Wang Yibo had been sitting in the large chair in the quiet office for about an hour, tapping his right heel on the floor and occasionally glancing at his watch. Had Zhan forgotten that he was there?

He shook his head slightly and then smiled at his impatience, he had never felt so eager to see or be close to a person as he was now. He knew it was absurd to get excited and hopeful about someone who would never be for him but how did he explain it to his heart? Not even reason has been able to overcome that foolish and emotional person when he decides to love.

Love? Was it really love? He had never experienced it, had never been interested in someone with such intensity as now. Could it be love? If so, then that feeling was as sweet as it was bitter.

Sweet because the feelings and emotions you experience when you think about or are around that special someone are unique and beautiful. Bitter when you are the only one who experiences these kinds of things, when the feeling is one-sided and will never be reciprocated.

That's right, Yibo could feel that mixture of sweetness and bitterness inside him. He had fallen in love.

Resigned and a little sad, he got up from his seat, placed the delicate package on the table and looked at it for a few seconds. He really wanted to deliver that gift personally, he was excited to see Zhan's reaction when he received it, but it was more than obvious that that would not be possible.

The sound of the door opening behind him made him turn around instinctively. The sad expression soon disappeared and a big smile appeared on his lips, in front of him was that cute black-haired boy.

- Yibo?.- Zhan looked surprised.

- I was about to leave.

- Have you been waiting long?

- Oh.- He scratched the back of his neck.- I came just when you told me to wait here for you to come back.

- What? I asked you to wait for me here?

- Yes...- Yibo's smile faded.- Don't you remember? An hour ago.

- Have you been...?.- He hit his forehead with his hand.- Fuck!...- He took a few steps towards Yibo.- I'm really sorry, I don't know how I forgot.- He dropped onto the couch and covered his face with his hands.- I've had a hectic morning today. There are so many things I have to take care of that as I move forward I even lose track of time.- He raised his gaze and looked the brown- haired boy in the eyes.- Forgive me, I didn't mean to keep you waiting.

- It's okay.- He smiled and squatted down.- But why do you have to push yourself so hard?- He held his hand.- You shouldn't, as far as I can see things are going very well. The remodeling of the theater, the stage and the other things are already ready. The rehearsals are going perfectly. As for me... I can put in more effort if you need it.

- You may see me as an exaggerator.- He smiled sadly.- But this is something important to me. It's something special.

- I can see it.- He nodded.- I can see the dedication and love you put into it.

- My father... - He looked down. - He was also an artist and this was also his dream... - His eyes became crystal clear. - Unfortunately he died before seeing it realized, so I want to do it for him.

- I understand. - He sat down next to him.

- We should give everything for our parents. - He stared straight ahead. - They have given us everything they have and have taken care of us, the love they give us is something that cannot be repaid even in a thousand lifetimes.
