Nine's Soulmate

Yuheng's Apartment

"Yuheng really cool. He's still young and now he can buy apartment for himself." Nine said, they are now walking to elevator. Mika listened, then stroked Nine's hair while waiting for elevator open.

"You just wear this?" Mika looked at Nine's clothes. Nine just wears long pants and a white short-sleeved shirt.

"That's okay..." Nine looked at his clothes.

"It's gnna be so freez tonight." Said Mika in elevator. He embraced Nine to get closer.

"Yuheng, we're in elevator now. Get ready!" Mika called Yuheng.

"Get ready for what hahaha! Hey, I've unlocked the door, so you just come in. I'm still have online meeting with director."

"Okay." Mika closes.

"What he says?" Nine asked Mika.

"He's still online meeting, so he told us to come in." Elevator opened on 9th floor.

"I can't wait to meet Yuheng!" Nine go first with run.

"Don't run..." Mika said when seeing Nine running with a plastic bag filled with snacks, while Mika walked over to watch his boyfriend holding a bottle of wine.

"49?!" Nine now standing front of Yuheng's apartment door waiting for Mika.

Yuheng's POV

"Thank you all! See you next week." I'm finished zoom with film crew and turned off my laptop. Mika and Xiao Jiu had already arrived. I saw Mika's head pop up to say hello to me twenty minutes ago when I was still in meeting.

Finally! I'm very happy for my best friend Mika!

"Hello!" I come out from room. I saw Xiao Jiu and Mika in balcony looking at scenery. Xiao Jiu immediately saw me, he gives me big smiled as he walked towards me. It's been a long time since I last saw Xiao Jiu's smile.

"Yuheng!" I knew he going to hug me, so I stretched my arms ready for his hug. But....

"What. What you doing?" Mika pulled Xiao Jiu's hand. Mika's eyes looked at me with a smile.

"Let me go. I want hug Yuheng." Xiao Jiu release Mika's hand and ran towards me, but again Mika stopped him. Mika hugged Xiao Jiu's waist so Xiao Jiu couldn't hug me.

"C'mon Mika, I really miss my Xiao Jiu!" I smiled looking at Mika.

"No. No hug anymore from now Yuheng." Mika is so cute, he doesn't want let go Xiao Jiu and then look at me suspiciously. I can't hahaha.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Jiu feel sorry to me, then tried to let go of Mika's hug.

"Baby, don't hug Yuheng okay?" Mika's words startled Xiao Jiu and immediately looked at me.

"Don't worry Xiao Jiu, I already know." I told Xiao Jiu for not feel bad to me.

"What?" Xiao Jiu still confused, I don't think Mika told him anything about me.

"He knows everything." Mika standing smiling at his boyfriend. Mika in this version is completely new for me. He's like a 13 years old boy who just fell in love.

"What is this? You bring wine?" I saw dining table, there was a bottle of white wine in a bag filled with ice cubes.

"Yeah. I bought it on my way here. I put to your fridge?" Mika took wine bag and put it in fridge.

"But I don't have cheese. Just pasta and fries." Yeah, I don't have many food in my apartement.

"Perfect!" Mika said. Meanwhile Xiao Jiu was still standing with confused. Then I saw my cat came out of my room and approached him.

"Oh my god. Hello..." Xiao Jiu saw my cat on his feet, then take my cat.

"Yuheng... Who is this cutie?" My cat seems really like Xiao Jiu, enjoys with Xiao Jiu's kisses and hug.

"That's my cat, I brought him from home."

"Very cute! This is cat in your phone right?" Xiao Jiu hugged my cat.

"Yeah. You remember that?"

"Yeah, in Chuang you like to talking about your cat." Xiao Jiu said.

"Mika. Seriously? I can't hug Xiao Jiu? We haven't seen each other for two months!" I teased Mika. But really, I want hug Xiao Jiu as usual when we are in Chuang.

"No!" I heard Mika's voice from kitchen. He's so annoying.

"Argh... He's so adorable!" Xiao Jiu continues to play with my cat.

"Yuheng... I need hands to prepare dinner." Mika called me.

"Okay." I answered, and walked to kitchen.

Why I feel Mika act like owner of my apartment?

"I want help make dinner too." Xiao Jiu came to kitchen, saw me and Mika preparing french fries.

"Baby, just stay there. Play with the cat." Said Mika. Xiao Jiu immediately obey and go to TV room.

"Finally huh?!" I started talking with my best friend. I saw him, he just kept smiling widely without answering me. I'm so happy to see him happy like that.

If must looking back, I remember Mika always feels restless and not confident to showing his feelings to Xiao Jiu when we at Chuang. But see he now! Mika has Xiao Jiu as his boyfriend!

"You remember when you called me in middle of night and you said you can't sleep because you too happy after officially dating with Xiao Jiu? I'm really happy when I hear that you know!" I said while washing fresh mustard greens. I'll cook good food for them.

"That's why I brought him here now. I also want to thank you... if you not forced me to do something, maybe now I still like him from afar." I smiled at him. Actually I only helped him a little, again, it all depends on Mika.

"How you feeling now? Have Xiao Jiu as your bf?" I can't stop smiling. Yes, I'm very curious.

"It's hard to explain. You know, now I'm always thinking about him every day. Thinking about him more and more than before. And..."

"And what...?"

"You know... He's really... cute." Mika saw me.

"Before I sleep, I always thinking about him... I can't help, but I'm always do that..."

I think I know what he means. I mean, I'm a man too. There are several things that adult man needs. Mika looked back at me, he seemed doubtful to continue his word.

"Mika get chicken in freezer!" I try to changed our conversation. But I think Mika still wants to talk about it.

"Every time I smell his hair, see his face, or when he sends me his picture... I... I really want to hug him." Here we go. I put mustard greens that I washed.

"So, we want to talk about this?" I asked.

"Isn't that normal?"

"Sure. Of course that's totally normal. But..." I didn't want to patronize or advise him at all.

"You have two choices now." I checked Xiao Jiu, he still playing with my cat in living room. I don't want him to hear our conversation.

"You protect him. Or someone else protects him from you." Mika looked at me when I said that.

"Everything has its own time." I hope my words can help Mika. Mika nodded.

"Now quickly get the chicken!"
