Xiao Zhan POV

The tension from earlier disappeared thanks to Wang Yibo's effort. We went to mart, we made dinner together and for once, my house felt lively again. It was a good change. Everything was going smoothly until Wang Yibo brought my attention to a memory from years ago.

"Why don't you sleep in other bedroom?"

"I will sleep here, now go." I coldly said to Yibo. Even though he held the record of most iciness. But I can't sleep in those rooms. The memories of those haunted night conquer me and I can't fight back, not alone.

Every story has a sad flash back so shut up and listen (‡ಠ╭╮ಠ)

A very bitter incident that turned me into a sinner. 3 years ago, I was once a child with a happy family. My father was humble office worker, with a salary that helped us get by happily while my mother was housewife who showered us both with care. Love was in the center of our family.

One night, the moon was exceptionally bright. I was always found of nature but that night, it was extremely alluring. As If calling me. I stared at it for so long through my window. The cool breeze of night and the twinkling stars made it hard for me to resist. I stared at the glimmering moon without even blinking an eye. In a daze, like my soul was pulled towards it and then everything went blank.

Keep listening (个_个)

It was too sudden; it was too dark and it was painful. But the moment I opened my eyes, everything had been turned upside down. In the pool of warm red fluid, oozing out of cold blue bodies in the near distance, I sat there like a beautiful doll painted in red. Like a puppet with no emotions, the invisible strings pulled me up and I realized what had happened.

I killed my parents with my own hands.

When Wang Yibo left, I let myself fall on the couch, wishing to sleep without any trouble. Oddly, I only find sleep in this house, as if my soul is bounded to it. Even when I went to Wang Yibo's luxurious house, it took me far too many battles just to get a wink.

I closed my eyes and let the darkness engulfed me. But the peaceful darkness I wished for was not granted to me once again.

When have ever the dark given peace?

A series of sharp pain pounded my head, I'm sure getting smashed by hammer would hurt less. I forced myself to wake up from the dark but the more I tried the harder I was pushed back.

"..Z..han..ge...?"

That was Yibo's voice but what happened? Why does his voice feel so pained. I tried again to push through the dark, trying to escape this unknown pressure but it came crashing back on me, repelling me away every second.

"Yibo! Where are you?!"

I called but all I heard was whimpering sound. Jesus Christ! never cry with somebody else's face. (‡ಠ╭╮ಠ)

What was happening to him? I got sacred, what if I woke up in the same warmth of blood? What if I Kill Yibo?

Terrified of the consequences, I decided to hide in the darkness like a coward I was, not having any desires to break free.

The more his crying sound echoed in my mind, the deeper I hide.

"Yibo..." My tears made an escape, replicating the fear in my heart. I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to lose him. I'm scared.

Somebody save me...
