in his shiny messy hair and twinkles in his blue murky eyes under the moonlight. Xerchin was once again dashing, and that made Leansei glance away. 

"Didn't you heard him? He'll talk to you soon, so leave. " Xerchin stated with a blank expression. Beidhen smirked and shook his head. 

From Tyvan hushed glance at Xerchin, which arises the tension in the atmosphere, He glanced back at Leansei with his head down. He turned around and walked away. 

They gave a deep sign as Corshe joyously walked towards Beidhen with an innocent, cute expression on his face. "What a great rebutt! In fact, that's the only good thing you have said. " Corshe said while tiptoeing to tap Beidhen's shoulder. 

Beidhen couldn't deduce if it was either sarcastic or a compliment, but he disregarded it anyway. "I'll take that as a compliment." Beidhen said and glance beside him, in which Revin was looking at the beautiful night sky at the top of the 82nd floor. 

Corshe still couldn't cease to think of what happened earlier. Xeilin was nodding and trying to stop Corshe from guffawing. Leansei turned his head to Beidhen when he saw him intently looking at Revin, who had waving hair due to the wind gales. 

His eyes spotted Xerchin, who was looking at him with a full sadness in his eyes. Leansei felt guilty for how he treated him; he also couldn't tell if he was dissimulating or not; or, more accurately, he didn't want to know at all.

Leansei looked down, wanting to retract what he had just said because he had failed to imply the phrase that he was intending to say, instead saying things that were unclear and flawed.

Leansei just said that in the heat of the moment and the feelings he felt at those times, but it makes it even worse. 

Leansei was about to take it back when Seleigh was looking in their direction while she was with Revinah. He halted as he remembered the recent times. He turned around and went beside Xeilin and Corshe, who were talking with each other. 

When Leansei came towards them, Xeilin immediately lowered his head as a flush in his cheeks began to redden. Leansei noticed and didn't bother to ask since Xeilin seemed to be nervous and embarrassed. 

"What were you two talking about?" Leansei asked. 

"Well.." Corshe said when he stopped at the midway and glanced at Xeilin with a naughty smile. "We were talking about my friend," Corshe said, adding a phrase. 

Leansei looked at them confusedly but didn't ask any further questions. 

There was a quiet atmosphere when Corshe suddenly asked, "What's between you and Tyvan?" Leansei stopped and gave it a thought that Kevin might have a deep relationship with Tyvan. 

"I don't remember my past and I don't have the courage to talk to him." Leansei said, with a sadness in his eyes. 

.

A few minutes later, the adults came with laughter and simultaneous chatting, along with the upper middle class. Leansei stopped when he spotted a familiar face that he had seen before he fell into the water. 

They made eye contact, and she joyfully walked towards Leansei, her red hair bouncing as she ran.

"Kean! I'm pleased to meet you again! " She said this and put her cheeks into Leansei's. He just looked at her with a fazed look, but he could also sense a pair of eyes looking in their direction. He disregarded it and asked the lady. 

"May I know who are you?" Leansei asked. 

The red-haired girl dangled and laughed. "Oh right, you have amnesia but anyway--" 

"Whats so funny?" Corshe asked in a churlish manner. 

Leansei knew that this girl was two-faced, in that he could recall that this was the girl's fault, but he knew that he shouldn't blame anyone since that event was an accident. 

"Oh, I just remembered someone who fell off the deck." She said, in a precipitous way. Leansei felt a loud pump in his chest as the memory came to his mind of how he fell into the sea. 

Leansei clenched his fist as he looked at the floor. He could feel the dark prescence into his shadows, swallowing his humanity. 

Corshe looked at Leansei and was taken aback when he felt a different--terrifying presence from Leansei that he had never seen before, and he knew something was wrong, one of the reasons being that this mindless lady was out of line.

Corshe was about to speak harshly to the girl, but Xerchin came forward as he glared at the lady. The red-haired girl swallowed and terrified when she saw Xerchin behind their back. 

"I-i better go, Kean. See you around." She said and ran away. 

Leansei couldn't hear anything aside from the loud pump in his chest, wherein his sweat ran down to his skin, making him pale and remember the accident. 

His legs weaken as he is about to stumble down the ground when Corshe immediately catches him with a concerned look in his face. Xerchin was about to touch him when he remembered that Leansei was mad at him. He slowly put his hand down and looked at Beidhen when he saw him walking towards Leansei. 

Beidhen and Xerchin's eye contact seems like they have telekenesis that they are having a conversation while looking at each other. Beidhen nodded to Xerchin with an assured look in his face. 

Xeilin and Revin hurriedly walked towards them with a worried look in their faces.

"I'll carry him to the room. " Beidhen said and assisted him towards the door when some adults were busy talking with each other. Felean looked in their direction as he tried to make a worried face when Mrs. Ferech came and worried when he saw Leansei, who looked pale. 

"What happened?" Mrs. Ferech asked if someone came and talked to her in a polite manner. 

.

Leansei slowly opened his eyes and sat down on a soft mattress as he looked at the familiar surroundings. He was in his room at the mansion. A towel fell down from his forehead. He grabbed it and put it into the near bowl. 

"You're awake." Leansei flinched when he heard a familiar voice. He turned his head and it was Felean. 

"You really know how to get everyone's attention, huh?" Felean said with an annoyed tone. 

"It's not my fault that I'm more famous than you." Leansei said as he lifted his legs from the floor facing Felean, who was leaning against the wall.

Felean clenched his fist and walked towards Leansei with an irritated look as he grabbed Leansei's clothes. "Why did you come back alive? You should have died--" Leansei couldn't figure out what happened between Kean and Felean that made their relationship like this. 

"Can't you give me a break? I just woke up." Leansei said who are still calmed down. 

Felean made a sarcastic chuckle as he tightened his grip. "Don't forget that it's your fault that I'm this way and you can never blame anyone for what you did." Leansei just looked at him hushedly. 

' It's Kean's fault? I'm really curious about what happened between them two. But it's out of my league, it's not my concern anymore. I have to leave this place too, sooner. ' 

"Don't expect me to treat you as my brother because I assumed you died on that day." Felean said as he harshly let go of Leansei's clothes. 

The door opened and Mrs. Ferech came in with a startled look when she saw them. Felean stopped as he was out of words, or rather, he was caught by his true self. 

"What's happening here? Are you two fighting? " Mrs. Felean said with a knotted forehead while holding a tray in her hand. 

"I-i.." Felean looked down as he was left with no words to say. 

"My legs were cramped, so I asked him to lift me up." Leansei said while looking at Mrs. Ferech. Her knotted forehead began to fade away as she nodded while walking towards them. 

"Is that so?" Mrs. Ferech said, and she put the tray on the bed. "How's your brother, son?" and asked. 

Felean glanced at Leansei, trying to hide his annoyed look. "He's doing fine now." 

That made Leansei snap as he remembered he was in the luxurious hotel and how he ended up in his room. 

"What happened?" Leansei asked that made Mrs. Ferech come towards him and put her hand into Leansei's forehead to see if he still had fever. 

"You suddenly had a fever while we were on the rooftop, but the doctor said that something triggered your trauma that is why you had a fever."

"I guess you carried me home." Leansei said while scratching his temple. 

Mrs. Ferech, came and put the cover away from the tray that revealed the delicious food. "No silly, someone carried you home." As she smiled and put the tray near to his side, Leansei grabbed the fork and spoon as he started eating the food. It was porridge, bacon and egg. 

"Its Beidhen, isn't it?" Leansei said and chewed the food. He felt that he hadn't eaten for days, and the cooking was also superb. 

"You were asleep for a day and a half. Drink your meds after eating. " Mrs. Ferech said as she placed the medicine on the nearby table and looked at Leansei with relief that her son is now fine.

Leansei were enjoying the food when Mrs. Ferech said, "Oh right, Xerchin brought you home and carried you to your room." As soon as he heard that, he began choking as the food stuck in his throat. Mrs. Ferech immediately offered him a glass of water and drank it. 

He was startled when hearing Xerchin's name. More specifically, he drove him home and carried him to his room. 

"W-what???"
