Xiao Zhan's eyes focused on him, curious and intent. Boldened, he took out the rubber band and offered it to Xiao Zhan. He watched the other man's eyes hyperfocused on his gift as he took it. He must have imagined it, but he noticed an almost imperceptible shake in Xiao Zhan's hand just before grabbing the rubber band.
"Thank you," he said, softly.
Yibo felt the urge to leave before he started trying to explain to Xiao Zhan why he was doing this. He honestly didn't know.
"I must go," he finally said.
"I know. Take care," was Xiao Zhan's response, looking back and forth from the rubber band in his hand and Yibo's face.
"Until next time," Yibo said before closing the door behind him.
Xiao Zhan didn't leave the bed to see him out, still fascinated with the rubber band.

in which,
cassandra blake and jj maybank
hate each other because
the former is a kook trying to be
a pogue and the latter is a real
pogue. but when a treasure hunt
occurs and they're forced to work
together despite their differences,
leading to complicated feelings being
formed, would that make them both
guilty as sin?
