I Told You Back Then

How could I forgot what I wish for?.

🎵 When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me 🎵

Gong Jun sang, following the tone and the song he heard from the man. He only keeps singing the lyrics on and on until someone stood at his back.

Startled, he immediately turn and look.

The man and Gong Jun stood before each other, their eyes locked in gaze.

"You heard of the song?" Zhou Zi Shu inquired.

At that moment, the air filled with the aroma of blooming flowers, their petals spreading like s feather. The moon cast its radiant glow. The warmth of the gentle breeze is present on the scene too.

The moment lingered, suspended in time, Gong Jun didn't answer the question as he says. "W-what's your name?" Given another one unconsciously to that almost make him wanted to punch himself for being rude.

Gong Jun look at the guy and look away immediately again, "No,-No don't don't it's ok, don't answer it."

"I'm Zhou Zi Shu." The man answered as he smiles.

At that, Gong Jun face flushed, he don't know what could've happen but the man's simple smile can make him fall this much, make everything faded in the background then he don't know if back from where his from he still can remove the man from his memory or to even choose to remove him.

"You, tell me? Who are you." The man asked.

Gong Jun is about to answer the question when suddenly his head hurts once again, something inside him is wanting to come out wanting to possess him.

"I-im, my name is..." He said.

"M-master!" A young girl shouted.

"M-master are you ok? You! What did you do to him!" The girl exclaimed ready to fight the man.

"I didn't do anything," said the man trying to carry Gong Jun up.

"He just wants to answer me about who he is. . ."

"If it's only that he wouldn't need to faint?!" Said the girl in defense nit trusting the man.

"Then ask him after he wakes up." the man said already carrying Gong Jun by his arms.

"Next time, if you needed to ask something ask me first, if he was going to faint by everytime you met, then atleast I know," she said.

Zhou Zi Shu nodded and was about to leave when the girl spoke again.

"My master name ...my masters name is wen ke xing." She added.

At that, the man took a sudden turn facing the girl once again. The shock are written all over her face.

"Wen. Ke. Xing?" He asked looking at the guy in his arms, that's right. Wen ke xing. He said a drop of tears fall down from his eyes. As he walk slowly towards the room laying him safely to the bed.

The man smiled as he look at Gong Jun's direction,

"Of course, how could I forgot?, How could I forgot what I wish for?."

He said staring at Gong Jun sincerely.

*

At that night, when you died I had wished for it. For us. I want us to be together again, I can't let it end when we were only started. I have millions of life ahead of me. But life with it is not really a life without you.

I had already said it.

You heard me too aren't you?

I had said that I rather live in ten days as me than ten years being the person I'm not.

You heard me clearly, so what do you think is the difference of what you've done?.

If I can't live without you what's the point of being immortal.

I'm sorry, to dragged you into this, this place is a repeat history, and when I do that I also repeated our lives.

That's why I forgot, I'm sorry I forgot it.

If you only remember, I could easily tell you everything. Tell you everything and say the one only word I missed to say,

One word, that only needs one day, Wen ke xing? Wake up and remember me.

In that only I can say this words that I wished for you to hear from me.

Zhou Zi Shu seated beside Gong Jun, he reached it's face and start to sang the song he sang before.

Every tone is carried with gentles and soft melody like a pop love song turns into a lullaby, Zhou Zi Shu's voice resonated like a symphony of memories, evoking a wave of nostalgia within Gong Jun's mind.

Upon sleeping memories flooded his mind, replaying the memory of once that already happened hundreds of years ago.

The sound were carrying him back to a time long forgotten. A past that far long gone. It's repeating all of it. Until it stop.

Some pieces of the past was revealed already in his memory, Hence, the answers he sought remained elusive, hidden within the depths of his consciousness.

Though hesitant and overwhelmed by a sense of emptiness, Gong Jun followed the call of his heart and called out Zhou Zi Shu's name.

Gong Jun gently took hold of Zhou Zi Shu's hand once again as he speak "Can you sing the song again?" he asked, his plea filled with a deep longing.

"The same song?" Zhou Zi Shu clarified.

Gong Jun nodded, He looks at him a little while before closing his eyes agreeing to the other man's request.

He smiled at him as he start to sing.

And upon the song once again, A pieces of memories reawaken.

He sang the song to the man he loves once again as the same person did for him a long time ago. It was his song, he should remember it. He only knows that he's singing the song. Little did he expect that this simple thing would unravel the truths from Gong Jun's memory.

"Isn't spring beautiful, Zhou Zi Shu?." Gong Jun stated. "Or can I call you...Ah- Xu." He adds.

Zhou Zi Shu was startled. Gong Jun's voice echoed in his ear. Hearing him say it once again deliver a light inside his heart as if it was awake and once again burning bright as it was a long time ago.

Zhou Zi Shu mirrored Gong Jun's smile, his eyes sparkling with warmth. " You've finally remembered." he remarked, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy.

Zhou Zi Shu's gaze met Gong Jun's, a mixture of longing and happiness shining in their eyes.
