RIVERSIDE**
JoJo only calmed down after several minutes of petting.
Butter made her stay in his arms throughout, and he was even hoping the time would stop so it’d remain that way for life.
He has never hugged a girl all his life, she’d be the first girl he’d hug, and the fact that he’s wanting more is just a proof that what he has been thinking is actually right.
He tightened his arms around her, and when JoJo tried to break it, he hugged her even tighter.
“Wait….till you calm down completely” he said, knowing it’s an obvious excuse.
“I’m…I’m fine now” she replied gently, and he reluctantly broke the hug.
He held her face with his right hand, and their eyes met.
“Are you sure you’re ok now?” He asked calmly, and she nodded.
“I’m fine, thanks” she smiled lightly and sat back on the bench.
He looked at his palm and then at her before sitting beside her.
None talked for the first two minutes, only the cold night breeze whizzing past them and the serenity of the calm water surrounding them.
Butter looked at her again and settled his eyes on her.
The breeze was blowing her hair around, and she kept brushing it back with her fingers.
Even gawd knows that she looks too cute as she did, he couldn’t stop staring.
The breeze kept blowing her hair, and she looks like she’s having a hard time brushing it back everytime, so he shifted closer and turned her face to himself.
He tucked her hair behind her ears, and it stayed there, saving her from the stress of brushing it back every minute.
“Thanks” she murmured, and he smiled before shifting back.
“So…are you interested in telling me why you were crying?” He said, and she smiled slightly.
“I was just frustrated” she said.
“Family problem?, Your h@ťěful dad?” He said, and she looked at him.
“Something like that, but I’m ok now, thanks to you” she replied, and he shifted his gaze to the river.
“Why are you here anyways?” She asked.
“I saw when you branched to this place, I was driving across the road when you came here” he replied.
“So…you followed” she said.
“Yeah, and I’m glad I did” he replied.
“Why?”
“I calmed you down, you’d probably still be crying like a baby if I didn’t show up” he said, and she chuckled.
“But yunno, sometimes you just have to turn blind eye to some things, that’s when you’ll be able to live normally, you can act as if you don’t see your dad” he said, and she faced him.
“How?”
“Anything he does, reply with a smile and act like you don’t care, act unconcerned and you’ll find yourself focusing on other things that needs your attention, other than him” he replied, and she smiled.
“You just talked like someone I know” she said, remembering firefighter.
“Who?, Draco?” He asked curiously.
“No, just someone” she replied with a loud sigh, and he smiled, glad that she’s not talking about Draco.
“You do attend LOVERBOYZ concerts?” He asked.
“I dare not miss it, I love Lustre’s voice so much!, I can’t wait for the day he’ll reveal his face gosh!, Stanford University will shake!, And I can’t wait for tommorow’s concert” She said enthusiastically.
“What about my concerts?” He asked, and she bit her lip.
“I’ve only attended once” she said slowly, and he felt bad immediately.
“I wasn’t your fan before, yunno I told you I used to think of you as arrogant, but trust me I enjoyed it the one time I attended, I promise to start attending now that we’re friends, I promise!” She quickly said, and he smiled.
“Cross your heart”
“Yeah” she replied, placing her arm on her chest.
“When do you usually wake up?” He asked.
“As early as 5 if I sleep early, why did you ask?” She asked.
“I go for bicycle ride every morning, if you’re interested…
“I’m interested!” She interrupted.
“Tommorow morning, 6am, let’s meet at the intersection of your street” he said.
“But I don’t have a bicycle” she pouted.
“I’ll cover that, just come” he replied.
“Sure” she replied.
“JoJo” he suddenly called.
“Huh?” She faced him.
“I’m glad I’m with you right now” he said.
“Me too, I love being around friends” she replied, and they started smiling at each other.

10PM★ MYSTIC CULT HOUSE**
Draco was still looking so livid as he walked in, not looking sidewards till he assembled on the last spot.
Stone was already on the throne.
“Kavita, Kelly , Draco, you guys are going for survival of the fittest tommorow night, 10pm” Stone’s husky voice said through his mask.
? Why is it always them?
? We’re here too
? Why are they the ones who get the important missions
? I wanna go on survival of the fittest too
Members started murmuring amongst themselves.
“Silence!, Capo is on the throne!” Kavita shouted, and everyone went silent.
“Anyone who side talks will get beheaded” Stone said, and the silence became more deadened.
“The info of the target will be sent to your mails before due time, as usual the one who ki||s the target is getting promoted, this time … To number two” he announced, and Kelly smiled.
Kavita smiled secretly too, while Draco kept his expressionless look.
“Capo, I brought a new member” Kelly suddenly said, and everyone faced the door as a guy in hood came in.
Even without removing the hood, Draco knows who he is already.
Kent.
He finally removed the hood and it’s really him, he still has bruises on his face from yesterday’s beatings, and his head was still wrapped with bandage.
“You think this place is for weaklings?” Stone said.
“He’s stronger than he looks, a road accident made him like this” Kelly replied, and Draco smirked.
Road accident indeed.
“Weaklings join at their own demerit, you’ll lose your life before you know it” Stone said, and Kent went on his knees.
“I’m ready to take the risk, please take me in”

KLEIN’S MANSION★ 10:40**
Aurora smiled brightly when Draco came in, he’s spending the night in the mansion tonight.
“My prince charming” she beamed, and he smiled handsomely before coming in fully.
“Did you wait for long?” He asked as he knelt in front of her wheelchair and hugged her.
“No, I’m just glad you’re finally here” she replied, and he kissed her hair before releasing her.
“You look skinny, don’t tell me you haven’t been eating” she said, holding his face fondly.
“School stress, but I’ll get back to shape this weekend, it’ll be less” he replied, and she kissed his cheeks.
“You’re the only one I have, always eat well, sleep well and stay safe..
For me ok?” She said affectionately.
“Sure mum”
She saw the necklace on his neck and smiled.
“You still have it”
“It’s the only treasure I have to keep, I can never lose it” he replied, standing up.
“Now it’s time to get you to bed” he said.
“Sure, let’s go” Aurora replied, and he started pushing her wheelchair to her room.
Twenty minutes later, he finished putting her to bed and went to his room.
He had his night shower and slipped into furry sweatshirt plus joggers, then he sat on his bed.
He got a message from Kavita immediately.
*CAN YOU NOT SLEEP AT THE MANSION TONIGHT?, COME TO YOUR UNIT… I’M HORNY*
He hissed and another message came in on WhatsApp, from Viola.
It’s actually video, and he immediately played it.
She has a big bowl of chicken in front of her, eating and drinking beer.
“Brother!, I never knew chicken is as sweet as this I swear!, It’s my first time tasting it with beer and f*****k!!!, I want mooooore!!!”
She was screaming crazily as she ate in her computer lab.
Draco smiled and dialled her line immediately.
“Big brother!!!” She screamed.
“What did I tell you about drinking?, You’re just eighteen Viola” he said.
“But beer is sweet brother, I can’t resist it” she replied with a loud mouth.
“When are you gonna go back to school?” He asked.
“I’m not going back, I just wanna hack and be in love with computers till I die” she replied.
“Viola you’re…
“Bye brother!, I love you!!!, But I love chicken and beer more!!!” She screamed and hung up.
“Crazy girl” Draco said and sighed.
The next thing his mind went to…is JoJo.
He remembered how Șëx¥ she looked during the audition, and when she called him to come to the river, how she went there and met her with Butter.
The hug.
He stood from the bed immediately, then he stuck his hands in his pocket and walked to the door.
He opened it and shut it again.
“f-__-k” he muttered, resting on it.
