Huxton seemed to have typed out his harrowing experience in a hurry. Some of the sentences even had some grammatical errors, but it gave his long article a little more authenticity and credibility.
Three years ago, Huxton was still 14 years old. By chance, he got the opportunity to play a role in "Youthful Days". In the drama, he played the younger brother of the male lead. Well-behaved and shy, he only knew that he had to follow in James' footsteps. He admired James a lot.
Although Huxton was young at the time, he did become interested in acting. Even if he only had a few scenes, he still memorized his lines very seriously every day. He took the initiative to ask James about acting skills.
James had been very friendly toward Huxton. On multiple occasions, James told Huxton he regarded him as his actual younger brother. Huxton felt happy at that time and didn't think much about it.
When James put his arms around Huxton's shoulders and leaned his head into the crook of his neck to laugh, Huxton just took it as a sign that they were young boys who got along well. However, as the filming went on, Huxton noticed that James would always try to make physical contact with him in various ways.
Once, they were filming the scene where James won a varsity team competition and came home to hug Huxton excitedly. Back when it happened, Huxton was stunned for a moment, but the director thought that the interaction was great and praised it.
Huxton didn't know better. So, he thought that was what it meant to act, and assumed that the other actors in the entertainment industry did this too.
Later, there was a scene where the two brothers were fighting. James went on to pin him down on the bed. Huxton was still ignorant at the time, but he was subconsciously a little disgusted. Then, he began to distance himself from James.
Fortunately, he didn't have many scenes. Soon, he only had a few scenes left before the show was complete. When the filming was about to come to a wrap, James came on to him when he went to the restroom.
James blocked his way and said that he liked Huxton. And if Huxton wanted it, he could ask the director to add a few more scenes for him, and he could introduce Huxton to more projects in the future.
He wanted to completely isolate himself from that memory. But after James became popular after the drama aired, his Internet presence became more pronounced. Huxton would inevitably see some news about him, including the one where he was rumored to be dating a female idol last year. Both James and that female idol had not dispelled the rumors and seemed to admit to it implicitly.
Huxton wasn't sure if James still liked young boys as he did back then. He held onto that thought until he watched the livestream today and saw Kai being disgusted at having his palm touched. Upon seeing that, he realized that James never changed.
He wrote: "After I wrote all this, I was hesitant to publish it because I knew that I might have to endure a repeat of the experience from three years ago when his fans came after me. Ultimately, I decided that I must not stay silent.
"As I am about to become an adult, I don't want this shadow to loom over me in my future life. I do not wish to see children who have been in a similar situation as I feel lost and helpless with nowhere and no one to turn to."
