Don’t Misunderstood! - Chapter 98
Liam continue to sing until he finished the whole song titled ‘Fire and Ice’. It was his new favorite song and he looked at Tristan while feeling proud of himself
“You’re good” Tristan gave him a compliment and Liam was instantly filled with smiles
Tristan has become someone that helps Liam have confidence. At first, Liam was too shy to play the piano or sing a song but now, he wasn’t as shy anymore
However, that was of course only in front of Tristan. To other people, Liam would still be unable to showcase his talent
“Hehehe, want me to teach you?” Liam offered cheekily and Tristan nodded his head
The tall man went to grab another stool and he placed it next to Liam, intending to receive the little guy’s ‘lesson’
“Okay! The first note is…” Liam started to play the first note and had Tristan repeat it
Since Tristan is not new to piano, it was easier for him to learn how to play a song. However, to continue increasing Liam’s confidence, he deliberately played some notes wrong
If he learned too fast, it might dampen Liam’s enthusiasm
Minutes passed as the two played the piano together. They don’t talk much but each other’s presence gave them the feeling of peace and comfort
“Wow, you’re really talented! I’m sure that you’ll learn this new song if you continue practicing for some more time!” Liam exclaimed, not knowing that Tristan’s skills were higher than what he had seen
“Hmm, how about this, if you managed to play the song to a satisfactory level, I’ll give you a reward!” Liam suggested
Every time that Tristan urge him to learn something, that man would always bribe him with a reward. The reward was most of the time food as that is something that Liam preferred to receive
Liam only intended to give food as a reward but Tristan’s eyes unconsciously stared at the little guy’s pinkish lips
‘Hmm, reward’ Tristan thought in his mind before throwing this idea at the back of his head. There is no way that Liam would give that kind of reward
“But now, I’m hungry again hehehe” Liam said with a cheeky smile. He ate not long ago but he wants to eat again
It was a miracle that he still hasn’t become fat due to how much he eats
“Alright, let’s go” Tristan suggested and both of them stood up from their seats to go find some food

In a certain part of the mansion, Klein can be seen. His back was rested on the wall while his face has a dazed expression on it
Sometimes his cheeks would turn red and sometimes a weird expression would form on his face
He looks like someone that was not in the right state of mind. People that would see him might even think that he turned insane
“Damn that bastard, what does he mean I should go meet him in the garden?” Klein asked to himself
Just remembering about it makes his insides tingle but the scared part of him was turning his emotions into anger to mask his true feelings
“Hmph, I wouldn’t go there even if he were to drag me. Let him rot while waiting” Klein convinced himself and he even nodded his head while feeling satisfied
However, that mood of his didn’t last long as another thought entered his mind
If he went into the garden would Calix kiss him? Would they kiss for the 6th time?
Somehow, Klein had an urge to go. He wants to see if Calix will really kiss him and he also kind of want it
However, when Klein realizes what kind of thoughts he was having, all his emotions instantly turned into anger
He was not only angry at Calix for spouting such ‘bullshit’ but he was also angry at himself for wanting to receive a kiss
As a result, Klein faces the wall before slamming his head into it
“Wake up, Klein! Don’t let that bastard get to you!” Klein said to himself, not noticing that there were two pairs of eyes currently looking at him
“What are you doing to your head?” Liam asked while looking at Klein as if he was weird
His voice causes Klein to jolt in shock and the guy almost fell to the ground if he didn’t stabilize himself by grabbing the wall
“W-what are you doing here” Klein questioned in surprise. He didn’t expect that someone would see him acting insane. That was embarrassing
Liam naturally wouldn’t say that he was practicing and his little mind worked to think of an idea to change the topic when he remembered something
Shane said that Calix scared Klein. Could the reason why Klein is acting this weird was because he was still scared?
While feeling proud of himself that is ‘very smart’, Liam gave Klein a teasing look
“Hehehehe, are you that scared of Calix?” Liam asked while poking Klein on the side
Although Klein didn’t laugh as he is not ticklish, Liam felt that his friend’s reaction was normal
“No way! Really? Did Calix really do something to you? What is it? How did he scare you?” Liam became curious at whatever method Calix does to make Klein scared, not knowing how frightened his friend was earlier
Fortunately, it seems like Liam doesn’t know what is happening between him and Calix. This made Klein relieved and he immediately swatted Liam’s hand as if it was a fly
“It was nothing! I have to go!” Klein said before walking away in a fast manner, almost running as he was afraid that Liam would ask more questions
“Eh? Not fair! I also want to know how to make Klein scared!” Liam muttered in a pout while watching Klein’s retreating back
——
In the evening, everyone gathered in the courtyard. There were some grillers in there and some people were cooking barbecue
This is the last day that they would shoot for now as they still have classes tomorrow
They would then come back almost every day but they wouldn’t be able to have a sleepover again until the next weekend
Fortunately, except for the student coordinator, everyone is still just first-year college students. They don’t have many classes yet and their time is mostly free except when there were exams
Since the set is just close to the university, they could just come when their classes are over
It was fortunate that the student coordinator informed the writers to write most parts of the story in a single location since they can’t move from one location to another
The group was having fun while eating, drinking, and chatting. This is like a small celebration on their part as they start shooting their series
The sounds of glasses hitting each other and the students’ loud voices rang around
Fortunately, the mansion only has them. It also has a wide territory and even if they shout, there would be neighbors that would be disturb
“Drinking is really the best!” Shane stated after drinking a mouthful of beer. She even releases a long breath as she felt the familiar stinging sensation in her throat
“I wouldn’t be surprised if one day you suffer from kidney failure” Klein said. With how much his friends drink alcohol, that is not an impossible future
“I at least I lived my life well unlike a certain someone here” Shane rebuked and Klein just rolled his eyes
“Anyway, what’s wrong with your boyfriend? He seems to have been sulking for a long time already” Klein asked while watching Cain murdering the barbecue in the plates using the stick
“Don’t mind this asshole” Shane replied and she just gave Cain another glass of beer to drink
This guy was heartbroken that his ‘Goddess’ was corrupted by a certain mortal
Seeing that, Klein just shrugs his shoulders. He thought he that Cain was just sulking because of something that Shane did
Klein just continue eating he felt someone tugging the edge of his shirt and he saw Liam with eyes filled with hope
“Kleeeinnn, tell me how Calix scared you please?” Liam pleaded. He really wants to know what Calix did and use it on Klein when needed
Hearing that question, Klein’s expression instantly darkened. Here he was trying his best to forget about Calix that is currently missing in action yet someone just has to remind him of that bastard
This made Klein really furious!
“Ask again and I’ll poke your eyes using this stick” Klein threatened while holding the stick in front of him
Liam immediately cowered while Shane shook her head at him
The little bastard really has no tack. How is he not aware of how much of a scaredy-cat Klein is?
Not to mention, after hearing that name, Cain also turned into a provoked feline that used up a huge amount of Shane’s energy to calm down
“But why is Calix not here? Gasp! Is he preparing to scare Klein again?!” Liam exclaimed after a while further putting him in Klein’s bad light
