His Race (YiZhan Fanfiction)

Chapter 24: Cool Off

I was awakened by a hand touching my face.

I slowly opened my eyes. I smiled upon seeing his face.

"Good morning Zhan ge." He greeted me and kissed me on my forehead.

"Hm, morning." I greeted back.

Just then my stomach suddenly growled that made him chuckle.

"Come on, let's eat. I've already prepared our breakfast." He said and held my hand to help me stand up. Then we went to the dining.

He gave me a cup of coffee when we arrived and I sat across him.

Then we started eating.

"You drank last night?" He asked in the middle of eating.

"No, it was yesterday noon. I drank with my former co-professors." I answered as I muffled food in my mouth.

"You didn't tell me you went drinking." He said. My blood suddenly boiled at what he said. As if telling me that I should always tell him where I go. Wtf? He didn't even contact me yesterday. I've been waiting for his call or even just a message.

I clenched on my spoon tightly. Keep calm, Xiao Zhan.

"You didn't call either or text," I answered as I keep my voice calm.

"I was busy." He said with a hint of coldness of his voice. What was that?!

I didn't answer anymore. I might blow out of my anger if I speak any further.

It was deafening silence between us.

Just then he spoke, "By the way, I have a practice today. I have another competition in three months." He said.

My brows met, "Aren't they making you work so much?" I asked.

He shook his head, "I accepted it." He answered.

"What?! You just accepted it without asking me or telling me?!" I exclaimed I can't control my emotions anymore.

"You're not my manager anymore." He said. How can he be so calm in time like this? How can he be so numb?!

"BUT I'M YOUR LOVER FOR PETE'S SAKE!" I bang the spoon on the table. He didn't even budge and continued eating. WHAT THE FUCK?!

"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?! WE HAVEN'T HAVE TIME TOGETHER ANYMORE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE APPOINTMENTS AND YOU GO HOME LATE!!" Now I'm fuming with anger. My heart is squeezing tight at what he is showing me. He doesn't care anymore. Now he's giving me cold shoulder, just how the fck he changes drastically from being sweet this morning and then this fcking asshole in front of me?

He never replied, my mouth is trembling. He continued eating, not even looking at me.

I stared at him in disbelief, so that's how it is?

He finished eating and stood up.

What?! so he's really leaving for his practice?

I grabbed his arm and faced him to me.

"WHAT THE FUCK YIBO?! ARE YOU REALLY LEAVING?" I asked with anger.

"I TOLD YOU I HAVE PRACTICE! I THOUGHT YOU ARE READY TO SUPPORT ME WHATEVER I WANT? WHAT'S WITH THAT ASKING OF ATTENTION?" he raised his voice at me. Now I am shocked. Did he just raise his voice at me?

my vision became blurry all of a sudden. my heart is clenching in pain.

I let go of his arm and slump on the floor. I looked down. It hurts.

"I will stay in a hotel until you manage that attitude of yours. Think carefully. I'll be going on my practice." He said sternly and leave me alone again.

Now my tears are falling nonstop. Just, what was that?! How did everything change? We were just happy a few days ago, then how did it come to this?

I looked around the house. It's so spacious that it feels suffocating.

I stood up from my feet. I don't want to stay here after hearing what he said. If I stay here, his voice will just echo in my mind.

I walked heavily into our bedroom, I grabbed a bag and put some of my clothes. I will stay at the house for a while.

I wiped my tears as I finish packing. I grabbed my phone and stare at it. Hoping that Yibo will call and apologize if he does that I will let my pride down. But I think he won't do that. It's useless on expecting things that will never happen.

I wrote a note for Yibo and leave it on the dining table, whenever he decided to go home and see this, he knows where I am.

I sighed as a tear fell from my eyes.

.

I arrived at the gate of our house, I immediately wipe my tears, I don't like mom seeing me like this.

I heave a deep breath and sighed heavily as I open the gate. When I'm at the door I rang the bell.

It immediately opened. Mom gasped upon seeing me.

I forced a smile at her.

"Son, why are you here?" She asked and hugged me tightly.

"I just miss you, mom," I said and hugged her back.

"I miss you too, A'Zhan. But why the big bag?" She asked and look at the bag I'm holding.

"I'll stay here for a while mom. Yibo has a practice and he's not going home for a while because of his busy schedules. It feels so lonely when he's not there." I lied and chuckled. Convincing mom with my tone that everything is fine.

"Oh, is that so? Come in then." She said and grabbed my hand to go inside.

"Have you eaten?" She asked when we entered.

"I'm still full, mom. I'll go upstairs." I said and kissed her cheeks.

"Okay then, you must be tired. Rest well son." She said and smiled at me. I smiled back and went to my room.

I put down my bag and locked the door.

I slumped on my bed and hugged my knees.

My tears started to fall again. I covered my face with a pillow and sobbed with my hearts content.

I cried as what Yibo said this morning is echoing in my head. Just what the fck is happening?
