You guys stay out here. I’ll go inside alone\" Eden said as he made his way into Eden’s chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole room reeked of alcohol as soon as he stepped in. Eden had to place a hand over his nose for awhile as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He caught sight of Lysander who was still slowly sipping down some drunk while mumbling to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I wonder how many shots that kid took\" Eden thought as he walked up to Lysander. He took a seat opposite him without being asked to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you drinking?\" Eden stared at his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander immediately looked up on hearing the familiar voice of Eden. He blinked. His eyes were lazy, his lips wet and his cheeks super red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden found him cute at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You came. You really came...\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden folded his arms \"Of course I’ll come. When you’re all wasted like this. Of course I’ll be here to look after you\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander blinked \"I thought you wouldn’t come.. I thought you’d still be with him....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at him, quiet for a while. He guessed that was the reason Lysander was like this. Wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was probably jealous about Eden being with Felix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were you jealous?\" Eden asked but Lysander shocked his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No\" he was still shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are you drinking?\" Eden asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing\" Lysander bit his lower lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at him and let out a deep sigh \"Then why did you call me? To watch you drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander hesitated for a while. He picked up a glass to drink but Eden reached and took the glass from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re already wasted. So don’t even think of drinking more\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I...\" Lysander’s words faded into inaudible mumbles. Eden didn’t hear any of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better be honest with me. Else I’ll be angry\" Eden said \"Tell me why you called me here\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander hesitated for a while and then he said \"Let me have another drink.. and then I’ll talk..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at him for a while and then sighed. He allowed him to drink another glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden too stared at the drink. It’s been awhile since he drank too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he worked at the bar, he also didn’t drink much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden knew he didn’t have a strong tolerance for alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But tonight, he guessed he would take a sip. He was safe with Lysander after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured himself some drinks and gulped them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liking a fellow guy.. How is it supposed to feel?\" Lysander asked out of the bloom after taking a glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden paused, staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it feel different from liking a girl...?\" Lysander continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden hesitated, staring at him \"No. It’s not. It’s the same thing\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Lysander said, taking another glass\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden drank again. And again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why is it bothering me this much. Why can’t I treat it normally\" Lysander said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll have to learn to accept it I guess\" Eden said \"You’ll have to learn to accept yourself\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Accept myself\" Lysander muttered \"I think I already have. Accepted it and myself..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then good for you\" Eden smiled, gulping down another glass. And then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander stared at Eden as he asked \"How did you come to accept yourself? About liking men and all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden paused for a while. Staring at Lysander, whose eyes were on him. He casually smiled \"I never put too much thought in it. I just figured out that I like this and not this. And so I went for what I liked. Life was much more easier for me that way\" he shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Was it that easy?\" Lysander mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it should also be easy for you. You don’t have to complicate things. If you like someone, tell them\" Eden said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was getting tipsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... I think the problem is that the person I like doesn’t like me back at all\" Lysander said, slightly pouting \"What do I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know this person doesn’t like you?\" Eden asked, staring at the glass of wine he was filling up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just know. It just feels that way\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t say you know without telling them first\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if they say no?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden Shrugged \"Well, you can’t help anything then. Even if they reject it or accept it, you’ll only know after telling them. But it’s always better to tell them\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Lysander sighed \"I guess I’m just scared that you might not like me back...\" He had spilled the real tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And how do you know I don’t like you?\" Eden poured himself another glass. \"Because I think I pretty much like you\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander stiffened as he looked up at Eden. His eyes wide in shock at Eden’s words \"You do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean.. you’re good-looking, adorable, kind, loyal, you’re everything good. A whole green flag. Why won’t anyone like you?\" Eden smiled at him after emptying the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... You.. you like me?\" Lysander seemed excited with his fone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden smiled, stretching out his fingers and gently pinching Lysander’s red cheeks with them \"Of course I do. I like adorable things\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander blinked. His brain had gone numb for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think he could believe the response he got. His brain wasn’t entirely sober, but at least it was awake to get the gist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden liked him. And that was all he think he needed to know about the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Eden asked, his fingers already away from Lysander’s cheeks \"Why are you zooming out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander stared at him \"Since you like me, I think there’s something I also need to tell you\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stared at him \"Tell me? What’s it?\" Eden was sipping from a glass for wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Lysander shuttered \"I...\" He seemed nervous for a while, looking for the words to use to make it genuine at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, he didn’t think he could find more genuine words than the ones he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like you. A lot\" Lysander announced.\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T12:26:44.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","e914df6cd00084745254a96dbaf6961e0640ef77783044d6b215795c322b082e","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-137","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-135",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-cover.jpg"]
