"Mom. Stop being hard on yourself.  I understand how you feel. But it's our time to patch up everything.  Even if father knew earlier, all he wanted to do was to try and sort things so we could get him. But...he too got more weak only thinking about you.  He had never tried to lie anything from you? After all, he didn't stop asking me about zhan. Because he was protecting him from his brother. Blood is always strong that he had always protected his own son."

"I just feel bad. That, why?...now?" Looking at her son. "Your father i know he always does things with benefits afterwards but this is different. It's about our son  your twin whom we thought he was long dead but alive yet suffering.  Isn't worse but better to die? As a mother i can feel the pain in my heart." Blinking her tears.

"Mom. My beautiful mom. Let's stay smiley and try our best." Hugging her.

"My son has grown up. "

"Wasn't i?" Letting go of his mom.

"Yes."

"So mean woman! Any reason." Crossing his arms

"Respet son. Respect."

"I don't think I have it either." Stretching his lips in flutter. "You look old than you are...now. when you get...angry, or....frown."

"Arrogant. "

"Yes mother! Did you call  me! Don't worry will be there in a minute! " shouting between his palm.

"Stupid! " mocks yibo.

"Me! Are you thinking with ypur tongue?👹"

"Guess."

"Don't test me yibo."

"You were never an invention to be tested. "

"Ahhh!!!!" Angry Haoxuan.

"Ops! I don't care! " grins yibo while 👿👿an undesicriable creature is readying to burst itself.

🌞🌞🌞🌞

"Shuí(water)...."

Small utter is to be heard. But no answer. So slowy opens his eyes, does a small scanning and it brings some fruits. All are sleeping. IN bad positions.  Mr and mrs. Wang (the president.) At a far single couch hugging his wife. Mr and mrs. Wang(yibo's parents) another couch. Then yibo and Haoxuan. Their position was..... (sigh)

"Fuck!!" That's what escaped zhan's mouth.  "Idiot let go! Off... hi-m!" Too bad with the sleeping logs no one will hear your ghost voice. "Ahh!"

Yessss!!! This was helpful though Haoxuan and yibo kept hugging each other more while, his parents already are holding his hands. Unaware, his eyes are still looking at yibo.

"Haoxuan!!!"

A call from his father brought them back to the world.

"Gē!" And hurriedly the two run to him.

"How are you?" Three different kind of voices yibo among them ryhmed at once and zhan had to stiffen statued over his uncomfortable laying position.

"Gē, say something. " ushers Haoxuan.

Gē???

Zhan's mind battled with itself.

"Haoxuan,  bring the doctor here." The worried tone sounded still looking at zhan who was starring at them but his mind is unconsious.

"Try to say something...don't make them wait. You will be happy promise me...and...I'll have a mother in law.  Moreover....they will be joyed too?"

Yibo had to whisper over his ear, which it opened the door for the gate of tears which slowly ran out in jamming.

Mom, she is mom.

Blinking.

Dad, he is dad.

Even if his mind is the one speaking right now? His chin trembled more as pool of tears drew out and his body shook in agony.

"I'm..- I'm thirsty. Mo-om." Clutching tight yibo's palm, his mother too pinched tight his wrist. She was holding back a lot still gazing at her son.

No pain he felt because of the ongoing saline, three from the morning after four yesterday. One full day he took in the hospital.

"Here. Wa-w...ater can add bitterness to your glant mouth. Have this fresh juice. Your mom made it specially for you."

A bit more the glass would fall from his trembling hands but his wife placed a palm on his hand as a tired and sad smile assured him. So the president with his wife's palm they straightened the glass to zhan.

"It's tasty. Hurry!" Whispered again yibo.

So zhan rose his hand it trembled slightly due to numbness and hunger but stayed strong and tasted it. The doctor left shortly after stating he is fine. Increase precipitation from his eyes were sign of happiness to the liking of the juice so he gulped it all.

"Again....

"Again...

"Aga-in....

He burped and all six looked at zhan in awe. Three glasses. Going four.

"Stop being like a water fuse gluton. Eat something too? Mother's cooking is superb. IF you le..t us into your LIFE. " lastly whispered Haoxuan and room humidified again.

"It's an order.  Especially you! Can't enter inside."

"Have respect. Think you know who this is." The guard from the other party reasoned

"Would rather worship a wall than an angst begger like you! So gross. It's an order from the president! If you defy him! As a man of the country too won't spare you. "

"What's the commotion outside?" Asks president

"Oh! My dear brother you wouldn't wish for your dearest brother come and see his only son!" The door was opened in a harsh but closed in a soft move. "It's a hospital i respect it. Silence is a major key." Shifting his gaze to the already looking zhan. "Oh, my son. How are you now?"

Ready to touch his hand, zhan squeezed it away.

"What a honor to be visited by the prime minister?" States yibo. "Ma, pa, this is the monkey who ruined your hard work! Still you got the guts of coming here. As a citizen i can report your deeds and tarnish your reputation to a bad hated leader. I'm young also." Snorts yibo.

"What brings you here." Rasply asks zhan.

"To check on you."

Twicthing his lips.

"Oooo, ok? Byt no thanks your concern on me. So get out. Leave from here." Gazing him sharply. "Un-ncle?. Far to be my uncle. A good well hacked stranger." Grim at him, his knuckles turned white from anger.

"What brings you here fengmian. I didn't call you today.  I also remember...you didn't want us to see each other, then what!?" Asks the president.

"I came to see my son...

"What son?"

"Xiang zhan! My son!-

"There is no any presentable flesh here for you  to call son!" Interrupted mr president everytime he speaks

"Who do you think you are to speak like that!"

"As your brother.  Your, older, brother! "

"You just, shut up already?!" Shouts  mr Xiang.

"Think the one to do so is you? Shut up and get out!" Pointing at the door.

"Since when! We never shared same status because i was never regarded as part of it! why now? Huh?"

"That's how you think!"

"Then let me be with my son you get out! " commands he.

"Just shu-

"I won't let an illegitimate,  outsider like you! Dare, come, near his life, again. The right one to be here is us!" Zhan gets interrupted.

"What did you call me?"

"An illegitimate.  A nodody." Smirks mr president

"Accusing me like that! What do you think you are?"

"A Wang. " Smirks in winning.

"Such a cursed wargon."

"Think who it is between me and you." Inches a part, facing each other.

"Prime minister.  Get out. F**k. OUT." All turn to zhan who is slightly trembling.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He is turning crazy again? Aren't you healed. Isn't he your medicine?" Critisizes prime minister pointing at yibo.

"I SAID GET OUT!!!" A glass was thrown over his face.  Blood oozing. "Out!! Get out. " his rage turned to agony and his voice broke at last.  "Enougg...h is, enough.  Let me be with my family. How i looked highly on you, wanted to be loved by you, recognised, still you turned a blank eye on me, treated me like a foster, than even slightly as a relative. I'm tired. It's enough. Out." His eyes were dilated bloodshot. Lips twitching.  "Ruined my life? Made me a murderer.  Out. OUT!!!" zhan turned wild when he caught the blood stained neck drowning from is face zhan strangled his neck.

"Love!"

"Haoxuan! Call the nurse now!"

Yibo tried separating zhan by pulling his body back while president tried to snatch his brother from zhan's wrath.

"I'll murder you like how you destroyed my life. Made me kill!"

He increased his strangle.

"Xiang,  look at me! Stop please...." pleaded yibo now on the bed a wrong back move he will be hurt badly.

"Son. Mom is pleading you to stop." Mrs. Wang is no better and yibo's mom calms her down while yibo's father takes the lead of helping his son.

"Zhan. I love you.  Know that. Hmm?" Whispers yibo. "Leave him...he is unworthy." Yibo kisses his neck at the middle of a fight trying his best.

"Why? Did you turn me like this?" Sobbed shouting zhan pushing him falling on his butts. "Don't show me your face or I'll kill you next time."

His weight lifted on yibo who is supported by his father. Zhan's eyes where stable popped out tears straightening down, looking on a thin air.

"I'll kill you. I'm crazy. They call me crazy. They call me CRAZY!! I'm not a MURDERER.  Let me be, leave me alone, *wheezing for air* leave me. Leave my life!" Thrusting from yibo's hold.

"You are weak zhan?"

Yibo hugs him more.

"Take him at the ER! Now!"

Mr Xiang was carried on a wheelchair drove outside.

"Inject him the medicine....
