Rough

19. Wound

Zun has been waiting to meet Shen waiting for the right time, but it looks like his condition gets worse. Zun knows all the movement his brother make and he knows exactly how Shen has been in the studio almost all his time. Zun has been contacting Xian Xi every now and then, to keeping his brother in care. He is already get out of the hospital this week, but Shen doesn't bat an eye about it. Even Zun told Xian Xi to spread the news, but looks like Shen has enough with Zun rejection.

The time of Shen recital gets closer, once again Xian Xi came to pick him up to another city, with their van. This time, Zun bodyguard tailing behind. He is determined to keep his brother safe, even without Shen consent. even though for Zun, Shen is his only family he can't afford to lose. Moreover, Zun keeps having a bad feeling about Shen, while he is in his most weak state of mind. Once more thing happened, Zun sure Shen will falling apart. Even when he can't come because of his injured body, he wants to make sure Shen will be fine.

Shen Wei mind wander a lot these days. His heart seems not moving where he'd been held a month ago. All the things happen to shake his world, and he seems to run out of emotion to feel. He's not even sure he could play in his piano this fast, albeit his body works fine, his brain is still in the idle state. Like a Shen Wei, he bottled it up perfectly, hoping no one will notice.

"You okay, ge? How's your feeling today?" Xian Xi takes a peek.

"Thrilled. Can't wait to play again." Shen's answering with all the motivation left he could find inside.

It's more to ask the manager to see that Shen's eyes are in the last stage of crying. Shen kept getting back in himself, when Xian Xi talking about the recital, doesn't even care that they are arriving. A chilled shiver flows in his back, until his neck, he definitely not ready about this. His body in the merge of falling, he felt pain almost in his wholesome existence. Now of all time, his instinct let him stumbling forward. As much as Shen hates himself, Zun words was the one he loathes the most.

They crash on one of the finest hotel in town, looking for the extravagant entrance. Shen Wei waits in the lobby, sitting still until Xiao Xi bringing him the hotel card and his baggage. With the soul on him getting thinner, he drops his body in the bed, and passed out of all the wary.

Zun could see there's something off about the brother, but still not sure why. He knew how fragile Shen heart is. He's now in the need of someone the most, but he rejected all the people except of Zhao. Despite how he denied Zhao Yun Lan, Zun is trying hard to find his whereabouts and try to bring him to his brother. Though even for Zun, he's so hard to be contacted, so Zun goes deep to find Zhao's friend and colleague.

Actually, Zun only want to give Shen space for him to think, for the trouble between both of them. Purposely, Zun is putting a show in front of his brother. He really wants his brother to admit him as a man. It's been forever since they left the risky and moody adolescence time, yet Shen Wei was still like a 10 years old stubborn kid. He knows well enough that Shen go to his studio to be with the piano, but no sound coming out at all. That was never a good thing.

"Have you heard something about Zhao Yun Lan?" Zun sitting in a restaurant.

"Yes, sir. He's with his father. In other city, looks like they're having important meeting with his father colleague." one of his guard tells him.

"He's with his father?"

"It seems that he cannot escape his father, sir. Zhao Yun Lan is the single successor of his father company."

"When is their meeting held?"

"Tomorrow, sir."

Tomorrow is not a good time for Zhao to have a meeting! Zun putting the glass on the table, and rubbing his hand together. It's his habit when he's thinking hard. He had a bad feeling about Shen Wei, all of sudden, Xian Xi called him.

"Ye Zun, sir. There's something really wrong about Shen Wei ge. ." He heard the sound with fear.

The things Yezun said to Xian Xi when he first say yes to this job, was to told Zun immediately if Shen can't play the piano. Xian Xi remembers that vividly, with a threat in his eyes,when Zun said that. What Zun feared of has happened and he doesn't even know how to handle this.

" I know. He's having hard time to cope with everything." Zun said. "For the time being, stay with him. How's he?"

"He said he couldn't hear the sound of the Piano..."

The things terrorizes Zun finally happen. This is the worst. It would be very hard to handle, that stupid brother of him. He's so naive making Zun sick of him. But leaving him not an option, even he still has some human emotion left towards his brother.

"And?" he asked as calm as he could.

"He says he will continue playing for tomorrow, sir." Xian Xi voice keeps disappearing.

"Right. Take care of him. He'll be fine." Zun ended his phone call

Zun was alone, torn between having a nice talk to his brother explaining all the things he had done or he has to do something at least to bring Zhao with him as soon as he could. the second option would be easier though. Explaining everything about him would still has risk Zun couldn't bear, Shen Wei could no longer take him as a brother.

Zun has done research about Zhao father, and he found nothing. Zhao Xin Ci was once a military man, turned into business man when he can't no longer serve his country. Because of his natural commanding talent, he got the business big. Zun not someone so stupid to disturb a sleeping dragon, as Xin Ci also known very clean and honest, making him wonder how Zhao Yun Lan could turn easygoing like that. Now Zun has no other option, he could only text Zhao to sent him the venue of the event.
