"I've waited for fate to rewrite our story.
And now you're here, in flesh and in reality, my Yibo."
Zhan's heart swell with the sight of the man he was desperate to meet again. Yet, did time warp and bring him back to the past, when love was at its...
Heart involuntarily beating loudly in his chest, Zhan set all of his yearning free as a figure became visible in his vision. Yibo's newly dyed blue mane, striking and breathtakingly hot, earned roar and spur of the moment love confessions from his avid fans.
The sight appease Zhan's longing, yet the one-arm span away distance between his VIP seat and the centre stage, still felt too far.
Wang Yibo, now a famous celebrity, has been stealing millions of hearts across Asia from the first day of his entertainment debut 6 years ago in South Korea. Being the Maknae, lead dancer and visual of their group, UNIQ, earned him ginormous fanbase in just a snap of his delicate fingers. Luckily for Zhan, 3 years ago, the group began promoting in China as well, which gave him an opportunity to be close to Yibo in secrecy.
Zhan remained a hidden figure who silently supported and love him in the background. Through his PR company's dealings with Yibo's handler Yuehua Entertainment, Zhan was able to help promoting and bursting UNIQ's popularity. He was a huge part of their success, planning their advertisements and commercials, deciding their comeback themes, even personally designing their album covers and funding some of their productions.
Only for one thing, to make Yibo achieve his dreams.
Stupid and coward Zhan was all throughout these years, could he just let himself be know again to the man, show himself and say, 'Hi.', 'I miss you.', 'I love you.'?
How he wanted to rekindle the relationship they once had and relinquish the sting of loneliness he feels whenever Yibo shows his heart melting smiles for random people which is not him.
But Zhan knew the dynamics of nature. As they both parted ways and decided to focus on the future, they have to leave the past behind. What they once have are nothing but just memories: memories that Zhan still treasures, while Yibo might already have forgotten.
It is painful to think like that.
But Zhan's love was still greater than that sad pain. He is contented to know he had a part in bringing back Yibo's smiles...of letting him achieve his dreams...of freeing him of the past he had been running from.
Zhan let himself be satisfied seeing Yibo's cute side in front of the camera, to know that he could be chatty and teasing at times, to see that he had now learned to open up his true self to others and laugh freely without care.
Zhan also feels proud that Yibo does well in his field, earning acknowledgement even from veterans of the industry. But let's not forget the youngster's exemplary and flawless dance moves, which just take anyone's breath away.
Zhan is so whipped, he can sing endless praises of what Yibo had achieved and become.
Nearing the end of the concert though, an announcement was made. People gasped in excitement, some cheered, while others booed in hatred as another kpop/cpop female star named Cheng Xiao was announced to be performing and sharing a smokin'-hot dance with the crowds' favourite, Wang Yibo.
Zhan could not explain the bitter bile on his throat. The upsurging bitterness and anger making his skin crawl.
The whole 3 minutes was agony. The touch, the stares, the closeness they've shared was all just too much for Zhan's feeble jealous heart.
When the music stopped while Yibo and Cheng Xiao's stance is only a breath away, hands looped in each other's torso and eyes drawn at each other, Zhan felt wrath, he wanted to scream and jump on the stage and pull them apart.
And he regretted he did not do that. Cheng Xiao suddenly pulled Yibo's face towards her and crushed her lips into his.
Zhan felt betrayed without the right to feel that way. He felt completely blindsided of the reality that maybe the rumor between the two was real, that they're in a relationship. The perfect match everyone was talking about.
The crowd gaped at the act of the two artists, while some murmurs in denial that it might just be a stage act or that Yibo was just compelled to let the kiss linger.
But Zhan knew better. His team was a part of the planning committee of this concert tour, and that kiss wasn't brought up in any part of their plan.
Eyes stinging to shed tears, Zhan pulled himself together before ending up making a scene. He clumsily fled the spot with his bleeding and crushed heart.
He was too broken to even have the guts to have another look and see Yibo's reaction. If he had the balls to pull away or maybe he had been carried away with the kiss.
'He might've liked it!' Zhan cursed in between his gritted teeth and trembling jaw.
Unknown to him, his tall figure and unforgettable stature caught someone's vision. Doubting and in shock, that person stared at Zhan's retreating form, unspoken thoughts flooding his mind.
