“Ah..T-thank you..”

“That's not what I want to say...”

Wang Yibo took all his courage and speak again. His face is crimson as he stares at Xiao Zhan's face blushing too.

“Go out with me.”

Pit-A-Pat...Pit-A-Pat...Pit-A-Pat...

Xiao Zhan's heartbeat rumbles while his mind is trying to process what just Wang Yibo said.

Wang Yibo likes me? For real?

“Yibo..ah..me too...I..” Xiao Zhan's heart beats fast and it's pounding hard on his chest as he looks at Wang Yibo in his eyes.

While staring at him, Xiao Zhan saw Mrs. Wang face on him. He suddenly gets back to his senses.

“Sorry...I...”

Wang Yibo suddenly gets confused.

“I like you but it's not...” Xiao Zhan stops when Wang Yibo cut him.

“Don't give me an answer! You don't have to answer it right now. Think about it first, then answer.” Wang Yibo said and left Xiao Zhan.

“Yibo!”

At the dinner, though they are just inches apart, the two never talk and just silent while eating. Mrs. Wang noticed it.

What is this atmosphere, did they fought again? No, it's not like they usually talk a lot. It might be my mistake.

In his bedroom, Xiao Zhan is thinking hard. He is contemplating his concrete response to Wang Yibo's love confession.

You asked me to think about it but my answer will remain the same. I should not let this drag on. I'd better tell him soon.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fist as he stands up and decided. He goes out of his room and to his surprised, he meets Wang Yibo right in front of his door.

They both halted and stare at each other. Then they continue to walk in their desired direction but Xiao Zhan stops Wang Yibo when he passed after him.

“Yibo...”

Wang Yibo turns and faces him.

“I can't go out with you, I am very sorry that I can't accept your confession.”

“Why?”

“Huh?”

“I want to know why..”

“I can see the end but not the start. If Auntie knows we will eventually break up and it will be harder than it is now. I also don't want to let Auntie down.” Xiao Zhan explained.

“Now, from what you just said, you only have one reason which is Mom. How about your heart?”

“Ha? I don't like y-”

Wang Yibo holds Xiao Zhan's arm tight as he grabs him and slams at the wall.

“Ouch!”

“That's a lie! You like me too.”

Xiao Zhan flinched and stare at Wang Yibo. Without notice, Wang Yibo forcefully kissed him. Xiao Zhan's eyes are wide open from shock. Xiao Zhan struggled and shift his face to the other side catching his breath as he gasps.

“I don't want to!”

Wang Yibo holds his face again and is forced to kiss him but Xiao Zhan closes his mouth to prevent Wang Yibo from kissing him but Wang Yibo succeeded and kiss him hard again. Xiao Zhan's strength is nothing compared to Wang Yibo. Wang Yibo is kissing him forcefully when Mrs. Wang calls them.

“Kids, let's eat fruits.”

Xiao Zhan open his eyes in surprise when he heard Mrs. Wang's voice. Thinking maybe they are studying, Mrs. Wang steps up to the stair heading to their room. Wang Yibo is still not letting go of him and Xiao Zhan is begging and praying in his thought until Mrs. Wang caught them.

“Just what are you doing right now? Wang Yibo, won't you take off your hands off him?”

Wang Yibo slowly let go of Xiao Zhan's cloth and just turn his back and leave.

“Where do you think you're going, you won't stay put? Yibo!” Mrs. Wang said.

“Zhan, are you alright? Did Yibo hit you?” Mrs. Wang asked as his knees feel weak and still did not recover from what just had happened.

“I'll go first, I'm sorry.” Xiao Zhan left and quickly enter his room.

“Zhan!”

As soon as he enters his room, Xiao Zhan tears drop, and cried silently as he covers his mouth to suppress his voice not to make a noise.

How can I tell you that way...

Meanwhile, Wang Yibo was still in shock too.

He can't believe he did it and force Xiao  Zhan just like that as he can picture out how pure and innocent Xiao Zhan is only for him to do that.

He did not like him until now just to do this and force Xiao Zhan to love him.
