Zhan wasn't one who runs away from his problems but upon seeing Yibo outside his classroom, running away was exactly what he wanted to do. Yibo was leaning on the wall, surrounded by girls who were chattering loudly trying to get his attention. They seem oblivious of the uncomfortable look on the tall boys' face as they continued to invade his space.

"Yibo, are waiting for someone?"

"Yibo, are waiting for someone?"

"You look so handsome today."

"Are you dating someone?"

"Zhan Ge!" Yibo called out, his voice sounding over the girls chatters, his tone menacing when he saw  Zhan's retreating figure.

The girls parted when Yibo approached the older boy who stood frozen on the middle of the hallway, back turned towards the excited crowd. Yibo walked slowly and confidently, like a hunter approaching his prey but before he could get nearer, the stunned Zhan seemed to fly as he used his long legs to ran away. Yibo caught unawares could only stare at the male who ran so fast, that he was already halfway near the entrance of the school. 

"Zhan Ge is so cute. I'll catch you next time, bunny!" Yibo mumbled, a soft smile permeating his handsome face before walking the opposite direction.

Yibo found himself infront of a  three storey Resto Bar, the upbeat music seeped through the small crack of the door. He entered the spacious resto and was welcomed by the  sound of the band performing in the small stage at a corner and the soft murmurs of the costumers. A lithe, beautiful lady, in her early 20's immediately approached Yibo ,a smile brightening her face.

"Yibo, Yubin said that you won't be joining them today,"the lady strained to raise her voice a little.

"Ah yes,Ziyi Jie. Change of plans. The bunny ran away, so I came here," Yibo answered back, his lips forming a soft curve.

Meng Ziyi, the owner of the Restobar and the older sister of Yibo's bestfriend,  looked at him weirdly. There was something different about Yibo today but she couldn't figure out what it was. She considers Yibo as a younger sibling ever since Yibo saved Yubin from the bullies, she would always be thankful towards him and seeing Yibo with an unusually bright aura, she couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.

"Hey Jie, why are you looking at me like that?" Yibo frowned upon seeing the misty-eyed Ziyi.

"Eh, nothing. Come Yubin and the others are at the second floor," Ziyi cleared her throat and gestured for Yibo to follow.

The Restobar is divided into two parts. On the first floor is the wine bar and on the second floor is a restaurant that also serves as a coffee shop. Ziyi and Yibo navigated towards the stairs leading to the second floor. Since it was already eight in the evening, the restaurant is already packed with different groups of people, varying from lovers, office workers, students and families. Ziyi brought Yibo to one of the private rooms where Yubin and the others were eating. The shouts and laughter of the occupants of the room was heard when the door was opened, the seven or so people looked at the newcomers their actions on pause.
