Reborn as a Stranger

Chapter 11

Zhan's Pov

Finally we are back to China. It's only been 3 months yet i couldn't shake off the feeling that i had left here for a long time. It's good to be back to your own place though i liked staying in Korea.

It was almost night when we landed. There's a lot happened in the past months. I didn't know i could change myself this much. I think i became more handsome, i'm not bragging though. Everyone around me always complimented me for my looks.

I think it's got to do with my mental state now, cause i'm happy. I'm happier than ever i had been. My mind is calm and there's not much of complicated things to think. My self confidence level is at it's best now. I started to love myself and accept myself.

All thanks to my new family. They helped me to find my way back to life. They helped me to see the world in new light. They were always and still with me. I got the realisation that i'm not alone anymore.

That's aside, i started to work with them in their business. Apparently Yibo is a CEO now despite being awoken just before a few months. To tell that I'm amazed is an understatement. He could surprisingly grasp all about the world in this less time. He knew medicine and he is trying to get a degree in that field. I'm sure he could pass all the exams in one go.

Am i envying him? OF COURSE I AM.

I always tried to compete with him knowing that i'll end up lose. But it's a way to learn new things and he is happy to help me with whatever i want. I got appointed as the President, you know because of personal connections and how they always tell me that i have every right to be in that position and i'm one of the heir to their assets like them. I don't know much to begin with. However Yibo helped me with that and now i could handle myself with my responsibilities.

Still i couldn't ignore the nagging voice in my mind that i changed more than i think and more than what others can see. Ever since i woken up from my coma i felt different, though i never give it a thought before. I can't pinpoint what was the change i'm looking for. But thinking back about my achievements and talents i picked something definitely changed in me. I feel healthy and energetic though I'm still thin.

I was never an artsy guy before. I didn't even know how to hold a flute. Now after a few lessons from my big brother, i could play the flute decently. I am not that much of a bright student yet i could pick up any subject more easily than before. My memory power is also increased.

I'm not athletic. I never was. Yet i could now play basketball and hockey without getting a heart attack by working too much. I don't know how to ride a cycle now i can even ride a bike and at a speed that would scare the past me without losing my balance and with a clear mind. Though my body stayed the same except i became thinner. But i had developed a firm body.

I'm not being narcissistic, whenever i look at the mirror i see a handsome guy looking back at me. Tall and slender with pale skin and cute big eyes.

Oops that sounds narcissistic. But did you get my point?

Now I'm laying on my king sized bed in my new house. No, not a house. It's a mansion. It was bought by my brothers under my name. They said we could live here together.

Can i call it my home? I should wait to see.

While Yibo and his sisters staying in another mansion from a fifteen minutes drive here.

Apparently they're pretending to live like they're not married. They told me that they always picked a role to live in a place for a time. Like my eldest brother was a chef till they decided to take a break from the outside world. It is like a cycle. They have to make others believe or forget about them and then they'll start anew in a new place.

They were always lived like ordinary people blending with the crowd who would not easily noticed. This is the first time some of them came to the spotlight. I don't know why and i didn't ask. Maybe it is what they wanted to do. Maybe it is their way to live their long life without getting bored.

Told you i'm not nosy. Curious? A little. But that's it.

The most terrifying part is that i never once thought that they're vampires when i'm with them. The supernatural myth that everyone told about. They're like normal humans, they feel like normal humans. They never scared me and won't ever.

If vampires do exist that means other supernatural creatures must be living around here too, aren't they? This too was a question i never asked and thought i never needed to know. I don't want to know more about the world and I'm content with the life i have now.

Hey I'm no Bella Swan to curiously go after a vampire hunk or in my case 'a vampire family' and get in serious life threatening situations.

I didn't call David. I didn't even call my friends. I got a new phone today but calling them can wait till tomorrow. I'm too lazy to talk now. Yibo told me that once he visited my parents and he met my friends their when they came to ask about my wellbeing. He also told me David knows that i'm in Korea and recovering. That helped him to calm down a little. But i know for sure that he'll get mad at me for not contacting him after i woke up. After all we are in a relationship.

But do i want this? A relationship with David? Am i gay? I never labeled my sexuality as it is still not clear. However i know that i'm asexual, though i think i'm going to be an aromantic now. I feels like i'm cheating on David by not loving him. I don't love anybody else but i can't love him too. It's like my feelings are dormant. There's no heart flutter, butterflies in the stomach, nothing.

Should i tell him to break up? Can i do that? Would that hurt him? I don't want to hurt him. But i am giving him false hope. Looking back now i don't think i ever felt the love towards him. May be i liked him but not romantically. Yet i allowed myself to think that i loved him when i was only using him to fill the void in my life.

The heartbreak i felt when he left me was because i lost someone i trusted and relied on. Now it all makes sense. However i can't tell that to him. Can i?

Woah i am really a jerk.

May be it's just a phase. It'll pass and i may love him some day. I don't know what to do. But that's a matter for later. Now i gotta sleep so that i can meet my parents, David and my friends tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a looooong day.

Sorry for the late update

I'm going through a serious state of laziness and lack of motivation to write and that's why it's a short chapter.

I forgot whatever i wrote before and had to go back sometimes to understand what should i write next. But that's not the problem, i want to totally change some of the plot i wrote before cause thinking about it now doesn't make sense. I could have approached it a more better way now i think about it. Though i'm not gonna change that and continue with the current flow to see how it'll end. Now you know i don't have a set ending to this story.

Hope you guys will like this and i'll try to workout whatever ideas i can get to continue this story.

Nonetheless i do wanted to write an original one and I'm already started to write down that in my diary. I wanted to try my best to create a better story line by taking my time. I know this story has a lot of flows and lacks a lot. But i won't stop writing this. This is the very first story i started to write and i wanna give it a good ending.

Now thanks for sticking with me all this time  and sorry for this long rambling ☺

Oh and one more thing, the song above may not have anything to do with this chapter but it's a personal favorite. If you look into my profile you can see that i'm an ahgase sooooo😉💚🐥

And last no proofreading again🥴
