-20- The weekend

We spent the weekend in the best way for us, in the most comfortable and best way for us. We spent many hours in bed or in front of the fireplace. Zhan had even taught me how to light a fireplace and what to be aware of.

Otherwise we cooked together and picked out a song we wanted to perform. Actually the song is not a duet, but we make it a duet. I told Zhan that this is my favorite song and that it reminds me of him.

So Zhan agreed with the song and we started rehearsing it. And in between I taught Zhan some dance steps. He didn't want to do it at first, but then he finally gave in and still had fun.

On Saturday we also walked a little bit along the street but no matter how long we walked, we never got anywhere. No sign, no indication of any other people. Completely cut off from the outside world.

But at least we solved our signal problem with our cell phones. Well, sort of. We must have walked over a mile when we finally got a little signal on our phones.

We checked our messages, talked to our families and then we walked a little further, only to walk back the same way we came. I think if Zhan wasn't with me, I would die of loneliness out here.

I like being alone, but this is really too weird. With a car, at least we would have had a chance to go somewhere where there is human civilization.

On Sunday we went out on the bikes. This time we went in the direction we came from when we arrived. To be honest, unlike the other direction, this is a straight route and that's why we preferred it.

So with the bikes we rode along the road, further and further and further until we arrived at a field with yellow flowers. We placed the bikes and went to the field with the flowers, where we had a long break.

And while we were there in the flower field for about an hour, enjoying the warming rays of the sun and each other, not a single car drove along.

Always and everywhere with us, of course, the camera, too. Every now and then, here and there, we took a video and a few pictures and also in the flower field, Zhan took the video camera and turned once around in a circle to show everything around us.

When the sun was about to set, we went back to the hut with the bikes. And the further the sun disappeared, the cooler it got. And it was hard to believe. But it even started snowing.

We put the bikes in the shed and stayed outside for a while to enjoy the snow. It was incredible how much snow had fallen in such a short time.

But when it became unpleasantly cold, we went into the hut and warmed up at the fireplace.

For dinner we shared a pizza. I hadn't eaten pizza for ages. It had been so long ago that I could hardly remember the taste. Embarrassing, but true!

After dinner I sat down at the laptop, I downloaded the videos and pictures from the camera to the hard disk, wrote something on it and then sent everything to the production. Luckily there is at least a LAN network here.

While I was working with the pictures and the videos I didn't even notice how Zhan left. I got up and looked around, but he wasn't in the lower part of the house, in the living room and kitchen.

So I ran upstairs and looked in the bathroom first, but he wasn't there either. And then I opened the bedroom door and there he was, lying relaxed on the bed, playing with his cell phone.

I immediately jumped into bed with him. And then we stayed there.

Well, we stayed there until there was a sudden knock at the door late in the evening. At first we thought we were hearing things. But then there was another knock, and this time it was stronger. I jumped out of bed, got dressed quickly and ran downstairs to the door. But not without getting a fire rake first.

I opened the door with a sudden jerk and all of a sudden Seungyoun jumped into my arms. With him, his duet partner. Wooseok something. He came as a replacement for someone else. Also, with them was a production worker.

"Hello, Yibo, I'm sorry. But we need to bring Seungyoun and Wooseok to your place. I know there's not much room at your place, but unfortunately there's a problem with the accommodation where they were before. And you're the only ones who are close enough." The employee explained, while Seungyoun and Wooseok are already making themselves comfortable in front of the fireplace.

Zhan also came downstairs and the employee explained the situation to him as well. And Zhan's look was similar to mine. We weren't enthusiastic!

But since we have no other choice, we have to deal with it. And after all, Seungyoun is not only a member of my group, but also a good friend.

When the employee left, Wooseok introduced himself properly once again. I shook his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Wang Yibo." And when Zhan wanted to shake hands with him, Wooseok took him in his arms.

I cleared my throat and pulled Zhan over to me and then behind me. "This is Xiao Zhan, my duet partner." I say and Seungyoun gives me a mocking look.

"And why do you push him right behind you like he's your boyfriend and you're jealous?" Seungyoun asked me and smirked.

"Leave him alone. Everyone can see what's going on between them." Replies Wooseok and punches Seungyoun in the arm.

"I, um. Well..." I start and am immediately interrupted by Wooseok.

"You two are together, all right. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. But I think if your fans knew that you two are really a couple, they'd freak out with joy." Explains Wooseok.

My politely and courteously educated Zhan asks them if they are hungry or thirsty and offers them something immediately.

And now we also had to discuss how to solve the sleeping situation. Seungyoun suggested that we all share the bed after he saw how big it is. Zhan said he could also sleep on the sofa and I immediately said that this would definitely not happen.

Wooseok shook his head and then said, "Seungyoun and I will sleep down here by the fireplace. The place is warm and looks cozy and Zhan stays upstairs in the bedroom with Yibo. As a couple, they should have privacy." In the end we all agreed with that.

And while we sat there talking, I noticed the look Seungyoun gave his duet partner. I wonder if more will develop soon? I'll observe the whole thing a bit.

After the sleeping situation was cleared up, Zhan brought the two pillows and blankets that were in the closet upstairs and then we went upstairs into the bedroom.

"You know what's really stupid about this is?" I ask Zhan when I hold him in my arms in bed.

"No, what?"

"Now we can't be as loud as we want."

"You pervert. Is that all you have on your mind?"

"That and many other things I can do with you." I answer and kiss Zhan.

I don't really care who we have to share our house with as long as I can fall asleep every night with Zhan in my arms. And as long as we don't have to pretend.
