A Good Addiction - Volume 1

Chapter 6 - Confronting the World

Shortly after Jingyu's emotions spilled over, they both decided to lay down for a nap. They felt exhausted, knowing that the emotional drain and stress can make someone feel like they just ran a marathon. As soon as their heads hit the pillows, both were out. Weizhou on the left, Jingyu on the right - with Weizhou characteristically curled up in a fetal position hugging his whale.

After an hour, Jingyu awoke feeling recharged. He glanced down to look at Weizhou soundly sleeping, and chuckled to himself. Little did their fans know how gut-busting funny it was to him that they assigned a cat persona to Zhou Zhou. Sure, it made sense from the point that Zhou supported cat charities, and was an admitted cat lover. But the real funny part was what he was witnessing that moment: Weizhou's habit of emitting a soft purr when exhaling as he slept. He would inhale through his nose, mouth closed. And exhale half way through his nose, and then his lips would part and exhale the rest of the way. Rinse, and repeat. And those lips, so cute popping open, then closed....

He had told Weizhou about it after their first night together while filming, and Zhou wasn't sure how to take the news from this guy. It's now a little part of his Zhou that he cherishes, when he can catch it happening.

He then reached out to gently caress Zhou's cheek. He didn't want to wake him, just gently touch him, to feel if he was truly real. It was hard to believe this was happening. Sometimes, he even can't believe how much he's accomplished himself. Deep down, he still views himself as the humble kid from the boonies. These last nine months have been such a whirlwind, yet, they've been little league training compared to what the future holds. And he was ready to risk it all for love, but at the same time, wanted to protect and ensure no harm came to Weizhou.

Weizhou's eyes slowly opened. He smiled when he realized Jingyu's hand was on his cheek. He kissed his fingers, and reached out to cup Jingyu's cheek. This man, with such a deep-thinking, caring personality... how did they get to this point?

Jingyu smiled, and got up to go to the restroom, leaving Weizhou to his thoughts. His mind wandered back to the first moment he realized he was falling for Jing. They had been rehearsing the movements for the intimate scenes, and it was a late evening. Jingyu was in a deep discussion with the director on where Gu Hai was coming from for a scene. Weizhou was getting bored just waiting, and was having fun hogging the camera while Chai was trying to film for behind the scenes footage. Then he had suddenly felt a hand pull him back, and ended up laying in Jingyu's lap. Jingyu continued to concentrate on the discussion, but Weizhou had felt mischievous and started banging his head into Jing's chest. Jingyu casually grabbed Zhou's head by his chin to make him stop. It was such a natural move, forceful, yet gentle... loving. The action was imparted in only the way that Jingyu could do. Weizhou became lost in thought about how nice it was to be in Jingyu's arms, and to be touched that way.

Jingyu returned from the restroom. "What are you thinking about?"

Weizhou was on his phone, pulling up the video. He showed it to Jingyu. "Do you remember this?"

Jingyu chuckled. "I do. You were being such a brat, I had to pull you down and make you behave."

Weizhou smiled, and paused the video at the spot right after Jingyu had held his chin. "This is the moment I started falling for you."

Jingyu looked at Weizhou and smiled. "Did you noticed that I started touching you more and more after that? I couldn't get enough. I had to feel you. Just like earlier, before you woke up."

Li Hao and Zheng Ge returned, looking exhausted, yet enthusiastic. They had been meeting with media contacts and friends in the industry all day. When Weizhou and Jingyu finished filling them in on how the meeting went with the DCU chief, Li Hao broached the subject of what they had decided as a path forward.
