"Yah Tao." Kris yelled. 

"Mm?" The other guy answered. 

"I love you."  

With that, the younger guy smiled at what the older said. It's always been like this for the past two years. They got into fights, arguments but they only

got stronger. They promised that they would never leave each other's side no matter what happens. They were unbreakable. 

"Hey Tao, why did you cry last night?" Kris asked. 

Tao snorted. "Haha, as if you didn't cry."  

"I really didn't. You're the one who was sobbing all throughout the movie. My shirt was drenched with your snot and tears!" Kris laughed.  

"You cried too picasso. You were clenching your fists along with it. Don't deny it." Tao said with a smirk. 

They were arguing when Tao's phone rang. He stood up from his seat and moved a bit to the side, so he could have some privacy since he saw who

the caller was. It was his dad who barely talked to him, barely acknowledged him as his son. 

His father just couldn't accept the fact that his only son fell in love with his business partner's son. It was unbelievable since he thought that his son

was straight and so is Kris, but all of those are just make-believes, 'cause they ended up being in a relationship with each other and Tao's parents are

so against it. 

"Hi dad." Tao answered. 

"Tao, you need to meet me today. At my office. 4pm. It's important. If you don't come, I will surely remove you from the family register. I will

officially disown you." His father commanded, Tao was trembling when he answered yes then pressed the end call button. He didn't know why his

father was like that to him. They didn't speak for ages, for God's sake! Then he'll call and just yell at him over the phone? 

It was something important and he just can't stop himself from worrying about it. 

"Hey Zitao, what's wrong?" Kris asked and hugged him from behind. 

"It's nothing Kris." He answered and flashed a smile. The taller boy stared at his eyes, "I don't believe you. There is something going on. Tell me."

Kris commanded. 

"Nothing. It's just." Tao paused for a bit and saw Kris' worried look. 

"It's dad. He called but-" He was cut off by Kris. 

"What? You mean, Mr. Huang? Your dad? He called you? Why? I mean, he didn't contact you for years! What did he say?" Kris said continuously.  

"Hey big guy, calm down. I don't know, he just wanted me to be in his office tomorrow." Tao answered. 

Kris kissed his forehead. 

"I'll come with you." 

"No, you don't need to." 

"Yes, I do. I'm your boyfriend and that's what good boyfriends do." 

"You need to follow what I say, that's what'll make you a perfect boyfriend." Tao said. Kris, as a sign of defeat, sighed and just enveloped Tao in a

hug. 

"Just promise me, you'll be forever mine okay?" Kris said, almost in a whisper.  

"I will Kris. I will." Zitao replied. 

----------------------------------------- 

"I told you already Huang Zitao, you will be marrying her by the end of this month!" Mr. Huang commanded. 

"But-" 

"No buts, mister. I am your father and I will be the one to be followed. I am the boss of you, do you understand that?" Mr. Huang said in a high

tone. 

"Yes, father." Zitao replied. 

"Father, may I ask a question?" Zitao added. His father just stared at him blankly, waiting for his next words. 

"What is the good thing to do when you're gonna get married to a person you do not love or you do not even know, then you'll be leaving someone

you truly love behind? Is that a good reason to jump off a 50-storey building? Will that be enough father?" Zitao said, with voice breaking off and

tears glistening in his eyes. 

"YOU ARE SUCH A DISGRACE IN THIS FAMILY, HUANG ZITAO! YOU GO STRAIGHTEN YOUR LIFE! I CANT BELIEVE THAT MY OWN SON FELL IN LOVE

WITH A GUY LIKE HIM! YOU WILL BE MARRYING TATIANA IN A WEEK! YOU GET OUT OF MY FACE RIGHT AWAY!" Mr. Huang shouted, his voice was

heard even outside his office. Tao ran away as fast as he could, sobbing. How can this happen? He loved Kris, he loves Kris and he will love Kris for

the rest of his life, only him. But why does he need to be re-arranged with a girl he didn't even know? Isn't it cruel? How can he even disobey his dad?

Nobody knows what he could do, he can ask somebody to kill a certain someone, he can make a company lose all of it's profits, make it go bankrupt,

and things like that. He knew that if he disobeyed his father, he would no longer be a Huang anymore and Kris' life and their company might get in

danger.

He just decided that he cannot let Kris know. He just can't. Because it will just crush Kris' heart.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey babe. So, what did Mr. Huang said to ya?" Kris asked.

"I-it was nothing important. H-he just asked how I was doing." Zitao answered.

Kris got uncomfortable about Tao's attitude. He knew something was wrong but he just shrugged it off since he believed that his boyfriend will soon

tell him what it is.

"I love you Zitao. Always and forever." Kris said.

It made Tao flinch a bit. It was like he wasn't used to this kind of sweetness, he was too nervous. 

"I-I love you t-too Kris." Zitao replied, leaving the always and forever behind.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zitao became too nervous each day passed, making himself conscious about his every move and every word that would come out of his mouth. He

seemed to obvious and Kris just waited.

Waited for him to tell what's going on. But that day never came.. Zitao never spoke about it.

"Why didn't you tell me Zitao? Why do I need to hear it from your father?" Kris was trembling, he was too shocked about what he heard from that phone call.

"I'm s-sorry. I-I'm sorry." Tao said, hands shaking. His eyes blurring because of the tears that were soon to come.

"GOD DAMN IT HUANG ZITAO! WHY!? Is this the reason why you were too preoccupied the past days? Is this the reason why you were fidgeting

when I say I love yous? Ziato, I thought you loved me!" Kris was now crying. Not knowing what to do after he just heard that the love of his life was

gonna be marrying somebody else. 

He didn't know it was this serious. He was clueless.

"I love you Kris! You know that! I love you! B-but I can't disobey dad's orders! I can't. I'm sorry Kris. I'm so s-sorry." Tao said, he was trying to pull

Kris into a hug but Kris pushed him away.

"Do you really love me Tao?" Kris looked up at the crying Tao and asked.

"I do Kris. I really do. I love-" Tao was cut off by Kris' lips crashing against his.

"Then call off the wedding. Don't accept the marriage." Kris ordered.

It's been three days. 

No calls. No text. No anything. Is this a sign? Should I let you go?

Kris thought to himself. After the night he knew, he let Zitao think. Then the next day, Ziato left to have a talk with his father but it ended up like this. Tao

never contacted him after. Is this the end? 

Maybe he's already happy. Maybe he liked his fiancee after all. What about me Tao? What about me? 

"I love you Kris. Only you. Always and forever, Wu Yifan."

"Always and forever, Huang Zitao."

I held on to those words because I cannot accept the fact that he'll soon marry a girl and leave me behind. Leave us behind, it hurts too much. Maybe I

can endure the pain as long as he's happy. I know he can't disobey his father but does it need to go down this way? 

"Kris!" Tao yelled when he busted the door open. 

Kris was too shocked, he's here. He's here. Tao was wearing a tuxedo, looking formal and it suited him well. But knowing that he's dressed like this

because he was gonna get married, it was too painful. 

Kris hurriedly ran to where Zitao is and enveloped the smaller guy in his arms. Feeling the warmth. He missed this. He missed Zitao.

"I'm sorry Kris. I'm sorry but I can't. I can't." Tao said, almost in a whisper. He felt hot tears ran down his neck, Tao's tears.

I think it's time to let you go, Huang Zitao.

Tao broke away from the hug, his eyes were red and nose too. Tears were streaming down his face endlessly. He was saying endless I love yous to

Kris and Kris was just doing the same.

Maybe you don't need me anymore, Tao.

"There are too many things that we're unsure of Tao. Maybe I still don't quite understand why you still chose to leave me..." Kris chuckled

lightly. "But there's only one thing I'm sure of.. There's no one in this world I could ever love more than I loved you and I know that no one else

could ever make me happy like you did." Kris said as he kissed Zitao.. Tears fell down his eyes knowing that it was their last kiss.

"Please don't give me a reason to want you back." Even though there are millions of reasons.

"Don't cry because it makes me want to hug you." I just want to hug you and never let go.

"Stop making me want to kiss you." Because I just want to drown you in my kisses that you'll

change your mind and just come with me.

"Tell me Tao please, tell me you love me." I just want to hear it from you for the last time.

Kris asked as they broke away from the kiss.

"I love you Kris. Only you. I'm so sorry." Tao said.. He made his way for the door, silently sobbing. He went without looking back. He was afraid that he

might just run away with Kris and just ditch the wedding if he looked back.

I know I can't be with you, Tao. But I hope you know that I won't love anybody else except you. Only you.

I love you Huang Zitao. Goodbye.
