Love Unspoken

Alexander said, "Forget about them for now. Let's head inside and clean up the house, or we'll be crashing at Maddox's place again tonight."

Quinn asked, "Are you sure we can just ignore them?" She was still a bit worried. Those two seemed to be going at it pretty hard.

Alexander reassured her, "It's fine. Don't stress. Trust me."

Quinn sighed and followed him inside to tidy up the house.

Outside, Sean and Kyle were still at it. Kyle took a few punches to the face. He didn't want to fight back, but Sean got him so riled up that he threw a punch, which only made Sean angrier. A couple more punches landed, making Kyle yelp. After a while, both of them, bruised and battered, walked to the square and sat down in silence.

The setting sun cast a mysterious glow on their faces.

After a bit, Kyle finally spoke up, "Did you really have to get so mad?"

Sean snorted, "What do you think? You went back, got married on the sly, and then didn't say a word when you came back. You were really secretive about it. What, were you afraid I'd steal your wife?"

Kyle glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? I knew you'd react like this, so I didn't tell you. I wanted to give you some time to accept it."

As he spoke, Kyle felt something was a bit off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After all, they had agreed to stay single together, and whoever got married would be a loser. Keeping Sean in the dark made him feel kinda guilty.

Sean said, "Why did you go back and get married out of the blue?"

Kyle replied, "Well, there's nothing much going on now. When you're lying in bed alone at night, don't you feel lonely?"

Without thinking, Sean said, "I don't. Only someone like you would."

Kyle said, "I don't want to argue with you. Anyway, I'm married now. What are you going to do about it?"

Sean turned his head and glared at him. After a while, he stood up angrily, "I'm breaking up with you!"novelbin

Kyle was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Sean ignored him and walked away on his own.

Kyle stared at his back for a long time.

He thought Sean was joking, but he was serious. He really intended to break up with Kyle. In the following days, Sean didn't speak to him at all. Every time he saw Kyle, he pretended not to know him or treated him like air. When Kyle tried to talk to him, Sean just ignored him, acting as if he didn't exist.

Kyle scratched his head. Was Sean really breaking up with him?

Quinn had been watching their interaction. To be honest, she didn't expect Sean to be so angry about Kyle getting married. She was increasingly suspicious that there was something fishy between them. She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild, uncontrollably picturing them.

Alexander handed her a plate of fruit and sat down beside her. "What are you looking at?"

Quinn raised her chin, indicating Kyle and Sean. "I can't help but feel that there's something unusual about their relationship."

Alexander said, a bit helpless, "You're so bored. You've been watching them every day, thinking about this?"

Quinn replied, "Well, there's nothing else to do. Our house is already built."

Alexander suggested, "You could go hang lights in the woods."

Quinn was taken aback and instinctively looked towards the forest ahead. There were people moving around. With Christmas just a few days away, everyone on the island was busy decorating the woods. From a distance, the woods were filled with colorful lights, decorated in a gaudy but joyful manner.
