One week passed by. Everyone was busy doing their own business. And Zhan has a lot in his hand. Not only he has to look over the decorations, but also rewrite the drama they will be performing on the anniversary. So he kind of made himself busy in the works instead of thinking or may say overthinking about  Yibo's cases. He hadn't seen Yibo this week. Not in university, not like they meet. As for messages, Zhan didn't even open his chat.

"Zhan ge,  as for decorations I called the operator they said all the materials will be sent here tomorrow," Seok-woo said looking down at the lists in his hands.

"Great, then please check the costumes please I will be coming soon, professor mao was looking for me..."

"so will we start rehearsing after you two come here?"

"Yeah, you can start though. Is Jungkook here?"

"Yeah..."

"Okay make sure all of them have scripts... I will be coming back in a minute."  Zhan said as he rushed out to meet Mao.

He was about to call for Mao when his eyes fell on a familiar boy. He narrowed his eyes and to his utter surprise that was Joseph Zeng. He was in formal shirt and pants unlike his playboy outfit. And he is talking to Mao. What could they possibly have to talk about?

It seemed like Joseph was a bit nervous and Mao was laughing to his words... so unlike them. 

"Noona?" Zhan asked as he went into her office.

"Oh Zhan come in come in..."

"Zhan?"

"Hey Joseph..."

"You two know each other?"

"yeah- he is Yibo's friend." Zhan said. " But Joseph how did you know Mao noona."

"Oh Zhan, he was the one who saved drunk Tae that night. I am really grateful for that."

I realized everything now. The lady Joseph was talking about was no one but Mao noona. Oh boy you got wrong ship...

"So what is it Zhan? Anything you want to talk about?

"okay you two can just talk and after that come to the rehearsal. I will direct them till then Bye Joseph and Bye Noona." I said as I winked at Joseph obviously making sure Noona wasn't looking at me. His eyes widened as he smiled and nervously coughed before looking again at Mao noona.

Finally seeing Mao happy with someone outside her comfort zone made Zhan beam with happiness. He was really eager to tell about it to Taehyung.

He was about to enter the rehearsal auditorium but paused as his eyes fell on certain someone standing in front of it.

It is Yibo.

It's been just a week since he had seen him, but it felt like an year. He genuinely missed him. But as soon as his memory drifted into that night when Yibo couldn't find a moment to talk with him-it made his heart clench. Intruding into their family business would be the last thing Zhan would want.

He took a deep breath and went towards him. Unlike Zhan, Yibo was beaming with happiness- such happiness he had never seen before.

Hearing his footsteps Yibo looked up at Zhan, as soon as their eyes met Yibo jumped onto him. Needless to say, Zhan was indeed taken aback. His heart was beating erratically as if he is going to have a heart attack soon. GOSH!

Due the momentum, Zhan spun around Yibo who hugged him dearly. Either way, he missed him so so much

After that moment, Yibo got down to his feet and smiled widely. Zhan couldn't help but smile a bit too but soon composed his posture. 'You need to be grumpy Zhan, don't get fooled by this little puppy.' He said to himself.

"I missed you." Yibo said pouting and holding Zhan's hand.  Every word seemed fuzzy as Zhan was drowning in Yibo's glee.

"I am sorry I couldn't reach out- it's just so much many things that I couldn't brace up. It's-" his words were cut off by the yell of Seok-woo and Jungkook who came to see me.

"Zhan ge, we need you there. Oh Hi Yibo it's been a while." Seok-woo said smiling.

"Hey... really. I was just busy. How are you and Lea?"

"We're good."

"Yah, brat enough chit chat... we are getting late Zhan ge please do something." Jungkook said as he stomped on the ground pouting. All of them couldn't help but laughed at that.

Zhan was about to leave when Yibo tugged  his hand. He whispered,

"Meet me at Richard's today at 6. I want you to meet  special someone. We will be  waiting for you.  We will be having dinner there.Please come." He said sadly at that Zhan gulped.

"Okay." He somehow mumbled and left to the stadium.

It was almost 5 when they finally finished their rehearsal. Everyone was tired including Zhan but he was more of  anxious than that of tired. As soon as he finished his job, he went to the destined place Yibo told about.

It was a high class restaurant where the very rich people usually come. Zhan used to come here with his parents when they were alive. He still is rich but has no purpose or any will to do it.

"Hello Sir, welcome to Richard's. May I know your name so I can tell you the number of your preboooked table sir?"

Even though he was coming straight from university, it was none other  Zhan. He is enough of beauty himself no need no formal suits.

He went to the table seeing the reservation. His eyes quickly fell on Yibo who was smiling and sitting with a woman. It's Shen Yu.

Zhan's breath hitched. He didn't know why but he felt a churn inside his stomach. Taking a deep breath he proceeded.

"Hey." He smilingly said to Yibo and bowed to Shen yu. Yibo instantly got up and drew his chair to make him sit.

"Zhan ge... I know you two previously met. But let me introduce her to you again... she is Shen Yu, not just Shen Yu.... but she is the ex-girlfriend of my sister Zia..."

And Zhan could feel his mouth just dropped.
