Black ~ A ¥iZhan Lov€ $tory

Ke¥Nötes

They say love has no definition,
But in my world it does,
It's starts with you,
It ends with you.

As the bow caresses the violin,
Your soul gives life to mine,
Words won't ever suffice,
But know that as long as I live,
Every music of mine will be solely yours,
For if not you, there is no I.

Wang Yibo's POV:

Tears.

I could not stop them from falling. He truly made me speechless with his declaration. Neither did I bother to wipe them, for they were true as my feelings for him. Xiao Zhan.

My Zhan Ge.

I should have known when Omma asked me to accompany her and watch television, that there is something brewing. In this house, in so many months that I have been here, not once have I observed anyone watching television. Now I knew the reason. They wanted me to watch my Zhan Ge walk on the red carpet of the prestigious award show in South Korea.

The moment he stepped out of the car, I held in my gasp. To say he looked sexy would be an understatement. Him posing for the paparazzi, walking with his head held up high, the camera zooming on him and not giving a damn, he looked uber cool. But I knew my Zhan Ge. He has his own tells. Him subtly chewing his lower lip or tapping his knee, I knew he was uncomfortable. He would be, afterall this isn't like him. He does not like to be exposed to so many people. He loves to be in his own world.

This, he's doing it for me. For us.

"This is for you. I live you" his declaration.

I live you.

Zhan Ge.

I have been living you from the moment this soul heard your music. I have been living you from the moment I heard your voice. I live you too.

There was nothing I could do to stop my tears from trailing down.

"Since the time my baby boy learnt to crawl, the first thing he did was pick up his father's flute" I turn to look at Omma who was subtly wiping her tears. With a smile her gaze meets mine "Yibo, my baby boy never once asked me why his world is so dark when everyone else can experience varied colours. That child never once cried out of sadness. For him his world is all about music. Except for Mikhail, he never had any friends. He never needed anyone else. He's always been self-sufficient in many ways that he was the one to teach Kim and me, how wonderful his own small world is. Yibo, for that soul nothing was grey. He believed everyone were good and that no one could hurt him. Kim and I wanted to believe the same and that was probably one of the reason that we accepted Zu Feng. Both our hearts knew that he was not right for our baby, but often for a child's happiness, parents go beyond their intuition".

I move closer to Omma and give her a warm hug. Placing her head on my shoulders, she continues "The night he came back with those scars, battered and bruised, I couldn't bear to see him in pain. He didn't want to press charges against Feng. He said his feelings were true towards Feng and filing charges meant him questioning his faith. We didn't want to burden Zoo so we dropped the matter. Maybe we shouldn't have, because after that incident, my Zoo changed. He didn't have anything more to do with this world. He immersed himself into music. That became his sole purpose of living, until you came along".

Lifting her head from my shoulder, her gaze meets mine "Yibo, when Zoo was young, he used to often accompany me to the University. There he found his solace, especially there is this one room, he christened it as the Chime Room. The room where one would always find Zoo playing during the after hours of school. The room's plan opens up to the sea. One day he brought this glass chime and asked me to hang it for him, he says when he hears them, it inspires him" at that moment I realised it was the same room when I saw him for the first time.

"Do you know why Kim and I got attached to you so soon?" Omma enquires and I shake my head "Because when you're around his smile for you is the same smile that he has for his music. You're his music, Yibo and no one can take that away from him. When he met you, he changed for the best. My baby has been wounded innumerable times and he never bothered to fight before but it all changed when you were attacked. That was when he decided to fight back. That Feng for whom he once let go, this time for your sake he did not. He has sued every single person who has posted malicious comment against you. Why? Because for that child, you're his everything. My son is a patient man but if you stand between someone he values, one has to be ready for his wrath" taking my hand in hers, she smiles warmly "thank you for being there with him".

Kissing my forehead, she stands to leave when I stop her "Aren't you going to watch the entire show?".

"No, from here on its solely for you. If I watch the show any further, I'd feel like an intruder" with a wink she walks away and I continue to watch the entire ceremony with a big smile plastered on my face.

When he's called upon to sing the song from his latest drama, I won't lie. I swooned. That's my man right there.

The award ceremony was coming to an end and I was to switch off the television when I received a message from Mikhail.

~ Please continue watching, the show ain't over yet. There is one more event. ~

One more event? Cryptic much?

Waiting for the next event to start, I was busy browsing through the net to find more pictures of Zhan Ge when I heard the MC greeting the viewers.

"Welcome one and all. To commemorate the success of the event, organizers have arranged for a small press conference where the media would post the most famous and frequently asked questions and they would be answered by Mr. Li Sean".

Wait! What? 

Zhan Ge is going to answer questions? This ought to be good!
