A small closed place accompanied by pitch-black darkness was the perfect recipe for disaster for Zhan.

This was horrifyingly nostalgic, the darkness instilled the old fear in his heart and that fear squeezed his heart and spread through his lings contaminating them as well, as a result, he was unable to breathe.

The fear transformed into a terror that spread like a virus in his body and made his hands shake, his body broke into a cold sweat, a shiver ran through his spine, and the pupils of his eyes dilated.

And a ringing voice came back to his ear, a bloody scene flashed before his eyes, a big house and to people and an old man... Cheng screaming... no...no...no...no..NO.NO.NO!!

"OPEN THE DOOR!" Zhan screamed his phone had already fallen on the floor and Zhan was going hysteric the only thought was to get out by any means

"OPNE THE DAMN, DOOR, YIBO! YIBO!!!" Zhan screamed at the top of his lungs and the fear son reached his brain as more and more images flashed, screams, the red liquid on the floor, and his eyes watered as he kept his hands on his ear, "Stop, stop, stop, STOP STOP STOP!!!" He said and banged his head against the door, he banged more and more harshly, but there was hardly anyone at the house everyone was out in the reception.

Zhan's body was trembling so badly and he was afraid he was going to have a breakdown so he bent down and tried to look for his phone, fortunately, he got it but it had gone off after it fell on the floor.

Zhan switched on his phone again, he kept his hands on his chest, he knew he was having a panic attack and his eyes got blurry and he clutched the phone tightly in his hand as he tried to breathe and calm himself.

He took deep breaths inhaling and exhaling before he called Yibo whose line was busy and then he called Simon who didn't pick up, and the next he called Cheng who answered quickly.

"Hello." 

"C...Che.ng."

"Where are you?" Cheng asked immediately.

"I am locked in this washroom it's...it's too dar here please.... come and open it."

"Tell me which one I will be there."

Zhan tried to remember where he was and did his best to tell Cheng.

Cheng told him to be on the call, while he sat against the door and curled himself into a ball, and covered his ears, waiting for Cheng.

Zhan felt something flow done his forehead and he noticed that it was blood he really had his head hard, and his hands were also injured.

"It's okay, It's okay, it's okay." Zhan chanted and suddenly the door opened, "ZHAN!"

Zhan someone grabbed him and put his arms around their neck as they helped him walk out.

It was dark now since the sun had already set and Cheng bought Zhan to the hall and made him sit on the sofa before he turned on the light of his phone and tapped Zhan's cheeks, "Zhan!, Zhan! look at me, Zhan." Cheng called out to him.

Yibo came there as well and was scared to see Zhan like that as well, the lights soon came back as well.

"He has a fever," Cheng said as he laid Zhan down Yibo ran and brought a bottle of water before helping Zhan to drink it.

"How the hell did he gelt locked in there?" Cheng spoke as he wetted his handkerchief and wiped Zhan's face while Yibo froze when he heard that.

Cheng wiped the blood as well and Yibo slowly grabbed Zhan's hands when he saw the bloody knuckles and guilt filled his heart again.

Cheng sighed, "I'll take him, it's better to give him medicine before his fever rises." Cheng said.

"I'll go as well," Yibo said as he helped Cheng to carry Zhan to the car, and they made him sit in the back seat and Yibo sat beside him continuously wiping his hands and face while Cheng drove.

Once they reached the house, They carried Zhan to their room when Yibo undid his tie and opened a few buttons of his shirt and took off his coat and belt and undid his pants.

And covered him with the sheets while Cheng came back with medicines and gave them to Yibo, "It won't be good to take them on empty stomach."

Cheng nearly cried and gripped his hair, "Arghh!" which mother fucker locked him there!" Yibo gulped and didn't say anything while Cheng said, "I will order something."

Cheng took out his phone and took a chair and sat on it before ordering something after he was done ordering he received a call from Ziyi, who was the date that he forgot and now he really wanted to cry.

"Hey, beautiful."

"Where are you? I can't find you here?"

"I am at my home, actually, there was an emergency."

"What emergency?"

"Zhan has a high fever and I had to bring him home, Yibo is here with me as well."

Ziyi sighed, "Fine."

"Please don't be mad I promise I will take you on a date this promise."

"Yeah right."

"No, this time I promise I really, really do."

"Fine, I trust you." Ziyi said before the call was disconnected and Cheng sat on the seat glaring at Zhan, "He ruined two of my dates, I am going to make him pay for this let him wake up."

While Yibo asked, "Why is he so scared of dark places? no, he is not scared of dark places he is scared of small dark places."

Zhan was mumbling something in his sleep and Cheng and Yibo didn't pay attention to that.

Cheng spoke, "Just ask him."

"I did actually, back in school once he got locked in the store room and got a high fever so I asked him why was he so scared."

"And what did he say?"

"He said that he doesn't know."

Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Well then how will I know?"

"But he is mumbling your name."

"That's because I am his twin, whenever he is scared he remembers the closest person to him that being me."

Yibo just stared at him with a poker face and Cheng stared back at him he was not going to be intimidated before Yibo spoke, "this isn't fear, I am scared of bugs and dark as well but not to the extent where I would get sick or something.

Moreover, his symptoms are more like PTSD."

Cheng closed his eyes, "I didn't know you were a psychiatrist as well."

"I had my fair share of experience with them."

"Hm... so you are playing detective huh? Let me play detective you, mom and dad and Yanli were with William, Simon was by his side as well, Zhehan had already left and Zhan wanted to talk to you. 

So I think that the one who locked Zhan in the washroom was you right? I would think it was the chairman but I saw him sitting near the bar... so... you are the only suspect."

Yibo and Cheng's staring contest began again and Yibo sighed, "I didn't know that lights would go off and I nearly forgot that he was afraid of the dark."

Cheng nodded, "We'll know it or not you nearly gave him a heart attack, he is not going to talk to you now. "

Yibo closed his eyes and his rubbed his forehead, "I was mad at him."

"As always," Cheng spoke with a smile.

"For getting another woman pregnant."

Now Cheng's smile was gone as well and he looked at Yibo, "How did you-"

"I heard the two of you talking."

"How long did you hear us?"

"When Zhan said that he can't abort the child."

Cheng sighed, "You should have listened more than that idiot." Cheng spoke and suddenly his phone rang, "The order is here." He said before he got up and got the food.

He gave it to Yibo, "Feed him." Yibo took the food, Cheng had ordered vegetable soup and some porridge.

They helped Zhan sit up and Yibo slowly fed him, "Zhan come on open your mouth."

After Yibo was done feeding Zhan he kept the bowl aside and helped him take the medicine.

"So you are not going to tell me anything?" Yibo asked one last time from Cheng who shrugged, "If he doesn't know himself then how will I?"

"You are very annoying you know that."

"Being annoying is a part of my profession."

"I'll find out on my own."

"Be my guest," Cheng spoke Yibo couldn't help but sigh all this time what he figured out about Cheng was that nothing absolutely nothing bothers this guy.

He is never intimidated, he is never angry, he is never annoyed he is always, always calm and god knows what goes inside his mind.

"By the way, you should go back, "Cheng said, "Today is your mother's special day, I will stay here with him, and I am sure he will not wake up soon."

Yibo who regretted his doing today didn't want to leave but he also wanted to be by his mother's side, after all today was her big day.

"Just go I am here," Cheng assured him and so Yibo gave Zhan one last glance before he left, he has to say sorry to Zhan once he comes back that's for sure.
