Love Me No More..

Little Steps

"So we are signing up the new drama for you. You're okay with it right?

"Mn."

The manager sighed as the guy gave him a curt reply.

Wang Yibo has always been like this. He merely talks. But there was only this one person they knew, who could make him speak heartily after what he faced six months back.

"Here's the script for you. The director has sent it.. in case you want to know how your character is likely to be."

"Hm."

"And if you have any queries you want to solve.. talk to Yu Han. He knows the details too."

"Okay I will."

The manager walked out, and gestured the other guy at the door to get in.

Wang Yibo was in a trance as he stood at balcony, staring into nothing while he inhaled another puff of his fifth cigarette that hour.

He didn't really care, which drama they are assigning him. He just knows he will have to do his best in acting out the character he was provided.

He didn't budge when he heard the manager unlocking the door of his room, to leave. He didn't budge when the door clicked open and then was locked again, accompanied with a different set of footsteps.

He knew who it was.

"Yibo Ge! You're smoking?"

Yibo subtly nodded and turned to face the man, and smiled softly.

"Wanna take a puff?"

"Why not!", The guy kept the files in his hands and went to stand beside the other.

'I told you! Don't smoke! It's not healthy!'

Yibo shook his head as if trying to suppress the very familiar voice inside his head. He looked at the other and passed his cigar to him.

"Yu Han, you really like smoking, huh?"

"Yeah. Especially when it's with you.", The guy said as he took long puffs.

"Manager Liu was here.. he was talking about some drama.. what is it? What kind of role do I have to play?"

"Now you're speaking! This production house is really popular for the good dramas they have produced. You're gonna love it."

"Oh."

Yu Han chuckled shortly.

"You're gonna play the role of some policeman, chasing the love of his life."

"Same cliche love stories.", Yibo huffed.

"No. You're going to have a love rival from the army. You both are gonna have some fight scenes too."

"It's still cliche, Yu Han."

"Well.. not really. Its not like.. the girl will choose one guy to leave the other hurt. She's gonna make sure, she cuts ties with both guys at the end."

"That's weird. Then what's the use of all the fighting."

"Not weird. Its called unique, Yibo Ge!"

Yibo gave him a look and took back his cigar and smoked again. Yu Han chuckled and stretched his body before he hugged the other from the back.

"It's already late. I think I shall stay back tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Yibo Ge."

"Hm?"

"I love you."

Yibo smiled as he took Yu Han's hands in his and pecked his palms.
