He signalled for the bartender to keep the drinks coming, scowling when instead of a cocktail, a glass of water was placed in front of him. The bartender didn’t miss is look of disgust, leaning over the bar and whispered, “The boss would kill me if I let you drink anymore.” Aidan didn’t like the insinuation he was someone of importance to Kristof and required special handling.

Maybe he should leave, look for another establishment to drink at and yet Aidan couldn’t bring himself to move as a strange feeling settled over him. He cast his gaze over the bar again looking for danger, looking for… No, he wasn’t searching for them. Hadn’t come here hoping to see Kristof or Misaki, yet why else would he have wandered into a bar where the chances of seeing both men were high. Couldn’t deny that he wasn’t intrigued by the men his family expected him to choose from, while remaining determined that he wasn’t going to marry either of them.

And yet why did he feel as though that determination only went skin deep. A thought that scared him considering he wasn’t gay. No, his desire to learn more about the pair was nothing more than friendly curiosity. A need to discover what secrets they held from the rest of the world…

Why was Misaki so lonely, despite being a social butterfly flitting about the place with men desperate to have his attention. Aidan hadn’t missed the way Misaki’s smile never reached his eyes or the way he used words to deflect attention from his real self.

While Kristof was filled with an immense sadness and anger that he’d chosen to drown himself in. Hid it all behind an icy façade that kept everyone at arm’s length, and he wanted to know why. His curiosity piqued even more with Su-Jin’s comments that Kristof hadn’t always been this way.

And those thoughts scared him. Aidan had only met both men once, and brief meetings at that, yet they’d left an impression on him Aidan couldn’t shake. One that he’d not expected, and it frustrated, confused him.
