Feeling like his apartment isn't alone but with someone else, didn't bother him because he is used to it. His brothers would jump in whenever they feel like, his mom too, so she can make food for him. Help him with some cleanliness. His father would pass by to check how the security is around his new apartment.

And the moment he took off his shoes  he was welcomed with the whom he thought he would lose his life if he even neared him.

He was always wrong.

He wasn't fair from the start.

"Ji yang. What brings you here....no!? How did you get in?" Playing his keys in a safe place

"Wen Han let me in. He is making something."

"Oh. Han gē!"

"Yibo! Welcome back. Ji yang wanted to have a word with you!" Hearing that yibo faces Ji yang only to gasp when Ji yang digs his soul by the look.

"You aren't planning on mocking him like you did?"
Yibo gulped. While Ji yang continued.

"You aren't going to make him cry, sick, agonize, being at hide. You won't again, is it?" Sitting beside yibo. "I'm just begging you-

"It's thanks to you that I was arrogant that time. I was hurt but the moment I started seeing things by myself, realized that was greatly wrong. He didn't need to say twice that he loved me but I'm the one who doubted him. I misjudged him. I feel remorse now. But I hope that it's not too late to take him back. Those two years of our relationship where the best I ever dreamed of everyday. And I want them back. It's just doesn't feel right at all that I'm not with him but I hope tomorrow I will make the day look different to him. Will bring back the happiness I struggled to bring it. You'll help me, right?" Looking at Ji yang.

"Of course." Hugs yibo who lowly closes his eyes.

"Thanks for always making me see the right things and never misjudge before."

"It's okay. Those years were hard for both of us. But we are just happy we moved on." Hurriedly he wiped his eyes.

"It's okay. You always had Zhan for you, and now you have us. And we just love you just like a family. See how mother troubles you "

"I know. I'm just lucky." Smiling he holds back his tears. 'I just miss you father.'

Wen Han who was back with his tray stood midway watching them. There is sadness and happiness at a time.

........

"Holy!!! Zhan!!!" Calls the same manager. "Argh! This reeks bad. You drunk?🥴" Horror vivid carrying the drunk Zhan on the floor he took him inside the bathroom and to the jacuzzi as he opened the tap. The moment cold water reached his skin slowly Zhan's senses reached him back. "You have forty minutes for preparation. God! I'm not a robot. I can't do your makeup like a crazy bitch!!"

"Aaaa😦😦..." Yawning he frowns. "Forty! Minutes. Get out. I need to shower." Massaging his temples.

"That serves you right." Looking at Zhan who feels pain, he leaves out of the room to prepare things.

....

"I can't be late. I need to pick mother. I need to..." Putting on his shoe, one leg high making it fit, his bow tie on mouth, his coat attached under his arm while the manager followed him back with a gift box.

"I told you to get prepared early but you drunk instead." Placing the box on the table.

"I'm sorry. Let's go."

"Oiiiii....wear properly." Warns the manager before going and make his tie nicely. "You look tired."

"But I'm tired of leaving alone, yes." Nodding in hope.

"I mean tired. Lack of sleep."

"It's fine." Smiles. "We can't have this emotional thing here. Let's go."

"Okay." the two took their way outside as he will be going to take his love back.

.......

He was by the stairs looking at the beautiful stars. Who had ever said that he was more manly this time. Anyone would triple themselves if not for his sharp representative face. Moderate masculine body. With calm breeze his well styled hairs brush past his forehead. His hands in his pockets, within a black tuxedo, I mean everything in him is black.

And that suits him😼

"Yibo son. You look so new." Climbing like a princess to meet her son. Wearing a long velvet dress with emerald sparkles on it. Black heels having diamond pellets on it. The black purse, of course costing a lot of pounds.

"Ma. It's good to see you guys. Pa!" Hugging them. His day was just easy, breathtaking like his son, in his maroon tuxedo with black leather shoes with gold stars on them.

They know how to spend 🤔

"Was scared you guys would come like oldies here." Smirking.

"Defining us that we know nothing about fashion. Arrogant boy. You have really grown up." Her eyes suddenly shimmering. "We almost thought you are still that twenty two boy. Time really flies."

"Not now my beautiful mother." Cups her cheeks. "You can't make the picture ugly."

"You are right. Haha!..." Blinking furiously. To avoid the tears.

"Look at you. A destroyer." Mr Wang takes the hanky wiping the corners of her eyes.

"Make you aren't ruining it."

"And I thought it was you who wanted to ruin it." Snorts back.

"Okay. It's enough already." But for a moment he gazed downwards he kind of saw that back. And his curiosity got fulfilled when he saw that man fully coming outside again to make a phone call and in a minute the woman who is no other than a the first lady with Haoxuan, there is Jinah, Meng Yao and Su she behind, having Ji yang beside him. Yibo remembered them all.

He didn't cross those faces for three months. Three for hell. Except for Ji yang who was like a bug.

"Mom. I gotta go." Saying so yibo climbed up like a speed leaving his parents still bickering each other.

......

It was dark. And an erie silence. But then that silence turned into cheers when at the center of the stage light up purple lights. Banners raised high only with yibo's name, dolls, pictures. And soon his silhouette came into view as gasps were heard. No one had any idea that he was there along but it happened.

"I was too secluded that I didn't measure his weight of this much success."

Mummers Zhan, as he felt tickles trailing his cheeks. Before, he turned left right and wiped it hurry so know one can see

I came to realize when it was too late,
Then again it wasn't too late,
The times we shared had meaning,
The good thing is,,,
You are always there whenever I want to see you.

How could it be if time we traveled back?
And make again, those tones of months
We had.
Who said they were only passing days?
Because to me, they carried something eternal.

It has always been youuuu,
In ma journey has always been youuuu,
My shadow, ma breath, has always been youuuu.

Facing all seasons of the years,
Feeling blues when running inside the water,
Getting glitters under the burning sun,
You carrying me on your embrace
Has always been a dream everyday.

It has always been youuuu,
My shadow, ma breath, has always been youuuu,
In ma happiness, sorrow, it has always been youuuu,
If I made you a better person, then it has always been youuuu.

When you cry,
I cry,
When you smile
I Smile,
When you're in pain
I am too,

Everything, around me, my heart, soul,
Has always been for youuuu.

It's you,
Waiting for youuuu,
My only one,
My love,
The one I yearn,

It's youuuu,
My amor,
My shield,
My life.
The colors you brighten me,
I hope they shine more.

The proposal you made,
Was all a secret,
But now?
Make it valid,
I'm here now,
Make me scream joy,
When I feel my ring finger cold.

You said you loved me,
Adored me,
I was your key,
Key to love,
Unlock me,
And lock me inside your heart.

We deserve each other,
Because.....

It's you....!!!!

Now yibo wasn't obviously at the stage anymore. He was at the audience. And now he was facing this particular person who now is well visible to everyone because of the spotlight shining him. Cheers improved more and the song changed too.

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you?
Happy birthday to you??????
Happy birthday to youuuu???

🎶🎶🎶🎶

Ow Zhan's mouth was almost going to turn crippled because of gaping wild. There his mother stood up, squeezing Haoxuan beside Zhan. Her smiley yet teary face, didn't destroy her beauty.

"Happy birthday gē." Haoxuan wished.

"What the hell." Mummers Zhan lowly. Then the brown box was fronted by yibo.

"Aren't you going to do something with this?" Asking yibo via microphone. And the happy birthday song stopped. "Is the proposal still. Valid? You didn't even tell me-

"Yibo, Wang yibo. Look how manly you have become. Look how handsome and talented you have become. I just don't know if I still honor this position to have-

"You still honor." Shouted yibo.

"Will you marry me. Will you always be the lock of my heart? Because I lived but seems like the padlock of my life and it's key weren't here all along? So, will you be my lifetime lock. While my heart stays shielded inside forever? When the key is always there?" Completes Zhan with a swallowing yawn.

"Here is my ring finger." Fronts his palm.

And the moment a loud booming sound was released. Zhan collapsed, making everyone shocked.

😁😁Sorry😁

Thank you. And enjoy.🙏🙏🙏
