My Man's Scandal [ZhanYi ver]

04 - Dream and meet

"Yibo." Zhan called up. Yibo gulped his saliva. The sudden seriousness hinted on the other's face made him so nervous inside. "I have something to tell you."

"Wh-what?" Yibo asked, stuttering. Zhan locked their eyes together. Slowly, his hand reached for Yibo's cheek, cupping it tenderly. Yibo was confused and nervous, but his eyes stayed on Zhan's.

"Maybe, maybe you would hate me after I tell you this. But I didn't want to keep this to myself anymore. Not when you almost slipped from my hand." Yibo blinked, the black orbs made him felt more anxious and nerve-wrecking. Zhan formed a small smile pulling away his hand. "Bo. We're friends for long. I never imagine this would happen between us, because I always thought we will be best friend forever. You're more like family to me. You stay with me when I'm away from my gege, you're like my own sibling since the first time we met. I'm lucky to have you as my best friend along the way I'm growing up. I don't think anyone can replace you for that." Zhan took a breath.

"Zhan, why you sudd-"

"Let me finished, please." Zhan pleaded. Yibo stared at him. "But...even though how much I wanted to keep you and our friendship forever, I can't do it. I'm getting crazy for not telling you this. When...when Zihan started to hit on you, I'm getting pissed off. When she openly confessed her feeling, I feel like I want to shut her up. When she's around you, I feel like I want to lock her up somewhere so she won't linger around you." Yibo wrinkled. Zhan looked down.

"Xiao Zhan."

"You might hate me after I'm telling this. But I need to tell you, so I can still keep my sanity. I'm almost becoming crazy because I didn't tell you." Zhan took a breath and looked up to Yibo. Yibo blinked few times, staring back at Zhan. His heart quickened because he had a feeling that he knew what Zhan wanted to say but the other kept beating around the bushes making him anxious. He was worried that he held up his hope for nothing in the end. But-

"I like you, Yibo. Wang Yibo, I love you."

"Darling, darling. Get up or we will be late." Yibo whimpered as he heard someone called him. He slowly opened his eyes. A familiar face became his focus, a smile was given. "Are you awake?"

"Zixuan." Zixuan smiled wider.

"Great you're awake. You're mumbling in your dream. I think you had a nightmare." Zixuan got up from the bed. Yibo sat up and looked around. His room. "Get up now, darling. You will be late if you didn't go and wash up now." Zixuan said while tidying the bed. She's already bathed from what Yibo sees. Yibo nodded and got up, totally took off his mind from the dream just now. That damned confession. He hated any dream related to him that he kept dreaming it over and over again. Even though it wasn't frequent and since he gets married he rarely dreamt about him, he still totally hated it. He knew it must be because of the yesterday's encounter making him dreaming him again.

Yibo quickly turned on the shower and cooled his head. He tried to forget that again. Yibo knew he will meet that guy again because of the project. He went to ask Mr. Li to use another producer for that project yesterday but Mr. Li refused his wish because of his hit-maker status also Yibo had no valid reason to refuse the project. In the end, he had to work with that guy by hook or by crook.

"Darling, quickly finish your shower. We have 10 minutes before the traffic jam." Zixuan called.

"Okay, I will be out soon." Yibo answered. He turned off the shower and took the towel. Getting covered, he walked out the bathroom and went to the wardrobe. He took out the shirt that Zixuan already prepared for him. Yibo got ready in just five minutes and went downstairs. Zixuan was in the living room, waiting. "Should we go now?" Zixuan nodded.
