POSSESSION: The Hidden Omega In All Alphas' Academy [BL]-Chapter 147: How Precious It Is

"Are you really crazy? We have classes in the morning, and I won’t have time to prepare meals for you every day. Today is the exception because it’s the weekend." Kylian immediately objected, however watching his excited face suddenly turn a little grim from his answer, Kylian tried reassuring him with a soft mumble, "But...sometimes, I can prepare for you."

"Then it’s fine..." His smile quickly returned back as Zenith jovially kept following Kylian with his gaze wherever he went inside that kitchen. After a brief silence, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity from asking him, "Do you like cooking, sweetie? Have you learned it on your own?"

"I used to accompany Mom every day in the kitchen from a very young age whenever she prepared meals in her small restaurant. Watching her every day as a routine, I somehow learnt it." While talking about Marita, a broad pleasant smile curved on his lips while Kylian was chopping spring onions on the wooden board as he continued.

"To be honest, I am not as proficient as her when it comes to cooking, but at least I can make something edible. Besides, I thought it would be better to make something for you even with my mediocre skills, rather than leaving you poor thing starve on your own."

Watching his broad big back shoulder shimmering under the glistening sunrays as Kylian spoke, Zenith couldn’t suppress a tender smile of satisfaction on his face, finally realizing he wasn’t mistaken to consider Kylian as his long-awaited home.

Just as he had said, the food was prepared in less than 20 minutes, and Kylian served it properly on the dining table located in the hall right next to that big kitchen. But taking a glimpse at the bowl made Zenith’s relaxed face turn a little anxious.

"What happened? Don’t you like porridge?"

Quick to notice his change of expression, when Kylian urged him, Zenith fiddled his fingertips, sounding a little contemplated, "I...don’t eat vegetables." He pointed his finger towards the small pieces of vegetables floating on top of the porridge which gave it an appearance of a perfectly looking home meal.

"Why won’t you eat it? Are you a kid?" With a quick scold, Kylian intently served him a bowl of porridge mixed with abalone and veggies, making his words sound like a threat, "Be obedient and eat it after I went through all the trouble to prepare this for you."

"But...I haven’t eaten veggies for the past 13 years..."

"But from now onwards you’ll eat it." Without showing any sign to cut him some slack off, Kylian tactfully included a reward knowing it would definitely urge Zenith to finish the meal.

"Hurry up and be a good boy. If you do that, I will let you touch my chest later, for as long as you want."

And his idea promptly worked!

Zenith didn’t waste a second anymore in contemplating as he picked up his spoon to take a bite of the fresh porridge, with a mischievous grin that curved his lips, "Umm, I must say the reward is quite tempting enough to make me finish the entire bowl of porridge."

"Hah, I know how to tackle a weirdo like you." Masking his flustered smile with a smirk, Kylian keenly gazed at Zenith gulping a spoonful of porridge before he asked, "How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

"It is delicious. I don’t remember how long it has been since I had tasted something so savoring like this. I love it, and I love you too, babe."

With the glistening warm smile spread across his pitch-black eyes, Zenith’s sudden soft confession took Kylian a little aback as he lifted his shy eyes down from him. Watching him happily eat the meal he had prepared with such a satisfactory look on his face made Kylian feel pleased as he proceeded to take a spoonful of porridge himself.

But the second he tasted, the pleased smile completely dissipated from his face, making Kylian frown his brows as he objected, "Hey? What are you talking about? It’s so salty...and also tastes a little burnt! Damn, this doesn’t taste good at all!"

"Really?" But by then Zenith had taken another spoonful of porridge, chomping it with a gleeful smile on his face as he sounded calm, "It tastes delicious for me."

"Hey, you must be really insane to call this delicious." With a big sigh, Kylian put down his spoon and tried to snatch Zenith’s plate before he spoke, "Hey, let me discard it. Let’s go to the cafeteria, we will eat something good there."

"What? No!" But before he could do it, Zenith quickly dodged his hand trying to take away his plate, sounding very protective when he defended the meal, "This is the food you cooked for me! There’s no way I am throwing away something as precious as this and going to that shabby cafeteria! This feels way too delicious for me."

"Hey...you call this burnt porridge precious?" With a soft chortle, Kylian stared at Zenith with wide disbelief, while his voice softened a little, "What’s wrong with you, Zenith?"

"You don’t know how precious something is until you have lost it..." But in contrast to his smiling face, Zenith’s eyes turned a little grim, with a sad smirk that curved his lips, "I don’t remember if I ever had a home-cooked meal after my Mom’s death. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"I always had to eat those crappy meals and whatever the Chefs prepared for me, to the point I forgot what it feels like to eat the food prepared with love. So, you don’t realize how precious it is to me, Kyle... But I know it’s worth and I will not let you throw it away either. I will finish the whole bowl so you can just sit and watch me eat."

His words left a deep impact in Kylian’s heart as he couldn’t stop staring at Zenith with wide disbelief. Until a few days ago whom he had considered as the cruelest man in this Academy had such an innocent soft side which was scared by his painful past hidden below his outer cold exterior.

And it indeed made his heart throb faster to realize he was the only one to whom Zenith had exposed his vulnerable side. Feeling those giddy fluttering feelings growing inside his tummy, Kylian let out a small smile when he murmured, "Then...from now on, I will cook more meals for you, so that...you won’t miss home-cooked meals too much. I was also thinking—"

RING RING!

But before Kylian could finish his words, the loud noise of his phone ringing flinched both of them. Kylian quickly grabbed it from the pocket and when he glanced at the screen, his ocean eyes rolled in joy as he hurriedly answered, "Hello!? Mom!?"
