Black ~ A ¥iZhan Lov€ $tory

ar°a

In silence I love you,
My passion ignites in darkness,
Feel my heartbeat darling,
Every second in this blackness.

Xiao Zhan's POV:

"We'll be boarding our flight soon" taking a seat next to me Bo Di informs as Fairy lays next to my feet. "Excited?" He enquires and I grin. "With you by my side, definitely. Feels like getting to know you all again." I drape my arms around him and kiss the side of his head.

It was few weeks after his birthday where he took his exams and once he was done, as promised we were now flying down to China. Fairy is with me as she is my service dog, so bringing her along was not a problem for me. I was glad that she was by my side too. Where if Bo Di was unavailable then she'd be my company and keep me safe.

Hearing a squeaky noise of what it seemed like a toddlers shoe, I turn my head when the noise was closer to me. The next moment a hand grabs my knee and we hear a cute squeal "Doggy!"

A... Kid?

We hear her squeal again "Doggy!" Her grip on my knee tightens by a fraction and Bo Di whispers "Such a cute kid."

"What is she doing?" I enquire softly and he answers "She is squatting next to you. She wants to play with Fairy."

"Place her on your lap. That way Fairy would be comfortable to play with her too. He's a service dog. They're not accustomed to people and especially kids playing with them." He complies with my request and once she is comfortable, I command Fairy to be gentle and patient with her.

Soon the air around us resonates with her sweet giggles and chuckles. I wonder where her parents are? Just as I was to point out my concern we hear a frantic voice of her mother "Sophia!" She breathes out "joesonghamnida* everytime she sees an animal she runs away! So sorry." Smiling at the frantic mother I try to soothe her concern "Please don't apologise. She seems like a sweet child." It was then that her mother realised about my disability.

I could hear Bo Di cooing and a minute later he hands over Sophia back to her mother. Fairy was by my leg and her nose nudged my ankle. Yes dear Fairy I am aware that you aren't comfortable around kids.

We could hear the cranky cry of Sophia as her mother took the toddler away from us. With a sigh, Bo Di places his head on my shoulder and I tease him "Never knew you love kids."

"I do" with a pause he kisses my lower jaw "only when they're someone else's." I laugh at his comment and soon an announcement was made for us to board. Having our seats in first-class made it easy for me to access the seats and Fairy had good amount of space to rest too.

This was just the beginning of our amazing  innumerable journey for our future together.

"Zhan" MaMa takes me into her warm embrace and pats my backs with affection "you're home."

Home.

This word made my heart flutter. Bo Di's home. My home.

"Welcome home, son." BaBa was next in line to greet me with a pat of my back "we missed you both so much." He was hugging both Bo Di and me together.

"It's good to be back home, BaBa" Bo Di whispers and I could detect longingness for his motherland and family.

His parents had arrived at the airport to greet us and escort us back home. This was really sweet of them. Guiding us towards their car, Fairy was resting on my lap and I was contented to hear Bo Di interacting with his parents. MaMa and BaBa were far more quieter than mine. Well thank the universe for that. I don't think Bo Di nor my soul could bear another set of parents talking about their bedroom shenanigans.

"Zhan, as we still have time for lunch, what would you prefer some traditional Chinese cuisine or Korean?" MaMa enquires and I grin "Bo Di has often praised your cooking so definitely looking forward to some traditional Chinese cuisine."

"Done" I could hear her happiness and the very next second Bo Di places his warm palm on mine and squeezes them softly. He was thanking me. This made me calm. With him by my side, I can do this.

I knew Bo Di's family is rich but the man beside me is one of the most humble souls I have ever known. He's often more frugal than me and that's what made my soul seek his. Upon reaching their mansion, MaMa and BaBa made me feel that this was definitely my house too. Knowing that to feel safe, it takes me time to get accustomed to a new place, it was MaMa who suggested "Bo, why don't you show Zhan around and I'll call you both once lunch is ready?"

"Hǎo de* MaMa" Bo Di's voice was filled with affection as he takes my hand in his. Fairy dutifully follows me around and slowly I feel my way around his place. It takes me about an hour to remember the entire layout of Bo Di's house and by now both Fairy and I were exhausted. BaBa was kind enough to take Fairy with him to let her rest.

"This is my childhood bedroom and I have never brought anyone here. You're my only lover to enter my bedroom and from now on" with a kiss to my lips he continues "this is ours now."

"I can feel your urgency. You want to play?" I tease and he bites my lower lip "Yes please."

"We don't have much time but" I pull his hand and he instantly guides me towards his bed. Pushing him softly, I join him and soon we were on eachother. Kissing. Biting. Tugging. Just as our kisses were becoming full serious makeout sessions, there was a knock on the door "Kids" it was MaMa "lunch is ready." We hear her retreating footsteps and I grin. "If that was my Dad, he would have made sure to comment something embarrassing." That makes us both laugh.

Leaving our cocoon behind we join MaMa and BaBa.

joesonghamnida : I am sorry in Korean.

Hǎo de : Alright in Chinese.

(I know this is a short chapter but my broken toe was causing me pain today. Knowing how much you guys missed this book, I thought let me give you a quick update.)
