As of 6th April 2022, the Southeast Asia server for Mr Love, which is known as Mr Love Dream Date (MLDD), had been closed down and the server would be erased on 6th June 2022, much to the dismay and frustration of the MLDD players ヽ( `д´*)ノ.
Consequently, the MLDD players would not be having any in-game events in celebration of Kiro’s Birthday this year, unlike the rest of the other servers of Mr Love ( ╥ω╥ ).
Despite that, the MLDD players thought of celebrating Kiro’s Birthday by holding their own event (Couldn’t possibly let the lovely superstar’s birthday passed by silently(•̀ᴗ•́)و).
Interested to know more about the event?
Everyone is free to join the event, be it players or non-players, as long as you know Kiro / Zhou Qiluo and wish to join in the celebration (─‿‿─)♡.
All you need to do is to take a photo of chips/sweets/snacks along with Kiro’s pictures/merchandise/anything that represented or reminded people of Kiro and post it via reblog from this post, along with attaching the hashtags:-
The rainy season had visited Loveland. Aside from being a nightmare for those who still have to travel to work, the gloomy weather also tends to make people melancholic, especially those who are on their own. During such times, it is surprisingly reassuring to have someone to talk to.
Word Count: 2473 words
The weather in Loveland City has been rather erratic recently. It could be sunny at the moment and raining cats and dogs later when you least expect it.
Knowing this, the producer had never traveled around without a foldable umbrella in her bag. This was especially so because the rain always occurred late in the evening, which coincided with the time she usually left her company.
However, even with those preparations in place, she still couldn’t avoid being drenched to her skin by the time she reached home. Well, that was to be expected since she had to face the full brunt of the heavy torrential downpour and strong gales with nothing but her umbrella throughout the entire twenty-minute walk.
While it was uncomfortable to be stuck in soaking wet clothes throughout the journey, it was still not as bad as having to endure wearing soggy shoes. Even now, when she was all warm and cozy at home, she still couldn’t dismiss the moist and cold sensation of her aching feet from when she first reached home, as well as the unsightly view of the wrinkled and pale skin of her feet when she took off her shoes. It made her worried that if this carried on, her feet would remain permanently wrinkled one day…
Alas, the current rainy weather was expected to last for at least another week, according to the latest weather forecast. Moreover, it was also predicted that a thunderstorm might be occurring at any time within the week.
With the current downpour already being terrible enough in her opinion, the girl couldn’t imagine being stuck in facing a thunderstorm while on her way home one day. Not to mention, most of her employees were also travelling to work on foot like herself. Therefore, right after she had heard of the latest weather forecast, the girl had informed all of her employees to work from home until the weather was stable enough for everyone to travel safely to work.
As an employer, the producer wasn’t particularly against the idea of working from home. Even though she wouldn’t disagree with the notion that one’s productivity in work might decrease due to being in the comfort of one’s home and the sense of freedom that came from having no one to directly supervise one’s work progress, she believed that it was still better to have this alternative option.
For her, she wouldn’t mind if her employees take it easy when working from home as long as they still deliver their work on time and she could reach them via calls when required. As a matter of fact, if it wasn’t because there were still some pending arrangement details for an urgent project, she would have let them off from work during this period.
After all, she knew full well how hard her employees had been working, while she was out seeking collaborative projects to increase her company’s value and to prevent LFG from pulling back their investment. So, they truly deserved to have some off-days.
Fortunately, it still wasn’t too late for her to do that since she had just settled the matter regarding the urgent project by informing the respective parties of the project about the finalized details.
After sending a message to thank all her employees for their hard work and to also inform them that they will be on leave from work until further notice, the girl plopped herself face-down on the couch. Rolling over onto her back, she clutched her phone to her chest with an evident look of contentment.
With this, she could finally have some time for herself as well.
“Oh right! I should tell Kiro about this.”
Ever since Kiro first messaged her after recommending her show, “Miracle Finder”, on social media, they had been frequently keeping in touch with one another. Their conversations could be related to anything, such as food, movies, work-related matters, the interesting things that they had stumbled upon in their daily lives or even idle talks.
Even though Kiro was a celebrity idol, which made him someone who she normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to approach, let alone chat with frequently, she had never felt daunted by his fame or social status. She didn’t know why, but she always felt like she could talk about anything with Kiro, be it joyful or unhappy things.
Therefore, he was the first person she thought of sharing the news of her holiday.
[Yay! I am finally free from work! ^-^V]
It didn’t take more than five seconds for her to receive a reply that caused her to giggle.
[That’s great! Now, our idler group is finally complete!]
Compared to her, Kiro was certainly more hectic when it came to his work schedule. However, his workload had reduced significantly due to the rainy weather, which limited all of his job assignments to indoors. Once he had completed all of the indoor-related assignments, his manager had decided to give him a break since all the assignments that remained could only be done outdoors, which would have to wait until the weather cleared up since no one wanted to risk getting the celebrity idol sick.
Ever since then, Kiro had proclaimed himself to be an idler and had been lamenting on how he was still missing her as his partner in lazing about. Now that she was free from work too, it was to be expected that Kiro would be delighted.
[Still, it’s a shame that we will both be stuck at home due to the weather.]
[Why? Are you missing me, Miss Chips?]
His message was followed by a smirking emoji.
Blushing at having her innermost thoughts exposed by his teasing words, the girl pursed her lips while typing out her reply.
[I am just thinking how boring it would be since there aren’t many entertaining things to do at home.]
[Oh, Miss Chips doesn’t miss me. T.T]
In response, the girl’s lips had curled up unknowingly and she shook her head helplessly at the thought of Kiro pouting while typing those childish words. To behave childishly without turning people off, none could have done it as effortlessly as Kiro.
If she was like any of her fangirls, she would have fallen for his words and admitted that she missed him, just to not make him be any more disappointed.
However, she knew Kiro better than any fangirls. Moreover, she was aware that Kiro was only pretending to be saddened by her replies in order to coax her into confessing. Not wanting to let him have things his way all the time, the girl decided to play dumb.
[Didn’t we just have a video call last night?]
[Which Miss Chips rejected the first time… :’( ]
[That was because I had just gotten out of the shower at that time and hadn’t fully dried myself off!]
Not many would ever talk to Kiro in such a casual manner. Then again, the girl had never been one to walk on eggshells around Kiro. That is why they have been able to converse with each other with ease. It was because they held nothing back between them.
At the very least, she alone had never felt the need to do so.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kiro had always found it mysterious, how the rainy weather tends to make one feel melancholic. The gloomy and dark skies outside, coupled with the silence that permeates the air within the big house, had further accentuated a sense of solitude. Moreover, having been confined indoors due to the weather and not having much to do, one would naturally be contemplative.
Loneliness.
Who would ever believe that a well-loved celebrity like Kiro, who had legions of fans worldwide, would ever feel lonely?
To the public, Kiro is a bright star, whose radiance never dimmed and continues to illuminate others without fail. It might never occur to them at all that there would also be moments when a star will lose its radiance.
Not surprising since people tend to only notice the beautiful side of things. Thus, it was likely for them to have overlooked the fact that beyond the lights and glamour of the stage, Kiro is just like everyone else, an ordinary person.
He too will be overwhelmed by others’ expectations of him or be weary from having to put up a strong front at all times in order to not disappoint said expectations.
He too wished to be comforted when things were difficult, to have someone praise him for trying so hard all the time or to tell him it was alright to not push himself too hard and to take a breather sometimes.
Nonetheless, Kiro was someone who was always harsh towards himself. Instead of giving in to those yearnings, he chose to bottle up his feelings and carry on in maintaining his flawless image to the public. Facing the world on his own, the only thing that kept him going was a certain hope, which was further reinforced by his mentor’s words at the airport right before Kiro departed to America.
Back then, Kiro thought he had hidden his emotions well, but somehow his mentor still knew about it and had given Kiro a firm hug as he consoled the fifteen-year-old boy.
“Kiro, everyone is born alone and dies alone in this world. Still, that doesn’t mean that we are fated to be alone for the rest of our life. Aside from Eva and myself, you will encounter others who will accept everything about you and love you as you are.”
The famous French singer, Eva Seidel, was the closest person to a mother figure to Kiro. She was also the one who had suggested for Kiro to continue his studies in America. While this suggestion was undoubtedly beneficial for Kiro’s future, it was only because Eva and his mentor were strongly in favor of this option that Kiro decided to go to America in spite of his reluctance to leave France.
Kiro greatly admired and respected his mentor, but he still couldn’t hide his skepticism after hearing his mentor’s words. Of course, his mentor had noticed it as well.
“You might find it hard to believe now, but mark my words. As long as you don’t close off your heart and boldly accept those hands that have reached out to you, you will never be alone.”
That was the last face-to-face talk Kiro had with his mentor.
He kept his mentor’s words to heart, even though he still didn’t believe there would be others who would accept his flaws and imperfections. Still, there was someone who Kiro had always hoped to meet again and he wished she would be one of those people that his mentor mentioned will accept him as he is.
This hope was what had kept Kiro going throughout the years after his mentor’s disappearance.
When Kiro eventually met the girl again and realized that she didn’t remember anything from the past, he thought that it was for the best. With this, they would be able to start afresh and he will be able to show her only the best part of himself.
Nonetheless, whenever he was with her, he felt so at ease that he always ended up behaving unreservedly. Still, the girl had never shunned him for it and had oftentimes told him that she liked him that way.
Of course, he hadn’t truly believed her back then and stubbornly continued to hide his weaknesses from her. She was too precious to him and he was afraid of losing her. Even the mere thought of her disliking him was unbearable to Kiro, let alone the idea of her abandoning him.
To Kiro, his existence was precarious and heavily-dependent on his fame as an idol, which in turn, was reliant on the adoration from his fans. Despite that, he wasn’t even certain whether those adorations were genuine or due to the influence of his Evol.
The vagueness had merely heightened Kiro’s sense of insecurity and he became particularly mindful of people’s perception of him. In order to prove that his popularity wasn’t due to the influence of his Evol but due to his own efforts in giving the best performance to the public, Kiro never stopped pushing himself to the limit.
It was his Miss Chips who had quelled his fear of rejection and loneliness by sticking by his side through all his uncool and vulnerable moments. It was her voice that had pulled him from the darkness of his own mind that threatened to engulf him. Once again, he was saved by her presence and unconditional support.
Even if he was alone, his loneliness would instantly dissipate whenever he heard her voice during a phone call, saw her smiling face during a video call or read back the past messages between them.
[That was because I had just gotten out of the shower at that time and hadn’t fully dried myself off!]
Just like now, Kiro couldn’t stop himself from grinning as they continued to message back and forth between themselves about trivial matters.
[Really (o-O) ? Why do I feel like Miss Chips purposely doesn’t want to see me?]
[Of course not!]
[Hmm…then Miss Chips has to prove it.]
Before she could send out a reply, Kiro had clicked on the video camera icon on the top right side of his phone screen, thus initiating a video call between them. Unlike last time, the girl had accepted the call within five seconds.
However, she must have done so in a rushed manner because the sight that greeted Kiro on the phone screen was of the girl hiding the lower half of her face behind a couch pillow. Finding her posture to be adorable, he decided not to say anything about her slightly disheveled hair.
“Yoo-hoo, Miss Chips!” greeted Kiro while waving at the phone screen. “Glad to see me?”
Although he couldn’t see the lower half of her face, he could tell that the girl was miffed based on her narrowed eyes.
“Kiro! Why so suddenly? I didn’t even have time to prepare myself.”
“It’s okay, Miss Chips is always adorable.” He grinned mischievously and winked at the screen. “As for the sudden video call, it’s the best way to prove whether Miss Chips is avoiding to see me or not. Unless … you want me to go over to your place to meet you directly?”
The girl’s eyes had widened for a second before she shook her head vigorously and clutched the pillow closer to her face.
“Of course, there’s also another reason. It’s because…” Kiro deliberately dragged the end of his words for a while before he broke into a smile.
Saudade is a profound melancholic yearning for the absent of that which one loves, that is often accompanied by the denied fact that it might never return. In other words, it is the feeling of missing someone dear to you who is no longer by your side.
Words: 1386 words
For the past one minute, Kiro had been staring at the constantly blinking vertical line on the half-completed email that was displayed on his laptop screen. His hands that were on the keyboard had remained motionless, even though his mind was whirling with various choices of words to convey his thoughts. It was strange since he didn’t usually have this much trouble in putting his thoughts into words.
After all, this wasn’t his first email and it was also unlikely to be his last.
There wasn’t a defined limit to the length of his emails. Some of them were as short as a few sentences, while others could be as lengthy as a few pages. Nevertheless, the words that he wished to say would come to him naturally and guided the movements of his fingers on the keyboard, much like when he was struck by a sudden spark of inspiration while in the middle of composing a new song. However, unlike his songs, which he would gladly share to the world without reservations, the words on this digital form of letters were something that was meant for his one and only recipient.
An irreplaceable and important person in Kiro’s life.
After much hesitation, Kiro eventually typed out the finishing sentence for his email. He sent the email immediately and received a confirmation from the system a moment later regarding his email being delivered successfully. The young man then leaned back onto his chair and stretched his arms up in the air. Nonchalantly, he glanced at the time that was shown at the bottom right corner of his laptop. Most people would be eager to retire to bed after realizing the current time, but for Kiro, he merely sighed before smiling wryly.
If Savin knew that he had been staying up late while knowing full well that he will be having a photo shooting session in the morning, he would not only be nagging at Kiro, he would confiscate all of his devices and games to prevent him from staying up late again. It was already bad enough to have his snacks confiscated before this. If he was to lose his games and devices as well…Kiro didn’t even want to imagine it. Thus, it would be best to hide this from his manager’s knowledge.
Anyway, considering the current time, it wouldn’t make much difference for him to go to bed now or later. Not to mention, he wasn’t feeling sleepy at all right now. Rather than tossing and turning in bed as he tried to fall asleep, he might as well stay up for a little while longer. Having made up his mind about that, Kiro reached out to his laptop once again. He scrolled through the long list of emails that existed within his inbox in the encrypted mailing system. His azure eyes grew wistful as he skimmed through the simplified previews for the contents of each of the emails.
[How’s your day today?]
[Happy birthday, Kiro.]
[Are you staying up late to play games again?]
[I have listened to your latest song.]
On the list of emails that could be dated as far back as fifteen years ago, there were only two names. Needless to say, Kiro was one of them. As for the other name, it was none other than his mentor, KEY.
As a matter of fact, this encrypted mailing system was actually something that was set up by KEY as a private means of communication between him and Kiro when the latter was sent abroad as a child. Nonetheless, if one was to examine the list of emails closely, they will notice that starting from five years ago, Kiro had been the one sending emails to his mentor, while there had never been an email from KEY to him.
This was because KEY had been missing without a trace in the past five years.
While The Twelve of Black Swan had deemed KEY to no longer be in this world, Kiro refused to accept that. Instead, he believed that his mentor had merely hidden himself so well throughout the years that no one was able to find any traces of him. Even now, his mentor must certainly be waiting somewhere in the world for the opportunity to reunite with him.
Ever since Kiro solved the first coding puzzle that was left behind by KEY and received the subsequent message of encouragement that was attached to the hint for the next riddle, he had continued to believe in his mentor’s survival.
If not, how could the occasional messages from his mentor, which appeared every time he solved one of those riddles, fit with the latest events and Kiro’s current situation in life?
Still, despite Kiro having accepted his mentor’s disappearance as a temporary circumstance, that didn’t mean that he was completely unaffected by it.
Back when Kiro was still staying abroad, he and his mentor had still maintained contact with one another through the encrypted emails in spite of not being able to meet with each other. Now, there was completely no contact between them. So, of course, this had made Kiro feel lonelier than before. The only solace for this loneliness would be when the blonde youth was immersed in his work as a celebrity, solving his mentor’s riddles … or when he was sending emails to his mentor via the encrypted system.
Kiro had started actively sending emails to his mentor after the latter had been missing for more than a year. To be honest, he didn’t know why he started doing that or if there was any meaning in doing so. Still, the only thing Kiro knew for certain was that the weight on his chest had felt a little lighter after he had sent out those emails. Even though there hadn’t been a single reply for any of his emails, Kiro wasn’t disheartened and continued sending out his emails whenever he could do so.
Since the contents of the emails were about the things that Kiro had experienced in his daily life, this habit of composing emails to his mentor was akin to writing a diary entry, which led him to come up with a certain idea.
That, someday, if he could meet up with his mentor, he would retrieve all of these unread mails from the system and recite them back to his mentor, letter by letter, just to inform him on how he had been doing for the past years during his mentor’s absence. In return, Kiro would then request to hear about his mentor’s experiences.
With so many things to talk about between them, a day would certainly not be enough. So, Kiro might as well take a few days off from work during that time. While it may be difficult to take a long leave of absence from work due to his rising fame and the countless job offers, if he persuaded Savin to allow him a long break just this one time, it wouldn’t be impossible.
After that, he could catch up with his mentor without a care in the world. Kiro could even take the opportunity to introduce Miss Chips to his mentor. Knowing the two of them well, Kiro was sure that they would get along fine. The blonde celebrity had smiled widely in contentment as he pictured the scene of his mentor, Miss Chips and himself conversing happily at one of his secret bases.
If there was really such a day in the future, Kiro thought that he couldn’t be happier.
Stifling a yawn, Kiro rubbed one of his eyes before deciding that it was finally time for him to sleep. After instructing his laptop to shut down, the young man stood up from his seat and headed towards his bedroom to have a short nap before the sun rose.
While pending on the shutdown command, his laptop’s screen was showing the most recent email that he had sent out earlier to his mentor. A single sentence had stood apart from the rest of the content at the bottommost part of the email. It was the last sentence that Kiro had added into the email before he sent it out.
[Master, I miss you.]
With a blink, the laptop screen turned dark, signaling that the device had completed its shutdown process.

[First Part]
It was late at night, and I was huddled in bed bored while swiping through videos. Suddenly, a crisp “ding dong” sounded, and a push notification popped up on the screen.
– [Special Announcement on Weibo] Kiro: This “Wish Collection” event has ended. The one who won the final wish prize is… [Click for details]
MC: ! It’s actually time for the prize draw of this event, let me see who is the lucky one…
Immediately, my spirit came to me, and I stretched out my finger to the link on the screen–
At the same time, an incoming call popped up on the screen, and the moment my fingertip touched the screen, a familiar voice came from the receiver.
Kiro: MC? You answered too quickly, did you stay up all night playing on your phone again and get caught by me?
MC: Pfft- I saw the push notification that the event you held before had a draw, and I want to take part in this grand prize. I hope I win!
MC: After all, what the winner gets is a chance for Kiro to grant their wish, how rare it is~
Kiro: It seems that Miss Chips is quite interested in this event? Then I can rest assured.
MC: Eh?
Kiro: I called you just to say this.
Kiro: Because this wish in the draw was a bit special, I wanted to celebrate the fourth birthday of a little fan named “Nini”.
Kiro: But the other party emphasized that she wanted a relatively cozy and private birthday party, so the address was set at her home.
Kiro: That being said… don’t schedule shoots as much as possible.
MC: Is there a reason for being so mysterious?
Kiro: You can rest assured that the other party provided information very cooperatively, and it should be Nini’s sister according to her age, only…
MC: Savin must still have concerns.
A muffled response came from the other end of the phone.
MC: But even so, Kiro must be very persistent in granting this wish. So he is now thinking…
MC: “It would be great if MC came with me. It would not only convince Savin to rest assured, but also not disappoint the fans.”
MC: Am I guessing right?
Kiro: …correct, correct, correct, correct! Oops, I guess I can’t hide anything from you.
He pretended to sigh helplessly, but his tone was undisguised and lightened.
I can seem to imagine what his expression was like at this time. How could I live up to such a Kiro?
[Second Part]
On Nini’s birthday, Kiro and I showed up at the address of the apartment on time.
After confirming the apartment number again and again, and consolidating the measures to deal with what Savin had told me so many times, I nodded toward Kiro.
Kiro picked up the cake he had prepared and rang the doorbell. Soon, a young girl with a ponytail appeared before us.
Kiro: Surprise–
The girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Kiro in a trance. After a while, she blushed and covered her mouth.
Girl: It’s really Kiro!
Kiro: Hello, I’m Kiro. Next to me is…
MC: I’m his manager, MC, hello.
As I said that, I blinked at Kiro, but he was not surprised.
Kiro: We were invited to celebrate Nini’s birthday. You are the one who contacted us before, Nini’s sister, right?
The girl seems to have come out of her trance, looked at us apologetically and smiled at us.
Girl: Sorry, I’m just so excited. Hello, I’m Nini’s mother.
Perhaps our expressions were too surprised as she seemed to have realized something and waved her hands.
Girl: I think you have misunderstood… come in first. Nini, hurry up, come out and see who’s here!
(In the apartment)
As soon as I walked into the entrance, I heard something jumping down the stairs. There was a sound, and then a small furry head appeared at the corner of the stairs.
Two ears stand high, and a pink tongue hangs out like a soggy noodle. The small lace scarf on the neck is extraordinarily delicate, and it looks like it has been carefully dressed.
As it approached, its round buttocks trembled.
MC: Such a cute little corgi!
Kiro: So chubby, it looks like Mango Shake! *Reference to his Intimate Date*
As if it had seemingly understood the compliment, the little corgi sped up its small steps and jumped down the stairs step by step, its naive look made it so that people couldn’t help but want to approach it.
Girl: Nini, look, your favourite Kiro is here to celebrate your birthday!
Kiro: It’s… Nini?
Seeing us looking at each other, the girl blushed and lowered her head, a hint of guilt and unease was mixed in her tone.
Girl: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it… and I didn’t mean to answer your questions so vaguely.
Girl: I didn’t expect you to come today. I… I am really surprised and thankful!
The girl’s somewhat bewildered expression cleared up any doubt that we had before. *Changed some wording*
Girl: Nini is not only a pet but an actual child to me. And… she’s a hardcore Kiro fan!
Girl: As long as Kiro appears on TV, she will sit right in front. I can’t even pull her away!
As if to prove that she is indeed a genuine “little soda”, Nini excitedly rubbed around Kiro’s legs.
Kiro squatted down and shook Nini’s paw in a friendly way.
Kiro: Hello, little Nini, nice to meet you. Happy Birthday to you today!
Kiro: I never thought I had a special and lovely “little fan” like you.
Kiro: It’s all thanks to this wonderful fate, right?
Kiro’s voice is gentle and sincere, I can hear him say something to Nini as he gently patted her shoulders.
MC: It seems that Nini has successfully captured Kiro.
Nini opened her grape-like eyes and gently rubbed Kiro’s hand with her soft nose.
Seeing this scene, the girl’s face finally showed a smile.
Kiro: Come on Nini, let’s start your birthday party!
Nini: Woof woof!
Looking at the small and delicate chocolate cake on the table, we fell into a brief silence.
Nini in Kiro’s arms stuck her tongue out, anxiously waiting for her own birthday ceremony. She probably didn’t understand what the strange human was thinking.
The girl leaned beside me and whispered.
Girl: Actually, I ordered a special little cake at the pet store, but I don’t know why it hasn’t been delivered yet. If you could stay here, I’d go directly to the store to have a look.
MC: I’ll go with you!
Girl: No, it’s already very troublesome for you! And I didn’t make it clear before.
Kiro: What are you saying so mysteriously?
Kiro and Nini’s heads came into sight at the same time, and their eyes were inexplicably synchronized.
Kiro: Watch us, Nini, she is just going to go out for a bit. *Changed some wording*
Kiro: Although the cake is not perfect, what is important is the sense of ceremony to celebrate the birthday!
Nini sighed in cooperation, Kiro raised his hand quickly, covered the pair of small ears, and lowered his voice.
Kiro: I can’t help but comfort this little gal, I think she’s going to jump up any second.
Kiro: The puppy cake you’re talking about, we’ll pick it up later, okay?
Listening to his urgent tone, I tried my best to hold back a smile, picked up a golden birthday hat from the side, and adjusted it. After adjusting it, I put it on Nini’s head.
MC: Well, the little birthday star’s hat is ready!
Kiro stood up, put on a serious look, raised his palm, and stretched it out to Nini.
Kiro: You sit here, be good, and don’t move. Do you understand? High five!
Nini: Woof!
The fleshy little paw scratched Kiro’s palm twice and then sat on the spot obediently.
Kiro put the four candles on the cake with satisfaction and lit one of them.
The orange halo flickered, outlining his face very softly.
[Third Part]
In the gentle happy birthday song singing, Nini’s birthday ceremony is completed.
At the girl’s request, she went to the pet store to pick up the cake while Kiro and I stayed to accompany Nini.
Perhaps because she didn’t eat the cake, Nini was running back and forth excitedly. Kiro, who was following behind her, finally lost after several rounds of chasing.
Kiro: Phew- Miss Chips, you say she’s so small, so where does she keep all that energy in her little body? It’s almost like when I walk Apple Box and he wants to take me for a run! *Changed some wording*
Kiro: Oh wait, where is she going?
I followed Kiro’s line of sight and saw Nini jumping upstairs strenuously with her short legs, leaving us with a stocky little butt.
Kiro: Oh no, am I falling out of her affection so quickly?
MC: No, Kiro is too charming for that to happen. Have more confidence!
The next second, Nini’s figure reappeared on the stairs with a big bag in her mouth, and she diligently put the bag into Kiro’s hands.
After reaching in the bag for a short while, Kiro took out a can of fresh meat.
Kiro: Clever little ghost, do you want to eat this?
Nini sat obediently at Kiro’s feet, her big eyes flickering.
Kiro slowly opened the tab of the can, but suddenly raised the can when Nini approached.
Kiro: What should you do first if you want to eat meat?
As soon as he finished speaking, Nini raised her two short front paws with difficulty, using the other two short back legs to hold herself up. *Changed some wording*
Kiro patted Nini’s head with great satisfaction and handed over the opened can of meat.
Kiro: Very nice, this can is your reward!
Nini raised her ears proudly, leaned over to take a few bites of canned food, and then turned her attention to the chew sticks in the bag.
Kiro followed her gaze and opened the packaging of the chew sticks and shook it in front of Nini.
Kiro: If you want to eat it, you have to say “thank you” again.
Nini responded with a crisp sound, raised her short front legs, and then unexpectedly put them back down and spun around.
Kiro: Nini, how much skill do you have that I don’t know about?
Nini paused, jumped suddenly, and snatched the chew stick out of Kiro’s hand.
Kiro: Hey, you! This “skill” is not something a good child should learn!
The fluffy little butt seemed to be provocative, but soon after, Nini took out another bag of jerky.
Kiro: Only after you eat this can of food. Be a good girl who doesn’t waste!
Kiro earnestly tried to educate Nini about saving money, but Nini didn’t seem to be interested as her short legs kept digging at the bag of jerky under her feet.
I couldn’t help laughing when I saw Kiro being helpless with this dog.
Kiro: Miss Chips, don’t snicker, come and help me.
I restrained my smile and bent down to get the jerky when Nini suddenly rushed up and took it back, making a threatening cry.
MC: She actually stole it… It seems that Nini is a dog who will not give up so easily.
Kiro: This little gal is really possessive. *kinda like a certain boi with golden retriever energy, lol*
Kiro said, naturally reaching out to straighten my messy hair.
Who would have thought that Nini would suddenly let go of the jerky and run over to squeeze between me and Kiro, making sure to lick Kiro’s hand constantly?
MC: Nini, this is… *not your man, bitch!! *
Kiro had a novel look on his face and reached out his hand to deliberately rub my hair again.
Nini: Woof woof!!
Nini jumped on the spot twice and even rolled over to reveal her fat belly. Kiro had to rub it before she would stop.
I couldn’t help laughing at the realization.
MC: Nini is also very possessive towards you.
Kiro: No way, too much charm is also a trouble.
Kiro pinched Nini’s fat little face and deliberately made a sour expression. The corners of my mouth twitched as a little mischievous idea came to mind.
I walked behind Kiro, put my hands on his shoulders, looked at him defiantly, and then looked at Nini.
MC: Kiro– is mine!
[Fourth Part]
Nini: Arf!
Nini didn’t flinch in the slightest and barked back, making sure to not be outdone.
MC: He’s mine, not yours!
Nini: Ruff!
MC: You two just met today, we have known each other for a long time, you know!
Nini: Ruff ruff!
Listening to me and Nini bickering back and forth, Kiro couldn’t stop laughing.
He picked up the can and the chew stick and handed them to Nini, exaggerated sounds were falling out of our mouths. *Changed some wording*
Kiro: Alright, enough already, stop fighting!
MC: This is a war between me and Nini, don’t interfere!
Kiro: Pfft– come on, Miss Chips.
Kiro leaned towards my ear and whispered something. My ears felt a little hot for a moment and I felt as if I was quietly being favoured. *Changed some wording*
MC: Nini, aren’t you going to admit defeat?
Nini: Woof!
The fleshy front paws rested on Kiro’s legs, and her eyes were still full of confidence.
MC: Nini, look, he’s mine!
In front of Nini, I held Kiro’s right hand.
MC: Look… look!
I walked around in front of Kiro and deliberately sat gently on Kiro’s right leg.
Nini jumped onto Kiro’s left leg without hesitation.
Kiro: Ah, am I hugging from left to right?
Although he said it jokingly, I felt that Kiro’s hand didn’t know where to go.
I didn’t expect Nini to be so obsessed with Kiro. It seems that I will lose to this dog if she doesn’t move.
I tilted my head, looked at the side of the face that was close at hand, and subconsciously pecked his cheek.
Kiro seemed to be stunned for a moment, and when he looked over, I looked away with a guilty conscience.
MC: Nini, do you still dare to fight?
Nini immediately propped her upper body and stuck out her pink tongue to Kiro’s face.
At this moment, Kiro suddenly stretched out his hand, took Nini’s chubby body into his arms, tilted his head and then leaned down.
Before I could react, a warm and soft touch fell on the corner of my lips.
Shallow breathing fluttered on the side of the ear, and a chuckle sounded in my ear–
Kiro: Congratulations to Miss Chips for winning the “Kiro Battle”.
Kiro: This is your trophy, please take it.
After playing with Nini for a while, Kiro and I sat on the floor panting.
Nini still happily walked around us with her short legs and pushed me with her soft nose reluctantly, and rubbed Kiro again.
Seeing that we really had no energy, she went off to play by herself in disappointment.
I turned my head and saw the beads of sweat on the tips of Kiro’s golden hair and the dog fur on his clothes. I subconsciously raised the corners of my lips.
Kiro: What is Miss Chips giggling about? Did I get caught again?
MC: Because I’m looking at you, I can’t help but laugh. After all, seeing Kiro like this is rare~
MC: But you played with Nini for a whole day today. Will Apple Box be jealous? After all, dogs have really keen noses!
Kiro: You reminded me that Apple Box’s always good-natured in appearance, but he gets jealous very easily.
Kiro: Usually whenever I touch another dog outside, he gets unhappy when he finds out.
MC: Then when you go back today with Nini’s scent, he will definitely ignore you, right?
I looked at Kiro, a bit of schadenfreude in my tone.
Kiro: Yes. Luckily… I think I have a solution.
MC: Eh?
Before I could react, Kiro’s whole body was already tilted towards me, getting closer and closer–
The next second, his head was resting on my lap.
Kiro: There we go.
Kiro: How about you let me bring more of your scent home so that Apple Box won’t smell Nini?
Saying that, Kiro rubbed against me like Apple Box, as if to rub in more smell.
From time to time, the soft ends of hair brushed against the skin on my arm, giving an itching sensation.
My heart beat faster involuntarily and I subconsciously reached out and pushed him away.
MC: How could this approach work…
Kiro: I think it should work.
Kiro: If you don’t believe me, try smelling me first?
Kiro said that as he took off his jacket and put me in his arms. My whole vision suddenly turned black and only a fresh, youthful scent was left.
In the dark with a cozy atmosphere, only the thumping of heartbeats was alive and present.
MC: Kiro, you…
“Woosh!”, the dark curtain suddenly pulled away from my world again and a face with a familiar smile gradually became clear in my sight.
Kiro: So, is it just your scent?
MC: I, I’m not Apple Box, how would I be able to smell it? Come on!
Nini: Arf arf!
With a crisp bark, the figure with short legs jumped onto my lap and pushed Kiro away.
MC: This is…
Kiro wanted to lean over again, but received a warning look from Nini.
Kiro: It seems that after you played with her just now, she now thinks of you as property and wants to monopolize you… What a special little gal!
As if to confirm Kiro’s speculation, Nini turned towards Kiro again and barked twice provocatively.
Kiro: Well, since today is your birthday…
Kiro stretched out his hand and a chew stick was stuffed into Nini’s mouth.
Kiro: The chew sticks and cans are yours.
Kiro: But Miss Chips–
Kiro: Is mine alone.

*Spoilers for future content below!*
[Chapter 1]
* ‘–’ is where the next page starts*
“…Passengers who take this flight, please go to the No. 12 carousel in Zone D to claim your luggage…”
The sensor door slid open silently, and passengers rushed in. I walked to the hall with the crowd, looking around, trying to find the shadow of this city after a few years in my memory.
The dark grey ground reflected the cold light of the dome, and outside of the curtain wall, the roar of the plane could be faintly heard. The scene in front of me doesn’t seem to have changed much from the year I went abroad. It’s just that in the advertising screens around, the faces that capital favours are no longer the same as they used to be.
The new generation is better than the old.
–
I thought sadly, and my eyes were fixed on the advertisement in the corner of the hall.
On the screen, Kiro smiled, and his eyes were as blue and bright as the ocean reflecting the sunlight. Occasionally, a traveller slows down as he passes by the screen. Although he suspended the event a few months ago, the commercial value does not appear to have been significantly affected.
I stood in front of the carousel thoughtfully, opened Weibo while I was waiting, and searched for his name.
— “I don’t know how many days it’s been since Lolo’s been active. I miss him.”
–
— “Inside news. It is said that this comeback will have a great impact!”
— “Really? Let’s hope so!” *Changed some wording*
…
I raised my eyebrows and took my luggage off the carousel.
The entertainment industry has always been fond of the new and disliked the old, it’s a miracle that Kiro can maintain such a high degree of discussion during the blank period. It’s no wonder that his agent, Savin, has made several overseas phone calls and asked me to be his stage director for his concert. With his popularity, he deserves the attention.
–
“Hello, Director Wang, we will pick you up at the exit. Please contact us when you land.”
A line of small words pops up in the bay window. I pulled up the box and walked towards the exit, but saw an unexpected face in the crowd.
“… Agent Savin?”
“Director Wang! Is this trip going smoothly?”
Savin took the luggage enthusiastically. I was a little surprised but still answered politely.
–
“I didn’t expect for you to come to pick me up in person like an experienced star.”
“You are too polite.” Savin smiled and led me into the car while motioning for the driver to set off. “Thank you for your willingness to accept the invitation and return to China. While we wait to get to the venue, you can take a look at the company arrangement.”
I responded, took the information, and turned a few pages.
“Why would rehearsal take this long?”
“… well, because this concert is a bit special.” Savin’s voice paused: “I’ll explain to you later.”
–
[Chapter 2]
The car stopped slowly in front of the gym, and a girl came out to greet us with a smile.
“This is Director Wang. This is our boss, the person in charge of the company. She prepared the company arrangement.” Savin introduced us. I shook hands with the young person in charge, discussed the plan, and walked into the venue. After passing through several major gates, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.
Against the clear sky, the vast venue and the dazzling sunlight come into view. I narrowed my eyes and vaguely saw a figure jumping off the stage, bright blond hair sparkling like a light. When he opened his eyes again, he had walked to the side of the person in charge and stood still. Those azure blue eyes that were indistinguishable from the advertisement looked at me, slightly curved.
–
“Hello~ I’m Kiro, I’m glad to have the opportunity to cooperate with you!”
“I am also looking forward to the results of the cooperation. But the schedule is still a little bit ahead. You are here now…”
“I’ll come to see the venue with the boss.” Kiro glanced at the girl who answered the phone and said softly, “My design is only based on the drawings, and the details are not comprehensive enough.”
“Before, I planned to arrange about 1,000 electronic lights in the audience, but now it seems that the number is still a little small…”
–
The kid’s attitude towards the stage is more serious than I thought.
I nodded silently.
Soon, the person in charge hung up the phone and said apologetically that something had happened in some other departments and she needed to deal with it. After saying goodbye to her, I turned on the computer and motioned Kiro to look at the screen: “Well… my initial plan is: all the lights at the opening are turned off, and the team will gradually join the accompaniment. As you sing the opening song, the lights on stage and in the audience will light up when entering the chorus.”
–
“You can also let the little sodas participate with their hand-controlled lights!” *Changed some wording*
Kiro, who had been listening this whole time, excitedly added, his eyes passed by lines and lines of the detailed plan. But, Savin frowned.
Is there any difficulty in cooperating? I was puzzled, and I asked bluntly: “What does Mr. Savin think is inappropriate?”
Savin coughed and seemed to be thinking about his words: “Director Wang, actually…”
–
“Savin, let me speak.”
Kiro suddenly spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up gently, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: “Director Wang, this idea is good, but it’s not very suitable for me right now.”
“I have a problem with my ears, and I can’t carry earphones on set. So, including the opening, the sound system has to be online all the time.”
“…”
–
I stared at those frank and sincere eyes, and my eyes fell on the delicate instrument partially exposed in his hair, and an unbelievable ache passed through my heart. It turns out that the so-called “special” thing is not the details of the scheduling, but…
Are you kidding?
For singers, ear problems are definitely major blows to one’s career. Not to mention the singing skills, such as improvisation, to match the atmosphere of the scene. I am afraid that for him now, even controlling the volume and intonation are tricky issues…
–
“The stage is not child’s play. Have you considered the seriousness of this matter?” I paced a few times and stopped suddenly in front of Kiro: “This matter is not so simple, you may not know —”
I would have liked to illustrate the hardships involved, but the moment I met those calm eyes, I suddenly realized something.
He is very clear.
–
“I know the stakes are high… but, it’s not impossible. And…”
Kiro turned his head to look at me, lowered his tone, but still did not give in at all: “Director Wang, before sending you an invitation, we have negotiated with the industry’s authoritative stage and sound teams, who have participated in several Bird’s Nest concerts. I have rich experience in the design and construction of these concerts, and I am also in the process of negotiating with the best lighting instructor nominated for this year’s Golden Globe Awards. I know that this stage will be different from the past, and each link needs better cooperation, even if it takes many adjustments to render it perfect. So, I have been working on it.”
–
He paused for a moment, there was a light in his eyes, and he spoke again with a firmer tone: “I hope you believe that I, like you, want to create a perfect stage, and I need your help. I know this is a challenge, it is not easy, and the process of adaptation will be long and even torturous. But, no matter how painful the process of it is, I will never give up.”
“Please believe me.”
I didn’t say anything, I was full of this young man’s earnest look. For some time, I seemed to hear a shaky voice in my heart.
–
After receiving the invitation, I spent a few days mulling over hundreds of videos of Kiro’s performances. His infectious and explosive power on stage is truly unparalleled. What really made me agree to cooperate was the persistence I saw in those eyes and the love that never changed.
I can see such an expression for real now, but with even more intensity. *Changed some wording*
I couldn’t help laughing and let out a long sigh.
–
“I need to know the limits of your hearing ability before I can make a new plan to negotiate with lighting and sound. In addition, you must hurry up and practise…”
My voice is a little dry, but Kiro didn’t seem to notice, nodding: “No problem!”
“I will devote all the time, except for the necessary sleep, to training and actively cooperate with your arrangement. You can rest assured that the final presentation will be the perfect stage for everyone!”
[Chapter 3]
“All the tweaks and changes are due to some problems with my ears, so there is no way to carry the earpiece back on the spot. Thank you for understanding.” *GT was wonky here, but I think he’s saying earpiece*
At the meeting, Kiro confessed to the people present. Although I already knew this, seeing the silhouette of him bowing deeply, I still couldn’t help but sigh. This is an extremely difficult challenge. Fortunately, the team was very experienced and willing to cooperate, the immediate difficulties are not insurmountable.
But, on the fifteenth day of the countdown, the originally orderly atmosphere of the team suddenly changed.
–
The backstage, which was supposed to be busy, was a bit empty this day, and no one was seen in each post. I went all the way into the conference room, only to find that everyone was talking to each other here. Seeing my gloomy face, several people pushed their way through and greeted me.
“Director Wang, we don’t want to cooperate with Kiro, please replace us.”
“… the reason being?”
“Don’t you know? It’s been rumoured long ago!”
The staff handed the mobile phone to me, and the bright title of the video caught my eye: “Kiro- The Artificial Evolver Demon”.
–
I hesitated and clicked on the video. I froze in place.
The words repeated in my ears and the sights in the video made my thoughts go chaotic. It wasn’t until the screen went black that I realized that I was in a cold sweat.
Kiro is an Evolver…? Doesn’t everyone love him? Is it the influence of his Evol?
–
No, from his business ability, dealing with people, and his serious attitude when it comes to performing, his strength is the real deal…
Wait, is my judgment on him now also influenced by Evol?
I leaned back against the corner of the table, my thoughts a little messy. *Changed some wording*
In the depressing atmosphere, someone else handed over the props tremblingly. I took it in a frenzy, checked two lines before I realized it, and dropped the pen.
–
“Didn’t I ask you to find the person in charge?”
“Well, she’s in the practise room now… Kiro is also inside…”
The rest of the sentence no longer needed to be said. I walked to the practice room distractedly, the door behind me slowly closing out the icy atmosphere. After a muffled sound, the discussion in the room was finally cut off.
The corridor that used to be crowded was surprisingly quiet at this moment, and occasionally a staff member approached him with panic between his brows and eyes. After passing by a few people, my angered brain gradually calmed down, but I didn’t consciously slow down.
–
… No wonder everyone avoids it, who isn’t afraid of being controlled by Evol?
Ask yourself, at this moment, can I face Kiro without any grudges?
The wind in the corridor picked up again, and there was a muffled sound of doors closing at the other end of the corridor. I looked up and saw two figures standing side by side at the door of the practice room— the young girl stood stiffly in place, and Kiro turned towards her, leaning over and saying something with a gentle expression. The two of them then immediately walked into the distance together.
–
Now I was trotting a few steps to stop them, but it was too late.
… Hurry up.
Reason is urging me in a low voice, but the breathing is involuntarily tight as I go to take a step. Watching their figures gradually fade away, I was inexplicably relieved. *Wording was weird here*
–
I haven’t figured out what kind of mood I want to face Kiro with. In such a situation, he himself should be the most indecisive, and it may not be the right choice to cooperate with him now. I also need time to deal with the fluctuating situation in the team. Now is not a good time to go through with the cooperation… I think calmly, even if the list in my hand has been wiped out.
Perhaps seeing my hesitant gaze, Kiro’s figure in the distance froze and looked at me unexpectedly. I turned around subconsciously and left in a hurry, pretending to be passing by.
[Chapter 4]
The storm was more severe than expected.
Everyone’s depressed mood spreads in the team, and there are many rehearsal scenes to be done in the rain. Kiro is dancing in the centre of the storm and the microphone is being debugged on the stage.
A text message sounded unexpectedly, and my eyes shot wide open. As expected, of course, is the news of the resignation.
—Director Wang, I have decided to quit the team. I’m really sorry. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future.
–
—Well, not reluctantly. When are you leaving? Make the handover.
—Within the week. The artists I followed are also preparing for the stage. If you don’t want to go into this muddy water, please feel free to contact me.
My fingertips hovered over the screen for a moment.
Maybe leaving is a better choice, but from the day I stepped into this industry, I never gave up on any stage. Exiting now is tantamount to letting everyone’s efforts go to waste, including me, and Kiro.
–
I subconsciously glanced toward the stage.
The spotlight on Kiro was hot and bright, reminiscent of the same long-lasting lights and almost uninterrupted melody in the practice room. It was just as he had promised me.
If he still persists as the target of public criticism, maybe I can accompany him if it goes a little further.
I weighed the options until I heard Kiro’s singing.
–
Clear and melodious, it reminds people of the blue sky in summer and the quiet stars of midnight. In his soft humming, my restless heart gradually calmed down. At the end of the song, I suddenly came back to my senses. The singing is short, but I seemed to have encountered a pure and unyielding soul. This is the power of music, not the result of Evol’s confusion. My palms were slightly sweaty as I stared at the figure under the spotlight.
“Turn down the frequency of the transponder a little more, and tune it by a halftone.”
Kiro opened his mouth, he picked up the microphone stand and walked around the stage a few times before standing a little further away. “Move to here, the view of the metronome is clearer.”
–
“What do you think, Director Wang?” Kiro turned to look at me: “What else do you think needs to be improved?”
All the disturbing emotions were left behind. I strode forward to get the ideas in my head and put them all together.
— Together with Kiro, we will definitely be able to create the best concert.
This thought popped into my mind, inexplicably and with certainty.
–
Practising over and over again, the days passed quickly, and finally, the day of the concert came. The pitch of the VCR was intense, but the atmosphere in the venue was somewhat deserted.
“Notify Kiro, prepare to play.”
I sighed heavily. Although it was expected long ago, the current scene is still a bit disappointing. I don’t know if Kiro’s state will be affected…
–
I thoughtfully walked backstage to inspect but saw Kiro’s familiar figure in the corridor. I followed his line of sight, and my eyes fell on the sparse flower basket. The pomp of the celebrations at the moment may not be comparable to the previous ones. I couldn’t help but feel a little worried, but I saw Kiro move.
He leaned over to the flower basket, smoothed out the folds on the ribbon, and flipped through the childish or dashing messages on it one by one.
—“The little sodas will always support you!”
—“I wish the concert a success!”
–
—“Looking forward to Lolo’s performance, let’s go!”
…
“Okay, I will do my best.”
Kiro responded softly, his blue eyes did not blink, as if taking those words to heart.
I gave an order to the staff member who slowly leaned in towards him: “There are only five minutes left till stage time.”
“I’m here.”
–
Kiro picked up the sunflowers that were teetering on the edge of the flower basket. After putting them back in place, he glanced at it, turned and walked towards the stage.
The young girl in charge was waiting behind the lifting platform. She raised her hand to adjust Kiro’s collar, like putting in the last piece of armour for a soldier. Her eyes were as warm and firm as ever. In hindsight, I thought that no matter what kind of sparring they went through these days, the expressions that she and Kiro gave each other never changed. Even if the road ahead is uncertain, they can probably go on together without fear.
–
Savin hurriedly ran in front of me, and the pattern of the flyer flashed in the gap of the briefcase. I didn’t know where he ran to distribute the flyer. Until now…
I looked away from the three people standing side by side and took out the walkie-talkie. I don’t know why, but the voice was a little dull.
“… Standing, three, two, one, start.”
[Chapter 5]
Amid the tidal wave of cheers, the concert briefly came to a successful conclusion. At the late-night celebration feast, dozens of wine glasses were raised high in a circle, making a series of crisp sounds amid the cheers.
The noisy conversation of asking for advice is endless, but it is like a crackling charcoal fire in winter, which makes people feel a little warmer in their hearts. I leaned back comfortably on the chair and squinted, my eyes glanced over one of the staff members. Seeing Savin’s smiling face, I suddenly felt a little melancholy.
–
If I hadn’t wavered, maybe I could proudly recall the days when I fought side by side with Kiro. But, the act of turning away that day was like a tiny thorn stabbing my heart, preventing me from basking in pure joy.
… I should apologize for my doubts.
I paced my way through the staggered crowd, looking around for Kiro. After a long while, I finally saw the familiar figure on the terrace. He was leaning on the railing and quietly staring at the stars in the night sky. I stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
–
Kiro turned his head sharply, and when he saw it was me, he relaxed.
“Director Wang.” Kiro raised his glass with a smile: “Thank you. Thanks to your overall control and design, tonight’s performance was very successful.”
“The stage is truly completed when the performance is completed because you performed well.” I sighed lightly while holding the wine glass: “Actually, I came to say…”
–
All kinds of apologetic words came to mind, ranging from the doubts I once had against him, and for the intentional or unintentional harm. But when I met Kiro’s clear eyes, my throat tightened, and I swallowed the words back.
On the way forward, this young man has already determined his direction, just like the clouds and smoke that will only disappear in front of the dazzling sun. Misunderstandings from the outside world cannot easily shake his mind. At this point, everyone who witnessed this concert should have no more suspicious feelings.
–
The unspoken apology seemed frivolous at this moment. I paused, looked into his eyes, and touched his glass calmly: “This is the most brilliant stage I have ever witnessed, and I hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”
Hey! So if anyone was wondering, I am planning on translating Kiro’s latest R&S from the new chapters in the CN server. However, I may have to wait until the weekend to actually complete it . I am most likely moving across the country, so I’m just in the midst of preparing for that
April Fool’s! Except there are no jokes today, only pain
This is a little clip and translation of Kiro’s section in S2 Chapter 27 in the CN server. You can find more translations of this chapter hereon@keliosyfan’s blog.
*Translation below the cut. If you wish to not be spoiled or receive emotional damage, please don’t look below the cut.*
Although he is no longer “3684”, as long as he sees this man, he still couldn’t help the urge to retch.
Kiro: Do your thing and don’t touch me.
The gauze trembled back to its original position, and a gleaming white light re-entered his ears.
In an instant, it became extremely painful and itchy, as if countless thorns were growing recklessly inside.
Kiro:[SCREAMS] …… ! *FUCK. THAT HURT SO BAD *
He had tried countless times to restore his hearing, but he never thought that it would be Dr. Dre who would bring him this “hope”.
Disgusted instinct made him want to find another way, but there was no time, and those people were more than warning him.
