-10- A beautiful secret
Zhan and Yibo spent the weekend together and thus they became closer. However, they agreed to keep their feelings for each other a secret to the others. Like a beautiful secret.
On Monday morning when Zhan came to work, Yibo was already waiting for him outside his office. When Zhan just came in through the Group 2 door, Yibo called him into his office. Zhan went through the door, Yibo closed it behind him, turned around to Zhan, put both hands on Zhan's cheeks and kissed him. "I've missed you." He whispered.
" We just said goodbye 12 hours ago." Zhan replied with a grin.
"Yes, a full 12 hours. That was way too long." Reply to Yibo and kiss Zhan again.
But the phone interrupted them again quite quickly and brought them back to reality. The reality in which they are just the supervisor and his employee and have to work.
Still, Zhan felt like a secret agent who has to protect his secret at all costs. And even though he tried, his colleagues noticed his change pretty quickly. Maybe it was because he was humming softly at work or grinning all the time.
Or maybe it was his red cheeks that seemed to get even redder every time Yibo came near him.
Though the two of them did their best the whole week long, not to be discovered, the watchful eyes of their colleagues did not miss this. And so Zhan wasn't really surprised when one of his colleagues asked him how long he and Yibo had been a couple. Actually, Zhan didn't want to say anything and deny everything, but that was easier in theory than in practice.
"We're not really together yet. We're dating." Answered Zhan the question from his colleague, who told him she'd seen that Yibo pulled Zhan into the storage room and kissed him.
"I guess it won't be long before you two are a couple. After all, you're already acting like one." She explained.
"That would be nice."
"Then what are you doing with your work? From what I understand, you'd have to change areas, because he's our supervisor, not just a colleague."
"I don't know. To be honest, we don't want to announce it. We don't even know if there's a future in this."
"Oh come on Zhan. You two are in love and you can't hide it. And I think I know you well enough to know that you're serious about him."
"Give us a little time first, and then we'll see." Zhan replied, before taking one of the residents in the wheelchair out for a walk.
Yes, Zhan is very serious about this. But it was still far too early for him to make any plans for the future. After only 5 days, Zhan could not say anything more. Maybe something would come up this weekend. Because already tomorrow morning Zhan and Yibo will leave for the team excursion and spend the whole weekend together.
And since the management, who planned and booked this weekend, has booked a double room for him and Yibo, the two are guaranteed to spend the weekend together.
Zhan was even a little nervous. Normally he didn't like the team excursions, because the two seminars, which are over 4 hours each on Friday and Saturday, were often boring and dragged on forever. But maybe this time it would be different if someone suffered with him.
On Friday morning Yibo picked Zhan up from home at 7 am. They wanted to leave as early as possible to have some time before the seminar started. But instead of the two and a half hour drive, they had a four hour drive. Because of the school holidays, many families were on vacation and so they were stuck in traffic jams several times.
When they finally arrived at the hotel, which is actually a holiday resort, they had just enough time to unpack their suitcases and quickly eat something in the hotel's own restaurant. The colleagues even arrived so late that they had to go straight from the parking place with their suitcases into the seminar room.
Four hours of monotonous talk about terminal care, new care methods and information about Active Everyday Care were behind Zhan and Yibo when they finally completed the first of two seminars.
Yibo and Zhan decided that they would not go to the hotel's overcrowded swimming pool like the others and instead go to the beach and sea. They went to their room, put on their swimwear and then headed for the beach. Where they lay in the sun most of the time and went for a swim every now and then.
Since the beach was also quite crowded, the two of them behaved mostly like friends. Only now and then, when they dived their heads under water, they exchanged one or the other kiss.
For dinner the two had gone back to the hotel. Together with their colleagues they sat at a big table in the restaurant and ate together. They decided to celebrate their first evening together at the bar. Zhan could see how unhappy Yibo was about this, because Yibo wanted to spend the evening alone with Zhan. But neither of them said anything, because they would not have known what to say either.
From the restaurant, they all went directly to the bar of the hotel, where they were lucky to get a big free table. They sat together in a funny round, played drinking games, and talked almost incessantly about work. Only Zhan and Yibo held back with the alcohol. Zhan did not want to get drunk and Yibo did not have a high alcohol tolerance, as he told Zhan a few days ago.
But not only Yibo doesn't seem to tolerate alcohol very well, because already shortly before 10 pm, the first two female colleagues broke down. Zhan and Yibo had to take them to their rooms. Only one hour later the next three colleagues said goodbye. And only at 1 am the last colleague was brought to her room by Zhan and Yibo.
They both thought about whether they should go to their room now or to the pool again, which was empty now. They decided for the latter after a hotel employee told them that they could use the indoor pool. They put on their swimwear once more and then went downstairs to the indoor pool in their bathrobes.
Yibo swam a few laps while Zhan sat down on the stairs leading into the pool. He was up to his upper body in the water and watched Yibo swim. And despite the dim light above them, Zhan could see Yibo's body thanks to the lighting in the pool itself. He enjoyed the sight of the abs and envied them a little as he had none himself.
But much more than envy, he felt an urge in his fingers to touch the abs of Yibo. Already on the beach he noticed that he found Yibo not only handsome to look at but also very sexy. Which for Zhan was a whole new way of thinking. He had never felt such an urge to get close to someone as he did with Yibo.
When Yibo had obviously swum enough, he came to Zhan and sat down next to him. Zhan pulled a strand of hair from his face and smiled. Just looking at him was enough to make his heart beat faster. Just the thought of those full lips of Yibo touching his, made him feel a tingling sensation in his tummy.
In order not to stare at Yibo all the time, Zhan lay down on the back of the stairs and looked up at the ceiling in the hall. Yibo bent over him and looked him straight in the eyes. "I like it better when you look at me." Whispered Yibo and smiled.
Zhan was glad the lighting was not enough for Yibo to see his cheeks turn red. But Yibo probably wouldn't even have seen it himself because the very next moment, he was kissing Zhan. He put his arms around Zhan's body and stroked his back while kissing him passionately.
In order not to be caught kissing by any other guests or the hotel staff after all, the two decided to go back upstairs to their room.
