"You scared me! I was so worried, Yibo!" This surprised Yibo when he entered his home. The usually well-rehearsed, well-groomed Zhan looked so disheveled, having raked his hair dozens of times, while waiting for Yibo to comeback.

Worry was a curse, one which Zhan could not shake since Yibo's many instances of leaving his side. The older was so terrified when he woke up and there was no sign of Yibo around. No note, no text, no word! The latter even left his mobile by the bedside! He almost went nuts when even Mrs. Wei and Seungyoun had no idea where he'd went to.

Zhan crushed Yibo in his arms as soon as he'd reached him and Yibo really felt like he intended to squash him into a mush. "I'm so worried. Thank God you're safe!" Zhan murmured on his shoulder and Yibo felt the older shaking terribly, decresending from fright to relief. It drove the younger's overwhelm turn into sympathy. It also made him ponder about Yang Zi's farewell words to him. "You are his happiness, Yibo. You two, be happy... 'together'."

Suddenly these words together with Zhan's intense care and worry gave new found vigour to Yibo's hopeful love.

Doubting and denial were two of the most pointless things he has ever done, the younger had realised. The candour of Zhan's affection and devotion had always been there for Yibo to decipher, yet Yibo had always perceived them as pity and brotherly love.

But at this moment of triumphant discovery seeing Zhan be so miserable, quaking and fearful, without him caused quite a stir in his heart and pushed Yibo's will to let this love be known.

There were no more doubts left in him. Excitement suddenly took shape and Yibo's face showed a cheeky grin.

Zhan's eyebrows lift when he noticed the knowing grin on Yibo's face. But he had not had the time to question the younger's suspicious behaviour as he was dragged across the hallways and pushed right against the wall inside their shared room in a flash.

"Ge!" Yibo was shorter than Zhan by four inches but at that moment he seemed to out-power and out-tower the older. "Do you know what time is it?"

Zhan was confused why he would be asking that at such a time. Still, he glanced at the wall clock and replied, "Half-past nine."

"You do not seem to be in a hurry." Yibo's whimsical smile remained. "We're you not off to see a solicitor at ten?" He was wiggling his eyebrows mischievously and his smile turned wider when Zhan's eyes got rounder wondering how Yibo had come to know that and how he, himself, had forgotten his appointment with the divorce lawyer!

Yibo automatically pointed his chin at Zhan's calendar by the bedside where this appointment note was written. And then he stared at Zhan back again and seriously said, "I met with Yang Zi-jie this morning."

Zhan gawked at him in disbelief. Then fear came. He wanted to ask a particular question, a weighted question, but all he could do was stutter and not form comprehensible words. His phoenix eyes were almost buldging in alarm and Yibo find it comically cute. Zhan looks so guilty with His Secret. "D-Did she tell you something?"

Yibo nodded his head in cue. "We had talked for a while. Some things." He pushed Zhan's strings and Zhan really fell for it. His face flushed from pale to pink to pale again.

And Yibo can't help but pity him in his emotional turmoil. Thus, he planned to help him be relieved.

He cupped Zhan's face and whispered while the amber orbs gazed at the almond ones. "I love you."

Zhan almost lost his balance in there if not for the wall behind him and Yibo's body at the front.

"I love you, Zhan-ge. Not as a friend. Not as a brother." Yibo had said his confession as a matter-of-factly. There's no need to play with words anymore. They have wasted too much time, have they not?

"And I wanted to do this for so long." Yibo's face cast a shadow on Zhan's own. Zhan couldn't breathe and immediately froze. But inside, his body, mind, soul and heart were clammouring, cheering, making his head light.

So instantaneous, there goes Yibo's sweet lips on his', warming the cold skin with a fiery desire. Zhan melted helplessly in the trance of that touch. His eyes shut close and his hands moved automatically to pull Yibo's body closer.

His heart beat faster and faster, like a galloping horse wanting to win its race. However before he could reach his finish line, Yibo parted themselves and everything: both Zhan's reality and dream hurtled to the ground.

The younger barely shrugged, hiding the crimson blush of his eartips, and sheepishly said, "You'll be late, Ge. Let's talk later."

Yibo strode out the room with the upper hand and Zhan just let himself slid down the wall, his legs turning jelly.

The confession came like a whirlwind and the culprit was gone so fast! Zhan had totally lost with the younger's aggression, but it was the greatest feeling ever!

Yibo loves him! Zhan cried and laughed.

Yibo loves him! Zhan cried and laughed
