I opened my eyes only to see darkness. I felt confused. Is this a dream?

"FanXing."

I froze in place, "I need your help." Suddenly my dad walked out of the darkness and towards me. "What...?" I shook my head in disbelief, "No, I don't believe it. You're dead." I started to back away carefully as I stared at my dad. In a blink of an eye he stood in front of me. Before I could do anything I was embraced in a hug. "I really missed you." The hug felt familiar in a way. It was warm and nice. Like something that I've missed for a long time.

So I gave in. "I missed you too." Tears trickled down my face slowly as I hugged him. Even if it was just a dream at least it would be a good one.
...
"We're finally home!" Yibo yawns tiredly before collapsing on the couch. "I'm so tired."

Xiao Zhan chuckles as he sits next to Yibo. The two relaxes in each other's embrace before getting up to change.

"Wait Yibo."

"Yeah?"

"I need to show you something."

"Show me what?"
...
"What the hell..." Yibo stated with his mouth wide open. "You can't be serious right?"

"Xiao Zhan are you crazy??" Why are you doing this?"

"Because it's what I believe. It has to be true."

Yibo argues back. "No, this is just madness. Have you gone mad from losing our friend? It's been what? A month? I'm just as worried as you are but what can we do?" Yibo looked down with a sad expression on his face. He felt hopeless. All this time he tried to be happy but the that haunting experience at Jianyu's house repeated itsself in his head nonstop.

Even he was wondering if he was going insane. The weird dreams, flashes of strange things in his head, Jianyu, just everything was driving Yibo to the point of losing it. "Xiao Zhan you can't be so ridiculous."

"But it must be true you have to believe me Yibo. It most likely is isn't it? How can we be renamed after those two people from twenty two years ago?"

Snap

"Xiao Zhan just stop speaking nonsense already!" Yibo yelled angrily with much frustration.

Thump

"I'm having such a hard time coping with everything. I don't need to have an identity crisis too. I'm struggling hard enough so just stop talking about this because I don't believe any of it!" Tears streamed down Yibo's face as his heart was filled with anger.

"I'm already going through a lot so please, stop."

Crack

Yibo widened his eyes he felt a sharp piercing pain ache in his heart. His vision blurred. "Xiao Zhan..."

"Yibo!" Xiao Zhan grabbed Yibo's unconscious body in time but in that moment Xiao Zhan's knees felt weak and he fell. "Yibo wake up." He whispers desperately. "Yibo!"

...
Yibo slowly opened his eye to see that he was back in his room, "You're awake thank god." Xiao Zhan says with relief. "What happened?" Yibo asks as he sits up, "you passed out after yelling..." Xiao Zhan looks away afraid to look at Yibo in the eye. "I'm sorry. I'm a terrible boyfriend and best friend. After all the craziness I never bothered to check on you." Xiao Zhan pulls Yibo in for a hug.

Once they pull away the two stared at each other closely before blossoming into a kiss. "It's ok Xiao Zhan. I forgive you."

...
After breaking the hug FanXing stood there dumbfounded. "There is something I to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I need you to reunite with me and your father."

"What do you mean I-"

FanXing widened his eyes as a strong forced flowed through his body. Floods of memories seeps into his head. After that intense feeling was over he nearly falls onto the ground. This... this is true? Or am I just dreaming?" FanXing says while panting. "We don't have much time now but you must believe it. I have to go now."

"Wait-"

Before FanXing could continue he was awake on the floor. He takes his phone out and checks the time. "It's almost time for class to start again."

I had only passed out for 5 minuets!?

FanXing stands and sits on his desk processing everything he just went through. Am I crazy or was it a dream. But it couldn't be? He was confused and lost. It just didn't make sense. FanXing sighs, "maybe I'm just a little loose from being pregnant."

...
The next day
Current time setting in book. [ January 28th ]
...
Jianyu or shall we say, Yili laid in the cell feeling hopeless and miserable.

"It's time to make our move."

One of the guards came and drags Yili away. He didn't even bother to protest and just walked. They take him to the throne room and let's him fall to the ground under the gaze of the demon king. "For my next move you'll be helping me."

...
[ Friday 11:00pm January 28th ]
There was a knock at the front the door. Yibo and Xiao Zhan looked at each other confused. "Who could it be at this time?" They make their way too the front door and looks through the peep hole. Yibo gasps. It was Jianyu. He was in terrible shape. His body covered with bruises and cuts. He looked like he hadn't slept for days. "Jianyu!" Yibo swings open the door and hugs him crying. "Where have you been!?"

"We were both so worried about you." Xiao Zhan says as he take Jianyu inside. "We have to call your parents." Yibo says worried still. "Where have you been?" He asks.

"Do you need anything?" Xiao Zhan offers, "water will help. I'll tell you what happened after that." Jianyu says with a raspy voice.

"I'll do it Xiao Zhan. You stay here with Jianyu I'll be back."

Xiao Zhan sits next to Jianyu on the couch and places his hand on Jianyu's shoulder. "What happened to you?" Jianyu doesn't answer and quickly stands up. Xiao Zhan looks at him confused. "Are you ok?"

Without much hesitation Jianyu pulls out a knife and stabs him. Everything happened so quick it was hard to process. Xiao Zhan widens his eyes. He felt the knife plunge deeper as he gasps in pain. Jianyu pulls him close, "I'm sorry." Before pulling out the knife. Xiao Zhan felt like time had slowed down. He was in complete shock as he could feel his legs giving up on him. Glass shatters as he sees Yibo screaming. His vision blurred as Jianyu ran towards Yibo and covers  his mouth with a cloth.

Xiao Zhan shouts as he ran towards Jianyu. "Stop! Don't you dare take Yibo!" But it was too late. Yibo's muffled cries could be heard, "Xiao Zhan!!!" The last thing Yibo sees before passing out was Xiao Zhan falling to the ground with blood spilling out.

Xiao Zhan...
