when Jaylen Park and Cassian Bergman cross the fine line between rivals and lovers they have to reevaluate everything they have ever known because straight guys don't kiss other guys, especially their teammates, and they sure as hell don't sleep wit...

I'VE ONLY WORN a suit a couple of times in my life. The first memory is at my harabeoji (grandpa) funeral when I was seven. I don't remember much of it but there was a lot of crying. I don't remember if I did or not because harabeoji was such a hardass when it came to me. He didn't speak English and would always criticize me for not knowing Korean properly. I wore a suit again for my middle school and high school graduation. Both suits were a size too big that my halmeoni (grandma) got from rent-a-tuxedo places not too far from we lived. That goes without saying, I hate suits and don't have any fond memories of them either.
"I tried to pick ones that I think you'd like or seemed more in your comfort zone. Try this on," Karina held up a button-up. Its fabric wasn't something I'd ever worn before and neither were the purple and pink ombré colors on it. I raised a brow at her, "C'mon now Rina, be serious. Do I look like I would wear something like that?"
"Sies Marjan is for everyone," she retorts, sending me a look like that was the most hurtful thing she's ever heard as she snatches the shirt away from me.
When I told everyone I was going to dinner with the Zetas I expected mixed reactions. Froy and Caleb laughed at me and after a good twenty minutes when they realized I was serious they couldn't believe it and bombarded me with questions about myself thinking I had been kidnapped and brainwashed. Idris just said "that's nice Jaylen," and went back to reading his book that's just how Idris is, but when I told Karina I was thinking of becoming a Zeta I swear the girl started levitating and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
I don't think I've ever seen her like this before, and when I told her I had to wear a suit, the demon inside her only worsened. She grew wings and within minutes she was knocking on my dorm with a rack of clothes behind her. Within seconds she's in my dressing me up like some Ken doll and I just know she's living her fantasy through me, having her way with me and not the way we're used to.
I slumped further into my bed and without warning, Marina flung the shirt at my face. "Can you at least try it on? You don't have time for the games. The dinner is tonight and we still don't have anything for you to wear." she grumbles under her breath, obviously annoyed with me which only intrigued me more, to be honest.
"Can you at least find something a little more subtle? I don't like to stand out." I told her with a huff.
Karina eyed me, taking the shirt from my lap and hanging it back up with the other clothes. "Well, you're Jaylen Park so you already do . . ." she says lowly, before turning her attention back to the other clothes hanging up behind her. After a while, she picks out a new suit before turning back to me. "How about this?"
This time the outfit consists of a plain faded black button-up and a black top with matching black slacks and a silk black tie. Again, it's not anything I'd wear in my daily life but it's better than that cotton candy shirt. I blinked at the clothes for a minute before turning back to him. "See now this is more my style. Simple and to the point."
