A THREAD BETWEEN US EP 15

EP 15

Jinyuan's throats tighten

He reaches out slow and careful

But Yuxi turns his face away and that kills Jinyuan

Lin Jinyuan

*lowers his hand*

Lin Jinyuan

You’re not in the background, Ah-Xi . You were never behind anyone. Not Zhenyu. Not anyone.

Lin Jinyuan

You matter to me always

Lin Yuxi

*shakes head*

Lin Jinyuan

*wraps his arms around Yuxi*

Lin Jinyuan

let me fix it, please don't shut me out

Lin Jinyuan

[Dad, I am sorry I made you feel this way]

Lin Yuxi

*leans into Jinyuan's chest eyes closed*

Lin Yuxi

Don't leave me behind *whispers*

he whispers quietly Jinyuan barely hears it

Next morning

Jinyuan wakes up, sitting in a chair beside Yuxi’s bed.

Lin Jinyuan

*checks the time*

Lin Jinyuan

Shit! time is almost up

Lin Jinyuan

*sees Yuxi still sleeping*

Lin Jinyuan

I guess we are skipping school today

meanwhile

Zhenyu steps out of his room, slow. Tired. He looks toward the kitchen.

Lin Zhenyu

where is he?

Butler Sheng

Young master Jinyuan is in young master Yuxi's room, master Zhenyu

Lin Zhenyu

*clench jaw*

Zhenyu walks back to his room

Lin Zhenyu

He already did enough for me....but why do I want more

later in the afternoon

Lin Jinyuan

You two, eat your food

Lin Zhenyu

*quiet*

Lin Yuxi

*quieter*

Lin Jinyuan

Can we just be okay for a while?

Lin Yuxi

If you stay

Lin Zhenyu

If you don't leave

both of them speak together

Lin Jinyuan

I am not going anywhere *smiles softly*

He ruffles their hair with his both hands

.....

at night, in Jinyuan's room

Lin Jinyuan

*sits at the edge of the bed*

Lin Jinyuan

I am so fucking tired

Lin Jinyuan

*breaks down in silent tears*

[Some people save others from drowning while quietly sinking themselves, and no one ever notices until they’ve already drowned in silence] -anonymous

Next morning

Lin Yuxi

*walks upto the diner table*

Lin Zhenyu

*comes after Yuxi*

Both of them look for Jinyuan who is nowhere to be seen

Lin Yuxi

Where is Gege?

Butler Sheng

He went to grocery shopping, young master

Lin Zhenyu

It can be done by the servants too, why does he need to go *raises eyebrows*

As they there throwing cold daggers at the butler, Jinyuan enters

Lin Jinyuan

What happened?

Lin Yuxi

Ge, why did you leave early in the morning?

Lin Jinyuan

Well...cause I brought you guys cake *smiles brightly*
