Don't Misunderstood!

A whole day has passed with Calix being completely ignored by Klein. He racks his brains to think of a possible solution for this when he remembered something

Dwayne! That guy is a real asshole!

If Calix informed Klein about how Dwayne was just trying to use him, won't he be forgiven for being such a 'good help'?

With that in mind, Calix nudge Klein with his shoulders yet the latter was still as cold as before

Calix would rather have Klein fight and shout at him all he wants than for him to be as silent as a statue. This is so not him! Klein should be screaming and being sarcastic at him already

"I know you're angry at me but you must know something" Calix started and although Klein didn't show it on his face nor action, his ears perk up a bit in curiosity. What does this guy possibly mean?

"Last night, when Shane dragged me, I went to the comfort room. And in there, I personally witnessed Dwayne talking to his father. And guess what? He was a complete homophobe! He just wants to use you, so if I were you, I will try to stay as far as possible from him"

Calix is ​​not the type of guy to prolong things. Since his mind was already set on speaking the truth, he didn't hesitate

Klein deserves to know the truth and his next actions would be up to him. Calix's conscience is clear now no matter what Klein's reaction would be

However, he didn't expect that it would be this intense

"So because you are a homophobic shithead, you also want to drag other people? Please! Senior Dwayne is a million times way better than you!"

This was the first time that he speaks again after the incident we can call 'dingdong' incident yet it was already this aggressive

His tone was not the same tone that he usually uses when arguing with Calix. It was filled with genuine anger

"I am telling the truth! I really heard him!" Calix tried to convince Klein but what he received was a death glare

Among all the people that Klein knows, Calix would be the most unreliable and untrustworthy one. Hence, his words only have the provoking effect even though he really means good

He genuinely wanted to help! He can't just let someone he knows get taken advantage of if he can avoid that. He is not that heartless!

"Save it, I won't believe someone like you" Klein replied coldly and Calix can only shake his head

"Fine, if you don't want to believe then so be it. At least, my conscience is clean. If you get hurt, don't say that I didn't warn you"

Calix gave up. Being mistaken for lying when you mean well is an unpleasant experience

He felt like he did his best to be kind but the person that he tried to help wants nothing but to throw him down a cliff

A long moment of silence passed between the two. It was an uncomfortable and suffocating silence but Calix soon can't take it anymore

Maybe because he felt guilty for harassing Klein, Calix wants to be forgiven

As a result, Calix poke Klein's shoulder but that just do him more harm than good

"Come on, don't be like that. Scream and curse me as long as you stop giving me the cold treatment" Calix almost pleaded. It was already close to nighttime yet the whole day was spent by the two on the couch doing nothing

Calix at least wants to talk (more like argue) with Klein to relieve his boredom. Why is this guy not talking when he needs him to talk the most?

Calix focuses on wooing Klein, trying to earn his forgiveness but even after a long time has passed, he was still unsuccessful

"HELLOOOO PEOPLE!"

Suddenly, the apartment door was burst open, revealing Shane that has a toothy grin on her face

Behind her was Cain that was smiling. "Yo!" Cain greeted

The two were originally enthusiastic at first but as soon as they sense the atmosphere in the air, the two immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva

Instead of cursing Shane as usual, Klein motioned for her to come closer to them with his finger

"Uh-oh" Shane muttered. There are levels to Klein's anger

Level 1 is the superficial one. He would just be angry at his words but he wasn't really genuinely angry

Level 2 is moderately angry. Klein would curse you but you will feel that his anger was far different from level 1. It was more intense

Level 3 is this. The silent and cold treatment. This means that Klein is a hundred percent angry.

Calix wouldn't be harm too much since he was not close with Klein and Klein cannot also win a physical fight. In this part, he was lucky

As for Shane... she is different. Once she incurred Klein's real anger, she must pray that the consequences wouldn't be that severe

"Take.it.off" Klein ordered, the authority in his voice causes Shane to do her best to remove the handcuff as fast as he can

She even hissed a bit at how red the wrist of the two was. Just what happened for Klein to be this angry?

Shane was still thinking about that when she heard Klein speak again. "Kneel"

It was just one word but the dominance and authority it contained were so powerful. Shane's body can't help but release cold sweats

Even Cain unconsciously did as what Klein said, he didn't even dare to look at his biggest crush's eyes. He is afraid, really afraid

"Phone" Klein said and Shane didn't dare cause any delay before she gave Klein's phone

As soon as he got his phone, Klein immediately dialed a number. The longer time has passed, the more nervous Shane becomes. She really is terrified right now

"Hello, Aunty Jane" Klein greeted the other person on the call, and Shane's eyes widened in shock

Jane... that is the name of her mother. For Klein to even call her parents, Shane can only pray to all the Gods and Goddesses out there

"Hello, Klein! To what do I owe the call? Oh wait, don't tell me that daughter of mine did something again?"

Since Klein put his phone on loudspeaker, everyone in the room can hear Shane's mother

She knew how much of a troublemaker her daughter was. For Klein to call her personally, there is a high chance that it was because her daughter did something wrong

"Yes, aunty. That's the reason why I called. Shane she—" before Klein can even finish his words, Jane already cut him off

"Oh, Klein. You don't need to explain it. We 100% trust you, unlike a certain daughter that we have. We know that you won't abuse your power"

Power... true, Klein really has power over Liam and Shane

The three are friends but the Shane and Liam... the woman is a huge troublemaker that just didn't know when to stop. That's her toxic trait, she is too playful to the point that she didn't know when she is going too far

The man on the other hand is a huge baby. Too innocent and naive for his own good. He was also too lazy

Out of the three, Klein is the most mature one. Although he also has his toxic traits, he was the most dependable out of the three

Liam is the precious little baby of his family while Shane is the only princess. Their families cannot punish them too much even if they did something wrong and it ends up being Klein's responsibility

Klein was like the mother of the group, helping and guiding the two. Since their families were too protective and indulging, that made it hard to educate them

The responsibility fell into Klein's shoulder and he has 'real power' over them

Since the parents of the three are even close with each other, that made it easier for Klein. He was the one that the parents of his friends trusted the most as they also knew the personality of their son and daughter

"If Aunty wants to have a detailed explanation, you can ask me any time. For now, is it alright for me to punish her?"

"Yes, yes, do what you think is right. B-but, p-please don't let her talk to me while she is still being punished and also don't tell me her punishment. My heart might not be able to take it "Jane replied quickly with fear in her voice

If Liam is the only child, Shane is the only girl from her immediate and extended family. You can already know how spoiled these two were

Jane can't even take hearing what her daughter's punishment would be. What should have been her responsibility was given to others since she knew that if Shane acted cutely, she wouldn't be able to discipline her

"Okay, aunty. I'll keep that in mind" Klein replied before ending the call and his hawk-like eyes stared at Shane that shuddered in fea
