A/N: So I have to explain something. Currently, Zhan and Yibo are actually not in love yet, not consciously. There is just a strong attraction and sexual interest between the two. The brief flash of jealousy in Yibo in that Irish pub was just a brief twinge in his heart. Therefore, there is still this much around, and sometimes only small sections concerning the two, to witness how slowly more develops between the two. But we're only at chapter 11 now, so be patient 😃they'll discover their feelings for each other.

After a long evening with Youn in front of the TV, with lots of ice cream and sweets and the first season of Friends, Yibo had started to feel much better. He felt like now he could finally move forward and not have to worry about doing anything wrong and upsetting Emily. He's Free!

On Monday morning, Yibo had also started packing all of Emily's things that she had left with him or forgotten at some point into a box and placed it in front of her apartment door. He also packed all the small gifts from her and took them downstairs to the basement. After that, he felt like he could breathe more freely in his room right away.

In the afternoon, he received a call from Zhan, who unfortunately had to cancel on him, because Zhan had to leave for an important business trip at short notice. But he still transferred Yibo the money for the evening, as compensation, because he had no other escort appointments for the evening and so he would not incur any financial losses. Yibo refused this before, but then he was grateful for it. After all, he would have actually had financial losses and he also simply needs the money.

And since Zhan, as usual, transferred much more money to him than Yibo had demanded, Yibo had canceled all his other appointments for this week and explained this with a private emergency. And his customers then even showed surprising understanding.

Next, Yibo used half of his saved money and booked himself a room in a country hotel for a week. He just wanted to get out of the city and away from everything. Especially from Emily, whom he would probably run into every day and then have to see her eyes red and puffy from crying.

Yibo told Youn about his plan to relax in a hotel in the countryside, which he thought was a good idea, and then packed his bags and went on his way. He stopped only once to get cash from his account and to buy two new shirts and a pair of jeans at the fashion store next to the bank.

Once he arrived at the country hotel, he was immediately taken with his quiet room overlooking nothing but nature. He would definitely find peace and relaxation here. Just what he needed now after the exhausting last months and his separation from Emily.

Besides hours of walks in nature and wild bike rides through a wooded area, he especially enjoyed the wonderful view of the night sky from his balcony in the evenings. He had never seen so many stars as he did there. It even inspired him to think up a choreography to a ballad. He danced almost every evening on his balcony under the night sky to this ballad and forgot everything around him.

He also made friends with a few other hotel guests there. One of them was 23 year old Sina, who was just visiting from France. They immediately understood each other very well and even shared an interest in dancing. That's why they went to a village disco one night and partied together. They really got along very well.

On the way back from the disco to the hotel, the two stopped for a moment to rest. They were laughing and talking about one of the guests in the disco who was singing along so loudly to all the songs being played that the DJ had to ask him to be a little quieter.

And while they were still laughing, Sina stepped up to him and suddenly gave Yibo a little kiss on the mouth. Completely perplexed, Yibo took a step back and stumbled. He landed on his butt in the tall grass. When Sina presumably assumed Yibo had intentionally sat down and wanted them to get closer, she sat down on Yibo's lap and immediately wanted to kiss him again.
