"Let's get this over with," Zhan said as he wiped blood from his face and looked at the dead body before him.

Simon nodded, "our work is done here, let's go." He said as he placed the dead body in such a way that it seemed like it was a suicide while Zhan made sure that there was no proof of any other person present.

The two gave each other a nod before they walked out of the place.

"Can't wait to head home and sleep peacefully."

"Same here," Simon said as he started the car engine.

Zhan leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes, trying to relax "fuck." He said suddenly.

"What happened?"

"I have an assignment due tomorrow."

"Wait you are going to college tomorrow? I thought you were going to take a day off."

"Nah. Going to college is fun, but what's not fun is handling this job and college together."

"Of course."

Being an assassin was hard, and being a student at the same time was even harder.

"I have no idea how can you enjoy going to college so much," Simon spoke.

Zhan smiled, "I just do."

~~

The next day when Zhan reached college, he was late. He gave a sheepish smile to the professor who rolled his eyes and let him in.

Zhan looked around before smirking and walked towards his seat, he kept his bag on the table and sat beside another person.

The person was visibly annoyed by Zhan's presence, "Did you miss me? Yibo?"

Yibo gave him a glare before he focused back on his notes.

"Come on don't be rude I am asking you nicely, aren't I?" Zhan said as he started to bug Yibo who looked frustrated by Zhan.

Yibo just gave him a harsh glare and focused on his work, Zhan sighed and whispered, "Are you still mad at me Yibo?"

Yibo still did not reply and concentrated on the lecture and Zhan just sighed as he leaned back on his seat and just stared at Yibo.

Once the class was over, everyone was getting up to leave, Yibo got up as well but Zhan grabbed his hand and made him sit back on the desk as he said, "Hey, please I am sorry, don't be mad. Last night I had urgent work and I had to leave, I swear I didn't mean to cancel the dinner."

Yibo just tried to get his hand out of Zhan's grip but the latter was not willing to let him go, "right, how about we go out and have something to eat for lunch? I know a good place."

"I don't want to go anywhere, now leave my hand, as I have some assignments to finish."

"You can finish the assignments later, it's not like we have to submit them right now, come on."

Yibo sighed as he leaned back on his seat, "This is the fourth time in the same week that you have canceled plan Zhan, this isn't funny anymore, if you are not serious and you have some other work, then go and do that, do not bother me! I have some other things to do.

It's not cool that I prepare everything and get ready and postpone my work just for you to cancel on me."

Zhan felt guilty when he heard that, "Hey, I swear I didn't do it willingly. I don't like canceling plans either, but it's just work is important."

"Then you shouldn't make plans if you have work."

Zhan rubbed the back of his head before he said, "Can we just go out and have lunch? And now talk about this? We can discuss this later. Come on I am really hungry right now."

Yibo shook his head and said, "Fine." The two got up and left the classroom.

Zhan and Yibo met at the start of the semester in their fourth year of university, before that they weren't even aware of the other's existence, it was a chance coincident when they had to sit beside each other.

Zhan being the friendly person he was tried to talk to Yibo but the latter was really annoyed and didn't say anything to him.

It was safe to say that the two did not like each other, Yibo did not like Zhan because the latter was too talkative, bubbly, and over all a happy sunshine person.

Zhan did not like Yibo either, as he thought that Yibo was a rich spoiled, and arrogant brat who liked to look down on others and was rude to everyone.

Their dislike only grew since then. Zhan thought that Yibo was a teacher's pet and also hated the fact that Yibo never really helped him or any other.

Whereas Yibo was always annoyed with Zhan, Zhan had once asked him to help with his assignment but Yibo refused even though he could have helped, he just didn't want to help Zhan.

Yibo had once spotted Zhan smoking in the class and he told the teacher then and there which resulted in Zhan getting scolded and his marks being deducted.

There were many such incidents and since their dislike had only grown, however since then Zhan started to annoy Yibo and he enjoyed it.

He would purposefully sit beside Yibo and annoy him or try to irritate him till the latter would get too frustrated and get up and leave.

But soon their dislike turned into something else, Yibo soon got used to Zhan's presence and he missed him when he wasn't there to annoy him and the same went with Zhan, he also thought about the arrogant grumpy student all the time.

The two got used to each other's presence so much that they always wanted to spend time with each other and finally one day Zhan asked Yibo to be his boyfriend, and the latter agreed.

While the two walked through the corridor, Zhan grabbed Yibo's hand and gave it a kiss, while Yibo just gave him a small smile.

"Zhan!" Someone called out Zhan and the two stopped as they looked at the person who came running towards them.

Yibo was visibly not happy when he saw the person while Zhan just gave an awkward smile to the person, "Hi Gina."

The beautiful girl that stood before them gave them a beautiful smile as she said, "Hi Zhan, how are you?"

"I am fine."

Gina then looked at Zhan and then at the entangled hands of Yibo and Zhan, before she smiled and grabbed Zhan's other hand, "It has been such a long time since we have hung out together, you don't miss me at all do you?"

Zhan smiled but it was obvious that he did not like the situation that he was in, "it's not like that Tina I was a bit busy."

"I see, then let's go have lunch, I came to your college just to meet you. Let's spend some time together please."

Zhan took a deep breath as he turned to Gina and said, "Gina, I already have plans with Yibo."

Gina's smile faltered a little and she looked at Zhan and then at Yibo and said, "I am sure that Yibo has no problem with me, right? You wouldn't mind if I tagged along right Yibo? I am his 'best friend' after all, we are very close."

Yibo looked at Zhan before he said, "Sure it's okay."

Gina smiled as she looked at Zhan, "See he has no problem let's go!"

Yibo's smile was gone and Zhan was no longer happy as well.
