Chapter 14- Cohabitation! (Part 1)

The group of bullies froze in their places as if they were hit by an ice storm that turned them into ice cubes.

They couldn't believe their eyes. A second ago, their friend was about to beat up the gloomy-looking kid and then he somehow ended up being thrown away tens of meters as if he was a ball.

Their fear didn't kick in until Kai uttered those words coldly. That's when they realized that they had screwed up… Screwed up really bad!

'What the fuck happened?! How is he this strong? Is that even humanly possible?' They all shared varying degrees of the same thought process.

"H-Hey, m-man, l-let's calm down. W-We're sorry, ya know?" One of them tried to speak in between his stutters and nervousness. However, with a simple look from Kai, he cowered away.

"I said the alley… Move there." He repeated his words.

*GULP*

"Let's fucking run!!" Suddenly, one of them shouted, and immediately, everyone scattered as they tried to run away.

"Why does everyone always choose the annoying way?" Rubbing the back of his head, Kai looked at the group before he unleashed a little bit of his aura.

*Smash*

The whole group instantly fell to the ground as if something heavy fell on them, crushing them in the process.

"W-What… Ugh!! Is happening?!"

"I-I'm being crushed!"

"Mommy!!!"

Kai then approached the group and stopped in front of them.

"Just for the record, who sent you?" He asked coldly.

"... W-We don't know man… Please, spare us?! Please!! We did it under the order of someone."

"Spare you?" Hearing that, Kai approached the one who said those words and crouched in front of him before he grabbed him by the hair and lifted his head up before he stared directly into his eyes.

"Why should I spare you? Is it because you are fearing for your life now? Or is it because you found out that you weren't going to be able to escape?"

The boy felt the blood drain from his face as he stared directly into Kai's eyes. Staring at his pupils was the most horrifying thing he ever experienced. Those void-like eyes were so terrifying for some reason. They weren't human at all. They lacked what make them feel human.

"I wanted to live my life peacefully and stay away from trouble. Yet, idiots keep trying to hinder my normal life. Why is that? Am I supposed to kill every pest just so I can have my peace? Huh? Do idiots like you spawn out of nowhere just to ruin my day?"

"...!!" The boy's mouth opened and closed.

"Destroying my apartment already ruined my day. I have no intention of letting any of you go. Actions always carry consequences and you must pay it for that. That's the rule of this world."

Then, Kai stood up and lifted the bully along with him from the hair. The latter shrieked from pain. After that, he walked around and grabbed each bully by the hair before he dragged them all to the ground to the hidden alley.

They all started begging and crying as they tried to resist Kai's mercy.

But, the latter didn't even bother to say anything. Eventually, they all disappeared inside the dark alley. A few seconds after that, loud screams and mind-chilling cries echoed in the whole park. However, for some odd reason, no one came for their help.

***

A few minutes later, Kai walked out of the alley. Then, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

The receiver immediately picked up the call.

"K-Kai? It's unusual that you call me first." Eva said with an extremely excited tone.

"My apartment had been completely destroyed." The boy replied.

"What?! Who… Oh!"

"Yes, it's your fiance. I should've predicted he will do such a thing. Anyway, can you find me a temporary place where I can live till I fix my apartment?" He said.

"..."

For some reason, Eva went silent completely for a few seconds which made Kai slightly confused.

"Eva?"

"Hm? Oh, sorry! Y-Yeah of course!" She said with a weirdly mysterious tone. "I actually have the perfect place where you can stay!"

"Hm?"

"Why don't you crash at my place? We have plenty of rooms. You can use one of them. Or… Y-You can use my room if you want." She said as she added the last part with a shy tone.

"..." Kai took a second to think about it.

Although he knew Eva simply wanted him to live with her if even for a few days. But, Kai had no other choice. He had no place he could stay until his apartment is restored. Besides, he had no belongings he could use to stay at a hotel.

"Fine. Give me the address."

"... I knew that you would refuse so I will try to find a house as qui-... Wait, what?! You agree?!"

"Yes."

"I-I-I-I see. Great! I mean, ehem, please wait for a second, I will send you the address right now!" After that, Kai hung up the phone.

***

On the other side, Eva was on cloud nine. She couldn't believe that her suggestion will be accepted.

"Kai… In my house?! Oh no, I don't know if I can handle this. Me and him… Together… Uh, I think I will have a heart attack." She murmured as she touched her heart which was beating loudly.

No one would be able to understand how happy Eva was. This was the best news she had in years. The mere idea of being under the same roof as her beloved would make her grin like an idiot.

"Oh, right! The address!" Immediately, she sent Kai the details before she laid down on her bed and looked up. Her hands instinctively hugged the phone to her ample chest.

"Kai… I need to welcome him properly! Mia!" Immediately, Eva stood up again and called for her maid.

***

An hour passed before Kai finally reached Eva's house. He had to go around buying some necessities for the few days he will stay there like towels, toothbrush, and other things. Luckily, his money is in a credit card and he always carries it with him so no cash was stolen from him.

The house he found himself in front of was quite eye-catching even in the luxurious neighborhood he was in. It was an overkill through and through yet also quite beautiful to look at from the outside.

As he was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened and someone ran outside.

"Kai!" Eva immediately jumped on her beloved and hugged him tightly.

The latter didn't move for a few seconds before he finally pushed her away gently.

"Is there anyone who lives here apart from you?"

"No no. It's only me and my maids, chefs, cleaners, and gardeners."

"..."

"Anyway, come on in. I will show you around!" Grabbing Kai by the hand, she walked him inside.

The interior of the house was as amazing as the outside if not better. It had a beautiful mix between a modern design and an older one. Kai estimated the cost of the house to be at least a few tens of millions.

"This is the dining room! Although it looks fancy, it's my least favorite place in the house. Eating here alone is horrible. Besides, the food tastes subpar compared to yours." Eva said.

After that, she showed him a few other places until they stopped in front of one particular room.

"And this… This is my room." Eva said with a slightly blushing face.

The interior of the room wasn't eye-catchy per se but it definitely had traces of Eva all around the place.

Kai took a look inside with a rather bored look.

But, even that simple act, made Eva's face sweat profusely.

'He's looking inside my room! Oh no! This is nerve-wracking! Does it smell bad?! Should've I organized it more? Or maybe he will find something weird and off-putting!! Ugh!!' She thought as she tried to keep her smile from crumbling.

"You are quite minimalistic for a rich milady," Kai commented.

"Ah, yeah, haha, I don't like fancy things. There are more important things than money out there."

After that, Eva led Kai outside and to the room right next to hers.

"This is your room! I made sure to prepare it before you arrived! I also bought some clothes in case you need any. They will arrive an hour from now. Also, the bathroom is inside so you don't need to go out."

Kai nodded his head and walked inside.

"If you need anything, I'm right next to you. You can come to my room whenever you want… At night too~" She said while keeping the last part to herself.

After that, Eva closed the door and walked away in high spirits.

'Not bad.' Kai thought as he looked around the place. Although he was more familiar with the old room that he lived in for the past 5 years, this room was technically way better.

"A few days shouldn't be a problem." He murmured as he walked toward the mirror inside the bathroom.
