You told me you loved me, so why did you go away? Yibo, you can't do this to me...

Someone's pair of moving hands in front of my face transported my mind back to my bedroom floor where I sat wearing Yibo's sweatshirt and shorts from last night. I could feel his arms around me, his scent still lingers to my nostrils and his breathing while sleeping beside me was crystal clear in my memory. The way his eyelids starts to flutter and his lashes would tickle me. And his lips, every movement of it made my heart produced unexpected tantrums and somersault motions in its cage.

"Jia Cheng! What the hell?!" I spanked his legs and he positioned himself across me. Cross-legged, he studied me like an exam he needed to pass in order to graduate.

"What's wrong with you, Zhan? You don't look good. Did Zoey break up with you?" He's too dumb to analyze what's going on with my thoughts.

I shook my head. "What? Zoey?"

"You don't know Zoey?" My best friend's face twisted.

I am not in the mood to laugh at him. "The fuck! I know her!"

"Oh, okay. Then why are you growing mushrooms here in your place?"

"Growing mushrooms?" I looked for fleshy fungus in my surroundings. "There's no mushroom here, dumbass."

"What I meant is that you've become strange. You stayed here like a hermit. Zoey said she's been calling you since yesterday and you didn't pick your phone up. She also said that after every show of Wang Yibo you gone missing, not giving a clue where you are. And now, you are on the floor of your living room, being emo who looked as if you are waiting for asteroids to divide earth into shards. You didn't even answer my texts, man."

"Yeah...Wang Yibo...That...Wang Yibo..." I mutely muttered.

"Zhan? What's with that expression? Are you perhaps in love with someone new?" I tuned him down as I fixed my eyes to the sleeves of the shirt that hugged me.

One fifty-nine in the morning, that's the time Yibo left me without looking back. Drawing lines and boundaries between us. I never imagined we'd end like this. I mean, we could be close friends and drink beers and wines sometimes. Meet again and talk back about our times together under that snowfall, eating ice creams and we'll banter because of his uncalled-for pick-up lines that could melt anyone's cold aorta.

The smirk, the laugh, the twinkles in his eyes whenever he called my name, the smiley eyes of him, and those foreign feelings he shot like arrows of Cupid to my direction...God...Only couple of hours past and I already missed him so much. All I could think of that he was sent to me to make me understand the fact of how alone and isolated I am...even at times when I am not with Zoey, I didn't feel this kind of sorrow. But without him, my world's precise rotation on its axis halted.

My eyes dropped abundant of tears that I couldn't think what were the reasons out of it. I didn't sleep again after he went to his destination. I slumped on the floor beaten, occupied by melancholy and forlorn.

If this was a movie, I would probably run to him to those stairs of this building and stopped him but its not that easy to do. I have a girlfriend and I loved her. Yibo...Yibo was...I don't know. I am conflicted with the thought that he has a portion in me. If he did love me, he has to explain it. We had the same gender and worse I am not single!!! I didn't have any data inside my brain that could locate the right place that was meant for him. It was indeed true that life made love looks so hard. But I couldn't tell if I love him too...yet.

If I love him then what about Zoey? We've been together since that moment she said YES to me, I kept on forgetting our monthsary or anniversary though but she's a smart girl, cute, supportive at everything, she loved me and I fancy her and my favorites her favorites too. We were shaped to be lovers in this lifetime. I think Yibo was a test given to me to check if I truly love my girlfriend...

Still...UGHHH!!!

"Arggghhh!!!" I repeatedly slapped both of my cheeks. "I hate my life!!!"

Jia Cheng's eyes oddly lit up. He snapped his fingers. "I AM CORRECT!!! YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH SOMEBODY!!!"

"I am not. What are you talking about?" I said firmly, biting my lower lip.

"Oh yeah? I knew it!!! You are in love, brother!!!" He clapped, grinning from ear to ear.

"What time is it?" I asked him, helping myself to get up.

He showed me his phones clock. "Twelve o'clock noon."

"Can you go back to school and hand this letter I wrote to my professors'? Tell them I'll be back when I'm feeling okay. I have a malignant fever so I shouldn't go to the uni and transmit my contagious sickness to all of their students there." I offered him the envelope with my letter inside it.

"Malignant fever? Are you listening to yourself?"

"Just do it, Jia Cheng." My voice was begging him.

He took the packet and stuffed it to his backpack. "Alright. Take rest. I'll call you later."

"Don't bother, I'll be fine." I forced a smile but I failed to display it on my wretched self.

He patted my arms and headed off from the flat.

Pondering what I should do that I am on my own once more, I stretched my frozen body, adjusted the heater machine and delved to the fridge and acquired cookies and cream ice cream. I scooted to the edge of my beds headboard and ate it.

What I am doing now was disheartening!!! I am depressed.

My only friend was this sweet thing that didn't have the eyes to see that I was silently weeping while chewing my food.

I wanted to talk to him...I wanted to hear his voice...I wanted to tell him the two flavors I really liked the most in ice cream were chocolate and cookies and cream...

"Yibo..." I blubbered as I thrusted the spoon to my mouth. I am acting like I've been dumped and rejected by a long-year crush...WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

I carefully rested the bucket of ice cream on my lap and gathered my lying phone. I saw fifty-five unread messages from Jia Cheng, one hundred missed calls from Zoey, eight missed calls from my father and two from an unknown number.

I stared at the unknown caller's number and was about to pressed the 'call', whoever it was, my device began vibrating.

"Yeah?" I answered it, knowing it's from my father.

"XIAO ZHAN!!! MY BOY!!! wehaveaproblem!!!WangYibo'spartydeclinedtheofferofourcompanymysonIknowthisisn'tpartofyourresponsibilitytothebusinessofourfamilybutpleasepleasepleasedoanythingandeverythingtogethimsignthecontractandbeourbrandambassador..." The brainless CEO, my dad instantly puked the words to the line. He erupted the balloon of misery that I was cultivating. Thanks so much, dad.

"Dad, speak slowly." I got a little dizzy because of his useless panicking.

"We have a problem!!! Wang Yibo's party declined the offer of our company. Son, I am mindful that this isn't part of your responsibility to the business of our family but please please please do anything and everything to get him sign the contract and be our brand ambassador...YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE!!!"

"Wha-what?!" I tripped with my tongue. EXTERMINATE ME.
