Phi is by the window looking at the moon and Raymond begs him to come to bed, where he is waiting with Danny and Karna. Phi goes and sits on top of him. He thinks that Raymond is a good guy, one of his oldest friends and they’ve slept together dozens of times but he just doesn’t feel like doing it so he moves again and sits on the bed wondering why that might be. Douglas hugs him from behind, asks him if he is playing hard to get and licks his neck. Phi pushes him away, shocking everyone, including himself. He apologises and Karna saves him saying that he’s been feeling bad and he should go. Phi leaves and realises he now feels reluctant to selling his body and wonders what he’s going to do now. Apollo is in his room (after having drunk a whole bottle of alcohol) thinking about how his indecisiveness has hurt Phi. He understands that being with his clients is Phi’s job, but he can’t stand anymore people who are precious to him being taken away from him right before his eyes.
At this point he realises that he loves Phi but wonders whether it’s now too late since it’s already past opening time. He snaps out of it and runs to the main building. He overhears some waiters saying they should call the owner because there’s a bird causing problems and when they tell him that it’s Phi, he rushes to the room. There he finds Phi on the floor and a client yelling indignantly asking to talk to the owner because he only touched Phi’s shoulder but he pushed him. Apollo grabs Phi and takes him to his room where he hugs him. A scared Phi breaks down and grabs onto him saying that he hates selling himself after all. Apollo says that he knows and leans in for a kiss. Phi stops him and anxiously asks him: “Am I the only one? Should there be only one partner? Am I the only one now?” Apollo holds his face, looks him lovingly in the eyes, tells him that he’s the only one and kisses him.
Disclaimer: I'm not too sure what Phi means with "Should there be only one partner?" but that's what Mr. Google said. I'll wait for some reviews to come out to see what they think and I'll report back.
Spoiler!
And that’s all folks! The 3rd rule has been broken! My only gripe with an otherwise amazing chapter is that we don’t actually see the kiss! 😭 We see their open mouths getting closer and a bird’s-eye view of the kiss where Apollo’s head is blocking the view of Phi’s face. Given that it will take at least a year before we can read the next chapter, I think Zariya should have shown some lip action. BUT maybe this is just a me problem ‘cause I’m a thirsty kiss hoe. In any case, for now, we can look forward to the physical release of volume 3, the CD drama and all the extra stories that lauch with them and hope that everything goes smooth sailing for Zariya health-wise and that they actually break the 2nd rule immediately after this chapter 😆 PS. I hope this becomes the cover of volume 3, because it’s frikkin gorgeous https://tshop.r10s.jp/book/cabinet/8835/9784829638835_1_2.jpg?downsize=600:*
Well, well, another amazing gift from you @Kali85, I don't know how to thank you, and sorry for not seing this before. I don't know how I am going to wait for so long to see them together at last but we can all dream about it! Thank you again, you are amazing...if possible, can you tell me where I can read this chapter?? ❤️
@kali85, sorry, I wrote my reply to you so fast and I wanted to post so quickly that I didn't check for mistakes... *seeing *where can I read Ok, now I feel better😊 Please tell me, if you can, where to read ch19🙏
@Ven. Hi! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. I purchased original magazine in Japanese and translated it myself. I'm afraid there is no scanlation online.
@Mojave Hehe! Don't worry. I'm exactly the same when it comes to typos. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. I purchased original magazine in Japanese and translated it myself. I'm afraid there is no scanlation online.
@Mojave And thank you again for your incredibly kind words! ❤️ I know! A year is way too long! My only consolation is that when the third volume and CD drama are released a bunch of extra booklets will also be lauched and I'm planning on getting my hands on as many as I can! 😊 (PS. There's still no lauch date, unfortunately).
@Mojave I can't delete my previous comment so I'll correct it here. I've just seen that chapter 19 was posted just a few days ago in Russian. Google Птица из Шангри-Ла and you'll be able to read chapter 19 as well as all previous chapters ;)
