The car's wheel screeched on the pavement as it made a sudden stop. Several men got off, all wearing black suits, one of them opening the passenger's seat for a young lady.

Jennie got off, her high heels making click-and-clack sounds as she went to the doorway of a massive 3 storey house. She pressed the buzzer once. Twice. And before her patience ran out, the door sprang open revealing a handsome man with kind features in his mid 20s.

Sooner than he could ask anything, Jennie's bodyguards have already seized him and barged inside his home: checking every room, searching for something.

"Who are you? What do you need?" The man collectedly asked.

Jennie stared down the young man who is pinned-down by 4 strong hands. She is amazed that he did not struggle, nor screamed for help.

"I know he is here." she stated with intimidation.

But the man only shook his head slightly, speaking with gentleness, "It isn't right to do these things in someone else's house. This is a crime."

Jennie's eyebrow raised, thinking how could he be so calm. She was about to approach him and try to intimidate him further, when one of her bodyguards whisphered that they've found what she was looking for.

"Miss Liu, he is upstairs."

That was music to her ears. Without any delays, she signalled her guards to release the man--confident he wouldn't do anything stupid and rash. She then turned her head and mind away from his pleasing facade. She is not there to scout him to be an idol or to find another crush.

Heart on her sleeves, she approached the room the men have pointed and silently entered.

Her eyes suddenly softened as it landed on Yi Bo who lay asleep on that wide bed of pure white. She can't recall ever seeing him so peaceful and angelic.

She settled herself beside him, leaning close, feeling his warmth, hearing his silent breaths.

"Why can't you be mine?" she faintly whispered touching Yi Bo's pale face.

Yi Bo's lips trembled, half-asleep, clutching Jennie's hand, "Zhan-ge?"

Rage and jealousy surged inside Jennie. She retrieved her hand back and got off the bed, back facing the dazed Yi Bo.

Yi Bo blinked several times readjusting his sight with the day's brightness. It wasn't a tall slim silhoutte that is in front of him. Instead, it is a petite and short silhoutte of a woman.

Shocked, he sat up and gaped at her. "How did you find me?"

Jennie recomposed her grin, secretly wiping the tear in her eye. She faced Yi Bo throwing a handful of pictures on his bed. "What is he to you?!" She demanded.

Yi Bo stared at the photos surrounding him. He reflexively picked them up when he saw what it was. His heart weakening with every sight.

Those where pictures of him and Zhan when he was still in the hospital. They were both unaware of the snaps and shots their audiences have taken and posted in social media. So these were a shock to him.

They both looked happy.

They were smiling widely.

"Why do you only show that face when you're with him?" Jennie kneeled on his side, pleading in a way for Yi Bo to tell her what she needed to change for him to look at her the way he looks at Zhan. To smile at her the way he smiles at him.
