More Than Blue [Completed]

(10) - A Bet -

Wang Yibo POV

I look at his retreating back. Again.

We're attending our drama annual anniversary. He suddenly said he need to leave and go somewhere.

'Is he okay?'

I look outside, watching him intently and then I saw him stumble and fell down. I stand up abruptly and makes the foods and drinks falling down.

"Yibo? What happen?" Ji Li ask.

"Are you okay?"

"I need to go" I take my bag and coat, then run outside. Zhan-ge already gone from my sight. Hope he is alright.

"Where are you going?" Ji Li yell from the door.

"Watch out!" He screams. I stop abruptly when a motorcycle almost hit me for suddenly cross the tiny street.

I run faster then I saw him walking slowly holding his head.

'Did he get hurt?'

I follow him silently.

I pull down my hoodie, put on a face mask. Avoiding someone recognizes me.

I made a bet with myself.

If Ge turns around, I'd tell him everything.

I'd tell him I knew everything.
I'd tell him to stop pretending.
I'd tell him all of those lies I made.

If Ge turns around.
I'd hug him and tell him everything gonna be alright.

If Ge turns around,
I'd tell him. I didn't mind dying and died alongside him.

But Zhan-ge didn't look back. He walked forward not looking back even once.

So there's nothing I could do except looking at his frail back.

I walked behind him all the way to our home. When he get inside I stood in the entrance. Looking up, to our home.

Our home, can I still call it home when you're not inside? Zhan-ge is my home. Where I return to.

I stood there for a while and go up.

When I got inside, I see him eating instant noodle.
He looks surprised to see me back so soon.

"Yibo? Why are you back so soon?"

"I'm tired. They're so noisy" I sit down with him in the dining table.

I take his chopsticks and starts eating his noodles.

"Didn't you eat at the get together?" He ask take another chopsticks and hands me a glass of water.

"I did. But now I'm starving again"

He nods.

"Why're you eating noodles instead of rice?" I ask and drink some water.

"I'm lazy. Beside these instant noodles taste good right?"

"Mn" I smile.

As I sat eating noodles with him, l'd think
'Don't you dare dying without me you stupid Zhan-ge'

Instead of drinking water. I want to scream at his face.

'Tell me everything! Let me hold you. Let me hug you. I'll die with you'
'I'll follow you and pay back for everything you did for me!'

Sadly, There's nothing I can do beside smiling and finished the noodles.
