MIRAGE

Sean watched his twin sleeping curled up in the small makeshift bed in one of the corners of that lonely place. He saw him there with his long legs tucked up and hugging himself, sleeping the same way he had done since he was little.

He crept over to the spot and carefully climbed up to lie down beside him. He put his arm around the boy's thin waist and rested his forehead on his back.

Despite being adults, both brothers would always sleep clinging to each other whenever they had the chance to share a bed. They stayed together, feeling each other's warmth, just as it had been since their mother's womb.

- I thought you wouldn't sleep - Zhan's voice was low.

- Did I wake you up? - He placed his head on the back of the boy's neck.

- I was waiting for you.

- Just sleep.- He closed his eyes.

- Brother...since we have reached this situation...- He paused for a long time.- I think....

- Don't think about it too much.- He sighed with his eyes still closed.- Everything is going to be okay.

- Shen betrayed us, she led us to ruin. Now everyone will know that there are two of us who attacked.

- I told you not to think about it, just leave it all to me.

- What do you intend to do? - He turned to look at him.

- Just know that there's nothing to worry about.

- Sean!.- He grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.- Don't you dare do something stupid!

- I won't do anything stupid.-He smiled.- I know it's hard to believe me but I'm telling the truth.

- You know that if something happens to you I won't be able to bear it, right? - He showed desperation.

- l know.- He smiled again.

- So stay still! Let's just find a solution together.

- OK.

- Imbecile.- He clung to his waist.- Stop giving me headaches, just stay still.

- It's a promise.- He placed a kiss on his twin's forehead, then smiled. - I won't give you any more headaches.

Wang Yibo stood inside the phone booth still holding the phone in his hands as the sound of the open line could be heard.

He hesitated for a few minutes, not knowing whether to dial that phone number or not. He felt restless, impatient and nervous, not knowing what to expect once the person on the other line answered.

Finally, gathering his courage, he dialed the number he knew by heart. He waited patiently while listening to the tone on the other end.

He clenched his fists impatiently as he fought the strong desire to hang up. He was about to give up when a sudden voice came from the other end of the line, it had a hint of tiredness and discouragement.

- Hello?.- Yunian was on the other end of the line.

-......

- Hello?

- ......- He bit his lower lip.

- Yibo? Is that you?

- ....Brother...- He tried to keep his voice from breaking.
