Wang Yibo has an obsession with Xiao Zhan, the lead singer of the band 'Twin Prides of Music'. His goal is to exact revenge on Jiang Zhuocheng, the brother of that omega, not love. Perhaps Zhan did nothing, but Yibo was punished by his brother on hi...
Two weeks have passed, filled with confusion and frustration, as Yibo never attempts to reach Zhan and explain things. Zhan is hurt and abandoned, wondering what he did wrong to deserve this treatment. He contemplates reaching out to Yibo, but his pride stops him, convincing him that Yibo will reach out if he truly wants to. Zhan hopes Yibo will contact him soon, but it appears that Yibo has completely forgotten about him while being involved with Ji Li.
Tears brim in his eyes as he thinks about it. Panicking about getting caught, he quickly looks up at the bus' ceiling and lets out shallow breaths to blink the tears away. He does not want anyone to see him in this state. Feeling Fanxing's hand on his shoulder, Zhan jumps slightly before turning to see his concerned expression.
"Are you all right?" Fanxing asks, giving a comforting squeeze on the shoulder.
Zhan masks his inner turmoil with a laugh. "I'm fine. There is nothing." He tries to distract himself by focusing on the passing scenery outside the window, but his thoughts keep drifting back to Yibo and the heartache he feels. "I hope it is true. If there really is nothing, I will never get distracted or worry too much."
He sighs and lets the emptiness creep in because the big concert is only a few hours away, and he knows he needs to focus. The name of the concert brings a small smile to his face, but it quickly fades as he arrives at the arena. The chaos of the lights and technical crew shouting and running around mirrors the chaos in his mind. Their manager is screaming at a stagehand, adding to the tension in the air.
Shaking his head, Zhan grabs Cheng's hand and goes to their dressing room, then makes themselves comfortable before discussing some things. Everyone gets ready and comments on their costumes, taking their own time. Things go smoothly until they hear Yibo's voice echoing down the hallway. "Hey guys, are you ready?"
No one responds because they don't want to, but Ji Li yells enough for Yibo to hear. "Yeah, give us a minute."
Zhan's nose flares slightly as he realizes he has no rights in this situation, but it stings. If he has no mission to focus on, he will leave the arena and wander around to release some of his pent-up anger and frustration. With each passing second, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to contain his emotions. Despite wanting to maintain focus on the concert, he rushes everyone to leave quickly, even if they have time.
They're backstage, waiting for the stagehand to signal, and then Zhan notices his rabbit necklace is missing. He frowns and pats his clothes in the hope of finding them somewhere, but they're not there. "Where did I miss it?" He asks himself and thinks about it. When nothing helps, he excuses himself and runs back all the way to the dressing room in search of his necklace.
"Looking for something?" Yibo leans casually against the doorway with his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah. A little nec-" The words halt in Zhan's throat as he realizes what he's doing. "Do I need to say everything to him? Who are we to each other to share such things, huh?" With a glare, he pushes past Yibo and continues his search for the missing necklace.
