ENDLESS LOVE_ZHANYI [COMPLETED]

Chapter 13

'This is the first time, I'm ditching everything and run to someone else. But this isn't my dad.' Zhan talked with his own mind. ' Am I doing it right or digging my own grave ?' his mind ruffled at many thoughts. Some sent chills of fear in him. 

By the time he reached. He thought Yibo might be sitting somewhere. He eyes tried to reach corners of the road. And then , he spotted the little angel engulfed within his hurl. The site was disturbing and some what disgusting. Zhan walked closer and closer. 

Yibo was curled into a ball. His face tried to hide in the crook of his knees . His hands locked at the knees. "Yibo! Wang Yibo." Zhan whispered to Yibo on reaching him. Zhan slightly shook him. He didn't got any response. He pulled up Yibo and supported his back. He embraced him and picked him up in bridal style. 

"Youn Ge. Ge your back. Ge I love you. I love only you." Yibo muttered a whisper in extremely low and sleepy voice. " Aiyaa ! This is Zhan. I'm not your Youn." Zhan said and settled at the stairs of a close shop. Yibo was still in his embrace. Yibo leaned his head on Zhan's chest. 

"Ge. You love me right ?" Yibo asked crawling his hand onto Zhan's cheek. "Yibo get out of your own world. Can't you see that bastard already left you?" Zhan hissed in anger while rubbed Yibo's back. 

"He cannot leave me. He will not. You hear me. He loves me. Loves me. love......" Yibo shouted at once and started wailing again. Zhan felt helpless. He never comforted anyone before. That too a heartbroken person. He decided to stay quiet and not to add more pain to the young man. 

"Yibo ! I'm here until you stir up." Zhan said to the crying man and started patting his back. Yibo snuggled more into his chest and sobbed. Yibo kept on calling for Youn between his tears. 

Zhan saw Youn calling to Yibo. But Yibo was in no state to pick it up. "Hey! You bastard. Do you know how's Yibo?" Zhan hissed at Youn. "I know, I know. Just take care of him. It's good your already there. Make him forget about me. Fuck him up . Do whatever you want." Youn screamed back. 

Zhan couldn't speak at defense and the phone already hung up. 'He's fucking unbelievable. I'll kill you , just come in front of me for once' Zhan thought to himself while checking onto Yibo. Young man was clinging onto him and was half asleep . Zhan wiped off the left out tears. He patted Yibo's back so that he completely sleeps away. 

Zhan didn't know what to do. It was already late ten. He decided to wait until Yibo sobers up. He already told Mrs. Lee to take care of his dad, since he was into trouble. So she hesitantly agreed to stay at his house. 

Yibo snuggled closer. He started roaming his hand when he felt a foreign presence. "Huh! Why are you holding me? Where are we?" Yibo pulled out the embrace and muttered in confusion. In a second or so, reality crushed into his mind. 

"Youn Ge left me on the road." He whispered quietly while lowering his head. "Yibo let's get you some water or a cold drink. " Zhan said and pulled up Yibo. Yibo didn't say anything just walked along.  Zhan got him a drink and made him settle at the steps again at the older place. 

"Are you somber enough to listen out?" Zhan asked. "Hmm." Yibo said while sipping to his pipe. "Okay then." Zhan said and sat beside Yibo. Yibo stared into Zhan's orbs. 

"Life doesn't always give what you want. Your still at a good place Yibo. You have a proper place to live. You can talk to your parents. Look at me. I don't have mom to support me and dad's ill." Zhan sighed before continuing. " Yibo learn to let go. If he doesn't love you. Then you need to let go of him and look for someone else. Your handsome , you're young. You'll have a better person." Zhan paused. 

He could see Yibo troubling again to hold back tears. Zhan dared and grasped at Yibo's free hand. "Yibo don't cry. You'll harm yourself. Gather up yourself young man. You have a bright life ahead. " Zhan said squeezing onto Yibo's hand. Yibo smiled bitterly. "My life's already lost a reason to live. Now I lost another reason to live." Yibo said blinking his eyes away. 

Yibo got up and was about to leave but stumbled at his feet and fell back. Zhan was about to pick him up but was stopped by the words left Yibo's mouth, " Don't you come near me ? I'm hurt doesn't mean you'll flatter with me. I did good to you coz I feel pity on you. " Yibo screamed.

Zhan was taken aback. Yibo's words stabbed into all over his body. He clenched his fist yet tried to control his anger. He stood aside and kept his eyes on the young man. Yibo whined in pain and tried to get up. "How do I go home.? Haha ! walking." Yibo asked himself with a bitter chuckle. 

"Drop me home." Yibo said while pointing his finger at Zhan. Zhan eyed him in anger, though he didn't utter anything. "You can't abandon me. You need money I'll pay you. Drop me home." Yibo uttered to Zhan. Zhan's anger raised.

 "I don't need your bloody money. I came running on hearing you. I cared until you sobered up. And this is how you thank. Keep your shits with you."  Zhan screamed at him. Yibo lowered his head and stayed quiet. " Get up. I'll drop you." Zhan said and walked off. Yibo gathered up on his feet and slowly walked towards him.

They didn't talk to each other while returning. Zhan dropped at the address Yibo gave him. Yibo bid him goodbye but Zhan just hummed and rode off. 

Zhan didn't go home. He was in urge to drink wine. He bought himself a bottle of whisky and drank it in one go. He felt numb. Yibo's words haunted him. Zhan couldn't believe his selfless help and care was named as hunger of money. 

Zhan returned home late at night all exhausted.   

Next Morning

Zhan came out of his room. He was having a painful head. Yet he couldn't rest longer. 

"Eat your breakfast." Mrs. Lee was trying to feed Mr. Xiao. Zhan walked up to them. "Good morning." He wished he a low tone. " Uh! A- Zhan come sit. I'll serve you too." Mrs. Lee said and walked to the kitchen. Zhan settled.

"Auntie ! These fruits don't seem to be cheap. They are much fresh." Zhan asked pointing at the fruits placed at the table. "Ahh! Umm ! These.. Uhh... I bought them in half price. It was discount." Mrs. Lee stuttered while lying to Zhan.

Zhan didn't ask more. Suddenly Mr. Xiao dropped a paper airplane in Zhan's lap. He stared at the plane for a while. He quickly unfolded the folds. His face lost it's color. "Auntie did Yibo visited here." Zhan asked in a serious tone. 

"Who ? Who Yibo ? I don't know any Yibo." Mrs. Lee tried to deny in nervousness. "Then how this visit card of exhibition came to my home?" Zhan yelled. "Maybe wind . Yes it's paper. Wind." She said while pointing outside. "I should wash the dishes. " Mrs. Lee was about to get going.

"Auntie tell me the truth. Did Yibo came here?" Zhan asked stopping her by her arm. 

"Well he just asked me to not tell as he wanted to help you as a friend. He wanted to pay you back. That's all." Mrs. Lee spilt it out in nervousness. Zhan banged his hand in the table, it startled his dad. 

"So.... These fruits. The painted wall. All are his shitty money. Auntie you dared to lie me." Zhan screamed on top his lungs,  breathing heavily in anger. He pinned his nailed in his palms. It seems like he was burning hot. Mrs. Lee couldn't utter a word. She was shivering in fear. 

Zhan threw the paper card and walked out off the house. Yibo's words, "I did good to you coz I feel pity for you." Zhan came to realization. The meaning of those words. This was what he called to be doing good. Zhan felt more than frustrated. 

"Hello! What did you say?" Yibo was driving his car and talking on the phone. "Someone wants to buy painting from the gallery. Yes I'll be there soon." Yibo informed. He was smiling. He felt happy , that someone wants his painting. 

"Who could it be ?" Yibo thought to himself.
