**Chapter 3: The Aftermath**

The memories of their perfect relationship now seemed like a distant dream, one that Kian couldn't shake off. He and Miles had been the epitome of a perfect couple, known as the "cutest gay couple" in school. But on this fateful night, Kian walked into their bedroom to find Miles making out with another guy. His world was shattered, and he felt like he had been punched in the gut. Kian's eyes widened in shock as he took in the scene before him. Miles and the other guy were so engrossed in their moment that they didn't even notice Kian standing there. For a few seconds, Kian was frozen in place, unsure of what to do. He felt like he had been betrayed, and his heart was racing with anger and sadness. As reality set in, Kian's body reacted, and he stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. He couldn't bear to see Miles and the other guy together, and he didn't want to hear any explanations. He just wanted to get away from the pain and the heartache. Miles chased after Kian, calling out his name and apologizing, but Kian didn't want to hear it. He ran to his room, locked the door, and collapsed onto his bed, tears streaming down his face. He couldn't believe that the person he loved could betray him so deeply. The next few days were a blur for Kian. He barely ate or slept, and he stopped attending social events. His friends and family tried to console him, but nothing seemed to work. He felt like he was living in a nightmare, and he couldn't wake up. Miles tried to reach out to Kian, to explain and apologize, but Kian was resolute in his decision to move on. He blocked Miles' number and avoided him at school. He couldn't bear to see him, and he didn't want to hear his excuses. As the days turned into weeks, Kian started to realize that he had been living in a bubble. He had been so caught up in his relationship with Miles that he had ignored the warning signs. He had been blind to Miles' infidelity, and now he was paying the price. Kian's heart was still raw, and he couldn't help but wonder why Miles had cheated on him. Hadn't their love been enough? Hadn't they been happy? As he lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, Kian felt a sense of sadness wash over him. He had thought that he and Miles had something special, something that would last a lifetime. But now, he realized that it had all been a lie. Meanwhile, Jian, Miles' friend and a notorious bad boy, had been watching Kian from afar. He had harbored a secret crush on Kian for a long time, but he never acted on it because Kian was dating Miles. Now, Jian saw an opportunity to show Kian that he could treat him better. Jian had always been drawn to Kian's kindness and vulnerability, but he had never had the chance to explore his feelings. He had often found himself thinking about Kian, wondering what it would be like to be with him. Jian was determined to win Kian's heart, but he knew it wouldn't be easy. Kian was still hurt, and Jian needed to be patient. As Jian watched Kian from afar, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the young man. Kian was strong and resilient, and Jian knew that he would make a great partner. He started to make plans to win Kian's heart, to show him that he could be trusted and loved. Jian's thoughts were filled with ideas of how to approach Kian, how to make him feel seen and heard. He knew that he had a reputation as a bad boy, but he was determined to prove to Kian that he was more than that. He was kind, caring, and genuine, and he would do whatever it took to make Kian happy. The game was on, and Jian was ready to play. He would do whatever it took to make Kian fall in love with him. But little did he know, it wouldn't be easy. Kian's heart was still raw, and he was wary of getting hurt again. Jian would have to be patient, to prove himself to Kian, and to show him that he was the one he deserved.
