After strolling around the city of Ondoa until late afternoon, Antonio and Mikhall decided to go back to the condo now.
Along the way, Antonio planned out on what he should cook for their dinner.
Earlier before they left the condo, he checked the refrigerator if it had food stored in it or if he still needed to go grocery shopping.
Fortunately, Christopher must have ordered someone to fill in the refrigerator with all sorts of food supplies.
Not only that, but his father was so thorough that the whole living necessities such as shampoos, soaps, air fresheners, and such things were prepared in advance and were placed in the unit before their arrival.
Then, after a few minutes, they are finally back at their condo.
"Thanks for touring me around, Brother Mikey."
Antonio said and started heading to the kitchen.
"No problem … but what are you going to do?"
Mikhall answered while following Antonio as if he was the latter's tail and seeing him taking out various things from the refrigerator.
Antonio closed the refrigerator and looked at Mikhall.
"I'll make us dinner in no time so please take a rest for a moment, Brother Mikey."
Antonio then proceeded to the sink and made wonders in the kitchen like a professional chef.
He first washed rice before letting them cook in the rice cooker.
He washed the meat and vegetables in a quick manner for his chicken stew.
He sliced them so skillfully and swiftly that made Mikhall watch him with an agape mouth.
He turned on the stove and placed a cooking pot with water and started boiling it.
He then gradually started putting the ingredients he prepared in the pot within the time appropriate for them.
On the other side of the stove, he placed a frying pan and started making an omelet as he was craving for it since early afternoon.
He went to one side of the kitchen to check the rice, then went ahead to the chicken stew then focused again on the omelet.
Mikhall, who was staring at him from the entrance of the kitchen, watched him in a daze.
Then after a few minutes, Antonio finished his cooking.
"Let's go and eat now, Brother Mikey!"
Antonio said cheerfully as he walked out from the kitchen to the dining area with a pot in his hands.
Mikhall immediately placed a trivet on the table and Antonio put the pot on top of the trivet.
As Antonio went back to the kitchen to get the rice and the omelet, Mikhall started placing tableware on the table.
Once Antonio left the kitchen, they both sat across from each other.
"You know how to cook?"
Mikhall asked what he wanted to ask since earlier.
He doesn't know that Antonio knows how to cook and he can't help but find it very unexpected and unbelievable to see Antonio cooking.
After all, Antonio was born in a very wealthy family where he can go on living even without doing anything for the rest of his life.
Antonio smiled as he took a scoop of rice and a slice of omelet then put them on his plate.
"Yes, cooking was actually one of my hobbies since I was eleven—though when I woke up from a coma, I was banned from doing it for my recovery."
Antonio answered as he put a spoonful of rice in his mouth followed by a bite of omelet.
He then also scoop some chicken stew and savor its taste.
It's his first time cooking again after waking up in this world and being restricted in doing something to the kitchen for a few months, so he expected that his cooking would degrade.
But contrary to what he thought, it seems that his cooking seemed to have gotten more amazing than in his past life.
'It's delicious!'
He praised the food that he made inside his mind.
"It's delicious, Yoyo."
Mikhall said as he started eating Antonio's cooking with gusto.
Antonio smiled as he watched Mikhall eating.
"I'm thankful that Brother Mikey finds what I made for the first time after a few months delicious."
Mikhall smiled widely after hearing what Antonio said.
He then spoke.
"It is really very delicious, Yoyo."
He said so genuinely with a loving expression to Antonio, not knowing that his eyes are forming hearts while gazing at the other person.
After their dinner, they talked for a while and decided to sleep early for their first day classes tomorrow.
Meanwhile, as the two of them enter their dreamland, various people from different kinds of agencies are reporting to their superiors.
With their phones in their hands, they showed a picture of a very charming young man with shoulder length shiny black hair and brown eyes to their superior.
"Ma'am, should we cast him?"
"Sir! Let's pull him to our side!"
"Sir, I think I found the person that you're looking for!"
"Ma'am, let's recruit him and make him an idol."
That's what the four people from different kinds of agencies said to their superiors.
As the superiors from different agencies looked at the picture, a feeling of the need to work in a rushed manner came to them.
For some reason, they imagined that there would be a bloodbath with their agency and other agencies just to get the young man in the picture.
One of the superiors from an idol agency asked his junior.
"Why didn't you approach him?"
"There's a young man accompanying him that is glaring nonstop at me when I tried to make a move, sir."
. . .
"Wake up, Brother Mikey! Let's eat then get ready to go to school."
Antonio said as he entered Mikhall's bedroom and tried to wake the other up.
He has already finished preparing their breakfast and has also set the table.
Mikhall groaned and opened his eyes with a scowl on his face before it turned soft after seeing Antonio.
Because he just woke up from his sleep, he is still half-asleep and doesn't know if what he is seeing is real or not.
He didn't even remember that he lives with Antonio right now, so he thought that Antonio was just his own hallucination or maybe he is in his dream that just seems vivid.
"Good morning, Yoyo!"
He rose from his bed and pinched Antonio's cheeks for his own satisfaction.
He smiled widely when Antonio just let him be.
For some reason, his greed suddenly went to a leap and now, he wants to do more than just pinching Antonio's cheeks.
He now wants to feel Antonio's body against his.
Because he was still thinking that he was dreaming, he took advantage of the fact that Antonio is letting him do what he pleases, and moved closer to Antonio's body for a cuddle.
He wrapped his arms around Antonio's small waist and enjoyed the warmth he was feeling as he rubbed his face on Antonio's shoulder.
Antonio raised his eyebrow upon seeing this side of Mikhall that seems to be clingy to him, after all, he was the clingy one between them.
And based on his interactions with Mikhall, the other would touch him from time to time but not cling to him this tightly.
Antonio returned his hug and opened his mouth.
"As much as I want to spend time with Brother Mikey, I'm afraid that if we don't get ready now, we'll run late for our first class."
He said, glancing at the clock on the table beside Mikhall's bed.
He then felt that Mikhall's body stiffened.
After several seconds, Mikhall's arms around his body loosened then Mikhall raised his head.
"Yoyo?"
Mikhall dazedly muttered as he gazed at Antonio.
Antonio smiled and stood up from Mikhall's bed and got rid of the arms around his waist gently.
He then spoke as he noticed that Mikhall seems to be truly awake now.
"Let's eat now then prepare for school, Brother Mikey."
"Ah … yes."
That's the only response Mikhall could manage while his face started to flush in embarrassment.
'That … isn't a dream.'
He thought as he began to follow Antonio to the dining area.
Once they were done with their breakfast, they began to prepare themselves to go to school.
Their schools were just a block away from them, so they decided to just walk their way there.
As soon as they reached near the two schools, Antonio stared at Mikhall's school.
There was a big sign outside the large black grill gate of Mikhall's school.
Imperial Defense Institution.
That's the name of Mikhall's school.
During Antonio's conversations with Mikhall, he found out that the institution caters multiple branches of armed forces—such as the military, naval, and air force.
He knew that the school's owner was none other than Lawrence Grimmer, Mikhall's father.
Unlike other students that apply to only one branch of the armed forces, Mikhall is currently taking a course that combines training from all branches—the military, naval, and air force.
"Isn't it tough, Brother Mikey?"
Antonio asked as he observed Mikhall's masculine figure that became the result of the rigorous training he undergoes in the institution.
"Not really—by the way, Yoyo, if you need a bodyguard when you become a celebrity later on, don't hesitate to tell me … our school offers bodyguards to the students of your school."
Mikhall said while admiring Antonio's visage.
As they continue to walk to their respective schools, countless students from the two schools can't help but stare at their direction.
In the outsider's point of view, Antonio looks like an idol or celebrity while Mikhall is his handsome bodyguard.
However, those stares immediately went away the moment Mikhall looked at them in a very cold manner.
Then, as they reached the entrance of the Grand Performing Arts Academy, they halted and exchanged a temporary farewell before Antonio went inside the gate.
Mikhall also headed to his school's gate as soon as Antonio's figure disappeared in his sight.
Upon entering the Grand Performing Arts Academy, Antonio walked slowly to enjoy the magnificent design of the school.
After a person enters, a big fountain would welcome them at the center of the spacious area made with a patio ground.
The big fountain is the center of the academy with all the splendid buildings surrounding it.
Antonio walked past the fountain and all the buildings and went to the very last part of the academy.
Behind the building across from the academy entrance, is a very large colosseum.
Antonio headed to that colosseum, where the academy informed him to go for the first day class orientation.
There are still ten minutes before the start of the orientation, yet people are already flocking inside the colosseum.
But after observing quite a while, Antonio noticed that not everyone is a freshman student at the academy.
In fact, most of the people in the colosseum are people from different media outlets, agencies, or companies that are looking for an academy student with high potential to rise in stardom.
"Tsk, too many people."
While Antonio was observing the colosseum, he heard a grumbling voice from beside him.
He turned around and saw a young man that looked to be around his age, sitting beside him with crossed arms.
The man has red hair and fair skin.
His side profile is so hot and handsome that people would categorize as a rare type of handsomeness.
His handsomeness looks hot and sexy but at the same time full of innocence.
However, for Antonio, the man is handsome but not as handsome as Mikhall.
The red-haired man seems to feel Antonio's stare because he turned to look at him.
Antonio then made eye contact with the man's teal colored irises.
