"Wear this…"
Jiang Rui lifted up the towel on his head blocking his eyes when Qui Yuan reached a dry white shirt towards him. "I don't know if it will fit you but it's the largest size inside my closet so I will apologize in adva---"
"Thank you…" Jiang mumbled
Qui Yuan paused then he smiled back "It's okay, you're always welcome here…" then he turned around, hiding the redness on his cheeks
Jiang Rui gripped the hem of his wet shirt and tugged it over his head and then he quickly put on the white shirt quietly. He glanced at Qui Yuan who was busy arranging his clothes inside the closet. He scanned the male like it was the first time they met, he couldn't even refuse to stay in his house for the night.
"Jiang Rui...Do you want something warm? I have ramen" the male suggested
Jiang Rui didn't reply, he stayed silent. Letting the raindrops from the rain outside tapping the glass window deafen them. In a minute of thinking everything, he clenched his fist "Y-Yuan" he called out. The male stopped what he was doing and faced Jiang Rui "Yes?" he replied
Jiang Rui sighed, then he lowered his head; meeting the wooden design floor "Why?" he asked "Why are you still doing this to me?" he bit his lower lip
Confusion overtook Qui Yuan's face "Doing what? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" he asked
Jiang Rui gritted his teeth, he didn't like it. He didn't like the way Qui Yuan helped him, he didn't like the way the male approached him. He didn't like his smile every time their eyes met. He was so into himself and yet Qui Yuan protected him all the time. He remained silent, controlling his emotions.
Qui Yuan noticed it so he stepped closer to the male "Jiang Rui?" he called out "Is there anything wro---"
He was stunned when Jiang Rui pulled him towards the bed. Two bodies stumble down. Jiang Rui above Qui Yuan, he was gripping the male's wrist under him.
Qui Yuan couldn't move at the moment, his heart was beating rapidly like it was going to explode "J-Jiang Rui?" he asked
Jiang Rui seized the male's wrist beside his head "Why are you doing this to me?!" he exclaimed, letting his emotions out "Yuan! Are you insane or something?! Why do you keep pestering yourself with me?!!" he yelled
Qui Yuan's eyes widened in shock "Ow!" he winced after feeling the tight grip on his wrist, he closed his eyes to resist the pain until he felt something dripping down onto his face. He looked up and he was struck from what he saw.
Jiang Rui's face was showing sadness as his eyes were tearing up in so much grief, he was sobbing under the dim light and cold atmosphere. "I-I-I tried to f-forget you,Yuan" he said between his shaking breaths "But w-why do y-you keep c-coming back?.." he released a gasp under his cracked voice
It was the first time for Qui Yuan to see Jiang Rui cry, he was always going out with that cold hearted stone personality of his. He couldn't believe that bringing them back together would cause a burden to Jiang Rui. He then realized that the male was doing it for him.
Jiang Rui loosened his grips on Qui Yuan's wrist, he couldn't understand what he was feeling anymore. He was full of sorrow and regrets. He let his tears fell down on Qui Yuan's cheeks
"I told you to forget me already! Yuan stop yourself!! I tried to kill you!! Can't you understand it this ti--"
He was stupefied when Qui Yuan pulled him towards his chest. "It's okay.." the male uttered
That moment, only the beating sound of Qui Yuan's heart filled his ears. The male embraced him wholeheartedly without doubts and hesitations. Jiang Rui felt something inside him like he was burning inside, another sobbing sound escaped his lips "I'm s-sorry" his voice cracked
Qui Yuan enveloped him more into his embrace. He already knew everything, even if it was already included in the system. Min Jiwoo investigated everything and told him about Jiang Rui's past, he already surrendered the camera to the police with the help of Min Jiwoo's connections. Even if he knew about this all along, he didn't even feel any guilt towards Jiang Rui, in fact he became angry at himself for not knowing this early.
"Rui" he paused, stroking the male's hair sobbing on his chest "It's not your fault, please don't blame yourself every time…" he uttered
Jiang Rui lifted up his head and faced Qui Yuan, their eyes locked.
"Come here" Qui Yuan cupped the male's cheeks above him and wipe his tears away "Don't cry, it's alright" then he kissed his forehead
Jiang Rui stopped from crying and faced the male once more with his sore eyes, they both sat properly on the bed, quietly. Trying to absorb the new atmosphere between them.
"A-Are you okay now?" Qui Yuan asked
Jiang Rui stayed silent, so the male beside him got worried again. Qui Yuan moved closer to Jiang Rui to check on him.
"Rui? Are you ok---"
Qui Yuan froze when Jiang Rui's damp lips met his lips. He was stupefied and shocked at the same time. Jiang Rui cupped his cheeks and deepened their kiss as they both fell on the bed once more, gasping for air.
"Yuan" Jiang Rui uttered, controlling the hotness that was overtaking him "Yuan, I want to sh--"
Qui Yuan put his index finger on Jiang Rui's lips "Sssshhh.." he said. Instead he wrapped his arms around the male's neck with a smile on his face.
Jiang Rui was surprised by what Qui Yuan did to him, his face turned red immediately. He was embarrassed and shy from starting that thing. When Qui Yuan pulled him closer, his shampoo invaded his nose. It was enchanting him to do more to Qui Yuan.
Qui Yuan caressed Jiang Rui's right cheek "Rui…" he mumbled "Show me another side of you"
