Yunlan and Hong are walking side by side, she's checking her phone when she hears him murmur, "Yezun..."

Yunlan's eyes are peacefully wandering around when they land on a known figure, that face is so imprinted in his mind that there's no chance he might be mistaken. He murmurs his name and starts walking in his direction.

~~~

Yezun walks out of the apartment with his brother's money in his pocket. He's not really planning on buying anything, but one can never know when he might need it, so he took it anyway before going out.

He didn't take much, only what he might need if he suddenly gets hungry. He doesn't even have his wallet with him, he left it on the table as he often does.

Wei has scolded him for it once, but what use could he have for a wallet here, when there's nothing in it?

He starts walking aimlessly, feeling the air on his face and looking for inspiration for his art, when suddenly he raises his head hearing someone call his name.

He sees a young man with a beautiful girl coming towards him. The guy is smiling. "Hello Yezun, do you remember me?" he asks expectantly.

Yezun looks at him but can't really remember when or if he ever met him.

The guy adds, "We... met a couple of weeks ago," but that doesn’t help him much, Yezun still doesn't remember him, but doesn't want to be rude so he says, "Oh yeah, I'm sorry but I'm not good with faces, you are...?”

The guy stiffens before replying: "Yunlan. My name is Yunlan."

Yezun looks at him puzzled, then shifts his gaze towards the girl who hasn’t yet said a word. "And she's your girlfriend, I guess?"

Yunlan grunts a "No" at the same time she says "Yes."

They look at each other, then he says: "Yes" and she says "No."

Yezun laughs. "You guys might wanna talk about that."

Yunlan frowns, he doesn't like that careless attitude, doesn't Yezun care at all if he has a girlfriend?

Yezun looks at him with an inquisitive look and Yunlan simply introduces her as Hong. Yezun kisses her hand with a little smile that Hong finds quite charming but that is quite annoying to Yunlan, who has to resist the temptation to shove that hand far away from his lips.

After a few meaningless pleasantries, Yezun seems ready to leave but Yunlan can’t let him go just like that, not after waiting so long to see him again, so he suggests getting a coffee together.

Yezun notices that both of them look at him with a certain something in their eyes and he laughs again, ‘this is going to be fun’ he thinks inwardly and agrees.

With Yunlan on his left and Hong on his right, he giggles and walks merrily until they reach a coffee bar; they find a table and sit down.

Yezun quickly changes his mind, he's not having fun, he feels like under a microscope now, and he would really like to remember when and where he met this guy and what could he possibly have told him because the guy keeps looking at him with a weird expression on his face.

A waiter arrives to take their order, and then comes back with their coffees. They take their cups and for a moment there’s an awkward silence.

Yezun says, "You invited me, you know," and Yunlan notices the waiter with the bill in his hand and murmurs something a little embarrassed before handing him the money.

Yezun chuckles, he did think about paying for the coffees, but then he thought that using his brother's money for himself was one thing, using it for someone he doesn't even know is another!

"So, tell me more about you two," he says to start a conversation, because the silence is making him a little uncomfortable now.

"We are engaged, " Yunlan says staring at him, gaining a shocked glance from Hong. What's that all about?

Hong shifts uncomfortably on her seat but Yunlan wishes to see if that news has any kind of effect on him.

Yezun frowns. "Really? You seemed uncertain about that point before."

"We are, we'll get married soon," he says again, staring at him, not caring about Hong's confused, and more than a little upset, glare.

"Well, congratulations then," he says, but doesn't really like the idea.

Yunlan wonders about that, and starts asking him about himself: Is he with someone? What does he do? Where does he live? Although Yunlan knows that already, he wants to see his reactions, if he remembers anything of ‘their night’.

When Yezun tells him where he lives, Yunlan says: "there's a club in that area, I used to go there quite often."

"I know it, I've been there a few times myself."

"I know, we met there."

Yezun doesn't know what to say, this guy is really weird. I must have made quite an impression on him he thinks, but he's always had quite a good opinion of himself so he accepts the fact easily.

He shrugs him off and turns his attention to Hong and asks her if she ever went there, but she says no.

"I thought so, I think I would remember it if I ever met you."

Hong smiles blushing a little, but Yunlan frowns. Not only Yezun doesn't remember anything about him, but he doesn't seem to care about him at all.

Doesn't he like him? Sure, that night he was really drunk, but he kissed him! Doesn't that mean that he found him attractive? Or was he so drunk that anyone would do? That last thought bothers him deeply.

Yezun starts talking with Hong, while Yunlan becomes moodier and moodier by the second. After a while, Yezun excuses himself, says that he liked to catch up more but now he really has to go.

Hong is very nice and Yezun doesn't have anything to do or anywhere specific he needs to go, but he's getting tired of being stared at like a rare specimen of bugs.

Yunlan is not satisfied, and he suggests going all together to the club to get a drink and have a bit of fun, and Hong seems to like the idea, she says she’d like it very much since she’s never been there, so Yezun thinks about it for a moment, smirks and agrees for tomorrow night.

He finds Yunlan really weird but he also thinks that he wouldn't mind seeing this girl again, after all.
