"Zhan Ge! When did you lose your mom." Yibo asked in a quiet tone. " Umm! I was about twelve by then." Zhan said while scratching his head in manner to remember the past. "I was ten." Yibo uttered in a lowest tone. 

Zhan noticed Yibo was paining. ' He misses her a lot. So do I.' He thought to himself. "By the way, talking of mom. There's a place I want to take you to. Will you go tomorrow if you're free.?" Zhan asked while holding onto Yibo's shoulder and patting a bit to comfort him. 

"Okay . But where? " Yibo asked while staring at Zhan. "You'll see." Zhan smiled brightly while squeezing the other's shoulder. "And I'll pick you up. We'll ride my bike. Alright." Zhan tagged along. "Sure." Yibo grinned with a pair of dazzling eyes staring the other. 

Yibo drove back home. It was a satisfying day for both of them. They enjoyed each other's company. 

Next Day

Zhan was busy searching a decent dress for himself. Now that he wanted to dress good. He sighed and started to dig into his wardrobe. "Auntie is right. I really don't have anything good." Zhan huffed. After a while of good search he picked one and got dressed.

Meanwhile Yibo was waiting at the place Zhan asked him to. He was before hand. Zhan still had more than half an hour in his hand. Yibo scrolled through his phone being bored. 

"Did I make you wait longer?" Yibo was startled by the familiar voice. He saw Zhan removing his helmet , while smiling at him. "You came?" Yibo smiled. "What's so much there that you didn't see me coming?" Zhan pointed at the phone and asked with a smirk lurking on his face.

"Nothing. Let's go." Yibo said and climbed at the back seat. He hesitantly hold onto Zhan's shoulder. "Hold tight." Zhan instructed while pressing on the accelerator. Zhan knowingly rode faster, and unconsciously Yibo's hands wrapped around the other's thin waist. He finally led out a satisfying mirk under the helmet. 

 They reached after about twenty minutes of ride merging through the traffic.

"Mall.?" Yibo exclaimed on seeing the huge building in front of him. "Umm-hmm. Come." Zhan said and they walked in. Zhan walked up to a ring shop counter. Yibo followed along the retreating figure.  

"Can you make a copy o this ring." Zhan took out a box with a ring in it and showed it to the counter lady. "Yes , sir." She replied seeing it. "Okay . Then can I get it by next Wednesday. " Zhan asked while dropping back the box into his pocket. 

"Okay Sir. You can call us in this number to ask once before coming." Lady handed him a card. She made the bill and took a little amount in advance. "Thank You." Zhan said and turn his attention to the man beside. "Let's go." He said to Yibo and curled up his fingers onto the other's elbow. 

Meanwhile Yibo was staring at the ring with a little confusion. "Zhan Ge ! Why do I feel so familiar with the ring? " Yibo finally snapped out of his curiosity. Zhan turned to look at him. "Coz this is the ring in my dad's necklace. So you feel this." Zhan said and pinched at Yibo's nose playfully. Yibo thought for a while, it seemed like the reply wasn't satisfying but he replied in a smile. "Yes that can be possible." 

They were out of the mall. "Why do you make a replica of it?" Yibo asked being curious while he perfectly fixed his eyes on the Zhan's face. "These always used to be two of them. One belonged to mom. but that got lost the day she died. So here's I make another. I finally have some money for it. I saved all these years." Zhan said with a smile , being satisfied with his achievement. 

They walked up to a nearby park and settled down on a bench. "Why do you need it by Wed then?" Yibo's was full of curiousness. " Coz on Thursday it's mom's death anniversary." Zhan replied. 

Yibo was startled. " Next Thursday? On August 25th!!" He exclaimed with a frown. "Mmm. Why? What is it?" Zhan asked , he caressed his knuckles on the Yibo's shoulder seeing him frowning. "My mom. She.. She too died on the same day. It's her death anniversary too." Yibo snapped while staring directly into Zhan. 

"What a coincidence?" Zhan said with a smile. "Yes. We have lot in common. Weird right?" Yibo snapped out. Both giggled at the same time. Zhan really started feeling warmer with this kiddo. 

That evening Zhan was busy with his stall. And as usual whistle started and everyone started making a mess. They were about to run but one of the Security catch hold onto Zhan's hand. "Sir. Let go please. We haven't sold anything yet." Yubin tried to plead. It was of no use.

Zhan panicked. If he get's home late then Mrs. Lee will be angry. "Can You please land me your phone.?" Zhan asked Yubin. He handed the phone and Zhan called, "Hello! What is it Zhan Ge?" Yibo answered in a sweet tone, from the other side. "Can you do me a favor please?" Zhan pleaded while making puppy face, even when the other person won't see his expression.

"Yes . What is it.?" Zhan explained the situation in one go and hung up. 

'He trusts me. He wants to rely on me. Zhan Ge ! I won't disappoint you.' Yibo thought to himself, while hurriedly dressed. Yibo went to Zhan's home to take care of Mr. Xiao as per Zhan said. It wasn't really hard for him since, Mr. Xiao never makes fuss with him, like he does to the others. He obeys Yibo's words like a good child.  

Zhan was very tired dealing with them. He returned late at night. Walking up inside the quiet house, Zhan leisurely walked up to his dad's room. His heart skipped a beat seeing Yibo sleeping soundly near his dad. It was a breathtaking scene for him. Yibo was sitting on the floor while resting his head over his arms at the night stand. 

Zhan smiled at the view. He felt immense happiness seeing both of them sleeping soundly. As if all his tiredness vanished. He stood there and adorned the vision. 

'I never believed in red-thread. But right now I want to call the angels , that I believed never existed, to make Yibo my soulmate. Yes I agree I have fallen for him. I wish red-thread tie our hearts forever......'  Zhan thought to himself while starring at the beauty . 

He walked nearer to have a close glance at the younger man. Zhan trailed his hands over the other's face with utmost softness. A smile cling onto his lips. 

Yibo got alert and pulled up his head. " You're back Zhan Ge." Yibo asked and smiled at Zhan who just came and sat next to him. "Umm! Thank you so much Yibo." Zhan said and stroke his fingers through Yibo's hair. The later one seemed relax by the act of the older. 

Both smiled at each other. Their souls already started to get tied up. But it was never that easy to achieve what you want right? Will they be free to love?

"Do you want me to accompany you home?" Zhan asked while walking out with Yibo. "No need. I don't want your dad to be alone again." Yibo said calmly as he stared into the other's eyes with concern. 

"Are you okay to drive alone then?" Zhan asked in concern. "Yes. I'm all sober. see." Yibo said pointing at his face and widening his eyes for Zhan to look. 

"Thank you again. " Zhan whispered. " Well do me a favor back then." Yibo said with a smirk. Zhan stared at the younger with a querying face. Yibo stared into Zhan's body from up to bottom. "Can you favor me with your body then." Yibo said giggling while his eyes lingered onto the elder's privates. "Huh!!" Zhan snapped and unconsciously his hand travelled and covered his pubes.  Yibo laughed louder at the actions. 

Zhan stared at Yibo , still his hands over his member. "Be the model in our art class. We need a model to draw." Yibo said while laughing at frowning Zhan. " Then I say you're doing it. Thank you." Yibo snapped without letting Zhan reply. Zhan heaved a sigh in defeat.

Yibo left for his home, giggling and laughing.
