Hearing the positive response from Evan—after calling him Eron—Aryan's mind froze. He never thought it would turn out to be true. Yet one question struck him harder than anything: why did Evan hide the truth from him? Why make him play the fool?
Instead of joy, the truth only hurt. The years of trust he had built around Eron crumbled in a single moment. Then another thought crossed his mind. 'What about the original story? The villain's fated one was supposed to be the heroine—how did it become me, the one he destroyed in the original plot? Did the novel's content change? Was it because of me?'
Thinking back, Aryan realized he had always acted differently when it came to Eron. 'But can someone's preference really change like that? It doesn't make sense. How could a straight guy suddenly fall for another man?'
"What should I do? Wait—what if it's all a misunderstanding? Maybe he's drunk and I heard wrong…" he muttered, trying to deny the obvious.
