The five male leads visited Yunyu every day, while Sakuma accompanied him every chance he got when there was no patient. Two days passed, and Yunyu was discharged.

"Sakuma, this is my number. You can call me anytime soon. Remember, you still have a permanent spot in my heart, so I will never abandon you," Yunyu gave Sakuma a scrap of paper containing his number and house address before he left the hospital. 

"I will call you often and visit your duplex, Amano-San. I will extend my stay in China," Sakuma said.

"Hush, you should refer to me as Bai Yunyu in this world. You can only call me as Amano-San in private, okay?"

"Yes!"

Bai Yunyu was picked up by Mu Ronghui, as he was the one who lived near Yunyu's duplex. 

Ronghui opened the door for Yunyu, and they drove back to Yunyu's duplex.

"I've cleaned your duplex while you're hospitalized," Mu Ronghui said. "I'm sorry I haven't said it to you. I took the duplicate key you gave to my Grandma and went inside your duplex."

"Don't worry, I didn't take anything. I just don't want you to work just after you get discharged. You need a lot of rest," Mu Ronghui said. 

"Ah, it's fine then," Yunyu smiled. "Thank you, Ronghui."

"Anything for you, Yunyu, but…." Mu Ronghui pondered for a moment, thinking whether this would be a proper question, but he got nothing to lose for this one. "Yunyu, I found a lot of Han Ye merchandise everywhere. It's so many that I already lost count. I just want to ask whether you will keep it after what happened."

"I will keep it," Yunyu replied quickly. "Even if Han Ye Gege treats me like an animal, I will still support him. But I will follow what you and the rest of the guys told me. I will not approach or disturb him anymore. I will keep my distance away from him, so I can work for myself while keep supporting him silently."

Mu Ronghui wanted to say that he shouldn't support a bastard like Han Ye at all. But that wasn't possible. Yunyu already repeated himself many times that he had no control over his own feeling. 

That he was a slave to his own heart. 

Mu Ronghui drove in silence until they reached the front yard of Yunyu's duplex, "Bai Yunyu, tell me if you need something, alright? I will always stay alert if you need any help. What I mean any is ANYthing, okay?"

"Sure, sure, you're worrying too much, hehe," Yunyu giggled and pecked Ronghui's cheek, giving a light kiss. "I'll leave now, thanks, Ronghui!"

Ronghui was stunned, even if Yunyu only kissed him as a sign of friendship, or maybe a small intimacy, but it wavered his heart. He wanted to grab Yunyu's hand, begging him to stay, but he knew that was impossible.

In the end, Mu Ronghui only watched Yunyu's back as he entered the duplex, lamenting over his fate that he might never be able to embrace Yunyu as a lover. 

"Fate is truly a cruel thing," Mu Ronghui mumbled.

**

Bai Yunyu inhaled deeply as he entered his house. It was only two days, but he felt like an eternity because he missed his peaceful life here, as a broke young man, worshipping Han Ye Gege with all the merchandise. 

"Ah, at least Ronghui didn't do anything to all the merchandise. It'd go absolutely nuts if he did," Yunyu said. 

He walked to the living room and sat on the sofa for a while before checking his phone that ran out of battery. 

The moment his phone turned on again, the first thing he saw was hundreds of recent missed calls from Jia Jie. He frowned as he wondered whether he was in trouble or what?

Thus, Yunyu called her back, and after a few beeps, Jia Jie picked up the call.

"Hello, Jia Jie, is there something happening?" Yunyu asked. "You called me so many times."

"Yunyu…" Jia Jie's voice trembled on the phone, which alerted Yunyu immediately. 

"J—Jie? Is everything alright? Did something happen in these two days?"

"Yunyu, you know what happened, right? You're right there…." Jia Jie said, mentioning the brawl between Lee Taewoo and Han Ye Gege in the restaurant. 



"I'm sorry, Jia Jie. It's all my fault," Yunyu took the blame in default, afraid that Jia Jie might be fighting with Han Ye Gege again and risking her job once more. 

No matter how bad it was, Jia Jie shouldn't be wasting that job because she really needed the money for her mom's medication in the hospital. 

"I accidentally insulted Han Ye Gege and… um… Han Ye Gege must've felt so insulted that he got angry. Then my friend Lee Taewoo punched him. I'm sorry, Jie, it's all my fault. You shouldn't confront Han Ye Gege about this, okay?"

Honestly, Yunyu felt a lot easier to blame himself for something like this because he was used to being blamed for everything that happened with Han Ye Gege. 

[As long as Han Ye Gege is happy, I guess…]





"Jia Jie?"

"Bai Yunyu, I'm not an idiot, I asked the restaurant owner immediately, and he told me the story. Look, I don't want you to blame yourself for something you can't control. It's Han Ye that is making trouble with you," Jia Jie said, but her voice was shaky as if she was trying to deliver something heavy. 

"Jie, your voice is so shaky. Are you really okay?"

"… Bai Yunyu…"

"Yes?"

"My mom is in critical condition and in need of a lot of money for surgery," Jia Jie said. She was on the verge of crying right now because she truly didn't want to do this, if not because of the condition surrounding her.

Because she would hurt Yunyu with her own hands and hurt such a kind young man.

"Can you help me? Please meet me at the address that I will share with you soon. Don't come with anyone, just yourself.. It's something important."
