Shun felt his heart start to beat a little faster. It was a mixture of fear and anticipation. Since he lost his mories, he had started seeing behind the façade that Wang Che had built. But he was not certain what was covered.
In the past, he used to call Wang Che evil, but it had to do with the way the man teased him endlessly.
Now, he knew that Wang Che used that vampire prince deanour and the constant teasing hid sothing else. The prospect of knowing this person was exciting, but it was also frightening. This mont would define their future relationship.
Wang Che pulled Shun to a couch, and the two of them were beside each other. Shun turned his body slightly to look at Wang Che's side profile.
"I want to know," Shun said in a low voice. "I want to know everything."
Wang Che sighed before he fird his resolve. He had co too far to turn back and beco a coward again. He needed to tell Shun everything.
"I rember the first ti I saw you. I an, I had seen you around, but I rember the first ti I really saw you. You probably cannot rember it because it was just a random eting of the eyes. But it changed my life." Wang Che said.
Shun felt a little confused because he was waiting for a major revelation, not that the confession was not welco.
"At the ti, I was planning to kill my brother." Wang Che added.
Shun's mouth fell open in shock. He was expecting sothing monuntal, but he did not expect to hear such words. He was struck speechless. He knew that Wang Che did not get along with his family, but he did not know things were that serious.
"Che…" He said, reaching out his hand, wanting to comfort Wang Che.
Wang Che caught the slender and refined hand in his own. "No, do not say anything. I need to get it all out. If I do not tell you everything right now, I might never have the courage to do it later. Once I am finished, you can decide if you want to stay with ."
Shun nodded. But he also noticed that Wang Che kept holding his hand. The feeling of the larger hand encompassing his own was comforting and gave him great pleasure. So, he did not pull back.
"When I was younger, I was not as popular with my parents as my brothers. I did not mind it because I never planned to inherit the family business or anything like that. You know, I wanted to beco a scientist or a detective as a child." Wang Che said wistfully.
Shun tried to picture it and thought that Wang Che might have made a great detective. As for a scientist, he was not sure he could see Wang Che stuck in a lab all day.
"Everything was fine through the years because I had good friends. Qi Han and Mo Ge might not have good reputations in Supre City, but they were good to . I never felt like I was lacking anything, even with my family ignoring ." Wang Che continued.
"When I got into high school, I tried to be a little more outgoing. I joined a couple of extracurricular activities. It was partly to avoid going ho. I was a little tired of the environnt, and it was a waste of ti to go back early." Wang Che paused. "It was at that ti that I t my first girlfriend."
Shun's eyes widened. He rembered the story that Wang Che told him while massaging him. "Is this the reason you wanted to kill your brother?"
Wang Che chuckled despite his grave mood. "What do you think of ? I am not that petty. I told you that it was not as complicated as it seed to outsiders. We had a good relationship based on similar interests."
Shun was a little unsure if Wang Che was just saying. "It is alright if you loved her you know."
Wang Che lifted the hand he was holding and kissed Shun's knuckles lightly with a deep laugh. "You are too adorable. I promised I will tell you everything. And I am telling you everything."
Shun nodded with a light shade of pink on his cheeks. For the first ti, he did not feel that barrier between him and Wang Che. He did not feel like anything was being forced, even as Wang Che made that cringe-y show of affection.
It felt real.
"One of the clubs I joined was for young entrepreneurs. I joined it casually, but it turned out that I was pretty gifted in business. So, when a competition was announced, the teacher in charge nominated for a slot. Naturally, I won." He said.
"Naturally!" Shun could not help giggling a little at the arrogance in Wang Che's voice.
Wang Che also chuckled at Shun's comnt. "The win ant that the Wang family was awarded a major governnt project. It turned things around for the company. My parents were extrely appreciative of my efforts, but my eldest brother was not."
Shun's face changed. Even though he was born in a peaceful family where no one wanted to inherit their parents' wealth, he knew the infightings in most of the wealthy families. He had seen them in Supre City. He could guess where the story was going.
"I think my brother was waiting for my fifteen minutes of fa to end, but he could not be patient enough. He got more obsessed with my perceived success. His imagination led him to believe that I was going to take his place as the heir." Wang Che's brows tightened.
Shun did not know how he could offer up comfort. But when he felt Wang Che's fingers tighten around his hand, he knew that he was already doing all he could do.
"I am not sure how my eldest brother got in contact with so nasty people in the criminal world. He sent so people to kidnap . I am not sure what deal they made. From what I could piece together, the agreent was for the kidnappers to get the ransom and then, kill ."
Wang Che's voice beca gruffer.
