'Wait, I'm Supposed to Become a Goddess?! But I'm a Guy!'

Reaching until beyond the length of his feet, like a long black curtain and also wide, and in a sense, such a scene only made him look ethereal.

Mesmerizing even, coupled with his ruby-like pair of eyes, a deep hue of red that glistened under the gentle ray of the sunlight, it made the person that was secretly spying on him breathe a little quicker.

"urk" Mize grumbled in a soft crackling voice, albeit even crisp to one's ears.

Pushing his body upwards as the hair alongside the sheet followed along from behind, trailing the curve of his body as he sat on the bed with his thighs enclosed together.

The hair sprawled behind like a black waterfall, and the ruby-like eyes innocently looked around the room as he was slowly regaining his dull senses.

"Morning... to myself" he yawned, one hair over the mouth with the other hand stretched.

The stretching was a bit more sensual than what the stalking figure had anticipated, the grunting and soft moaning as Mize stretched and pulled his body, the curves that were highlighted while doing so, and the soft blush on the face.

'This girl is driving me insane' muttered the mysterious figure that was hidden in the shadows.

And who else could the mysterious figure be other than the freak yama Liam himself, hidden in the shadows of the room as he was silently observing the beautiful doll-like figure that was slowly stretching.

"Huff... " Mize hummed, more like a gust of breathing as he exhaled slowly, slowly rising to his feet as he approached the mirror in the corner of the room.

Overlooking the current appearance with a sense of appreciation.

'Now then... ' He murmured within, his eyes trailing off towards the hustle and bustle of the city outside of the window.

'Should I skip school for today and just come on Wednesday for the ceremony?' After all, he doesn't want to be hunted and reprimanded by the teachers of all the classes he had accidentally skipped yesterday.

And the most obvious reason was to avoid the freak yama from last night, Mize shuddered at the thought of meeting that guy.

It wasn't the feeling of disgust or anything, but more like flustered as whenever he was with him, he would have no control over the situation.

'T-though... ' He hesitated for a moment, his ruby-like eyes faltered over this sudden unwanted thought that he shouldn't have. 'I kinda like... being dominated?'

AYO

Mize suddenly hunched down, hands clasped against his head as he whimpered under these sudden strange thoughts.

His eyes spun around his face flustered in red over this bizarre perverted thought that just occurred in his mind.

'W-who would be like to be dominated like an idiot... hahahah' He brushed it off with a single thought.

But really, this thought was like a seed, slowly sprouting at the back of his mind and in the future, it might become a part of his whole personality.

And despite seemingly he had gotten rid of that thought, he still buried his face in between his knees on the ground, while hunched over squatting before the mirror, shifted his gaze slightly towards the mirror, and what glistened back would be the moist pair of eyes that stared back at him.

'Crying easily had become my new personality huh... now I am more like a damsel in distress 24/7 rather than a princess' He mused at the thought of this, shaking his head slightly.

Slowly rising to his feet yet again, and as he was doing so...

Ding Dong

The front door of his house rang, catching his thoughts at the moment as he stared towards the front door from his room.

The door of his room was opened, and down the hallway, he could easily see the front door from there.

"Who? the landlord?" Mize mumbled to himself, confusion etched onto his face as he was slowly walking down the hallway towards the door.

He didn't bother to check the door camera, unlocking the door from within as he flung it open gently.

It was a small crack at first, trying to discern who it was, but when he saw the strange piece of clothing as the door was slowly unfolding itself before him until its full view, Mize's mind went blank for a moment.

Discerning the unmoving calm smile on the man's face that still hasn't changed since last night...

"Good morning... " Liam smiled, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and the plain black shirt that he wore alongside the casual pants, made him look more like a model compared to his usual self from yesterday.

"..." Mize couldn't say anything, well... he can't.

He could just wryly smile as he forced himself to calm down.

Calm down to what exactly?

Well, to the fact that this guy was aware of what his room number was...

Mize shoved the door slowly, trying to close it down on the guy's face.

But it was futile as Liam simply held the door with one hand, and smiled innocently...

"What are you doing, Mimi? Are you trying to close the door on me?" He said pleadingly.

But in Mize's eyes, this bastard is just a vicious snake in sheep's clothing...

"YES," Mize smiled back, an innocent smile too in response to Liam's sheepish act.

"I would love to close the door on a stalker who now somehow knows where I live and my exact room number"

Gasp!

Liam made a shocked face, one hand over his mouth as he hurriedly responded with a worried look.

"Who could that stalker be?" He shook his head, his eyebrows frowning...

"What a bad security this place has... I wonder, Mimi... how about you come and live at my house... it's much safer there..."

Thud

Mize simply closed the door on the man's face, not wanting to hear the full sentence of what he had to say.

Turning his gaze from the door he began to slowly make his way back to his room while stretching... "I am too lazy to deal with that"

But then...

Ding... clicked

"..."

The door password was unlocked from the outside, a hand reaching in to push, as Liam slowly made his way in under the deadpan gaze that came from Mize.

"I... " Mize wanted to say something... anything... hell... he wanted to curse even.

But Liam simply shook his head, shoving the door left and right, "What a bad security system for the door, it's broken!"

"..."

sigh

'Do whatever you want then... but... Mize turned around, his gaze fierce, "Don't you dare come into my room, go and sit in the living room while I am taking a bath"

"Okay," Liam smiled, striding forth towards the right passage as if he knew the house better than he should've.

Mize couldn't say anything about this, 'This guy is a maniac... a maniac with a golden finger!'

'And also... ' Mize paused for a moment upon the door that had been closed by Liam just now. 'The security of this place is bad, that's unfortunately true... '

Mize then went to take a bath, it didn't take long after all who knows what that freak would do if he left the guy unattended for a long time.

Since he wasn't planning to go out today, he simply wore an oversized shirt that covered until half of his thigh, and the rest was left for the people's imagination.

Of course, he wore a short pant, but from the outside, it looks like he only wore a shirt with no pants.

Coming into the living room, he then sat down on one of the two couches that existed there, with one leg over the other, he began to twirl his hair absent-mindedly, completely oblivious to the smiling figure that sat on the other couch, looking over him with interest.

The two didn't speak, Mize wasn't interested in speaking anyway since he would always be on the losing side.

And for Liam, he would occasionally steal glances towards Mize's thigh and whatever was under it, as if his eyes could see through the fabric.

And from the look that he was giving, it looked more like a predator that was ready to pounce on its target.

Mize naturally noticed this, his frown for a moment, with a tinge of red on his cheeks, pulling the shirt below a little. "Can you not look here and look at my face instead"

"Oh... well" Liam's gaze was caught, but he wasn't the one to get embarrassed easily, instead he enjoyed the thrill. And he commented, a casual glance towards where Mize's half-exposed thigh was...

"I can't help it, you know"

"Huh?"

"You wearing like this... " He leaned in forward, one hand over his chin with his other hand placing the flower bouquet on the table... "it's like you are inviting me to eat you whole right now"

Hiccc

Mize shuddered upon his words, his face turned to the side for a moment as he fanned his face with his other hand.

Seemingly to blow away the invisible steam that was radiating from his face. "You are talking nonsense... "

"Well... I am just being honest, Mimi" Liam smiled innocently.

"And please stop calling me, Mimi or whatever the hell you get that from" Mize added in, fanning his face as he turned his gaze back onto the table.

He was looking towards the bouquet, it was red as his eyes, and the other half was black as his hair.

He curled his lips for a moment, his eyes drifting to meet the guy's unwavering deep as the abyss pair of gaze.

"What is this for?" He pointed casually, almost like he were hinting that he doesn't care what it is...

"It's a flower... " Liam said, one hand reaching forth as he plucked two flowers from the bouquet, one of red and the other of black... twirling it before his eyes as he gazed back towards Mize.

And this time, the gaze was more of appreciating something...

"I saw it in the flower shop, and it reminded me of you so I bought them"

Mize crossed his arm for a moment, his lips curled under, though his eyes betrayed the so-called indifferences that he wanted to exude from his body.

'it must be within the line of acting' He muttered within, closing his eyes for a moment before opening it back, his voice crisp and yet delicate... "Is this some type of confession, Liam?"

"Well... " Liam paused for a moment, placing the flowers back onto the table and rearranging them into the bouquet back, and it looked as if it had never been touched in the first place. "Aren't you already mine to begin with" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Bold words... " Mize replied curtly, though the curl from the corner of his mouth said something entirely different, and to this...

Liam simply savored this adorable side of Mize that he wasn't aware of.

After all... 'You are my only target... but I can't help but slowly adore you more and more'

His eyes gleamed for a split second at the thought of this as Mize was oblivious to the quick changes that had just occurred.

"Do whatever you want and don't disturb me... " Mize said simply, waving his hand as if he were shooing a dog away from the gesture of it.

Opening his phone with the swipe of his fingerprints and overlooking the messages that he had failed to reply to since last night.

'Oh... Derek messaged me?' Mize raised his eyebrows for a moment, but it was to be expected...

After all, this guy was quite the dog-licking person, even to the point that he was willing to send him thousands of dollars just to get his attention.

'A pity that if I were to chat with him more, it might bring him danger instead... ' Mize paused in his typing, his eyes glancing over from the corner, looking over the smiling and calm man on the other side, as he too was playing on his phone as of now...

'He's playing phone too huh... he seems more like a normal guy now compared to him seconds ago' Mize mused, thoughts flickering as his attention snapped back towards the phone, as he began to type...

But then... Derek messaged first, seemingly to notice that Mize was typing as of now.

[How are you doing?]
