4 am

Shaylon awakes founding himself in his own private room. Feeling lightheaded from one glass of beer, his whole body is currently weak. As he tries to get up, he felt a weight on his left side. He looks over what he felt, it turns out to be Konstantine who slept over.

Seeing his bare body, he remembers what happened last night. He couldn’t help but stare at him, combing his bangs with his fingers to see his sleeping face. All of a sudden, that woke him up.

“Morning Cameron.”, Konstantine sees Shaylon, remembering last night. “Morning.”, replying to the greeting, he lays back on the bed. “You really constructed to dominate my ass.”, “Do you really have to remind me?”, he hits Konstantine with a pillow as he said that.

They laughed at each other as Konstantine pulls Shaylon for a hug. “Ow!”, “Woah, are you okay?” Shaylon got concerned by Konstantine’s grunt. “Did you really have to ask that considering last night?”, Konstantine reminds the actions Shaylon had done to him. Remembering, Shaylon responds in an uncomposed manner, “Oh, right. Sorry.”

“Can you still walk?”, “I can manage.”, Konstantine replied to Shaylon concerning his hips. However, as he sits up he wonders the scenario again. It became a tug-of-war in his mind between Shaylon and Riley.

Shaylon notices the stress from Konstantine again. He went closer to him and asks, “What’s wrong?”, Konstantine thought hard on what he should do. He leaned to Shaylon and asks, “I can come back anytime, right?”, Shaylon looked at Konstantine as he asked, he realizes that Konstantine wanted to be closer. He put his hand on Konsantine’s shoulder and responds, “Of course you can.”, both pull each other for a hug signaling their bond.

After they put their clothes back on and left the room, both said their farewells as Konstantine went back to his car. “Guess this will be my routine while I’m on my break.”, Konstantine said to himself as he drove off.

Timeskip Summary

In a span of 6 weeks, Konstantine and Shaylon hang out together, whether it is normal or sexual depending on their mood. Konstantine enjoyed being around Shaylon as much as he does. Shaylon took him to arcades, restaurants, even a mall to get anything of their own satisfaction.

As for Riley, he continued with his work, as usual, finalizing documents in PSA offices. He kept his promise to Konstantine that he wouldn’t tell anyone about that night, but yet not aware of his continued involvement. Making sure that Sir Davis doesn’t know, he simply said that the date resulted in the friend zone. However, since the dinner-table incident, he still blames himself for not doing something earlier before the one nightstand.

6 weeks later, 2 pm

There are 4 weeks left before Konstantine goes back to his duties as a spy. He looks at the calendar while wondering about Shaylon. While all of a sudden, his phone ring. He picks up his phone and sees a notification of a message from Shaylon. He opens his messages and the chat goes.

The Text Conversation of Konstantine and Shaylon:

Shaylon: Can we meet up?

Konstantine: Where?

Shaylon: At a park near riverside.

Konstantine: What time?

Shaylon: Make it at 5 pm.

Konstantine: Okay, I’ll be there.

Konstantine is unsure what is going to happen due to different events as they hang out together. Regardless, he prepares himself to meet up with Shaylon. Going out with a White hoodie, grey baseball jersey, black pants, and Jordan Wolfgreys.

5 pm, Riverside Park

Konstantine arrives and sees Shaylon sitting at the grass near the river. He noticed that his facial expression showcasing stress. Worried of what is going on in his head, he confidently went up and greeted him, to which he greeted back.

He sat beside Shaylon, awkward silence between the two for a few minutes. He has no choice but to call out from seeing his expression. “Is there something wrong?”, Shaylon sighs and answers, “Yeah, there is.”, it took Konstantine to a shock. “Why is that?”, Shaylon looked at Konstantine as he asked and responds, “Don’t get me wrong, those days of you and me hanging out is fun,”, Konstantine gets more worried of what’s to come as he continued, “But there are other people that I care for.”, “I mean, it’s not like we are going out romantically, right?”, Konstantine gets astonished of what Shaylon just said.

He had no choice but to go with the flow and responds, “Yeah, you’re the owner of a club anyway.”, he looks back on the days they hangout and feels regret. “I’m sorry for you doing everything for me.”, Shaylon didn’t want Konstantine to be sad over what happened. He responded comforting Konstantine, “It’s not your fault. I did it under my own volition.”

Both are stressed from the conversation leading to a downfall. “Cameron, it’s not like I never wanted to see you again,”, Shaylon takes a deep breath and continues, “I just need time for myself and others.”, “I understand.”, Konstantine replied without even looking at him.

“Not even one last thing?”, Shaylon doesn’t know what Konstantine’s talking about, asking, “What’s that?”, “Nevermind.”, Konstantine gives up in that response. He stands up and gets ready to leave.

“Guess we’ll part from here. See you.”, “Wait!”, Konstantine turned around as he heard Shaylon. He pulled Konstantine for a hug, to which Konstantine hugged back. For a few seconds, they held that hug long until they let go.

“See you around, Cameron.”, Konstantine has nothing left, respecting Shaylon’s decision. All he could say is, “You too.”, both then depart and head back to their own vehicles.

Before Konstantine drove off, he looked back again at the time he and Shaylon are together. Realizing that Shaylon only sees this as a friendship, only one word is uttered to himself, “Fuck.”

10 pm, Konstantine’s Apartment

Konstantine lays in his bed, thinking of what to do as he still has 4 weeks left. Still hurt by the friend-zoning of Shaylon, he couldn’t think straight. He looked at his cellphone and tries to think of something, only to worry about Riley. He didn’t want to involve Riley again due to no communication since the dinner-table incident, and figuring Riley also wants no part of it.

As he looked back at the time he has been helpful to Riley, he sees the reliability he gave to his co-workers. Because of that, he realizes something. He grabs his phone and figures that it is something that he must do.

He unlocks his phone, goes to his contacts, and scrolls through. There is one person that he needs to talk to. Someone who he relied on for a long time. And that is the Executive President of PSA, Sir Davis.
