Love like Pandora's box

Chapter 10.

Yibo looked at Yuki and said, "Why are you asking that now?"

Yuki said, "I want to pay it back."

"There is no need." Yibo said, "I never asked you to pay it back."

"But I want to; from where did you get it? Yibo... did you... did you steal?"

Yibo got up from the sofa and took a deep breath as he looked at Yuki with annoyance, "As I said Yuki, it does not matter! What matters is that I was able to save you from those loan sharks who would have sold you."

Yuki got up as well and said, "But I still wish to know." She was interrupted when she started to cough, but she managed to calm down and ask again, "I want to know that just from where did you get that much amount of money in one day? To save me! Just tell me, Yibo!"

Yibo clenched his fists and said, "It doesn't matter; as you said, my fees and everything else have been paid, and we have no debts. Why don't you try to quit your lifestyle? I have got a part-time job, you can stop being a prostitute, get therapy, and get a better life! Stop thinking about the past!"

"You got a job! But you are just going to graduate in a few months; you should focus on your studies! Why would you distract yourself with jobs? I have been earning, right?"

"I know you are earning, but I want you to fucking quit! It's enough, Yuki! You don't have to sell yourself anymore!"

"What do you know? I am too deep into this sh*t, and there is nothing else that I can do! There is no new life for me anymore!"

Yibo clenched his fist and just lashed out, "Those are just excuses! I don't want to talk to you anymore." He said this as he walked away from there and went to his room, feeling defeated and disappointed.

"Well, hello there." Dean said as he snaked an arm around Yibo's waist, and Yibo didn't waste a second to push him away, "Just what the fuck do you want? Get lost, Dean."

Dean smirked as he said, "I have already told you that just what the fuck do I want? All you have to do is agree with me."

Yibo made a disgusted face as he said, "Fuck off."

These past few days, Dean's harassment has also increased, and he was really getting on Yibo's nerves. All he wanted to do was beat the crap out of him, but he was scared that if he did so, then it would be him who would be blamed, and Dean would just walk away. No one would say anything to him, and he might get rusticated.

He has to endure it for a few more months and then he would be free from this torture.

Dean suddenly grabbed his hand and shoved him into an empty corridor, "I have noticed in these past few days that whenever Zhan does something to you, you never have any problem, you just silently endure, sometimes it seems that you don't even hate what he does.

Then why are so feisty with me huh? Is it because you like Zhan? Or perhaps you have a fetish? Fetish of getting beaten, trust me I can do that better just give me a chance why don't you."

Yibo pushed him away but Dean wasn't willing to let him go," let go or do you want to get punched!"

Dean laughed and said, "Punch me; that is if you can."

Yibo clenched his fists and Dean said, "You know, I might just stop bothering you if you give me a kiss."

Yibo glared at him and said, "Just one kiss and I promise I won't bother you again till graduation; you have my word. And it's just one kiss."

Dean was being so creepy and vulgar that Yibo wanted to vomit when Dean said, "Or do you need Zhan's permission? If you do, then don't bother; he won't mind anyway."

Dean said as he leaned in closer towards Yibo, way too close, but before he could do anything, another voice was heard: "What the hell is going on here?"

Yibo and Dean both looked at Zhan, who seemed like he was really angry.

Dean smiled and moved back, "Nothing, it's just me and him having a small friendly talk nothing else."

Zhan raised an eyebrow, "is that so? I had no idea that you guys were so close to having, 'small friendly' chats."

Dean suddenly wrapped his arms around Yibo and brought him closer as he said, "Oh we are close, we are very close recently."

Yibo could see anger radiating off Zhan and he slowly pushed Dean away and walked out of there as he felt suffocated.

He felt anxious as he knew that Zhan was angry, he really was and God knows what he would do next.

Yibo felt trapped if only he could run away.

And he was right, that Zhan was indeed angry as he shoved Yibo into an empty classroom and said, "you really trying to become a whore or what? And out of all people, Dean?"

"He was the one who tried to make a move on me! I did nothing."

Zhan laughed, "You? And Dean? While I agree that Dean is not as good as me and nowhere near me, he is still at a level that you will never reach! What are you doing in front of him? Why would he go after you? Seriously, stop being delusional. Dean has already told us how you look at him and how you give him gestures, and honestly, I feel so disgusted.

Do you also want the label of a whore along with a thief?"

Yibo looked away, hurt flashing across his face. "There is no point in talking to you, is there?"

Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "Stay away from Dean; this is my last warning to you."
