The firefighting crew was embarrassed, but it was suddenly bewildered, but he was also bewildered. "Dry," he said, "Danin," he said. "The man vomited." “Do you want to live? You killed your child and you want to live? You piece of trash! You should die!”
“Dane!”
His colleagues, who were in a state of confusion, tried to stop him again as he grabbed the man by the collar with one hand and repeatedly punched him in the face with the other.
When five people rushed at him at once, this time Dane couldn’t shake them off. When they wrapped their arms around his armpits from behind and forcibly pulled him away, Dane shook his body and kicked the man with his legs. His colleagues barely managed to separate him from the man, taking blows from Dane’s punches and feet. Dane continued to yell at the paramedics who were urgently examining the unconscious man.
“Just leave him alone, I’m going to kill him! I’m going to kill him!”
“Dane, stop!”
“Calm down, stop now.”
“This is enough beating, I’m really going to die. Stop!”
Despite the repeated warnings from his colleagues, Dane didn’t calm down. His colleagues looked at each other in confusion as he continued to breathe heavily and glared at the man with bloodshot eyes.
Dane was sitting on the side of the road with his head down, holding an empty water bottle in his hand. The forensic team had already arrived and were searching for evidence inside the burned-out house. The man with blood clots had been taken to the hospital, and the police were said to be there to obtain the man’s statement. Dane would have to go to the police and make a statement soon. After all, he had messed up people with only guesses.
“It’s not even certain......”
Someone muttered, and another guy answered.
“There was no evidence of what that man had done.”
“It must have been that boy, since he came out of that house.”
“Still......”
Grayson glanced back at the arguing. The colleagues who had been whispering flinched at the cold expressionless face of the man who looked like a mask for a moment, and soon dispersed one by one as if nothing had happened. Even after everyone had disappeared, Ezra, who had been standing there with a troubled expression, sighed and patted Grayson on the back.
“Everyone is worried. If you sue them, Dane will have a headache and could even be disciplined by the higher-ups......”
Grayson smiled at those words. It was a stereotypical smile, but Ezra thought he understood what he was saying. Until he heard what he said next.
“Thanks for telling me, Ezra. I almost tied those bastards’ necks with a hose and hung them on a tree.”
The tone was light, but the content was fierce. Ezra blinked in surprise and looked up at him. Realizing that his words were not a joke at all, Ezra was taken aback and couldn’t continue speaking, but Grayson turned his gaze to Dane again and asked.
“Do you often do this?”
There was no subject, but Ezra immediately noticed and answered, “No.”
“This is the first time I’ve been this excited. I get sensitive when animals or children get hurt, but this is the first time I’ve been this close to killing someone...”
Grayson glanced at him as he shook his head.
“Do you know what happened to Dane?”
He asked why he was reacting like that. But Ezra just looked embarrassed.
“He rarely talks about himself, Dane. He only found out a few months after we worked together that he had a cat.”
Tsk, Grayson clicked his tongue in his mouth. There were just useless things here and there. There was no more value in talking, so he left Ezra and moved on. Dane was sitting on the floor alone where Grayson was headed.
Ah.
Grayson suddenly remembered. It’s the opposite of that day, he thought.
The day Dane rescued his ugly cat, he was the one sitting on the floor exhausted, and Dane was the one looking down from his feet, but this time their positions were reversed.
A shadow fell over Dane, who was just staring blankly at the floor. Slowly raising his head, Dane and Grayson’s eyes met. For a moment, the two just stared at each other. Grayson was the first to speak.
“Pretty, why is your face like this?”
Dane stared at his face without saying anything. How can I describe this feeling, that he was saying exactly what he said?
“Ha.......”
Dane sighed and ran his hand through his hair, muttering in a tired voice.
“That’s not what I meant, you idiot.......”
Since he has never experienced this situation, he has no idea what to ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) say. This man has to calculate and match the words that would normally come out naturally to a normal person. So without data, he has no choice but to copy what he heard or what others did. Dane was dumbfounded by the blank stare and said with a smirk.
“This is when you ask if you’re okay.”
“Are you okay?”
Grayson asked immediately. Dane looked at him quietly and nodded.
“Yeah, I’m okay.”
That was the end of it. He became silent again. Grayson still stood there, watching him, but he didn’t feel good. He waited for Dane to say something next, but Dane didn’t seem to open his mouth at all. In the end, Grayson himself spoke first.
“What happened? Why did you do that all of a sudden?”
Dane looked into the distance at the innocent question and answered in a voice without emotion.
“Just.”
The answer was so short. Grayson frowned. He suddenly realized how little he knew about him. All the people he had dated so far had told Grayson all the trivial things. About work, family, and everything about himself. Even the smallest things.
But Dane never said anything. His hometown, his family, his allergies, or even what colors he liked. Dane never said anything. Not before or after they started dating, not at all.
Grayson swallowed dryly, moving his throat. He had asked Dane out, but it was proof that Dane was not open to him at all. What difference was there between Grayson and the other firefighters? Of course, that was never supposed to happen. Grayson wanted to be special to Dane. Don’t make me laugh by treating him the same way.
“What happened?”
Dane didn’t respond to Grayson’s question. Grayson asked Dane again in a harsh voice, as he remained in the same position, looking off into the distance.
“What happened that made you so angry? Something bad happened, right?”
Dane, who had been sitting still for a while, slowly raised his head as he pressed him again. The expression on Grayson’s face was already clearly showing his rejection.
“You don’t need to know.”
At that moment, Grayson felt something surge up. He poured it out without any time to control or analyze it.
“Why? I’m dating you. Shouldn’t I know about you? About you, who you are! Tell me, I need to know. I have the right!”
His voice gradually grew louder, and later became closer to shouting. Dane’s face, looking at him, gradually hardened into a coldness. In an instant, a cold tension settled between them.
