Love in full bloom

Part-12(lost..)

          Yiun burst into the studio, screaming: "Chen, you idiot! How could you show that pic  to my mom? She even showed it to my dad!"

Chen cowered, "Sorry, Bo! I'm really sorry... But Aunty was happy after seeing it, I swear. It's good to see her future son-in-law ,in advance !"

Yiun chased Chen, trying to catch him. "What , You even told her about your stupid  assumptions?  how could u do that ?  it's not true, Chen!"

Chen dodged, "But it's going to happen soon..."

After running around in circles, they finally collapsed, exhausted. Chen said, "Why are you so stubborn, Yiun? You still won't accept it."

Yiun , "Shut up, Chen. what should i accept ?, there is nothing like that."

but,You know, it reminds me of our childhood days when we'd run after each other for toys."

Chen's expression turned somber, "Yeah, I miss those days too... and our hometown. It's been 8 years since we left that city. I really miss that place and... papa."

Yiun got closer to Chen and put his hand on Chen's shoulder, saying in a consoling tone, "Chen, we're all here with you. Don't be sad ."

Chen looked down, his voice barely above a whisper, "I miss the days when I spent precious moments with Papa, but now these are only memories for me ."

A moment of silence passed, heavy with painful memories. That joyfull moments will never come back .

       Suddenly Yiun's face lit up with a great idea and he excitedly said, "Chen, how about we go there this weekend?"

Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, "What? Are you crazy? We can't go there."

Yiun persisted, "Come on, Chen! We're not kids anymore. We're grown up now. We can go ourselves ."

Chen hesitated, "But Uncle, aunt ,and mom won't allow us to go. u know bo."

iun: "Why should we tell them? I'll say   that we have an art project and we can't go home this weekend. What do you think of my idea?"

Chen: "Not bad, but if they find out, you know what will happen to us. And it takes a whole day to get there."

yiun: "Are you dumb? We'll take a flight, not the train. And don't worry about our parents, I can handle it if they find out. So, let's start packing, Chen.

" We're going for two days, not for  a month."

"So what ?I want to be cool, so i need to take more cloths ."

"you won't change."

        Sean sat at his desk, staring blankly at the files in front of him. His mind wandered to Yiun and the confession he'd been wanting to make. It felt like the most daunting task ever, as he'd never been good at expressing his feelings.

He typed a text to Yiun: "Hey Bobo, are you free on Sunday?"

Yiun's response came quickly: "Sorry gg, I have a tight deadline for a project and won't be free."

( on the other side Yiun felt a pang of guilt for lying, but he couldn't let Sean know about the trip he'd planned with Chen.)

Sean's next text surprised Yiun: "then how about , I meet you at your studio?"

Yiun's response was immediate: "No gg, you can't come here."(he was really nervous ,thinking about what should he tell next )

Sean raised an eyebrow, curious about Yiun's sudden refusal. "But why?"
