✅When Stars Align (Yizhan oneshot)

🌠when stars align

Your name is engraved in my heart-
In such a way,
You are destined to be the body,
For the story of my life

Because I can't breath-
When you are not around,
You are destined to be my fate,
Since our eyes met for the first time

We were never going to meet-
this distance is like a wind,
going to blow away soon,
Red thread of fate still connects us

I groaned in annoyance when my phone rang loudly, waking me up from my deep slumber. I ignored the call and it stopped ringing after few seconds. I turned around to take a glance at the table clock and cursed when saw it's still quite early to wake up. It was 7 am and I didn't have any schedule for the morning as I was working hard on my new drama series for the past three months, which finally ended just last week, and after all the promotions and fan meets, now I have got some nice rest. I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. Rather than tiredness, random thoughts clouded my head and I decided to wake up before I start overthinking. I hate to think, to recall, I swear. Cursing silently, I sat up and rubbed my sleepy eyes as well as aching head. I don't know why my head was throbbing and I was feeling slight dizzy, I groaned in pain and decided to wash my face with cold water. Woah what a good start of the day!

Stretching my hands, I stepped down of the bed only to get stumble on something. I looked down and gasped when saw many emptied liquor bottles lying here and there. I chuckled when I realised the reason of my headache and dizziness, ofcourse it's fucking hangover. I recalled how I come back every night to get intoxicated in order to stop myself dwelling into the past, to seize my feelings, my desperation and to soothe my miserable self. I chuckled and started to collect the empty bottles to dispose them. What happened to me! I was used to be a clean and health freak and now I don't even realise when the day ends, when I skip my breakfasts or dinners, or if I have taken enough sleep or not.

I sat at the edge of the bed and grabbed my laptop. I opened the folder named 'Endless summer'. The folder opened in micro seconds displaying several pictures before my eyes. The two men in the pictures, one in white robe and the other one in black, seemed really happy and in love. I smiled and caressed the screen for I didn't embrace him, it's been a year already. My hands were itching to touch him, to run my fingers through his silky hairs once again, to tease him and annoy him by following him all around like a lost puppy. I don't remember smiling like an idiot for anybody, to stare at someone without even blinking for no one has ever fluttered my heart that way ever again.

I went through that precious treasure of invaluable memories for some more time before checking my phone. I rolled my eyes when saw my manager's phone calls as well as texts. Even before i could have called back, the phone rang again, and my manager's name flashed on the screen. I sighed and picked up the call and waited the other to speak. I wasn't in the mood to answer.

"Wang yibo! You finally answered my call! You know right, today's 31st of December and you have to perform in a concert and countdown for the new year!"

I sighed again and hummed as a response. As I said I wasn't in the mood to talk.

"Yibo, umm, how should I put it, that- uhh- xiao zhan is attending too."

My headache vanished in seconds and I got a skin erection when I heard his name. I wasn't expecting it at all, honestly. I covered my mouth with my palm to hide my laboured breaths from the person on the call, as I hate sympathy and pity. I don't want to hear any comforting sentences, as they won't work anyway, it's no more than a time waste for me. As I was lost in my thoughts, my manager continued making me come back to my senses.
