After having a heated session, they came out as if nothing happened. They were good at this, after all, they were actors.

Hoping that they could meet often but since their drama, The Untamed had been released, sales has been going up. More and more interviews and photoshoots. They were happy that sometimes the photoshoot and interview would only be them both but the other times when they had to be apart made them sad.

Zhan being the older one decided not to be selfish and just go through all his workload. Everyday coming back home and being greeted by his maids and dealing with his business is very hectic. Zhan never expected the drama would have been really popular making him spend lesser time on Yibo.

Yibo tried messaging Zhan through his hectic workload but he never got a response from the older. Only assuming that, Zhan was busy. This, however, continued for the next 5 days which made him worried. Finally, on a windy Friday, he called Zhan's manager.

"Manager Kim, is everything okay on Zhan's end?

"Yibo! yes he is fine"

"Where is he now?"

"He is at home"

"Oh really?" sounding a little disappointed.

"Is everything okay, Yibo?"

"Yes.."

He ended the call. Going back to his thoughts on why Zhan is ignoring him when he was at home. It was currently only 6 p.m. So why isn't Zhan replying? He wanted to go to the older's house but he did not know where he lived making a frown visible on his face.

He tried going back to the place where he had found Zhan. He searched the area looking for apartments but only found a broken-down apartment. It can't be. But he still went and tried looking around. To his surprise, although the outside looked so broken the inside was decent. With 5 guards, guarding the residential made Yibo a little flustered.

He walked towards them to ask if they had seen Zhan. They took a good look at him and one bald guy spoke through their mini earphone "Someone is looking for Zhan" receiving a reply from the other end. They then told Yibo that there was no one named Zhan living here. Before he left, they had asked his name.

Yibo walked out of the doors with a frown clearly visible. He had his suspicion about Zhan but he had always brushed the thought away. After driving away from that area, he headed home.

Reaching home, he was tired and all alone in this apartment. He sat on the couch slowly drifting to sleep, suddenly his phone rang making him to jolt awake. He picked it up instantly when he saw the name.

"Yibo"

"Gege, where are you?"

"I'm at home, finally I have time to spend on you"

"Where is your home?"

"Eh, why?"

"I miss you ge"

"Aish, let's have a video call around 8 p.m"

"Okay, gege!"

They both ended the call, Yibo sounding like an excited 6 years old. He quickly took a shower and changed into his pajama's and logged into his computer

At sharp 8, he received a call from Zhan, smiling while clicking to answer the call. He saw Zhan's background that was fully black. Such a dull color, for the very hyper older. They talked about their schedules and how they miss each other for around 45 minutes.

Suddenly, Yibo saw Zhan looking at the side of his room as if he was communicating with someone through his eyes. Although Zhan tried to play it off as he was staring into nothing, Yibo was sharp to notice.
