Chapter 20. POV Yibo - The best friend

Yibo stood in front of the mirror in the bedroom and watched through him, his fiancé, the author Xiao Zhan, while he dressed. Not that he had to do it through a mirror, he could just turn around and watch. He just enjoyed it.

The world has been spinning for almost seven months for Yibo, all about his love for the author. Sometimes when once again he just couldn't believe how happy he is, he pinched his arm or cheek to check if it really wasn't just a dream.

And today was another one of those days when he checked. To find out if it's not just a dream. He just had to look at Zhan to get that tingling feeling of happiness spreading all over his body.

The sun is shining, it's warm, and a gentle breeze is blowing. Through the tilted window, the wind blew in and made the white curtains at the window dance. The birds were chirping their morning songs and somewhere in the distance a dog was barking.

A perfect morning, as Yibo found.

Yibo turned to Zhan and walked towards him smiling. He put his arms around him and gave him a kiss. "ZhanZhan, I love you." He said, stealing another kiss.

Zhan kissed him sensually and pressed Yibo tightly to him. "I love you too Bo." He replied happily.

At breakfast with Zhan's mother and Louis, they discussed the day and finalized some final things for the upcoming wedding. A topic in which Yibo and his soon-to-be mother-in-law were completely absorbed.

"Oh ZhanZhan, I'm meeting Seungyoun today, I want to talk to him." Yibo said.

"Okay, you want me to go with you?" Zhan wanted to know. But Yibo shook his head. He didn't want Seungyoun to get anywhere near his author.

In the past weeks, while he and Zhan first had their trip and then spent a week in Greece, Seungyoun had been coming back here again and again and asked for him or Zhan.

Again and again, Zhan's mother had made him run away and the last time, she even threw her slipper at Seungyoun and hit him on the shoulder. Unfortunately neither Zhan nor Yibo had been home at that time and finally Louis had to kick him out because he refused to leave.

Yibo was fed up with the fact that Seungyoun, the man who once was his best friend, kept showing up here again from time to time and just can't understand when it's enough.

Already the evening before, he had called Seungyoun and asked him for a meeting. And immediately he agreed, but he became grumpy when Yibo told him that they would meet in the city and not at home.

After breakfast together, Yibo accompanied his fiancé to his workroom to read the new chapters that Zhan had written the day before. Yibo was pleased that Zhan was writing the story about their first meeting and how they came together. This also showed him how much it meant to Zhan. Because he never wrote about his ex boyfriend.

When Yibo finished reading, he went to the kitchen to help Zhan's mother cook for lunch. They cooked together every day and he has learned a lot from her since then. He really enjoyed it.

"And if you see that son of a bitch, slap him in the face. Oh, how that guy pisses me off." Scolded Zhan's mother when they talked about the upcoming conversation with Seungyoun.

"I'll give him my opinion Mom. And I'll tell him to stop coming here and bother you." Yibo replied and hugged his soon to be mother-in-law.

Zhan's mother gently patted Yibo on the upper arm and smiled. "I know he means a lot to you and you have been through a lot as friends. But now he's just going too far. He took advantage of your friendship to get to close to Zhan."

Meanwhile, Yibo and Zhan have also learned that there was never a pipe burst in Seungyoun's apartment. He made it up so that he could be near Zhan. Which made Yibo even angrier.

When they had finished lunch, it was time for Yibo to make his way to the appointment. In the park by the lake benches.

Fifteen minutes too late, Seungyoun arrived at the appointed spot in the park. Yibo was completely perplexed when he greeted Yibo as if nothing had happened. For a moment, he left Yibo speechless.

"So what do you want to talk about? Something wrong in your relationship?" Seungyoun wanted to know.

"My relationship is going great. We're getting married in two weeks. It couldn't be better."

"Then what do you want to talk about?"

"I want you to stop showing up at Zhan and my house. I want you to leave Zhan alone. I didn't know why you're so after him, but I don't like it. Zhan is my fiance, we love each other and we are getting married in two weeks. He never has been and never will be interested in you."

"What makes you think I want something from your boyfriend? Maybe I just missed my best friend!" Hissed Seungyoun angrily.

"You shouldn't forget how long we've known each other. Besides, it's more than obvious that you're after my Zhan. Honestly, I thought I could trust you as my best friend. And then you pull this crap on me and try to sabotage my relationship. How dare you even think about trying to destroy my happiness?"

"You don't know what love is. How many times have you been in love in your life? Never! Your Zhan should have someone at his side, he's not so inexperienced as a newborn baby. Someone who not only takes, but also gives." Seungyoun screamed.

"What does it matter how many times I was in love? It's the first time, yes that's right. But that doesn't make me love him any less and that doesn't make me deserve him any less. And I'm not just taking. Sure, I can't buy him expensive things, but he doesn't want me to. He loves me for who I am and nothing else matters!"

"That's what it looks like, my love." Yibo turned around hastily and looked into Zhan's eyes.

"ZhanZhan, why are you here?" He asked in surprise.

"I wanted to make sure he didn't put any crap in your head. You know I trust you, but I'm afraid he'll talk anything into you." Zhan replied.

"Xiao Zhan, what do you want with Yibo? You can have any guy. Then why Yibo, who has nothing and is nothing?" Bitched Seungyoun.

"I love Yibo. And he has and is more than you can ever imagine. He has a pure heart and is the most loving person I know. These are things you will never have. I don't value material possessions, I don't need to receive gifts. Because the love I get from Yibo is more than enough. No money in the world can buy what Yibo and I have. I would still love him even if we had nothing and had to live on the streets. Just leave him and me alone. Think about yourself and maybe you can be Yibo's best friend again someday. But know this: I will never love you." Zhan said.

Zhan took Yibo's hand and kissed it. "Let's go home." He said to Yibo and Yibo nodded smiling with tears in his eyes. What he felt at that moment he could not express in words.

With a clear conscience and the certainty that Zhan only loves him for himself, he walked with Zhan through the park, holding his hand tightly. For him, it takes nothing more than a warm sunny day with a gentle breeze and his fiancé to be happy.
