The Veracity

48. Memories

The next morning Kexing woke up with a massive headache.

Considering the amount of strong alcohol he drank this was bound to happen.

Kexing looked around the room, but couldn't find Zhan, he was lying on the bed and in the room where Zhan was supposed to rest.

"I am really a jerk, letting a sick person take care of." He mumbled, he got down from the bed and went out of the room to look for Zhan, he hoped that Zhan hadn't left, he wanted to apologize to him for making Zhan worry.

Moreover, he was also embarrassed to face him.

Fortunately, he found Zhan, in the dining room, "Oh you are up" 

Zhan said once he saw Kexing, "Good morning."

"Good morning" Kexing mumbled," um...yesterday..."Zhan became stiff for a second, "I am sorry I must have troubled you."

Zhan kept the plates on the table, before looking at Kexing, "This drinking habit of yours...can be troublesome."

"I know but...drinking...I just can't stop"

Zhan nodded, "Well, Kexing you told me something last night do you remember?"

Kexing's eyes widened. "Wait a minute did I say something embarrassing at night?"

Zhan smiled, "Go and get fresh I have prepared some soup for you...and yeah you said nothing embarrassing."

"But..."

"Hurry up and go..I also have to leave for my work..so we don't have much time."

Once Kexing was out of Zhan's sight, the latter sighed, he wished that Kexing would somehow find out himself that Zhan is his brother.

Because as expected for Zhan it was really tough to tell Kexing about anything himself, Zhan was ready to face all kinds of curses and harsh words from Kexing but before that he needed a little bit more time to prepare himself.

Kexing on the other hand was racking his brain to remember what he had said last night, as he stood under the shower.

All he remembers is Zhan's story that how he ended up in front of his house, honestly thinking about Zhan's story made Kexing feel really bad for him, but Zhan is too nice for his own good.

Kexing sighed, after listening to Zhan's story Zhan requested Kexing to tell him something about himself and that's why Kexing drank and told Zhan everything...and Zhan...

Kexing suddenly froze at his place, the memories came rushing back to him.

"Where are you going? didn't you say that you would listen to me? or are you bored as well, perhaps leave me like my brother."

"I am not going to leave you Kexing, I promise I won't abandon you."

"But I will keep it I promise Kexing."

"You did a very good thing by not selling this house, you are right if one day brother would want to return then this place would be the first place he would think of."

"Yes, he will come and he will remember you he will accept you and he will never abandon you again."

"Zhan."

"Hmm."

"You are really like my elder brother, when I see you I really miss him"

" Yes I know, and your brother also knows that you are waiting for him, he now knows that you miss him and he also knows that you love him, he also knows that you have suffered."

"Then why he is not coming to see me?"

"I am sorry, I am really sorry Kexing please I am sorry." Zhan cried helplessly, "You should hate your brother blame him all you want and when you meet him punch him kick all you want."

"I won't do that..."Kexing said drowsily.

"Then what will you do when you meet him?"

"I will...be...happy...and hug him...tightly..."

Zhan smiled, "Right, he will hug you as well and go on his knees and say sorry to you."

"How...do...you...know that?"

"Because your brother all these things himself."

As if he was hit by a truck, Kexing suddenly leaned against the wall, after remembering the last night's events.

Zhan said all those words and apologized to him and...Is Zhan his...

No.

It can't be. It's not possible.

Author's note: Oh boy, so now even Kexing knows that Zhan is his brother who is ready for the upcoming storm between brothers.
