Do you know how it feels when the dark grey world you've grown accustomed to freezes over?

Do you know how it feels to long for that sunlight constantly, how it feels when your heart was always searching, always restless.

If the heart is always searching, can it ever find a home?

In that moment in time, Yibo's frozen hell chimed. Light started seeping in. Colour gradually filled his world. He could feel the wind rustle, hear the birds sing. His broken heart was whole again. It came alive, it was pounding, rapid but strong. Pounding for the love of his life. His heart was resuscitated, he was alive again.

"Zhan .." Yibo whispered in an endearing tone.

Zhan turned his heels and ran! Like his life depended on it.

Omg, Yibo is Lan Wang Ji? I can't meet him, I'm not ready. No, I'll never be ready. I can never meet him. Zhan was in a full blown panic attack. He didn't know how to react, he just ran and ran.

Yibo reacted instantaneously, he chased. Never will I lose Zhan again. My Zhan, I've finally found him. My Zhan. I will never let you go again.

Zhan was pulled into Yibo's embrace. He panicked even more, he started shaking uncontrollably. Fresh wet tears streamed down his cheeks.

"Shhhh... Zhan, I'm here. You're going to be fine now." Yibo consoled Zhan gently, rocking Zhan lightly back and forth.

"Zhan... you're okay baby, I'm okay. We're going to be okay."

"Shhh Zhan, I love you. I loved you since the day I met you. And I'll always love you. Come to me Zhan, be mine."

Yibo was fearless now that Zhan is here. He was determined, his love never wavered. Never faltered. He had no doubt, no insecurities. He had faith, he was going to make this work. He was going to make them happen.

Zhan lifted his head, wiped his tears and looked at Yibo.

"Yibo." He called, his melodious voice struck deeply within Yibo's soul.

"Yes my love. I'm here."

"Yibo, I'm sorry."

"Shush Zhan, it's okay. I love you."

"Yibo, thank you, and I love you too."

"Zhan baby, there's no need for sorry and thank you between you and me." Yibo kissed Zhan gently, and in that moment, Zhan too saw the colour and light in his world.
