The soft wind caresses his hair. Strands of hairs entwine like the strings of music. His subtle scent of rose, embraces me.

I see him changing every night. His eyes are no longer innocent. In its place are the crimson red ones.

His smile is no longer innocent, they're shrewd, malacious and diabolical.

The aura around him is dark. He is truly a king of the diabolical relam.

But he's still mine.

Tonight, it's just us. On a mountain cliff, beyond us is the ocean and above us is the luminous sky with bright beautiful stars.

Tomorrow is the siege.

Tonight is ours.

"Will everything be alright, Lan Zhan?" He questions.

I don't know Wei Ying, but can I express that?

I didn't answer, maybe he never required one.

"Play me something, Lan Zhan"

Could I have ever denied him anything?

I play the Zither. I play for him. I play for me. I play for us.

As the night wears on, he quietly places his head on my shoulders. He seems the most peaceful there. Our aura becomes one.

I wish I could have caressed your face. I wish I could have spoken sweet words. But I didn't. It was never required between us.

A lot was left unspoken.

But not now.

Wang Yibo's POV:

I enter the basement to my house, where things of my past are locked up. Anticipation within me grows, as I near it.

It still catches my breath, whenever my eyes lay upon it.

Years back, I stumbled upon these ancient artefacts, that brought out the truth of my past. The first time I saw them, I cried my heart out. I felt his pain. I still do. I am him.

Brother sent me to Seoul, with a hope that time would heal everything, but it didn't, rather it had a different effect. Everyday, I dreamt a new dream. A new fact. My past life. I knew I was racing against time. Maybe. Maybe not. But every minute I was away, I was anxious.

Dusting away the webs, I am glad they were still here. Waiting for me. As I bring the light near them, it strikes me again. The pain, the piercing pain.

Unable to hold it in, I scream and I black-out.

"Wei Ying!!!" I yell and shoot up from my bed, and two arms surround me and try to cocoon me into comfort.

"Kid" the voice whispers and I calm down. I look at my brother's worried face. I know he worries for me.

I assure him, that I would eventually be ok and knowing me the best, he knows, I need to be alone. After all he knows where I was.

With a quick glance, he leaves me and goes about to instruct the house help.

Can you feel my heart Wei Ying? They long for you. Only you.
