He was even forced to read a lot of his and Tyler's fanfictions. Little did he anticipate the explicit and sometimes obscene fanfictions would make his cheeks flush.

Though he frequented nightclubs, he never expected to find himself blushing due to fictional stories!

Cole understood that fans harbored fantasies about their on-screen chemistry.

However, what puzzled him was his consistent position as the subordinate in most fanfictions.

He towered over Tyler in stature and strength, so logic dictated that he should assume the dominant role!

Suffused with thoughts of Tyler, Cole began to question his sanity!

After the interview, Tyler and Cole exited together. Just as they reached the door, a staff member called out to them.

“Tyler.”

Hearing the name, Cole instinctively turned his head and asked, "What?"

“He forgot his pen." The staff member handed over the pen with a smile, playfully winking at Cole.

"Seems like you two get along well."

With an embarrassed smile, Cole couldn't help but think their relationship was far from good. This staff member was seeing things.

His head had turned involuntarily because of a conditioned response. Lately, he had been hearing a lot about Tyler.

Cole intended to take the pen, but Tyler swiftly extended his slender hand, revealing a small black mole on his index finger. During his observations of Tyler, Cole had taken note of it.

His gaze followed the pen, and Cole locked eyes with Tyler.

Tyler shot him a disgusted look, believing Cole was still pretending to get along well with him. He disdainfully dropped the pen into his coat pocket, then turned around and hastily left.

Driven by instinct, Cole trailed behind him. Unbeknownst to them, the staff member behind them discreetly snapped a few photos of their backs and posted them online with the caption, "I ship them."

Realizing he was being followed by Cole, Tyler deliberately took a few detours, eventually leading Cole to an empty storage room. Abruptly, he pulled Cole inside and delivered a swift punch to his stomach.

Cole had no time to react to the sudden attack. Pain coursed through him, and though he tried to resist, he found himself pinned against the wall by Tyler's strength.

Tyler was undeniably powerful. Cole widened his eyes as he struggled.
