Nikhil's confession showed clearly that he was gay.
Ferne was filled with anger, and he couldn't get rid of the scene that Nikhil reached towards Noah, who was still a child in his 14 or 15.
He couldn't control his feelings. Anger, sadness, sorrow, despair wrapped around him, and he felt so distressed and regretful. These painful emotions filled his chest, which almost made him collapse.
The young policeman beside him was frightened, but Joe still walked out and pointed to an interrogation room opposite them.
Ferne immediately rushed over. Captain Randy glared at Joe and chased after Ferne.
"Ferne!" He tried to stop him but failed.
Ferne opened the door and pushed all the people out. Then, he punched Nikhil hard who had just been discharged from the hospital.
Nikhil hurriedly begged for mercy, "Help! Help!"
The policemen all went forward and pulled them apart. The room was chaotic.
Noah's face flashed through Ferne's mind. Ferne kept thinking about Noah's slightly raised broken eyebrow and his smile.
Why was it so heartbreaking?
He covered his chest and his eyes felt burning. Tears kept falling down his cheeks.
He felt ridiculous.
Noah the actual victim did not seem to be painful or injured, but why was he so sad?
He just couldn't help but think how upset Noah should have been at that time. He was just a child.
He really wanted to protect Noah at that time.
"Ferne!" A roar exploded in his ears.
It really sounded like Noah's voice.
Ferne thought in a trace. Then, he was pulled to his feet by someone. He blinked and saw Noah standing in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Noah frowned and looked at him.
It was Noah.
Ferne opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. His tears fell first.
Could he just stop crying!
Ferne wiped his tears. He wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he tasted his salty tear.
Noah looked down and saw the bloodstain on Ferne's white shirt. He frowned again and said, "Your wound is broken. Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital."
"Noah..." Ferne suddenly hugged him.
The entire interrogation room was silent for a few seconds. Only Nikhil, who was still screaming miserably on the ground, was suddenly covered with his mouth. He opened his eyes wide as he stared blankly at what was happening in front of him.
"Noah ... I... you." Ferne hugged him and said with red eyes, "I ... you."
Noah was stunned for a long time before he realized what Ferne had said from the implying expression of the people around him.
"What are you talking about...?" Noah froze for a moment before taking a step back. He grabbed Ferne's arm and walked out. As he walked, he smiled at the slack-jawed policemen at the door and said, "He's joking. We are playing Truth or Dare, and it's a dare."
Everyone nodded with disbelief.
Noah said was embarrassed.
He could only drag Ferne out of the police station quickly. The car was parked right at the entrance. He pulled open the back seat door. Just as he turned around, Ferne approached him.
Ferne hugged Noah's neck and kissed him deeply before letting go of him. Then he lowered his head and got into the car.
A group of policemen who were worried about them followed them out.
Captain Randy who was about to scold them became speechless.
Noah, who was frozen in front of the car, turned around and saw the crowd. He hesitated and said, "It's really Truth or Dare."
The policemen didn't say anything.
They were not blind.
Captain Randy didn't know what to say as well.
Was this a public coming-out?
Along the way, Noah didn't say anything with a serious look. Ferne was lying in the back seat, he bit his lips and said, "I'm not going to the hospital."
Noah ignored him.
"Go to your house," Ferne added.
Noah looked at him angrily in the rearview mirror, then turned the steering wheel.
Both of them wore a sullen expression. Then after they arrived and got out of the car, they walked one after the other. No one spoke until Noah opened the door and Ferne walked in. Then, the door was closed with a click.
Ferne stood at the door, his bloodshot eyes staring straight at Noah.
Noah hung the key behind the door and then bent down to change his shoes. After changing into slippers, he took a pair of men's slippers and placed them under Ferne's feet.
Ferne stood there without moving.
Noah looked at him quietly for a second. Then he squatted down to change the shoes for Ferne.
Ferne felt so distressed.
Noah stood up and looked at him, "What the hell is going on?"
Ferne didn't answer.
Noah frowned and stopped asking. He went in and took out a medical kit to bandage for Ferne.
The awkward atmosphere in the car went back, and neither of them spoke.
Ferne laid on the sofa with his eyes closed. He was afraid that the moment he opened his mouth, he would cry out. He felt so painful for Noah. No ... not for him. Those injuries were so real, making him feel like he was the actual victim.
When he opened his eyes, Noah was gone. He stood up and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Noah was washing his hands.
He leaned against the wall at the bathroom door and waited for the sound of water to stop.
When Noah wiped his hands clean and came out, he saw Ferne standing at the bathroom door. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"I mean it." Ferne looked at him and said word by word, "The words I said at the police station just now, and ... that kiss by the door, are all serious."
Noah nodded, "Fine."
Ferne asked, "What do you mean by 'fine'?"
"I see," Noah said.
