The weather couldn't be kinder in that cold night.

Just as Yibo stepped out of the hotel lobby, the pouring rain greeted him.

He looked up the sky. 

Yibo couldn't guess if the sky is crying for him in pity or this torrential rain is just passing by.

He absentmindedly lifted his right hand and let his palm gather some rain drops.

From his back, one could only see a lithe man standing under the rain. His weak looking body and his thin clothes starting to soak. Not long, one could see that his shoulders begin to quiver. It might be the cold weather, it might be the pouring rain, or it might be because...

he was crying his heart out.

Zhan had never carefully looked at Lan Yibo. But when Yibo lifted his head up earlier, his amber eyes mesmerised Zhan. The pool of light honey with the corners of his eyes slightly red, seemed to pinch Zhan's heart.

But when Yibo didn't deny nor confirm Zhan's forward allegations, instead asked if he can go home, Zhan felt somewhat astray. 'Which home?' A part of Zhan does not want to part with this omega.

Foolishly, Can't they go back? To when he was eight and Yibo was in his arms? Or just about when Yibo slid that sketch under his doorframe? Should he had given him a chance to meet him...time to know him? Would they still end up this way?

As Yibo walked away and left, Zhan can't reason out why his legs kept chasing him. His scent drives him. But was it all?

Did he not hate omegas because they will be the weakness The-Great-Wei Zhan never wanted to have?

Zhan stared at Yibo from a distance. Watching the tenuous movements of his delicate body. The first drop of rain that touched Yibo's face made Zhan a bit bitter. The next few that touched his body coloured Zhan green. And when those shoulders started to quaver, Zhan was a lost man.

He was behind him in a flash, his coat off his shoulders and purposely put over Yibo's frame.

Zhan was uncomfortably edgy when those amber orbs gazed up to him in honest surprise.

"I'll get the car. Wait here."

He dashed off in brisk long strides reaching the parking lot before a full minute has gone by. He was knackered, resting his forearm against the cool metal of his car as he clutched his chest, fighting for breath with fast beating heart.

What was happening?
