The servers in the Wang residence were cowering as they picked up the pieces of a big broken vase that Judge Wang pushed out of his anger towards his son. It is in the mid of the party when the senior Wang called Yibo to his private office to discuss something.
"Dad, this is not fair! You promised that as long as I take the course you wanted for me and make sure that I passed, I can do the rest of my life based on what I want. Why are you doing this now?" Yibo raised his voice as he asked his father.
"Don't be an idiot, Yibo! I told you to follow the path I deemed good for you and you are free to do whatever. This, this is part of the future that I wanted you to have!" Judge Wang said with authority.
"No! Forget it, I will never do what you're asking me to do. I won't let you control everything in my life like what you did to my sister. I have seen her suffer and I will never let that happen to me" Yibo retaliated.
"Stop it, you two! We have guests downstairs, where is your shame? Yibo, go for now and let your father calm down. This talk will lead to nothing but a bigger fight. Go, son, message me when you get home" his mother came in between to break the argument. Yibo gave her a pleading look before leaving without saying anything.
==========
The house is dark when Yibo came home. It took all his will to not drive his motorcycle off a cliff just to end everything. If not for the messages from Bible and Jeff that he happened to check before he rode off from his parents' house.
📩 Jiji: Happy Birthday, Yiyi! I hope you are at least eating good food at your party, but please don't drink and drive, okay? Promise me! I will wake up early tomorrow and give you a birthday kiss even if you are still sleeping. Sorry, I won't be able to eat breakfast with you because of early rehearsal but I will not leave without greeting you in person again! Take care going home, yeah? See you!"
📩 Bibi: Hey dickhead, make sure you get your butt home safe and sound so I can make you a good breakfast. Happy Birthday! You are one of the good things that happened to me so I will take care of you as long as you allow me to. Don't drink and make Jiji worry or I'll whack your head. Drive safe.
His heart was full after reading the messages. It sucks that his father tried to ruin his birthday...again. This time, though, he won't let that man wins.
Yibo carefully locked the front door and went inside his room. He turned on just his bedside lamp and was about to get in the shower room when he noticed a gift box on top of his study table. He immediately took it to his bed and opened it.
To: Yiyi,
It was a wonder how we met, unexpected but crazily wonderful. We could never ask for any other way, the universe has a subtle way of finding moments to smile about and it is you for us.
Happy Birthday! Hope you like this.
Bibi and Jiji
Inside the box is a glass-like display case and on each divider is a miniature Lego Car, different models and sizes, around 20 of them. His childlike heart felt really happy that he can't stop himself from smiling and also crying. He wanted to run to them but he knows they are already sleeping and they have an early schedule later. After all, it is almost one in the morning.
Yibo took the box and carried it with care to put on his collection rack when the door slowly opened...
🎶 "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday...Happy Birthday our dear Yiyi..." soft singing voices of both Bible and Jeff filled Yibo's room.
"Hey, you...Happy Birth--" Jiji stopped his greeting when he noticed Yibo's teary eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Bible immediately comes to Yibo's side inspecting him for any wounds.
"I'm okay, Bibi, stop it. I'm okay" Yibo stopped Bible by taking the latter's hands and kissing the palms "I'm okay now because I'm home with you two"
Jeff put the cake down and approached them. He touched Yibo's face and kissed him on his cheeks.
"Why are you crying, Yiyi?" He asked softly
"Nothing to worry about" Yibo replied
"Jiji will definitely worry more with that kind of answer, you know," Bible said
Yibo went to the table where Jeff put the cake down and blew the candle. He closed his eyes and whispered his wishes.
"Thank you for this and the gift, I love them," He said as he picked the cake that has a motorcycle design.
They all shared a big hug after and decided to sleep in Yibo's room. There is no way that they will leave him and be alone tonight on this special day.
Yibo pulled the blanket over Bible who is now sleeping soundly and gave him a goodnight kiss. As he was about to do the same to Jeff, he was surprised to see the other fondly staring at him.
"Why are you not sleeping yet? You have an early rehearsal later" Yibo asked
"I can be late since I'm done rehearsing my part today. I'm just needed there to guide the other actors" Jeff positioned himself so he can snake his arm around Yibo's waist.
"Thank you, Jiji. You don't know how happy you and Bibi made this day for me" Yibo
"Yiyi...we would make your every day happy as much as we could because you do the same for us." Jeff replied as he buried his face on Yibo's neck "Bibi prepared all the food he will cook later for your birthday dinner. I told him to slow down but he won't have any of it and told me that it has to be perfect, special, because that is what you are for us"
Jeff felt a drop of something wet on his cheek and saw that Yibo is crying. He wiped them off and kissed them away.
"I hope those are tears of joy, Yiyi. If you are crying because someone hurt you, I won't let it pass, even if it's your dad" Jeff said with indignation.
Yibo chuckled at what Jeff said, "Wow, are you gonna fight him for me?"
"No, but Bibi will. He ain't scared of no one you know" Jeff replied.
They both smiled at each other and shared a quick kiss.
"Go to sleep, Yiyi. I'll sing you a song, okay? Jeff said
"Mn."
And Jeff started to sing softly...
