Kian's mind went completely blank at Yohan's confession. So, how long had Yohan harbored these feelings? He was speechless, caught off guard by this unexpected declaration of affection. The previous time, when he'd rejected Yohan, it hadn't felt like a genuine confession; rather, it was a response prompted by Kian himself asking if Yohan had feelings for him. It lacked the emotional weight that resonated deep within one's soul – there were no fluttering butterflies, no awkward tension in the air.
But this time was different. Yohan's words resonated with an undeniable sincerity that struck Kian deep within his soul. It was as if a hidden door had swung open, revealing a space he hadn't known existed – a wellspring of emotions that threatened to overwhelm him. He stood frozen, struggling to maintain composure amidst the sudden flood of bewildering sensations.
