QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 35
Jason spent the rest of the day in his room. His heart heavy with regret, he was lost on what to do. His mind wouldn’t stop thinking about the crown prince of Aphidia but he couldn’t go to see him.
He had tried to meet him alone and explain that he didn’t mean to attack him but when he got to his room. The man was nowhere to be seen, he had gone missing.
Probably left to not see him. That made him feel even worse. He had spent the night in the crown prince’s room waiting for him to come back but he didn’t return.
He stared at his hands, in anger his hands moved in ways that he couldn’t understand. He was gifted with the power to control nature and who knew what more. But none of that could make him happy with the crown prince so far from him.
There were no words that he could say to change what had happened. He wished that the author would find him and see what happened. That she would have pity on him and edit that chapter and make it such that Sashina never comes into the room at that moment.
He was her loyal reader, it was the least that she could do for his loyalty. To help him not lose the crown prince, it was his only wish.
He didn’t care if he didn’t Sashina he just wanted to not have the crown prince hate him and distance himself from him.
Everything was going fine until she came into the room. He was bonding with the flirtatious prince and his friend but now neither of them was there anymore.
The prince had left and Amaru was also not to be seen. He was stuck there hoping that one of them would return.
Dark circles formed under his eyes as he had not gotten any sleep in the night. Tears threatened to flow down his eyes from the pain in his heart. He told himself that he was a man and a strong one, he won’t fall from this.
He would rise above it and his relationship with the prince would get better and stronger. He blinked his tears away, there was no point in crying when the tears would fall in vain.
It was impossible to push back the fear crawling inside of him. Warning him that he had lost the fight before even starting.
Unknown to him was a certain figure who stood by the window watching him. He stood with a cloak on hiding his face, he was unmoving and faced Jason intensely.
Jason brushed his hands on his arms. Spending the night uncovered when it was chilly made him cold. His own health was no concern for him, the fact that the crown prince was angry with him worried him more.
A third chance was all he needed. He had gotten his second chance yesterday, the author had helped him by including that weird plant in the plot. Getting his hair back created the perfect atmosphere for them to bond.
But his stupid self ruined the author’s hard work and now he needed another miracle to melt the crown prince’s heart so that he would give him a third chance.
He didn’t even realize that the feelings that drew him to the crown prince were getting stronger and stronger with his longing and his yearning.
Every moment that he spent waiting for the crown prince to return. Was a minute spent waiting for love, the question he failed to ask himself was when did he fall in love with the crown prince.
He wasn’t interested in putting a label on the relationship that he was forming with the crown prince and hence he has not realized that he had fallen in love with the man.
He kept his eyes at the door, he didn’t want to miss the prince when he came inside the room.
The figure by the window flew into the room, he removed his cloak letting it fall to the bed slowly without making any noise.
He removed his coat dropped on top of the cloak and quietly slid into the bed, he pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes to get some sleep. He didn’t bother to speak to the young prince seated in the middle of his room.
After having a long night with the mysterious man he was not in the mood to get into it with Jason.
Jason went on waiting for the prince. He didn’t even look back to see if the man had returned, his mind was tired and exhausted and he needed sleep. But his stubbornness kept him staring at the door hoping to see the beautiful face of the prince.
‘Just come back,’ he wished.
He brought his knees to his chest and hugged them. He had never found himself so desperate to see someone as he was in that moment.
The ache in his heart increased with each passing second, because of him the crown prince slept goodness knows where and he didn’t know whether he was safe or not.
If anything had happened to the prince he didn’t think that he would ever be able to forgive himself for it. It was his mistake and only he should be punished. For a non-believer, Jason was forced to fold his hands to the man upstairs and pray for him to return the crown prince home safely.
Feeling a cramp on his legs he got up from the floor, he stretched his hands in the air. “Perhaps I should leave and return when he is around,” he spoke half-heartedly.
He turned around to leave through the window as he came in, his eyes bulging out of his sockets in shock. The person that he was eagerly waiting for slept on the bed so soundly.
He looked so peaceful as he slept that Jason didn’t have the heart to wake him.. He was just happy and relieved that the male was fine and back where he belongs.
