As I slowly opened my eyes, the morning light streaming through the window illuminated the unfamiliar room. I was in Sean's bed, and we had slept together for the first time. My heart skipped a beat as I realized Sean wasn't beside me . Panic set in, and I threw off the covers, but before I could get out of bed, the bathroom door opened. Sean emerged, wearing only a towel, and my eyes widened. I couldn't tear my gaze away from his chiseled body, the water droplets glistening on his skin. He caught me staring, and a sly smile spread across his face.

"Good morning, Yibo, " Sean said, his voice low and husky. "Enjoying the view?"

My face flushed, and I looked away, trying to play it cool. "Just... Just wondering where you were."

Sean chuckled and walked towards me, his towel slipping precariously low. "I was just taking a shower. But now that I'm back, I think we should start the day off right. "

He leaned in, his lips brushing against mine, sending shivers down my spine. I felt like melting into his kiss, but my shyness got the better of me. I pulled away, my heart racing.

"Sean, stop teasing me, " I whispered, trying to sound stern but failing miserably.

Sean laughed, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh, Yibo, you're so cute when you're flustered."

I threw a pillow at him, and he ducked, laughing. "I'm going to take a shower, " I muttered, fleeing to the bathroom.

As I locked the door behind me, I heard Sean's laughter echoing outside. I couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of belonging I'd never experienced before.

Under the warm water, I tried to calm my racing thought. Memories of the previous night flooded my mind. Sean's proposal, my agreement, and the promise of a new life together. But amidst the happiness, a nagging thought lingered -my true identity. I had to tell Sean the truth, no matter how daunting it seemed.

When I emerged from the bathroom, Sean was dressed and sitting on the bed, looking ridiculously handsome.

"Hey, feel better?" He asked, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

I nodded, trying to play it cool. "Yeah, thanks."

Sean patted the bed beside him. "Come here, Yibo. Let's talk."

I hesitated for a moment before sitting down beside him. He put his arm around me. Pulling me close.

"What's on your mind, yibo?" Sean asked, his voice gentle.

I took a deep breath, trying to put my thoughts into words." I don't know what's happening between us, Sean. But I feel..... Safe with you. Like I can be myself."

Sean's expression softened, and he pulled me closer. "You can always be yourself with me, Yibo. I care about you, deeply."

My heart skipped a beat at his words. No one had ever said anything like that to me before. Sean deserves to know the truth.

"Sean, I....... " I started, but he interrupted me with a kiss.

"Don't say anything, Yibo. Just know that I'm here for you, always. "

I took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "I have something important to tell you. Something related to me."

Sean's eyes locked onto mine, encouraging me to continue. But just as I opened my mouth to speak, his phone rang.
