"Your Maeuntang soup sir. Enjoy it while it's hot." A waiter who served the soup for Xiao Xing, smiled looking at both of them and moved out as soon as he said it to them.
"A-Yuan, I hope you are liking the food. I know you love Korean food so much." Xie Jayden said while taking a sip of his soup which he specifically got made by special fish that he got fresh from the seawater.
"But Jay gege, you did not need to do so much for me. Why do you take so much effort for me? Your company is more than enough for me." Xiao Xing said when he saw the soup that was placed in front of him which was almost the fifth course of the dinner that night.
"No. A-Yuan, this everything is nothing in front of you. I just want to make up for all years when I ignored you." Xie Jayden said and look down for a second to take a breath.
"A-Yuan, I am sorry for everything that I never did for you. I am sorry for all the lost happiness. I am sorry for all the unhappy moments because of my stupidity. Now I have realised one thing that is even these millions of stars can't amount to you."
Xie Jayden said while looking directly into Xiao Xing's eyes and that made Xiao Xing gulp down the painful thought of not being a Mo Yuan. How much he wanted to become Mo Yuan at that time was nothing compared to any wish in this world for him.
"Yes, I am late to understand this fact. I realised what you meant to me when I lost you in that accident. It is just my good luck is still with me that I got you back again in my life."
As Xie Jayden said it, the sip of soup that Xiao Xing was about to take in got stuck in his throat and he started to cough hard because of it.
"A-Yuan, are you okay?"
When Xie Jayden saw Xiao Xing was coughing so hard, he got up from the chair fast and almost ran to him. He started to caress his back and with another hand, he gave him the glass of water to drink. When the cough lessened a bit, he gestured to Xie Jayden that he is okay.
"Hey, you scared me, A-Yuan. Are you feeling okay?" Xie Jayden one more time asked him while he went away and sat on his chair.
"Yes, Jay gege, I am all right now. It is just that the soup went in the food pipe. Nothing serious. But this soup is so tasty. I loved it so much." Xiao Xing said, trying to change the topic of Mo Yuan into something that he won't feel bad for the beautiful night that he wanted only for himself.
"Oh, you love this soup then it is worth taking all the efforts for night. You know this is that Pollock fish that they import from the Atlantic Ocean." Xie Jayden said when Xiao Xing took few sips of the soup but his gaze that was on Xiao Xing captured something strange for his eyes.
While here listening to the name of the fish, the spoon that was in Xiao Xing's hand fell with the sound of ding and Xie Jayden starlet abruptly between his noticing the changes in Xiao Xing's face.
"A-Yuan, what happened? Is your hand slipped?" He said while looking at Xiao Xing's hand but when his gaze again went on Xiao Xing's face, his face went pale.
"A-YUAN, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" Xie Jayden shouted and he went near Xiao Xing whose face turned into a crimson colour within few seconds and his lips got swelled a bit fuller than his normal shape.
"Jay... Gege, Jay...I am allergic to that fish...Pollard fish...My skin...I can't speak...My tongue goes..."The only few words that made sense to Xie Jayden were that Xiao Xing was allergic to Pollard fish.
"Oh shit! But A-Yuan, I never knew you were allergic to fish or you were allergic to anything that we eat ever. You were never allergic to anything. We must go to the doctor." Xie Jayden rationalized while calling Zhao Zhang on the phone.
"Zhao Zhang, get the car ready right now. No, we are having an emergency. Tell the doctor that Mo Yuan got an allergic reaction because of Pollard fish. His whole skin has turned red. His lips are swelled a bit and his tongue...it it...I don't know what happened but I can't understand the word he is speaking. It's like a year old baby is speaking. Just tell him all the symptoms."
Stopping to take Xiao Xing into his embrace. "Zhao Zhang, I don't want to waste a single minute now. I am coming down right away. Get my car ready. Inform the doctor fast."
Both of them went down by lift and in front of the open door, they saw a car waiting to get going. They went near the car at a fast speed as Xie Jayden was almost dragging Xiao Xing to the car and he almost put Xiao Xing to sit in the car. When Xiao Xing sat near Xie Jayden, he one more time took his hands in his hands and apologised to Xiao Xing.
"A-Yuan, I am sorry. This is all my fault. When they asked me about the fish, I specifically asked them to get the Pollard fish which they always get from the Pacific coastal areas." His eyes went red as the thing he remembered those happened in the past with him and Mo Yuan.
"No. No. Jay gege, It is just an allergic reaction. It will go away in few hours. It is not life-threatening." Xiao Xing tried hard to make Xie Jayden understand a lot but no matter how hard he tried in the whole ride, Xie Jayden kept on cursing himself as he never understood what Xiao Xing was speaking to him.
When they reached the hospital, the whole hospital got into a panic knockdown when in the emergency all doctors thought was a poisonous reaction to many patients but it turned out that it was just a single patient who had an allergic reaction that was treatable by any newcomer doctor of the hospital.
After medical treatment when they treated Xiao Xing, they asked to take him home but, Xie Jayden kept adamant about keeping Xiao Xing in the VIP room for an overnight checkup.
"Jay gege, This is okay. Let's go home. See, it's not bad now. This takes some time to go entirely. It is just looking bad. My allergies are not painful or life-threatening."
When Xiao Xing felt a bit better with a shot of medication and he felt his speech was now understandable he immediately asked Xie Jayden to take him home but to his dismay, he got denied for it in the clear term. Xie Jayden sat near him and taking his hand in his, he looked deeply into his eyes.
"A-Yuan, I am sorry that I always gave preference to other things in my life that I even don't know you are allergic to something. I was bad with you, right? Isn't it funny that I just said a few cheesy lines to you about how much you mean to me when I don't even know how to protect you?"
His eyes sparkled as moisture got collected in them and that pained in Xiao Xing's heart.
"No, gege, all those things don't matter because I know at heart you are feeling more pain than me for my condition." Xiao Xing said when he pressed Xie Jayden's hand that was holding his hand.
"Then A-Yuan, those words are mere for namesake?" His eyes were still at Xiao Xing's when his mind was unsettled at his thoughts.
"No, they meant everything to me but even if you won't say them or do anything for me I will always know that this heart belongs to me, only me." Xiao Xing answered Xie Jayden's question but somewhere in his heart he too understood the reality of that answer.
Was Xie Jayden in love with Mo Yuan ever that he effortlessly turned everything to his side or this was just a mirage that showed him the beautiful dream ahead.
His mind got occupied by the two thoughts at the same time fighting hard to claim that it was right but soon they got disturbed by the voice that made his heart at peace and chaos at the same time by the answers he needed to give to all of them about his allergies who know everything of him.
