Falling into your smile (Lu Yue x Yu Ming)

Chapter 3.5

As promised!! I've made a 3.5 so just consider is the same chapter as chapter 3.
Have a fun time reading!

The smaller brunette dragged his feet along the paved concrete side walk, with each step he could hear his heart beating out of his chest and for some reason his skin felt like tight magma on his flesh. His breathing was quick as he quietly tried to calm himself down, everyone noticed how uneasy he was but no one knew how to console him nor did most of them have much interest.

 As Lu Yue saw the red and white bus with black contrasts he dreaded the thoughts creeping into his mind. As he started spiraling again, he was interrupted from his thoughts with the sound of the bus engine starting and the stolen glares he got from passing people on the street. When he boarded the bus the mood had sunken deeper than that of an, not one person said anything but nothing needed to be said to understand the thoughts of what everyone was thinking. Lu Yue had decided to sit in the first empty seat in the front, He could feel the doors close behind him cutting off the chilling air of Shenzhen.

 Even after the cold winter air was consumed by the mechanical heating A/C, he still felt the cold silent glances drilling into the back of his skull. But for one singular moment in the corner of his eye, he saw a solemn and almost apologetic gaze staring right at him.

He could feel the fixated gaze on him, and he knew it was coming from Ming, but he didn't want to further trouble anyone just because he was selfish enough to try and squirm his way out of taking responsibility for his actions by sharing his burden. Hours passed in this uncomfortable silence, the only person who wasn't as effected was Mao but this was only due to his praise worthy ignorance. When the sound of the running engine was finally replaced by the sound of the sudden brakes sweeping against the brittle rocks of the road, everyone was in silence.

 Chubby was the first to get up from his seat and storm off from the bus and into the building, then Cat started making his way through the lane followed by K as they both awkwardly shifted their way into the building as well. Ming, who was still looking at Lu Yue, hadn't moved an inch from off his seat. Maybe he was just looking for an opportunity to talk but regardless of the intent behind his actions, Lu Yue wanted no part of it. 

 Before making his way off from the bus, Lu Yue took a deep breath knowing what was to come the second he walked through the doors of a place he once called home. He dreaded the cold gaze he'd get from his brother, he dreaded the long talk he'd get from Rui, he dreaded the thought of answering the more than likely 50 missed calls from his mother, he dreaded everything about the situation at hand. His ragged white shoes that had been worn for a week straight clashed with the paved road below him, with each striding step his heart thumped like an anchor weighing him down as he dreaded what was to come. 

In front of him was a tall secure door, and all he needed to do was twist the knob but he felt as if he got even so close to the door, his hand would fall off from his arm. His own thoughts of anxiety clouded his awareness of his surroundings so he didn't realize the hovering shadow hazing behind him. Ming looked down at Lu Yue and was thinking of how to start the conversation. For a moment everything had stood still, he reached his non-injured hand out and grazed it past the shorter males arm setting it on the freezing metal knob. 

This gesture had snapped Lu Yue back into reality as he realized who was behind him. For a moment he almost let out a yelp out of shock, but then he realized Ming's intention to help him open the door and he recollected himself and immediately walked into the entrance door while mumbling under his breath, you could hear the shaking sense of shame emanating from his voice as he whispered the singular word "thanks.." Scurrying away through the halls as his shoes clattered up the stairs frantically, his left eye caught sight of a tall man crossing his legs in his jet black and white gamer chair. 

He didn't need to look any longer at the disapproving face of his older brother because he knew it would just make everything seem so much worse than it actually was. The sliding of the quick twist as his hand jerked the door to his room open made a loud crackling sound that made him flinch. In one swift motion he sled his hand across the table and snatched his phone off the cold wood table. 

The moment his finger slightly grazed the screen of the expensive modeled phone, the bright screen stung his eyes with over 200+ notifications that the majority of where from either the managing team or his mother. He had no intention to answer the calls at the moment, he could barely lift his feet off the ground so he definitely had no energy to deal with whatever punishment was to come at the moment. Just as LV was about the set his phone down back onto the table, the sound of a high pitched ding emitted from his phone. Once again he set his eyes on the brightening screen and as he read the message his eyes widened, for the first time in 5 years his ''father'' had messaged him.
