"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...
Talu's offer was totally off the table. He was Zhan's senior in Uni. A friend who later fell for him but he had rejected politely. They parted in good terms though never meeting again until that night in the club.
Zhan knew they we're just foolishly teasing each other without malice or any ulterior motive that night. Like two normal friends drinking while laughing. So what was Zhan thinking when he clung to Talu's arm when Yibo arrived? He even dragged the innocent man to make Yibo jealous, and what did he get in the end?
First was guilt for hurting Yibo. Then jealousy when Seungyoun came and left with his beloved. Then comes hatred towards himself. In the end, he was the mastermind behind getting his own heart splintered to thousands of pieces.
And now what? The already cold man became even colder than ice itself!
Zhan longingly stared at Yibo's serious face in front of him. He was just there but he couldn't reach him.
When he greeted him good morning, Yibo just hummed in response without lifting his eyes to look at him.
"Do you want to have some breakfast?" Zhan asked earlier and Yibo simply regarded him before continuing to flip the files on his desk.
When lunch came, Zhan attempted another interaction, flashing his bunny smile and doe eyes, but all he received was a cold stare before Yibo brushed him off and left with the smirking Hao Xuan who boldly slung his arm on Yibo's broad shoulder.
"Arghhh!" Zhan pulled his hair in annoyance. He was regretting being drunk and shamelessly accusing Yibo with contemptuous words. How he wanted to cut his own tongue when Ziyi helped him clear his sourness issue regarding Wang Zi Xuan, who is actually the daughter of one of the company's investors of whom Yibo purposely meet during that lunch scandal.
Zhan feels so stupid to even think of giving up on his soulmate just because of a misunderstanding!
The sleepless nights have had him contemplate thoroughly about his insensitive actions and its consequences.
"I deserve this!" Zhan bitterly smiled. "But he is being too much." He pouted with his blurry eyes, slumping back to his chair and continuing his work despite his growling stomach. He had lost appetite for the first time in his life that day.
Several days passed just like that. Whatever tactic Zhan tried to get Yibo to talk to him always end up with either a single word response, a hum, or Hao Xuan intervening.
On the end of the week, Zhan sent the usual bouquet of flowers he gives Yibo during their concerts and fan meetings. The biggest, freshest mix of flowers with his signature personal art sketch in its small card.
He had drawn a cube of ice with a frozen heart inside and a smiling sun on the top which is slowly melting the ice.
Through this, he wants to fully step out of his shadow of being Yibo's secret admirer and show that he had always been there for him and that he will always care for the younger even in the future.
Zhan discreetly watched Yibo's reaction when the secretary handed him the package. He could sense a small surprise in Yibo's face as he took out the card and realized his secret admirer has known his current whereabouts. Zhan pressed his lips to shroud his smile and automatically looked down and hide his face as he senses Yibo was about to glance his way.
Looking away, he did not see the minute softness in Yibo's eyes as he stared at the card. But that expression was gone in a blink of an eye.
Yibo then looked at Hao Xuan and asked, "Do you like flowers?"
The surprised Hao Xuan was taken aback and instantly blurted, "Me?! Are you crazy?!"
Yibo lifted his eyebrows and then impassively stared at his secretary. "How about you?"
The young secretary stuttered and blushed, looking down on her feet, as it was the first time her gorgeous employer had addressed her. "I-I think i-it's lovely."
"Then you can have it." Yibo flatly offered, giving another swift look on Zhan's side and saw him loose grip on his pen and disappointedly frown.
It has now been a week and Yibo's cold treatment is making Zhan's hope wither away.
Desperate, he followed Yibo in the office' VIP parking lot, wanting to face him head on and end the cold war.
"Yibo!" He called him, but Yibo pretended not to hear him as usual.
"Mr. Wang!" Zhan's voice broke but still got no response from the younger.
"WANG YIBO!" He screamed when Yibo kept disregarding him and hopped on his motor bike and put his helmet on.
"Bo-di?" He sniffled running to the front of Yibo's motorcycle and halting the younger's attempt to leave. "Bo-di, can you forgive Gege? Gege is really sorry. He is stupid and reckless. He really didn't mean to do and say tho..."
"Forget it." Yibo replied in an austere manner like he doesn't care about what happened or what Zhan is feeling. His eyes were dim and his gaze was piercing and frosty like the winter snow. At once, he reversed his motorcycle and left Zhan broken and dazed, falling on his knees as his shaking body cried from Yibo's outright rejection.
--------- Author's Note:
Yeah poor Zhan-Zhan. Do you think he really deserve such cold treatment from his baby lion?
What is Yibo's frigg*n' problem?! There is. It has broken him and will break him more. Revelations next?
Spoiler: Yibo will slowly disappear from Zhan's life. Why??? What?!! How??? Stay tuned!
