Predestined Love

Predestined Special: Side Stories, Trapped

I'm sorry, Ming ah. Forgive me...But, I think I finally did it. I think that I had fallen in love. No, I know that I love him. I wouldn't have done what I did if I didn't love him.

Wang Yu was sitting in front of Yan Ming's tombstone. He'd brought Yan Ming his favourite flower; tulips. White ones. It's Yan Ming's birthday today. And he had never stopped coming for both his birthday and memorial day. And over the years the pain, became less and less prominent. These last few years, coming to celebrate both Yan Ming's birthday and memorial day, brought no more sadness and bitterness only memories and calmness. Even in death, Yan Ming was still the one with whom he could pour his heart out without being scared of being judged. After all he was his first love.

I know you told me. You wanted me to me happy..To find a new love. And I promised you that. Though I never fulfilled my promise..Not until now...I thought I had it in the bag, when I met Dayu. But, you know..We never started at all..Your cousin in law is a mean one. He stole that person right under my nose. Wang Yu joked, laughing a little.

Then I met that person. A brat. Seven years younger than me. Would you believe that?? What does he sees in an old man like me? And to even think that I switched position for him??? It was unthinkable. But I did it. You're laughing now, right, Ming ah? Your manly boyfriend, finally got laid after seven years and ended up being the bottom..Where's the sense in that?

Wang Yu looked at Yan Ming's picture on his tombstone.

You made me swear that I would not be broken hearted for long. I'm sorry, Ming ah.. It took me such a long time to finally do so..You must have been so burdened these seven years watching me come and still unable to fall in love..Forgive me...

But, what do I do now? I fell in love. But he's a brat. And I am too serious for him. Maybe for him, this is all just something normal. He's young- on top of his game. Unlike me. We have nothing in common..so it's better to forget about him, before this goes even further.

Don't me mad at me Ming ah..I had fallen in love just like I promised. You don't have to worry anymore. It's not like I'd die even if I ended up alone for the rest of my life..I can always come here and talk to you.

Your mother in law kept pestering me date again, though..But that's okay. I can deal with her..So funny, to see her now. Thinking that she used to disown me once. Nowadays, she had upgraded her tactics, she's trying to match me up with her mahjong friends' sons. How crazy is that?

Wang Yu laughed again. Then, he stopped.

And I wouldn't be unhappy. I had been living a very happy life, these couple of years, you know. I have friends. So, don't be mad Ming ah. Let me be like this..

"Ming might not be mad. You know how much he loved you!" A gruff voice startled Wang Yu, and he turned around and saw Professor Yan standing there.

"Father- How long have you been standing there?" Wang Yu asked as he nervously stood up.

"Since the beginning. We arrived almost at the same time. But you hardly noticed me..." professor Yan said gruffly, he had never seen Wang Yu with that look for so many years. Wang Yu had the exact same expression he had seven years ago when he was about to lose Yan Ming.

Wang Yu gasped then he paled before he turned bright red. There were some pretty intimate details he'd been confessing to Yan Ming just now. But his father in law didn't seem to be flustered at all about that. But he did look like he's annoyed at him. Wang Yu grimaced guiltily.

Professor Yan sighed then he walked towards Wang Yu, looking at him intently.

Then Wang Yu felt a hand reached out and smacked his head down, "Yan Ming might not be mad. But I certainly will!" Professor Yan scolded, "It had been seven years. You finally fell in love but you still wanted to be alone!?"
