The male lead realized that Tyler still didn't move despite facing such an awkward situation. Perhaps he wanted to say something. Lucas's face blossomed at that, and he grabbed his partner's wrist, pulling the omega closer to him. "Do you want to say something?"
Tyler opened his mouth and closed, not knowing what to say anymore. Technically, he should have started seducing his lover before the latter could react. But now, this person had a flirtatious smile on his face as he made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
Should Tyler even try to seduce his senior now? He pulled his brows together in a frown.
On the other side, the male lead observed all the changes that had occurred on his partner's face and had the urge to laugh. But he coughed to cover up his chuckle and said, "You can just say it."
Tyler finally opened his mouth and forced out a sentence. "If I end up saying it, things might get even worse."
Now Lucas was curious about what Tyler wanted to do. So he raised his brows and tightened his hand around Tyler's wrist.
At this time, the latter couldn't care less about the arc anymore. He knew that the male lead was seduced even without trying. So wouldn't that mean he had finished this arc as well? Now all he had to do was struggle away from Lucas's powerful grip and shut himself in his room.
But when he noticed a playful smile on the second prince's face and the hand that was still gripping his wrist, he pursed his lips and tried to take his wrist back.
He ground his teeth and glared at his senior hatefully. Just why was the male lead still acting like a puppy dog sticking to him even in the character mode?! Lucas should be acting correctly and even feel disgusted by Victor's advances! But here, everything was happening opposite to his expectations.
This guy even had the audacity of smiling like that!
Tyler pressed his lips together and curbed his desire to lash on his senior. After all, he loved this person and didn't want to fight with him. So he would just continue to work without destroying anything. After taking a few deep breaths, Tyler's expressions became indifferent as he glanced at his lover. "I forgot what I wanted to say."
"Oh really?" The male lead pulled Tyler on his lap.
The latter squealed in surprise, glancing at his lover with widened eyes. "What're you doing?!"
"Nothing." The playful smile widened on the male lead's lips. "Why? Can't I flirt with my wife?"
'Who's your wife?! I'm a man!' Tyler took another few breaths to calm himself and glared at Lucas.
"Let me go." Tyler struggled to get up, but he wasn't as powerful as an alpha, who continued to hold his partner down with a grin on his face.
"What if I say no?"
Tyler sneered. "Then I'll give you more itching medicines in the future!"
"So you accept your mistakes, huh?"
Tyler pursed his lips again and lowered his head. At this time, it was better not to say anything at all. Otherwise, he would just end up making it worse!
Even though Lucas enjoyed playing and flirting with his partner, he knew that if he pushed his luck too much, this guy might end up dumping him on the spot. So The male lead sighed as he loosened his grip on Tyler's wrist and said, "Why're you so easy to bully? If I were a rapist, you would have been eaten a long time ago!"
A trace of blush spread on Tyler's cheeks at that. He didn't say anything, but he quickly sprinted toward his room and shut the door. Normally, he wouldn't react like this whenever his senior would flirt with him like that. He had been with that person for many years, and he wasn't as shy as before.
But the thing was that this time, Tyler wasn't supposed to act all lovey-dovey with his lover. Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to follow the arc properly now when the male lead was in the character mode.
How did Tyler know about this mode? It was because the system had once put him in that position in the past before his senior came along. He knew what kind of pain this mode was, primarily if the system acted all high and mighty, giving him random tasks even when he was a character.
But this character mode had also helped him forget all his past grievances and emotions, So that was why Tyler had thought that his lover wouldn't act like before in this world. But who would have thought that the male lead, despite the mode he was in, would just be as unrestrained as in their first world together?
Tyler sighed. He knew he couldn't do anything about it. The good thing was that the system didn't say anything when he couldn't finish a task. Perhaps the focus of this arc was to change the male lead's emotions and make the atmosphere more ambiguous, which happened despite doing anything.
So now, Tyler had to shift his focus on another arc: capturing the crown prince's heart. After this, 50% of the storyline would be finished. He wouldn't have to follow anything at all.
So a few days later, he would be able to live with his lover peacefully. When he thought of this, his shoulders couldn't help but relax.
He just had to become that singer again and meet the male lead on the weekend. Since half the storyline wasn't finished yet, he still had to carry two identities.
But what he didn't know was that the next day would end up bringing him a disaster that he never thought would happen. If he knew, he would have called Josh and told him to approach the crown prince before he could go to the bar and meet Lucas.
Unfortunately, at this time, Tyler was too relaxed and slept on his bed soundly without any trouble. Even the male lead's playful smile didn't wash away even after five minutes. The latter continued to stare at the closed door of Tyler's bedroom with keen interest.
