Despite massive efforts to conceal Yibo's state to the world, the news leaked for some reason, and paps and fans flocked around the hospital. Each day became difficult for Zhan and Hai Kuan to come in and out of the hospital discreetly without catching the media's attention and an unsettling matter even emerged when one desperate fan disguised as a nurse entered Yibo's room and took the idol's photo.
She was caught nevertheless and has been sent straight to jail, but the damage has been done and Yibo's current state was leaked to the public, causing mayhem to the fans who try to extort detailed informations about their beloved idol's health.
With the unwanted pressure from the crazy fans and reporters, and the disturbance it was causing to the hospital and its patients, the attending doctor finally agreed with Hai Kuan's request to bring his brother back home.
He had made arrangements, altering Yibo's room to accommodate the monitors and hospital equipments, and hiring private doctor and nurses, pledging oath of secrecy, so Yibo can still attain the best quality of care at the luxury of their family home.
It has been almost a week since the incident, Yibo with his immaculate ethereal face seems to only has been sleeping peacefully the whole time. There are no more ventilators needed to support his breathing. And the drips of fluids where down to two, one for his nutrition and one for his hydration.
The doctor's last words lingered in Zhan's mind, 'It seems the patient himself is refusing to open his eyes. We didn't see any abnormalities on all the tests we have done. Even the MRI scan shows no damage in any of his organs and his EEG shows a healthy active brain activity.'
The good doctor can only encourage him. 'I suggest you to continue talking to him and encourage him to live on.'
"We're home. Please come back to us, Yibo." Zhan whispered, peppering a gentle peck on Yibo's forehead when they've settled Yibo to his bed.
Hai Kuan was on his back, watching how his friend endearingly expressed his love to his brother. He had seen how Zhan stayed at Yibo's side the whole process of his recuperation. The unspeakable reluctance in his eyes whenever he has to leave Yibo's side to go to work, exhausting efforts to salvage the Wang Empire with the limited time left on their hands. And at the end of the day's work, Zhan will ran back to Yibo's side, talking to the unresponsive man, humming and telling him stories, hoping Yibo is listening to his voice. When exhaustion takes over, he will fall asleep on his side, holding Yibo's hand with one hand, while his other hand is at the top of Yibo's heart, feeling the faint heart beats which reassures him that Yibo is still fighting to live on.
Zhan selflessly give all of him to Yibo. He just always stayed and cared for him.
He made Yibo his world, and he kept it that way.
That is the power of love.
Deep.
Pure.
Earnest and doting.
Hai Kuan had seen it hundreds of years ago, how Lan Zhan waited 16 years and hope for Wei Ying's return. And when he did return, Lan Zhan sticked to Wei Ying's side against all odds.
A faint smile graces Hai Kuan's lips. He gave a light pat on Zhan's shoulder, "He'll come back to us. Yibo is strong willed, he won't make us wait too long."
