Yibo's POV

"On the same day, we got a call from the hospital, saying that our parents are in danger. We arrived at the hospital, our parents are admitted to the ER. Then an investigator came to us, said that the plane they rode got a malfunction and crush. After hours of waiting the doctors declared their deaths. Zhan is the one who got affected the most. In just a day the three person he loved and cared the most left him. He lock himself in his room and refuse to eat for days, if I didn't insist to make him eat his meals he won't touch anything. After the burial, our grandfather talk to Zhan. He wanted Zhan to marry the daughter of one of his business partner, but Zhan got furious and reject it. Zhan lock again himself to his room, after weeks secluding himself, he finally came out but his not the smiling and cheerful Xiao Zhan before."

Those words that Xuan Lu-jie said two days ago are repeatedly ringing into my head. Knowing what exactly happened to Zhan-ge, I even more feel guilty. I wanted to be mad at myself, to hate myself to what I did, but I can't change the past. If I haven't left him that day, if I have accepted him. It won't be that much hefty to him. He won't be suffering too much. If only I were there for him, to console him to ease the pain that he's feeling.

I also can't believe to what happened. I truly love his parents, because after knowing their son's sexual orientation, they didn't go against it. They wholeheartedly accept it and give their full support to our relationship, knowing that the Xiao's are high reputation and well known in the country. And I'm fortuitous to meet them.

Our group are here again in our mundane routine, shooting and photoshoot for the endorsement. Nothing new happened, and I haven't seen Zhan-ge since our last encounter. After an our hour the director call a break since it's nearly lunch time.

We go to the room reserved to us every break for the shoot. We entered the room. I directly goes to the couch, slam my body there and play to my phone. I heard the ordering the food, I didn't bother much because they already knew what I like, so I just let them. After they finish, the came near me and encircle around me. They stare at each other, giving a knowing look, and nod their heads. I turn to Seungyoun and by the face he is giving, I think I already know what they want.

"Yibo.... Looking at your expression right now, we think you already know what we want, right?" - Yixuan-ge

I nod.

"We don't want to interfere but seeing you look lifeless and hearing you sobbing every night. We can't just stay still and let you be like that. We already miss the ebullient Yibo..... So can you explain to us how do you know Xiao Zhan? Because the first day we met him you became listless, and become more languorous after you talk to his sister." - Yixuan-ge

I sigh. I think it's the right time to say it to them. I took a deep breath and start explaining.

"I and Zhan-ge are lovers before. We-", I got cut off by their shout.

"WHAT!?", they exclaimed except Seungyoun. I want to laugh to them cause of their almost popping out eyes and mouth agape but I hold it back.

"W-What d-did you s-say!? Did I heard it right?", - Sungjoo hyung

"You heard it right hyung."

"But h-how come?", - Wenhan-ge

"It started when we are in college. I was a freshman and Zhan-ge is my senior. Our first encounter is not pleasant, because I accidentally caught him making out with a girl when I was passing by to an empty room. The next day, I saw him again doing the same thing but with a boy in our school grounds. Days passed and I always caught him doing those with different persons. Then I conclude that he's a playboy and should have to be avoided. Until one day I didn't saw him attending school, week after he came back. That time he started following and flirting me wherever I go. After two months of pestering me he confessed his, but I didn't believe him because of knowing that he's a playboy and can't be serious. But he prove me wrong, he stop playing around. He court me non-stop until I started to love him back and became official lovers. We lasted for five years full of happiness, but then."

"But then, what?", - Yixuan-ge

"It was Zhan-ge's birthday, I didn't expect him to propose to me. I was shock and couldn't think right. It was a battle between accepting him or not, but in the end I refuse him and leave him..... Recently, I found out that he... He lost their parents after I run away." I lower my head finishing my story.

(A/N: I really wanted to include their love story back to their college days, but it would be so much hassle to explain. But I just make it short, so hope that it would be helpful to know their history in a short version 😄)

I didn't hear anything from them, minutes later I found myself being hug by them. Comforting me, that it's not all my fault and everything will be fine. They even say sorry for forcing me to tell it, but I said it's okay and I want them to know about it. They are consoling me when we heard a knock and thought it would be the food. Yixuan-ge goes up and open the door. We can see his face become pale after opening the door, then he open it wide and we also pale and shock seeing the man enter the room.

It was Zhan-ge. Our manager followed holding food bags. He put the bags on a small table inside the room.

"Mr. Xiao saw me outside talking to the delivery guy, after knowing the food is yours, he insisted to pay for it." - manager

We said that it not relevant to pay for it but he just said that it's for our hard work.

"Mr. Xiao, please have a sit." Wenhan-ge said pointing the only available space beside me. I internally curse him cause of his mischievous act. But thankfully Zhan-ge didn't complain and sat beside me. I jolted when our arms brushed against each other. I can feel my heart beating fast and my face heating up.

"Mr. Xia-", - Yixuan-ge

"Just call me Zhan."

"Mr- .. I mean Zhan, why don't you join us? It's already lunch.", Yixuan-ge get offered him. I thought that he will refuse it but I'm wrong.

"Okay.", Zhan-ge said

"That's great!", Yixuan-ge said, even clapped his hands and wink at me. I gulp, I can sense that my hyungs are plotting something and it would be no good.

"Yibo, can you please serve Zhan his food.", - Yixuan-ge

I obediently do what he ask. Since I miss serving Zhan-ge his meals. I want to make him feel the old days. After putting some foods on a plate, I face and give him the food.

"Zhan-ge, here's your food.", I handed the food and he accepted it. I can feel his fingers brush on mine when he hold the plate. My face flushed in that small contact.

"Thanks.", He said and give me a faint smile. My eyes widened seeing him smile at me. Heart skipped a beat and just stare at him. It's all bliss.

He clear his throat and that made me out of my daydreaming.

"Y-You're welcome, Zhan-ge", I shyly said.

We started eating with my hyungs talking and laughing. Half an hour later we finished eating.

Zhan-ge cleared his throat to catching our attention.

"I want to invite your group to perform on my engagement.", He said those things while staring at me.

I feel my body froze. I heard my hyungs gasped. My head goes blank. I started shivering and I feel my eyes started to water threatening to fall. My heart is aching, my breath starter to hitch. I feel a hand hold on my shoulder, and saw it was Seungyoun.

Our manager agreed to Zhan-ge's request. Then bid his goodbye and our manager walk him outside.

____________________________________________________________________________

"Yibo are you sure about this? You can still back out." For the nth time they keep asking that.

"I'm really sure about this hyung.", I said in irritated tone.

Since that day, they keep on saying that I can not attend the engagement. But I decline them all and insist to come. Do I sounded like a masochist?
Yes I am. Even knowing that the person I love is going to be married soon, I still want to know who is that lucky woman that own Zhan-ge's heart now. Even if it'll hurt me, I want to make sure that he's happy to the person he's going to marry. I want to confirm that he'll be happy and I'll back off and happily accept the truth.

We arrived at Xiao Mansion. We can saw business men and women invited, greeting each other. The party stared, but I can't see the person I'm searching. The MC start talking and I didn't bother to listen to him since I'm busy searching for a certain person. I heard a loud applause, Seungyoun poke me and signal to face the stage. Then I saw the person I'm searching for. He looks so handsome in his black suit complementing his white porcelain skin. He have his hair up that really matches him whole attire.
Beside him is a beautiful lady wearing a sexy red maxi dress.

They finally announced their engagement and the partnership of Xiao and Meng after the get married. I felt so jealous, it should be me who is by Zhan-ge's side. That would be me, the person he will be marry.

After the announcement, our group is called to perform. We sing a love song for the couple. While singing I just keep my eyes on him, his staring at me to. I just wanted to finish the song already so I can get out of this place. I thought that I can accept it happily but who am I trying to fool? I hurts like hell. I can't accept the fact that his with someone else. I paining my heart so badly. After finishing our performance, I immediately rush down the stage. I walk to the exit and I heard my hyungs calling my name, I fasten my phase and ignore them.

I nearly reach the exit when a two men in black block my way. They dragged me and I just let them because I don't have strength left in my body. They dragged me inside of a black car, and drove away the mansion. An hour passed and we reach another mansion, they walk me inside and let me sit on the couch. Minutes passed and I heard foot steps coming near. Then someone called my name.

"Wang Yibo"
