Chapter 2

Adrian chuckled. “I’m helping you by letting them understand you better.”

“Don’t you want more friends to play with you?”

What Adrian called playing with me was a group of people bullying me.

My roommates always threw my blanket downstairs.

I had no choice but to go downstairs to pick it up, and when I came back, they locked me outside the door.

“He’s so disgusting. He actually liked his own brother. Just being around him makes me want to puke.”

Even in the classroom, my seat was moved next to the trash can.

They laughed loudly. “Disgusting gays should sit with disgusting garbage!”

Adrian held up a video of me being pinned down and bullied on the rooftop and played it in front of me.

“Adrian Gray, I already don’t like you anymore. What else do you want from me?”

Adrian pinched my chin. “Ethan Miller, don’t use such a boring trick to fool me.”

“I know your illness still isn’t cured.”

“During your time at the conversion center, you were always secretly writing my name behind everyone’s back.”

“I’m helping you. I’m helping you cure your illness.”

I widened my eyes in terror and looked at him.

“You were watching me!”

Adrian sneered. “I’m your brother. I have a duty to help cure your illness.”

Adrian was right. During my time at the conversion center, I had once secretly carved his name into the wall.

I thought that as long as I hid it well enough, I could go home sooner.

During those days at the conversion center, Adrian was my last hope.

What Adrian called helping cure my illness was making me suffer even worse bullying.

They dragged me into the bathroom and humiliated me however they wanted.

“Take off his pants. I want to see how a gay guy is different from us.”

Adrian watched coldly as they stripped off my pants, and I crawled to his feet and begged him.

“Adrian, help me…”

Adrian bent down and looked at me, his camera pointed at me. “This is the best way to cure you.”

I lay naked on the floor, my whole body cold.

They took photos of me from every angle.

Those photos were posted on the school forum.

The caption read: Twenty dollars a time, do whatever you want.

When people passed me, they only spat out one insult. “Disgusting. Shameless.”
