The Sacrifices We Made

Xiao Zhan wanted to see Wang Yibo but it seemed the circumstances weren't allowing him to do so. That's why he spent his day checking up on what he had missed even though Wen Qing had everything in control. What he noticed was that Sizhui was clinging to him more than normal as if he was afraid something was going to happen to him again so he had to postpone that.

"Don't you have a task to do," Xiao Zhan asked Sizhui who in turn shook his head denying and claiming that today was his free day. Xiao Zhan only chuckled and went on his way, finding small tasks to give Sizhui. Even though he talked to Xingchen he still felt the latter was as distant to him as before. He had noticed that behavior after the first month they spent in Kiribati but every time he brought it up the latter always find a way to ignore him.

Later that day Wang Yibo rushes into his office immediately asking if he was okay.

"I am fine why are you so worked up," Xiao Zhan asked

" Y-you you woke up" Wang Yibo stood a little bit far away from Xiao Zhan.

" Yeah I am awake and fine" Xiao Zhan pointed at himself not willing to pay another look at Wang Yibo going back to his paperwork.

" O-okay that's g-good t-that's nice to know" Wang Yibo gripped the door handle "I'll be going okay" he pointed backwards.

" Yeah y-you o-okay" Xiao Zhan was flustered so he looked down to avoid his ex-husbands gaze on him.

" Omg that hurt both my eyes and ears what the fuck was that" Wooseok started to mimic how Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan sounded like from his perspective "that wasn't really Casanova of you" Wooseok pointed at the said Casanova.

" We agreed to leave my dark history in the past" Xiao Zhan sighed

" I really can't believe that Yibo is the only one who can make your Casanova tongue be heavy and start to stammer all over the place" Wooseok chuckled remembering back on the days when Xiao Zhan would flirt his way or their way out of trouble or into trouble. "And now he's your ex-husband tables sure change overnight" Wooseok sighed.

"Yeah things do change overnight" Xiao Zhan voice was a little bit sullen

"Zhan you know I don't mean it as that right" Wooseok sat in front of Xiao Zhan

"No it's okay I am sure you didn't mean it like that but I am saying the truth though things do change overnight" Xiao Zhan looked up and smiled at Wooseok

Wooseok sighed it felt like Xiao Zhan whole viewpoint of the world changed the day he got divorced and Wooseok couldn't do anything about it.

"Dude you should talk to Yibo you two have been going on with this fight for 2 weeks and it's not funny my dude I feel like I am walking around eggshells between you two" Yixuan spoke to Seungyoun "And you know me I don't like this at all" It was nearly 3 weeks and the duo had not reconciled yet between Yibo being busy and barely being around in the base and also Seungyoun avoiding Yibo at all choices there is no way the two would meet and reconcile.
