The Veracity

13. Shopping

Today Zhan and Yibo were going for shopping.

It was Zhan's first day out after getting discahrged from hospital and after losing his memory so everything is sorta new for him.

"I think I need to learn driving again."

"Of course you have to."

"Zhan sighed and leaned back on the chair, 'When can I use my hand freely?"

"The doctors had said that you have to come for check up later and then he will remove your bandages...but..."

"But?"

Yibo sighed, "Your hand will become weak."

"I think it already has become weak." Zhan said while moving his hand here and there, "But still usable I guess."

Yibo stole a glance at him before focusing ion the drive again.

"Hey is that a graveyard?" Zhan asked as he was looking outside the window.

"Yes it is now stop looking in that direction."

Zhan didn't question Yibo, he may have lost his memory but he still knew very well that graveyards are not really safe for people like him. 

They reached their destination soon, it was a huge mall with lot's of people going in and out.

"Wow...I suddenly feel like an alone species after seeing so many humans in one day."

Yibo smiled slightly, "Do you want to get down while I park the car."

"Yeah." Zhan said and got down from the car while Yibo went to park it.

Meanwhile Zhan enjoyed the sunlight for a while before going under that shade, it was a lively cheerful day, people were coming to the mall with families and friends and they looked happy.

While he was standing and enjoying the view a little girl came towards him as he climbed the stairs, the little girl wore a frock and had beautiful curly hairs but had a poker face.

The girl's face was blank, Zhan stared at the girl and when the girl was about to walk past him, she noticed Zhan's glance at her and turned to him.

Zhan just sweetly smiled at her before noticing that Yibo was coming towards her, so Zhan gave the girl once last glance before walking towards Yibo.

"Let's go to the clothing section first." Yibo said.

"whatever you say goes" Zhan said but soon thought that it was a bad idea, Yibo's choice of clothes was not really great.

Other than black and white Yibo turned blind to every other color design all the t-shirts he chose were plain without any design.

Zhan also noticed that Yibo didn't even bother to read the price of the clothes he would just take them and throw them in the basket.

"What happened you don't like the clothes..." Yibo asked.

"How can I not they are perfect."

Yibo looked at Zhan and then at the clothes and then again at Zhan, "You don't have to lie these are not your style right?"

Zhan sighed, "I don't remember my style."

Yibo then looked at the clothes again, "Then let's..."

"They are okay Yibo, did I say anything that I don't like them or anything? in fact people will think that we boyfriends have the same dressing styles that would be great."

Yibo sighed, Zhan pushded the cart forward, "Let's buy some footwears okay?"

After they were done with footwears , he and Zhan also went to buy a phone for Zhan.

After they were done with their shopping, yibo went to the billing counter while Zhan was sitting on a bench.

While he was sitting Zhan saw the little girl from earlier peeking at him, Zhan only smiled at her the girl smiled back at him and came towars him, once she stood in front of him she gave him a little box. 

It was beautiful white colured box with a white ribbon on it.

"What's this?"

Zhan said while looking at the box, something about it was very fascinating, something so intriguing that Zhan couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Zhan." He was bought out of his trance once Yibo's voice invaded his ears.

Zhan immediately, subconciously put the box in his pants and smiled at Yibo.

"Let's go and eat something." Yibo said, and Zhan followed him.

Once they were done with the shopping, Yibo went to take the car while Zhan waited near the gates, still thinking about the box.

Once the two of them were in the car Yibo asked him, "Zhan what are you thinking you seem lost today."

"Um...Today I met a girl and she gave me a box."

Something wasn't right.

"Show me the box." Yibo said, Zhan took out the box from his pocket but as soon as he saw the box horror covered his face. The box was completely black , it was covered with some root like things.\, the ribbon had turned bloody red.

Yibo's face changed as well, "Holy shit."
