What if I tell you that you will meet the person of your dreams and you will be happy for a whole day, but the next day your dream guy/girl will forget you... forget all that he or she did when you were together and all that they felt for when you were with each other.
Would you still want that one beautiful perfect day?

Now that is kinda the predicament that our boy Yibo has found himself in.

He loves Lan Zhan, he loves Wei Ying, he loves that he gets to play a role which incidentally happens to be opposite a very special person *cough* Bae *cough*
But as luck would have it, there is something very wrong with his BAE....Bro... BAE...Bro...
You see, that is precisely the problem. YiBo has no clue whether the man he is attracted to wants him as his BAE or his bro???

The said love interest...I mean bromantic interest... is giving him so many mixed signals that his brain, as well as heart has started to feel confused af!

BTW is Bromantic Interest a phrase? If not, it totally should be... You know to describe a person you want as your bro but with benefits...ok maybe there is a reason that it's not a phase... It sounded so right in my head but it sounded so wrong when I wrote it.

OK so now let's start where we left off.

Xiao Zhan's heart is racing and things are hard.
'WTF! What is wrong with me?' Zhan thinks getting out of bed and walking over to the restroom.

He splashes cold water on his face.

"Snap out of it Xiao Zhan." Zhan says looking at his reflection in the bathroom mirror.

'Please... Just... Please....let me.' The words echo in his mind.

'F*£€•\<}'®€£©^β¢£√_<•®\~...*K'
*not a typing error*
Zhan closes his eyes.

He takes off his shirt and stands in front of the mirror.
'What is wrong with me?' He looks below... And yes..things are still hard.

He is about to turn and step into the bath when his eyes are drawn to a blueish mark at the nape of his neck.
"WTF is this?" he thinks touching the mark.
"Isssss... " He winces.

'It's a hickey! But how... When?' Zhan doesn't remember getting it.

Obviously he doesn't remember. How can he? It happened when he was not aware of his surroundings... Of himself.

'I think I should return the favor.' Random words come to his mind as Zhan closes his eyes.

"How did I get this? When did I get this? It was not there yesterday when I left for Xia Jiejie's house." Zhan thinks back.

Zhan's mind travels to YiBo. He remembers how YiBo had challenged him to a kiss. 'Is Zhan Laoshi homophobic?' Yibo's words echo in his mind again.

"Bo di... " Zhan whispers carassing the red mark and his heart starts racing again.
'I am just worried about him. He had a fever... his fever might effect his work. Most of his scenes are with me... It's but natural that I am worried about him.' Zhan tries to convince himself.

Afterall Zhan is a very straight man. It's just not possible that the reason YiBo is popping up in Zhan's mind is because of the fact that Zhan is attracted to him... No freaking way!

'What did I dream about last night... I haven't had a wet dream since college...damnit! I thought I was over such things... Maybe it was a bad decision to look at Yang MI's pics before going to bed.' Zhan thinks still carassing the hickey. A sense of relief floods him when he finally convinces himself that Yang Mi was the cause of the situation he had found himself in.

So remember I told you earlier how we sometimes don't admit things to ourselves...so here is where you have to remember that rant.

Sometimes in an effort to feel normal we do things, or don't want to believe things about ourselves...because we don't want anyone to judge us.

Now that Zhan had convinced himself that everything is as it should be, he steps into the shower.

The warm water makes its way down his head drenching his hair making it's way towards his back and lower and lower.

*I may have a problem... F**k! *

The water hits the red mark, it feels nice. Zhan may or may not have thought about a certain Didi while carassing the red mark on the nape of his neck.

He throws his head back and the water hits his face and runs down his eyes... His full bow shaped lips... Making it's way down his beautiful long neck... *cough*

*Sorry... I got distracted again...damnit!*

Zhan may or may not have touched himself inappropriately....and even if he had, he had definitely not though about certain man child... Or how hot that man child had looked with loosely tied bath robe leaving almost nothing of his beautifully sculpted torso to imagination.

*gulp*

After dealing with the hard situation, Zhan feels better. He shoves all the unnecessary thoughts deep inside his brain. He puts a lid on them and gets out of the shower feeling like a new man. He gets dressed, gives final touches to his already perfect face, assembles his luggage that he had already kept ready and walks out of the apartment. He hails a cab and gets in. He doesn't think about anything that has anything to do with a certain Wang YiBo.

On reaching the dorm he pulls out the keys and looks around.
"Looks like I am the first one to arrive here."
Zhan unlocks the door and walks inside the room that he is going to call his for the next one month or so.

He looks around the room.
There is two of everything. Two small tables, two chairs, two beds and two wardrobes.

He misses the small backpack kept under one of the tables. He also misses the helmet kept on top of the backpack.

He enters the bathroom to check it out.
"Oops... Sorry!" Zhan says startled and a little embarrassed at the muscular milky white back.

Zhan being the 100% Hetro man that he most definitely is, should have closed the door after apologizing.
But that is not exactly what Zhan does.
It's like his feet are glued to the floor.
It's also like his eyes are glued to the gloriously beautiful back.

The glorious back turns and Zhan's eyes fall on the equally glorious torso.
'Six pack.' Zhan's brain supplies.

Zhan's eyes move up.
The glorious torso is attached to an equally gorgeous face.
Zhan tilts his head and blinks.
'Is this a dream? Am I dreaming?'

Yibo looks up at his love interest ...I mean bro, standing at the bathroom door staring at him.

"Wei Ying?" Yibo asks hesitantly.

'OMG it's Zhan ge... Or is it Wei Ying?' YiBo thinks covering himself up with a napkin.. The napkin hides absolutely nothing of Yibo's beautiful... sexy....hot af... Totally breathing...angelic...perfect...

*Wait... What was I trying to say!!!!?*

*My apologies, YiBo is very distracting.*

Yes, the napkin hides nothing of Yibo's top half, which is very conveniently on display for Xiao Zhan's totally Hetro eyes.

What do you mean it was totally unnecessary to make YiBo stand shirtless at this point in the story??
He is shirtless because I like imagining... I mean his being shirtless is plot relevant OK!!!

"Wei Ying?" YiBo asks again. His voice full of uncertainty.

"Mn?....Haha... yes. That would be me. Bo di is very professional. I mean Lan Zhan. Sorry I forgot that we had to call each other with our character names." Zhan smiles.

'Thank God it's Zhan ge.' YiBo thinks before saying, "Wei Ying, I was in the middle of something... Could you please give me a few minutes?" YiBo points at himself.

You see, after the things that had been happening between them... *bromantic things* Yibo had decided to keep his distance. He knew that his doing so may cause a strain between their relationship or even effect their work, but he had no other choice.
There was something wrong with his Zhan ge and he needed to know what it was before things got out of hand.
Like they had done last time... He did not want a repeat of last time.

Zhan gulps. 'Oh shoot!'
"Sorry." Zhan turns away and closes the door behind him.

'Did I just imagine it or was Bo di a little cold and distant?' Zhan's hand automatically moves to his chest.
'Why is my heart racing again? I really should get myself checked at the hospital. I hope it's nothing serious.'

Zhan walks towards one of the beds and places all his things in the cupboard next to it. He is almost done arranging his table when Yibo walks out.

"I am done. You can use it now. Sorry for earlier. I had accidentally sprayed ketchup on my shirt during breakfast." Yibo explains pointing at his shirt.

Zhan notices the translucent patch on Yibo's white shirt. He stares at the milky white skin that is visible under the wet patch of the shirt... He stares a few seconds more than hetrosexually necessary.
'Why do I feel hot all of a sudden? ....Is the air-conditioning working?'
His hand again moves to his heart and he looks away from the wet patch of Yibo's shirt.

"Wei Ying... are you ok?" YiBo asks walking closer to Zhan.

Zhan takes a step back subconsciously and back of his legs hit the bed. He falls on the bed.
"Aigoo..." He winces.

Yibo forgets his resolve and runs to Zhan.
"Zhan ge! Are you alright?"

YiBo helps Zhan sit up.
Zhan blinks and looks at Yibo with strange expression in his eyes.

'Damn it!  Have they switched again?' YiBo panicks.
"Wei Ying?" He hesitates pulling himself away from Zhan.

"Bo di... Can you call me Zhan ge when we are alone?" Zhan says touching Yibo's forehead.

YiBo recoils from the touch slightly.
'Thank God it's Zhan ge... But... Then... why does what he just said sound so intimate???.... Maybe I am over thinking things.'
"Zhan ge... Are you ok?" Yibo holds Zhan's wrist and pulls it away from his forehead.

"You don't have a fever anymore." Zhan smiles affectionately.

"Yes, I am better now."
'OMG... Why is he smiling like that????'

Zhan keeps staring affectionately for a few more seconds. Then his eyes fall on Yibo's shirt. He frowns.
"Take it off." Zhan says before his hands go to Yibo's shirt trying to undo the buttons in it.

"Zhan ge!!!" Yibo gasps at the sudden action and gets off the bed clutching his shirt.

Zhan blinks again.
"You will get sick. The air-conditioning is on. You may have a relapse. Wear something else." Zhan orders.

'Oh... It's still Zhan ge.... Wait.... Zhan ge is worried about me!' YiBo smiles.

"Mn." Yibo nods before turning around to grab a shirt from his backpack.

Yibo had not unpacked yet.

He puts the backpack on the bed, but before he can unzip it, Zhan turns him.

"Mn?" Yibo asks confused.

"Here, hold it." Zhan says handing over his shirt to YiBo.
His hands immediately start unbuttoning the younger man's shirt.

Yibo once again holds Zhan's wrists.
"Zhan ge, I can do it myself."

Zhan looks at Yibo with a hurt look in his eyes.
"Why can't I do it for you Bo di?"

"Mn?"

"Let me take care of you." Zhan says once again putting his hands on Yibo's  shirt , his eyes fall on Yibo's lips once more.

{Note :- so how did you guys like this 100% Hetro update?

Please Vote to show your support, if you have enjoyed this update.

The next update will be of The Lonely Bridge in three or four days.
Don't worry, I will very much be continuing it. And the updates will become regular after 3rd.

Also, some of you are wondering why I have time to update Dusk and Dawn but not The Lonely Bridge, it's because the TLB is more complex and more than 3/4th way through. I need to be in a certain state of mind for writing it and at present I am not capable of putting myself in that space. I hope you guys understand.

Thank you for reading.
Have a nice day.}
