When Only Love Remains

chapter 16

After dinner Wang Yibo set off in the direction of his room. Seungyoun said he wanted to take a stroll outside to digest the food. Wang Yibo decided to take a quick shower before going to bed. The workout from earlier still left traces of sweat and ugly odour on his body. He climbed the stairs leisurely one by one. His mind was slightly preoccupied with Xiao Zhan's words.

The moment his steps fell on the corridor, the lights started flickering. The sudden eeriness engulfed the ambience and a fear rose within himself. He doesn't remember the lights of this house were of poor quality. His steps started faltering slowly and he waited for the lights to start working properly.

A moment passed.

Two moments passed.

Then three, four... but the flickering continued. His back was covered with a cold sweat and his breath quickened. He looked downstairs to weigh his options. But his room, which was a few steps away was more fitting as an answer in this given situation.

With quicker steps, he ran into his room, opening the door with a big bang. He looked at the brightly lit room and heaved a sigh, he is safe. He closed the door behind him and slumped on the wooden surface to stabilize his breathing. He is afraid of the dark, ghosts and bugs. Everyone in the fandom knows that as an indissoluble part of Wang Yibo's life. But except for Yaya, none knows the real reason behind it. The fear for those small creatures and the inexistence of souls in the dark were embedded in his every being when he was a toddler. However, he never saw these things as his weakness. He lowkey believed on the hope that one day someone was going to walk him out of this mess, that there will be a day where he won't be afraid of bugs and ghosts anymore, that he could see through the night as how one sees through the day.

As a normal ambience in the room sinks in his mind, he lifts his body to take a bath. With a zombie walk he enters inside and closes the door behind him. He doesn't lock it as he has already locked his room. Striping his clothes, the naked figure steps in the shower cubicle.

Turning on the faucet, he raises his head to face the shower outlet. As the hot water warms his body, he flips his right hand through his hair.

"So Hot..." a figure peeking inside through the slightly opened door whispered. The bare broad shoulders flexed as he raised his both hands to flip and keep his slightly long hair up. Even though the shoulders were broad, the waist was thin. Xiao Zhan gulped down an unknown desire after watching the hot water sliding down, leaving the smoke on the body of the person taking shower.

As Wang Yibo slightly turned to get the shower gel, Xiao Zhan slammed the door shut. Wang Yibo's member was bigger than his, both by length and girth. If this was the flaccid state, what would it look like in the erect state? Not only does Wang Yibo have a better-looking handsome face than him, he also has a perfect body with abs.

Watching the perfect naked body of the idol, which probably no one had seen until now, he didn't know how to react. Does Ru Yi really know what great thing she is leaving behind for a playboy like him? But no matter how, the more he thinks about it, the more envious he feels, the hotter it became. There is this weird desire in his body that he really cannot pinpoint.

Leaving his mission half way, he slowly walked out and thought of meeting Ru Yi. He cannot let his friend note these sudden changes within himself. He winked at them before quietly slipping out.

Behind him, Wang Yibo's mind wandered on today's events. As the warmth started refreshing his every muscle, his vision shifted to Xiao Zhan again. Xiao Zhan asked Ru Yi to apparently follow him. The small argument near the exit gate, was he really rude to Xiao Zhan? If Ru Yi falls for Xiao Zhan, won't he be free in the first case? But what if Xiao Zhan doesn't really have feelings for her? No matter how one looks at it, at this time, even if Wang Yibo's mind asked him not to think about Xiao Zhan again, his heart betrayed him outrightly.
