Bast leaned in and kissed Kai without warning.
Kai's hands pressed against his chest, trying to push him away.
Kai (angrily): "Bast, stop!"
Bast (holding him): "Why are you ignoring me? You didn't answer my calls or messages. So I came here myself."
Kai: "I wasn't ignoring you! I'm just busy! And besides—you seem busy too. With work... and your secrets. So go focus on that."
His voice trembled—not just with anger, but something deeper. Bast blinked, confused by the edge in Kai's tone.
Bast: "Secrets? What are you talking about?"
Kai (coldly): "Don't play dumb. Just leave me alone. I have too much work today."
He turned to walk away, but Bast grabbed his wrist and gently pulled him back.
Bast (firmly): "I never keep secrets from you, Kai."
Kai (furious): "You did, Bast. Don't lie to me."
A moment of silence stretched between them before Bast finally sighed and cupped Kai's face in his hands.
