The Substitute

27

Zhan got down and saw everyone having breakfast, so he joined. His phone kept ringing, but he just ignored it.

They ate in peace, and he finally picked up the call after everyone left.

"You have 2 seconds, Xue Yang,"  he said straight

"I want you to give you the brocth your dad gave to me at my birthday. I broke his trust and clearly don't deserve it anymore. You prolly don't want it but I need to give it back to you please. It would only take 5 mins, " Xue Yang said, acting remorseful

"Throw it a way I don't need it," zhan said, fighting his tears.

"Please, for the last time. I also want to apologize for the wrong I have done to you. I am leaving tonight, and I wanna have a fresh start with no past strings. Please, for the three years we have spent together. I know I wasn't the best companion, but you can't say you have never felt any happiness, even if it was just once." Xue Yang continued his act

"If it would make you shut up fine. 5 minutes.

" Thank you. I will book reservations at 6:30 at the Noodle Moodles restaurant. Do you still  know where it is? Xue Yang  asked, dragging the conversation

"I know where Noodle Moodle restaurant is. I will be there at 6:30. Say your brief say and get the hell out of my life, you jerk." Zhan said, hanging up.

Too immensed into his thought, he didn't see Yibo come from the pantry.

Yibo heard everything and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten in his chest. He wanted to confront zhan, but he didn't have a reason as to why he felt the way he felt.

Zhan got up and went to his room. He didn't want to cry for the man he once trusted with his life and like a fucking joke got with his vicious sister. He didn't deserve his tears.

He got himself busy as he waited for the time he didn't plan on making it on time,Xue Yang was dreaming if he thought Xiao Zhan was the same obedient gullible boy he was one year ago.
