ENDLESS LOVE_ZHANYI [COMPLETED]

Chapter 18

Few days passed by and they were already getting along well. Yibo got another good friend, and maybe there's a feeling more than friend. Zhan's wounds finally recovered and he was ready to be the art model. 

"What do you think , who'll be the model Yibo.?" Hai Kuan asked curiously to Yibo. "How do I know?" Yibo uttered with a smirked. "Good morning. Here's our new model." The teacher came in and gestured at the door. 

Leisurely Zhan walked in wearing a bathrobe. He was shy and avoiding the ultimate gaze of the people. He could clearly hear Yibo's dry chuckle. He looked up to Yibo's direction and pouted in anger. "This is Xiao Zhan. He'll be the model for today's class."  Teacher said. The students greeted Zhan, while Yibo smirked and waved his hand at Zhan. 

"You have got quite close to him huh?! I see." Kuan snapped and smirked at Yibo, who chuckled back at him. Everyone got busy with their portraits. Zhan removed his robe. He was very shy wearing only a boxer. He coughed a bit and sat to take a pose. 

An hour later they were done with the class. Zhan huffed and puffed . His body got stiffen and ached all over as he sat in one posture for an hour. When everyone left Yibo approached to Zhan. "Tired?" He snapped. "Very much." Zhan said while stretching his arms and legs. 

"Thank you so much for your help today, here's for your time." The teacher came in and handed an envelop of money to Zhan. Zhan thanked her and went to get change. Yibo was waiting for Zhan. 

Zhan came out after changing. " Ge Ge, please have meal with us." A girl came and uttered. "Yes please." "Please.. Please." Suddenly many of the girls started approaching him. Zhan was dumbstruck. He eyed Yibo in a gesture to help. Yibo was already sulky and decided to avoid. He wasn't happy, them being too close to him. It was like those girls were lingering over him. 

"Do you want me to accompany you.? Since your lover is busy with those ladies." Kuan teased Yibo. Yibo punched him hard at his shoulder. Without looking back at Zhan he walked off. Zhan somewhat laughed seeing Yibo's sulky and grumpy attitude.

'Does this means he likes me too? ....Zhan don't think too much. That kid is always grumpy. Isn't he?' Zhan thought to himself still trying to set himself free of them. "Fine. I'll go." Zhan sighed, when they stopped lingering. 

Later noon

"Still sulky? Hmm!!" Zhan approached Yibo who was sitting in the corridor with his headphones on. Zhan handed the hamburger he bought for Yibo. "Take this." he said and sat next to Yibo. 

"Are you full enough. ? Must be happy seeing all crowding you?" Yibo said with a sulky face. "Is Yibo sulking coz of those girls?" Zhan said and squeezed Yibo's cheeks. "Who's sulking? Don't be so full of yourself. I'm just tired." Yibo slapped off Zhan's hand and huffed in anger.

"Really? You're not jealous ,are you?" Zhan said while laughing. "No. It's just irritating. Your popularity." Yibo snapped and rolled his eyes. 

"Oh! Didn't you also want to have meal with me. Why you left?" Zhan asked. "I'm no more hungry. " Yibo was pouting. Zhan's heart skipped a beat at that cute face. He stared for a while admiring the young one. "What?" Yibo mumbled when he felt the obvious stare. 

"Nothing. Have this. I bought it for you. Please. I'll open for you. Eat this. Please." Zhan mumbled sweetly and unwrapped the cover of the hamburger. "No!!" Yibo turned away. "Fine! I'll have then." Zhan said and took it near his face. Yibo turned. He drooled and gulped down his own saliva. "Want it." Zhan asked . 

Yibo nodded his head pouting. "You're so cute. Take it." Zhan uttered chuckling. He shuffled Yibo's hair and handed the burger to him. Yibo huffed and turned away from Zhan. 

Zhan couldn't help but laughed louder at his cuteness. 

Sometime later , Yibo's phone started to ring. "Hello ! What is it Youn Ge?" Yibo uttered. Zhan's face lost it's smile. "What?... What should we do now.?" Yibo continued to talk and Zhan stared at Yibo in curiousness. 

"Okay I'll be there soon." Yibo said and hung up. Zhan was waiting to know the matter. "What is it?" Zhan asked as he couldn't wait longer. "I'll tell you later. I need to hurry home. "

"Okay than let me drive you home?" Zhan said. " Ahh! Okay." Yibo said while checking onto his phone that beeped. " Wait. Take me to corner Café. He's there." Yibo uttered in hurry , while they ran to his car. 

They reached there a little late merging through the traffic. Youn was waiting by the gate for him. "Ge! Where's dad? " Yibo ran to Youn. Zhan walked slowly from behind. "He's inside. Let's go in now." Youn said while gesturing to get in.

"Wait. Do you want to go in there too.? I think you should wait here." Yibo dragged Youn by his arm and snapped out. Youn hummed and stepped down the stair. "Fine . Trust me. I'll manage." Yibo assured him and quickly walked in. Youn and Zhan left out. They stared at each other for a while and Youn approached nearing to Zhan. 

"Well... You should stop holding back your feelings from him." Youn uttered to Zhan in a serous tone. Zhan glanced at him with wide eyes. He stopped breathing for a moment. "If you really like Bo, you need to let him know." Youn said in a assuring tone. Zhan breathed out heavily.

Zhan agape his mouth to speak but Youn continued, "Do you want me to help you?" He smirked at Zhan. 

"It's Okay Ge. It's my business , I'll handle it." Zhan replied hoarsely and smirked back. "Good. Wish you don't wait until it's too late. Coz you may not realize that , my mom and Bo's dad are discussing about our engagement." Youn snapped out. Zhan frowned at the sudden statement. It sting his heart and he felt dizzy. It wasn't that he dreamt of marrying that rich kid, but it pained him with the fact that he'll be married to else and not him. 

Zhan sighed and just stared at Youn. He was at loss of words.  "Do you still don't want my help?" Youn asked. "I admit , I...I.. like him... But can you tell me you won't feel bad if I date him.?" Zhan dared to ask Youn. Zhan saw Youn frowning at the query. "Why will I?" Youn said still frowning. Zhan said no more and stared back into Youn's eyes ,as if wanted to dig out the bunch of secrets.   

Meanwhile Yibo ran up to the table where their parents were talking. "Dad!" Yibo almost screamed and startled both the elderly. " What is it?" Mr. Wang asked while looking at Yibo in confusion. 

Yibo was panting as he ran in. " I can't marry Youn Ge. Dad I can't ." Yibo said between his pants. "Huh! What ? Why so?" Youn's mom uttered in shock as she stood from her chair. Yibo's dad kept quiet and decided to hear him out. 

"Did something happen. Did Youn hurt you. I'll talk to him. But..." She uttered in dismay, but Yibo stopped her. 

"No auntie. It's me. I...I... Like someone from my Uni. And I've been liking him for a long time." Yibo uttered lowering his head. "It's him again. I only accepted Youn coz he........" Mr. Wang's words died down. He felt uneasy. couldn't think of another guy being with Yibo.

There was a moment of awkwardness. There was a lurk of frown in everyone's face. While Zhan and Youn still stayed quiet , but uncomfortably along each other.

Will it be a new start Or a start to new misery. ?
