Zhan's lids trembled hearing sets of poetic music notes. The sweet melody makes his entire being relaxed, while the rhythmic vibrations makes his heart warm. He couldn't put his finger into it, but something in that tune draws his attention and connects him into something he couldn't understand.
Consciousness returning, Zhan started smelling the scent of Sandalwood infused in the music beats of great subtlety and refinement. He flung his eyelids open and was surprised to see a wooden ceiling of ancient nature. He roamed his vision around, taking in the unfamiliar environment with repressed breaths, until his eyes landed on a silhouette of someone in pure white sitting on the corner with his zither.
Confused and wondering, Zhan tried to sit up but suddenly felt a dull pain spiking in intensity, agonizingly torturing his whole body, making him groan.
His whimper made the man playing the guqin stop his activity and instantly glided to Zhan's side. His movements were swift yet like a dance of elegance, and Zhan can't help but gawk and watch this unearthly beauty in pure white robes.
The figure sat on the egde of Zhan's bed, sitting so close that Zhan was left in a trance, coming face to face with a pretty face so incomparable and enchanting.
'My Yibo.' Zhan's mind screamed. 'My angel.'
Zhan realized by now that he must have been dreaming. 'It is weird', he thought, 'a setting in an old era.' He took guesses of this maybe a couple of centuries ago or maybe more.
Yibo wearing a traditional robe of pure white and a forehead ribbon with cloud patterns, Zhan can't help but stare at his vivid image inside this dream.
'I must have been too desperate to see him to dream of such a scenario!' Zhan internally thought.
He was busy with his internal monologue and studying Yibo's features in this old era, when Yibo's slender fingers gently touched him. Without warning, he opened Zhan's robe as white as his own making Zhan blush in embarassment.
'Dreams are unconscious desire.' Zhan wants to facepalm himself, he didn't know he was this desirous of Yibo's touch and attention.
But then he suddenly gasped when he saw a bandage on his stomach, not recalling anything which will cause him such tragedy.
Yibo on the other hand, did not stop invading Zhan's personal space. He then lifted Zhan's left arm and gently pushed his sleeves up and to Zhan's fright, there was a deep cut half a ruler in length on his limb.
Zhan pulled his sleeves back down upon seeing Yibo's now downcasted eyes. His light irises depicted sadness and his brows furrowed in a frown of worry. Heart wretching with the sight, Zhan whispered, "I'm alright."
Yibo's lids blinked at him twice, staring intently in between, studying Zhan's face of his obvious lie. Wordlessly, Yibo slightly bobbed up his head with pursed lips, a gesture of surrendering while his eyes are making another soul drowning stare to Zhan's dark ones.
Zhan felt like he was melting on those intense gaze. How long had he wanted to stare at him this close, see every detail of every inch of his beloved, see his own and only reflection on those beautiful golden orbs.
The two shared a long silence while holding themselves spellbound within the eyes of each other.
Zhan only blinked once and there now is a sword placed in front of him. "Suibian. Your sword." Yibo's deep voice said.
Hypnotized by that low tone, Zhan obeyed without any questions. He grabbed the hilt and his brain instantly throbbed painfully as gushes of memories came flooding without warning and mercy.
His eyes stinged and his heart ached with all the visions which swiftly passed by his consciousness. With hitching breaths his eyes traced its way back to meet Yibo's gaze.
"Lan Zhan." Zhan cried as he now remembered the man's name in that lifetime. "My soulmate. The one I fancy, desire, and love with every bit of my existence." He unashamedfully declared, letting tears flow on his now scarlet cheeks.
"Wei Ying." Lan Zhan replied, a small smile creeping its way on his beautiful rosy lips as he tenderly caressed Zhan's face, erasing the river of tears soaking the other's handsome face.
Zhan lost all sense from everything and let himself be pampered with that warmth from his Lan Zhan. "I love you." he uttered pressing his lips on Lan Zhan's smooth palm.
He saw Lan Zhan's mouth uttering something in return, but what Zhan heard was an annoying beeping sound of an alarm and everything in that dreamland started fading away.
"Lan Zhaaaan!" He screamed in desperation but wasn't able to hold on to anything.
Zhan's mind was blown and his heart was pacing fast along his panting breaths. He wanted to stay in that dreamland forever, only his phone didn't agree, blaring mercilessly unkind.
But his mood suddenly brightened up again smelling the familiar Sandalwood and waking up in yet another unfamiliar abode. This time it was a modern house of dark colours with some touches of dark green.
He thought it was a double dream and he could find Lan Zhan or Yibo again somewhere around, so he excitedly roamed his head but only found his beeping phone. He begrudgingly slid the screen to stop its pestering alarm and his curiousity was touched yet again when he noticed a note placed under his phone stating,
No need for 'Sorry' and 'Thank You'.
No worries.
Emerald Penthouse Owner
Horrified and flustered, Zhan took another look on his surrounding realising he was at someone else's house!
"Cr*p! I live in Diamond Penthouse! Not here!"
Springing to his feet, he yanked his fringes jabbing his mind. He dimly recalled the man in pure black outfit, the Sandalwood scent and him collapsing on the poor guy after disturbing his rest on a wee hour!
Scarlet hue flushed on his whole face, Zhan wrote a Sorry note and Thank You note despite the owner saying no need to. He was indebted to the man and he will make sure to repay his hospitality someday!
Finding noone on that massive home, Zhan collected his belongings and ran to his own house.
Slamming the door behind, Zhan rested his head backwards on the door, recollecting in crisp and perfect memory, the dream he had just had.
"It felt so real." Zhan placed his palm on his chest and felt his heart pulsating weirdly and uncontrollably fast.
Unknown to him, that dream is just the start of fate interfering in their lives...and how it will show how his and Yibo's connection is but a Fated Encounter, bonded by an invisible thread.
