Chapter 54 - CHAPTER 54: LEAKED KISSES & LOCKED HEART...

SCENE 1: 📸 THE SCANDAL BLOWS UP

The photo Rose secretly took?

She posted it.

Caption:

> "Good things come back to those who wait 💋 #firstlove #neverletgo"

Within minutes, it spreads like wildfire.

Twitter. Instagram. School groups. Even BL gossip forums are flaming.

💥 "Is Pete cheating on Mek with a billionaire heiress?"

💥 "I knew two boys couldn't last."

💥 "Poor Mek!"

Mek sees the post.

His heart doesn't just break. It shatters.

But he doesn't cry.

He goes silent. Cold. Unreachable.

Pete rushes to find him, barging into classrooms, hallways, even the damn janitor's closet—but Mek? Gone.

SCENE 2: 🥶 SILENT STORM

Mek avoids Pete everywhere.

He blocks his number.

Leaves his locker empty.

Doesn't show up to shared classes.

Even moves out of the dorm temporarily.

Pete spirals.

> "I didn't kiss her, Mek! She did it—I pushed her off!"

No reply.

> "Talk to me, please. Yell at me. Slap me. Just… don't shut me out."

Still nothing.

Mek is protecting his heart.

Because if he looks into Pete's eyes one more time… he might break.

SCENE 3: 💅 ROSE GLOATS (ugh)

Rose walks in with her high heels clicking like a villainess in a k-drama.

> "Don't look so sad, Petey. You were mine before him. You'll be mine again."

Pete doesn't even look at her.

> "You ruined everything. You're not a threat—you're just pathetic."

She slaps him.

Pete just turns and walks away.

SCENE 4: 🧊 AND THEN… A NEW CHARACTER ENTERS

Late at night. Mek is sitting on the rooftop alone.

A shadow appears beside him.

> "You're Mek, right?"

He turns.

It's Noah — a quiet, mysterious transfer student with sharp cheekbones, rings on every finger, and a soft voice like moonlight.

> "I saw the photo. I don't believe it."

Mek raises an eyebrow. "Why do you care?"

> "Because I know what betrayal looks like… and what love feels like when it's real."

Noah sits next to him. Close. Too close.

> "Sometimes… to heal, you have to let someone else remind you you're worthy."

Mek doesn't reply. But for the first time in days…

He lets someone sit beside him without flinching.
