" I don't know how to act around him Paul " Zhan who was talking over the phone with Paul was telling him about Yibo and all the incident that happened in his shop the other day, Paul who listened to him silently had no other go then snicker a laugh as Zhan had a cute little whiny voice when he complained. " What do you want me do ? " asked Paul holding in his laughter.


Zhan chuckled " I don't know how long I have to pretend to not know him at all, every time he comes near me I'm afraid my feelings would show up and I would do the silly task of maybe kissing him " Paul smiled at the other end " Then do it, make him rush those memory back to his head with your kiss " Zhan was conflicted " But... " Paul smiled " Zhan~ Listen to me, love is something which can't be stopped, if you love him, then show it, maybe act as him being someone new, like act as though you're meeting Yibo for the first and you can fall in love with him all over again "


Zhan nodded " What you say is right! But remember how the straight Yibo turned out to be bisexual? You know the whole story behind it, if he forgot his memories, I doubt if he still be able to fall for men" Paul nodded and hummed at the possibility " But then again you can try, just be yourself, I've got to go now, I'll call you later, Oh and Advance Merry Christmas " Zhan smiled " Advance Merry Christmas to you as well Paul "


After ending the call with Paul, Zhan smiled at the thoughts of Christmas, the festival was something the always had looked forward to every year, not just because it was holiday, but also was their anniversary, Zhan laid on the couch with that thought. As he smiled in the thought so of Yibo.

" Zhan ! " Yibo called over Zhan who was currently avoiding him after the whole fiasco of Yibo's girlfriend and the school bully Zhou Yifei letting out the secret that Zhan was gay.  Zhan who just ran away from Yibo didn't want to talk to him, he actually had no idea what to say to him after the whole incident happened. Yifei held Yibo's hand preventing him to going to Zhan, she dragged him away so that he wouldn't run after him, Yibo was conflicted whether to let her hand go and run chasing Zhan or just go along with Yifei and letting Zhan cool down a bit, before he could talk to him again.


Yibo took his hands away from Yifei, she looked at him surprised " Yifei, I'm feeling a bit tired, I'm going home " Yifei nodded but before he could go she blocked him " You are going to home right ? " Yibo nodded as he knew what she meant, she was making sure he was going home and not to run behind Zhan, she stood aside while Yibo went home.


Yibo was honestly really tired, though it was only a few months since his friendship with Zhan, he was quite really into a strong friendship with Zhan. Whenever he felt stressed Zhan was always there for him, Zhan always made sure he was up and smiling all over again. And this broke him inside that he couldn't be there for Zhan when he needed him for the most. Yibo tossed around his bed, as he was not able to sleep.


Later that night ....


Yibo woke up from his sleep, he was hardly able to sleep when he heard the doorbell in his house. He wouldn't usually get up to answer the door, but since there was no one else other than him in his house, he got up sighing. He walked down the stairs almost hurried to open the door because the sound of doorbell was going continuously. " Who is it ? " Yibo asked carefully making sure it wasn't someone dangerous since it was 11pm already.


But there was no answer from the other end, only the sound of doorbell ringing again was heard. He peeped through the peephole to see who it was and he was actually surprised to see Zhan, but he wasn't in his usual state, he was rather quite dizzy and giggling to himself. " Zhan ! " Yibo opened the door as he held Zhan's arm bringing him inside the house, he reeked of alcohol smell. He made him sit at the couch, while he went to the kitchen to get him some water. He gave it to him while sitting at the couch opposite to him. 


" Are you drunk ? " Yibo asked to which Zhan giggled and nodded his head " Why ? " Yibo questioned to which Zhan got up sitting close to Yibo, he flinched back which made Zhan to pout at Yibo's action " Because of you ! " Zhan said as he continued drinking the water, Yibo was confused what he done to make Zhan drunk " What did I do ? " asked Yibo to which Zhan put his finger at Yibo's lips and shushed him.


" What didn't you do? Starting from the fact that you gave me a friendship when I was perfectly happy being alone in my life, you entered in it making me or giving me a hope that ye I can be friends with someone, but that didn't make you stop there, You had to make me fall in love with so miserably to the core that even you separation in form of your dating my bully was hurting me, I still made up my mind to not mind it, but again and again like a fool I kept falling for you, while your girlfriend took advantage of you by getting back at me for what happened years ago ! " Zhan said merely out of breath as he fell on the couch.


Yibo who was intrigued of what Zhan had said wanted to know the reason behind Yifei being a bully, more importantly he was taken back by the strong confession by Zhan about him loving him. " What is reason ? " Yibo questioned him again, Zhan giggled as he went close to Yibo facing him face to face, he smiled " The real question is how much do I love you ? " Zhan smiled while Yibo was confused of Zhan's question, just before he could question him back, Zhan pulled Yibo's face closer to him kissing him on the lips, the kiss which lasted merely for two second made Yibo shocked and Zhan unconscious due to the alcohol getting him finally.


Yibo pushed him over the couch, while he got up rubbing his lips, he couldn't believe Zhan had kissed him, a guy had kissed him, his friend had kissed him. He was confused whether to shout at him, punch him or just let him go because he was drunk. Yibo sighed as it was best forgotten, because of the fact that Zhan was drunk he wouldn't be able to remember it anyway if he was sobered in the morning. He supported Zhan while getting a taxi to drop him off his home.


While travelling back he realized, how much thinking and thoughts he needed to put in this weird relationship between Yifei and him, as well as Him and Zhan as well. " Weird ~ " he thought to himself as he still kept rubbing his lips, which had received just a quick pec from Zhan hours before, but it seems as though the warmth still lingered there.
