as the days passed by xiao zhan and wang yibo got closer often visiting eachother, spending time together, even long drives they just love spending time together.
The autumn breeze carried the sweet scent of ripe fruits as Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan strolled through the vibrant streets. Their weekly music sessions had blossomed into casual outings, deepening their connection.
One crisp evening, Zhan texted Yibo: "Want to catch a movie with me? New cinema downtown."
"Sounds awesome!" he replied, trying to sound calm he loves spending time with his and falling for him again and again.
At the cinema, they laughed together during a rom-com, sharing a bucket of popcorn. Yibo couldn't help but steal glances at Zhan's profile, admiring his smile. Their legs touched briefly, who knew yibo was deliberately touching him. he was mostly happy when he is with Zhan.
during weekdays they behave as professor student being all serious about the upcoming event and practicing and later sometimes at Zhan's.
The next weekend, they explored a nearby festival. Zhan taught Yibo how to make traditional lanterns, their hands touching as they worked together. Yibo was enjoying that well he did notice something and he was shocked somehow. Zhan was shy? what?, he always wonder about zhan's feelings towards him as he always asks him out to meals and other stuff maybe he is lonely. he thought to himself.
As they walked, Yibo realized his feelings for Zhan went beyond admiration. He felt at ease, happy, and excited whenever Zhan was near.
after getting all tired by roaming in the festival and doing this and that they decided to sit somewhere quite there was not a quite spot because of the festival so they just decided to sit somewhere far.
as they Settled. "Zhan, can I ask you something?" Yibo said, suddenly his voice barely above a whisper.
"Anything, Yibo," Zhan replied, looking at him with interest.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Yibo asked, trying to sound casual.
Zhan chuckled. "I think it's possible. But I believe love grows stronger with time, like a beautiful melody."
Yibo's felt sad somehow. He couldn't help but wonder if Zhan felt the same way.
As the festival lights twinkled around them, Yibo knew he was undeniably in love with Xiao Zhan.
xiao zhan noticed his sad face and suggested watching the piano performance at the festival.
They continued their stroll, pausing at a street performer's mesmerizing piano performance.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Zhan asked, his eyes elsewhere.
Yibo agreed, his eyes fixed on his professor.
The performer finished with a dramatic flourish. Zhan applauded, his eyes sparkling. "Let's grab dinner. I know a great spot."
Yibo agreed, holding in his emotions.
Over dinner, they shared stories and laughter. Yibo was thinking if he ever will be able to tell Zhan about his feelings.
As the night drew to a close, Zhan walked Yibo home. The autumn air carried a promise of new beginnings.
"Thanks for tonight, Zhan," Yibo said, his voice filled with gratitude.
Zhan smiled. "Anytime, Yibo. You make every day brighter."
at this point he just wanted to hug Zhan. He knew he couldn't hide his feelings forever.
Yibo couldn't shake off the feeling that Zhan was getting closer.

they definitely get along more than any professor student at uni and outside.
One evening, Zhan texted: "Hey, Yibo! Want dinner at my fave spot? Try their new noodles!"
Yibo agreed, and they met at "Tasty Wok," a cozy restaurant with colorful lanterns. Over steaming noodles, they chatted about everything. yibo was now somehow relaxed about the event and zhan reduced his practice sessions they don't practice at Zhan's place anymore yibo felt sad but happy because he was spending time with him.
Yibo shared stories about his family's weekend gatherings. Zhan listened attentively, asking questions. he praised about his mother's cooking targeting Zhan's love for dumplings he wanted zhan to meet his family.
"Your mom's cooking sounds amazing!" Zhan exclaimed. "I want to try her dumplings!" BINGO!
Yibo laughed. "Yeah, her dumplings are legendary! Maybe next family dinner?" he asked unsure of his answer praying to god for him to say yes. but he didn't answer to that. and yibo felt sad he's always been insecure about these matters.
as they finished their dinner Zhan payed as always and yibo was loving the princess treatment Zhan indeed was a husband material no wonder he fell for this gentleman.
They strolled through quiet streets, enjoying the crisp autumn breeze.
"dessert?" yibo said out of nowhere looking at zhan from the corner of his eyes. Zhan smiled at his actions.
"what would you like." Zhan asked yibo. "ummm icecream?" he said thinking. "ok let's get you an icecream then" he said smiling.
yibo waited for Zhan to bring icecream by his car Zhan brought him icecream eager to eat his icecream in hurry yibo ran towards him and tripped on Zhan making Zhan a icecream mess. he then stood quietly as Zhan cleaned himself.
Zhan chuckled. "You were a little troublemaker!"
Yibo grinned. "Guilty as charged!"
"ok, let me send you home then" Zhan said opening the car door.
yibo sat quietly in the car embarrassed.
As they drove to Yibo's place, the evening sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors. zhan noticed Yibo's eyes fixed outside the window.
Zhan pulled over on a serene bridge, overlooking the glittering city.
"Let's take in the view," Zhan said, turning off the engine.
Yibo nodded, and they stepped out onto the bridge. Zhan gazed up at the starry sky. "pretty, isn't it?" smiling eyes fixed on the beautiful sky.
"yes, pretty" Yibo replied, his voice barely above a whisper, eyes filled with love looking at him.
They stood side by side, taking in the night's beauty.
"even the moon's full today it's beautiful isn't it" he looked at Zhan still smiling.
zhan nodded , yibo thinking he probably don't know the meaning behind this felt sad. "let's go now it's cold" yibo said and zhan agreed. The night air carried a gentle breeze. Yibo felt at peace, sharing this moment with Zhan.
"Thanks for tonight, Zhan," Yibo said. Zhan smiled. They returned to the car.
As they pulled up to Yibo's apartment. Zhan turned to him. "Goodnight." Yibo smiled. he wanted to say more but couldn't. "Goodnight."
