wait for me to grow up

Huang Zitao, who returned to Korea from Indonesia, has changed from the sluggishness he had when he came here, and has become a vigorous kung fu boy again. This makes Jin Junmian very happy, which is manifested in the big smile that hangs on his face all day long in the dormitory.

Bai Xian couldn't take it anymore, so he just nestled into the kitchen and looked eagerly at Jingxiu who was preparing dinner.

"What do you want to do?"

"Jingxiu, can't you talk to Brother Junmian? My heart can't bear him laughing like this all day long."

"..." Du Jingxiu looked at him in horror.

Bai Xian is pitifully cute, Du Jingxiu gets goosebumps when he sees it, wishing he could kill him with a frying pan!

Just when a violent scene was about to take place in the kitchen, someone in the living room outside was grabbing the remote control for fun, and Junmian's not-so-active voice to stop it, "Oh, it's okay, stop making trouble !"

Huang Zitao was very "obedient" sitting in the middle of the sofa, watching Kim Jong Dae bravely challenging exo's "power center" Wu Sehun, he was so excited that he poured a glass of Coke from the refrigerator and went back to watch it, just like watching a movie.

Wu Shixun moved out of his identity as a maknae and longed for Zhong Da Neng to let him, Jin Zhong rolled his eyes, "Although I don't want to say it that much, but the maknae, can I change the channel if you look normal? , and cartoons~ Do your fans make all of them?"

"It's not a cartoon! It's an anime, an anime~" Wu Shixun writhed like a crazy kelp.

"Brother Junmian, do you think he is crazy?" A certain panda giggled.

"I think so." Although Jin Junmian agreed with his mouth, what Jin Junmian thought in his heart was: Tao, don't you see that Sehun's movements look familiar?That's obviously what I learned from you.

Huang Zitao and Ma Ma happily discussed the crazy Wu Shixun kelp. Lu Han followed Zhang Yixing and came back with a lot of food. Lu Han took the lead and yelled, "Today, Master Lu will give you an extra meal~" He went there gracefully Sitting down, I felt the adoring eyes from Huang Zitao.

Zhang Yixing stared fiercely at a proud deer, expressing 12 points of disapproval, "Lu Han, did you forget that I also invested in it?"

"Ah, Director Zhang, I'm really sorry. After all, I'm the chairman, and you are busy with things..."

"Come on!" Wu Shixun looked contemptuously at the two who were discussing how many shares he would own, "Just wrap rice with seaweed, are you okay?"

"Wait until when you buy it for us, can you say that again?" Luhan was not reconciled, what's wrong with this?A grain of rice also costs money!

"Wait when I'm not a maknae anymore, if I were a brother, I'd buy a big meal for my brother! Hmph!"

Immediately, Huang Zitao agreed.

Just wait until we are not youngest~

"I won't be stubborn with you!" Lu Han turned his head, "Old Zhang, why hasn't Wu Yifan come up yet? Did he get separated?"

"Who knows..." While answering Luhan, Zhang Yixing looked at Huang Zitao and felt relieved when he found that he was not uncomfortable, "I guess I was looking at something else, I was exhausted carrying things, how can I care so much , I can’t lose it anyway.”

"Tao, go and look for it, and see why your brother hasn't come up yet?"

Huang Zitao stared blankly at Jin Junmian, what do you mean?Brother Junmian can't see what's going on for so many days?It's too late for me to hide, so tell me to go?This is not looking for trouble!

Just as he was trying to find a reason to fool him, when he touched Brother Junmian's eyes, the eyes were full of encouragement, and he immediately knew what Brother Junmian meant.He hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Shixun wanted to stop him, but Junmian grabbed him, "Let him go!"

"But brother..."

"Things always have to be resolved, right? Procrastination like this can only lead to bigger problems!"

"But Tao has been hiding for so long, now let him..."

"It's because I've been hiding here for a long time, Tao can solve it, don't you believe him?"

"..."

Looking up at Lu Han and Brother Yixing, they all agreed with each other.Zhong Da patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.Wu Shixun knew that he was too naive, and problems always had to be solved, Huang Zitao was better than him in this respect.That cute and soft panda has a kind of aggressiveness, he is timid but braver than anyone else.

Look, just like now, he is definitely unwilling, but he bravely solves the problem between him and that person.At least he, Wu Shixun, couldn't do this.

Not long after leaving the dormitory, he saw Wu Yifan pacing along the road wearing big sunglasses.There was no expression on his face, even his footsteps felt lazy, Huang Zitao stood there and looked at him.Thinking, what does the Wu Yifan I admire look like?Is it... the one in front of you?

The moment Wu Yifan saw Huang Zitao, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes were like a long thread, entangled and sticky.

What, are you not hiding?Wu Yifan looked at him.

Tao replied with his eyes, um, no more hiding.

The two looked at each other without speaking.

Until...until someone rushed out suddenly, the two accompanying girls moved up hesitantly and excitedly, couldn't restrain their little joy, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Excuse me, is this exo?"

Interrupted staring at each other, Wu Yifan had no choice but to answer with a smile, "Yes, hello."

"Ah, can I sign my autograph? Take a photo?"

"Signatures are fine, but taking pictures is not allowed by the company." She declined slightly.

But the girl still flipped through the book happily.

"But, is that... Tao?"

"Are you a martial artist?" The other girl was even more excited.

Huang Zitao didn't expect that he would still be recognized when he was wearing a peaked cap, so he had no choice but to raise his head to say hello.Hehe, the atmosphere is really...

In the end, both of them got their signatures, and the girl left with satisfaction.

Looking at Huang Zitao who was right next to him, Wu Yifan hesitated to speak, the distance for too long made him unable to even find a suitable opening sentence.Even if it's nothing, I feel embarrassed. The panda didn't show anything when there were fans present, but now... it turned slightly to the side, does it mean that it doesn't want to look directly?

"Tao..."

Before he could say anything, the excited voice of the little girl came in again.

"Hey, don't you think it's super cute?"

"Are you talking about those two people?"

"Yeah, just like that video, it's completely cultivated, Dafa~"

"The one crossing the road? I've seen it too~ Really, really, it's full of CP, so loving~"

…………

For a while, the atmosphere became more awkward.The two brain-loving little fans who disturbed a pool of spring water would not know that their words were heard by their brain-filling partners.

While Huang Zitao felt awkward, he felt even more embarrassed.It turns out that in the eyes of others, I really...is that so?In terms of nurturing or something, I'm not a child for a long time, am I?Could it be that from the perspective of outsiders, I have relied too much on that person.That's why...that's why...

Can't help but think of that person's fans.Not like this kind of cute smiling fans, but looking at me with the most venomous eyes, saying something that I couldn't think of at all...

"Tao..."

Huang Zitao suddenly smiled, "Captain, brother Junmian asked me to pick you up."

"...Tao, you..."

"I just want to go shopping, I'll wait for Xiaolu here and let him accompany me~"

"I can accompany you too."

"No need." Naturally, it was no longer avoiding, but refusing.

"..."

"It's agreed to go shopping with Xiaolu, just the two of us." Huang Zitao nodded slightly, as if agreeing with himself.He told himself that this wasn't about ending a relationship, it was about changing a relationship.He never thought that these things could change himself and the people around him, but so many people criticized him, or because there was something wrong, he thought about it carefully.

So, no one can make them end when they haven't changed each other.The change is only because the current him and the current self are no longer suitable for the previous mode of getting along.

The self who is eager to grow up, and Wu Yifan who still regards himself as a child in his hands.If the relationship between them is left alone, it may end up being worse. It's better to change handsomely and neatly from now on.

In the past... I also regarded myself as a child, thinking that being dependent is a very beautiful thing.But now it seems that this kind of dependence can sometimes become deformed if you are not careful, and mutual is the best.Just like a triangle, isosceles are the most stable.One side is too long and the other is too short, and there always seems to be something wrong.

In fact, dependence is really a bad habit, a soft excuse for one's fragility.

Now that I have the confidence and strength to grow, I should let go of that excuse.Be a real man who doesn't need to rely on anyone, this journey and these people are relying on and not relying on!

"Huang Zitao, is this your final conclusion after thinking for so many days?" Wu Yifan clenched his hands into fists and asked in a low voice, "No need? You never said that before. I don't understand, I don't understand if it's something else Can people really affect you so much? I don't understand why you chose to give up on me because of the nonsense those people said? What am I to you?"

Are you angry?Huang Zitao stopped in his tracks and looked back seriously, "Captain, are you angry?"

Captain, captain... Since when did he become so unfamiliar and formulaic to address him?

"Why don't you call me brother? Am I just the captain to you now?"

"We should all change our identities with the pace of life, shouldn't we? Wu Yifan, you told me that we don't belong here. Then the Korean rules are not our precepts! Of course you are my brother, you used to be, now you are , and in the future, this cannot be changed. But... the relationship between brother and brother you mentioned is probably not suitable for us anymore. Then why not enter into a new relationship? You are my captain in the first place, so it does not affect my I like it, but it doesn’t affect my admiration. But the captain has management responsibilities to me and has no other obligations, and I think you should be clear about this.”

"What... do you mean?"

Huang Zitao's bitter smile flashed, "You said you don't understand, I hope you never have to understand."

Those reasons that made him change, if possible, everyone around him doesn't need to understand.Sometimes it stings too much for reasons of change.

Huang Zitao will never forget in his life, that fan who came over suddenly when he was taking a break in the middle of the show.He originally wanted to say hello and then asked if he wanted to sign an autograph. The smile was already on his face, but the man's eyes were full of resentment, "Huang Zitao, why are you so cheap? Can't you stay away from our leader?" ?”

The voice is not loud, but the words keep looping in my ears~

Then, Huang Zitao just nodded with a smile, missed Yixing's suspicious look, turned and went backstage.

That's when I realized that it's so hard to hide something with a smile...

No complaints, just knowing that our relationship may really be misunderstood.But even so, I chose to change, but I still don't want you to know the reason why I chose to change.If you don't understand it, you will never understand it.This is actually not being kind, but trying to cover up my fragility, and not wanting others to know that I still have such an unbearable scene.

Wu Yifan felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if something was leaving his world, and he... didn't even have a chance to hold it back.

"Have you forgotten? On your ears, the traces of a lifetime."

"This." Huang Zitao blinked, "I'm beginning to understand what you said at that time."

"..."

"It's to forget the hole in my heart. That sentence... I understand now, does it mean that I have grown up? I have also... experienced some things." Huang Zitao is still smiling, "Then, do I also Can I learn from your method?"

I have never, never wanted to see you grow up in this way, that boy who asked if it hurts with clear eyes, where is he now?

Just when the two of them were about to collapse, Wu Shixun rushed over.He still couldn't let Huang Zitao face Wu Yifan alone, and then he sat quietly upstairs.Because no matter whether Huang Zitao and Wu Yifan reconcile or fight, I don't want to see it.

"Shixun, it's just right, let's go." Huang Zitao was stunned for a while and then pulled him over.

"...Go, where are you going?"

"Go get your ears pierced."

Wu Yifan watched those two people want to leave his side in a chic way, and immediately grabbed Tao's arm, "Are you going to run away again?"

Huang Zitao wanted to break free, but he gritted his teeth and couldn't.Sehun then stepped in to help, "Brother, can't you talk properly?"

Tao sighed, "I thought... what I said was very clear. Brother Fan, take a good look at me. I am no longer the old me. You still treat me the way you used to treat me. I can only let you You're just more disappointed. And... you won't be the same you before. People... always have to change. This kind of change is not necessarily bad, we can also change for the good, right? I grew up Now, I know that I should be serious and work hard. You will always be brothers by my side, and we will always be a side-by-side team. Is there a closer relationship than this? I will not deny everything before, and I will also think about it It’s sweet and grateful, but we can’t live in the past forever, reality makes us change, do we have to choose not to watch or listen to it?”

So, take a good look.We who are standing face to face now are no longer the ignorant Huang Zitao who only knows how to obey and Wu Yifan who pours all his tenderness.

We have all changed, what are we still insisting on?

Huang Zitao had a new ear piercing, because it was not treated well, it was a little inflamed.

After the pain passed, the only thing that changed was the addition of an earring.

Wu Shixun touched Huang Zitao's ear and said, "Will it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"What about your heart?"

"..."

In the familiar conversation, Huang Zitao turned his head and looked at him seriously, "My heart always hurts. But it is precisely because of the occasional pain that I cherish some things more. Many pains cannot be forgotten. The scars can't be erased, but because of the pain, I can move forward step by step without stopping, and those scars can become my medal of success. Isn't it?"

Huang Zitao who said such a thing is extremely handsome!

Wu Shixun raised the corner of his mouth, "What's sour, tell me, have you read romance novels recently?"

"...How did you know?⊙▽⊙Can you read Chinese?"

Wu Shixun raised his forehead, this panda is really easy to fool, he was recruited so easily, as expected, poking around with his mobile phone usually does nothing good!

"Hey, Huang Zhitao, have you ever thought about it, in the future?"

"In the future?"

"Oh, later."

"In the future... just keep it like this ~ we should get better and better."

We are getting better and better, of course.Wu Shixun nodded proudly.But... Huang Zitao, who was secretly looking at the side, is getting better and better... How good can the two of us be?Is that the level I hoped for?

Realizing that a certain milk bag was looking at him in the wrong way, Huang Zitao immediately stared at him, "What are you thinking! I mean we are a team!!!"

"What do you think I'm thinking ←_←"

"..."

A certain panda is silent~

Just, don't answer it, hum!

Just when Wu Shixun was addicted to molesting a certain panda, Park Chanyeol came on stage with a melancholy that didn't quite fit his style, grabbed the pillow and fell sideways on the sofa.

The two children looked at him in unison.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Under Huang Zitao's hint, Wu Shixun asked bravely.

A certain curly-haired Teddy who was immersed in the endless low pressure looked up at them sadly, "I feel... I seem to be rejected~"

"...Did you just find out?"

"⊙﹏⊙?"

Chanyeol's face was full of shock, Tao hurriedly tugged on Sehun's sleeve, can't you not stimulate him?

"No, Chanyeol, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Park Chanyeol looked gratefully at Wen Nuan Huang Tao Zi, actually... actually this is a sad story...

Since this morning, a certain curly-haired teddy who was excited because of the activities of the m team kept jumping up and down with his mobile phone, trying to take selfies with whomever he caught.

The first one to catch him was Baekhyun, Baekhyun actually... actually squinted at him, "Are you taking a selfie? That... Chanyeol is actually quite busy right now, really!"

"..."

Then, Byun Baekhyun hid in his room to call a friend, and Chanyeol could vaguely hear a few words, "Where are you?", "I'm free, of course I'm free.", "Yeah, ok, I happen to be It's boring~"

Chanyeol felt a surge of sadness, turned around and knocked on the door of Kyungsoo's room, and jumped in cheerfully without waiting for anyone to say "come in".

"Let's take a selfie, Jingxiu~"

…………

Chanyeol held up his phone and was flustered by the wind at the door, and no one paid any attention to him after standing there for a few seconds.Du Jingxiu, wearing earphones and holding a laptop, slowly raised her head. When she saw him, "Don't bother me that I'm busy" was written all over her face.

"Jingxiu, that... let's take a picture..."

"..."

"...I got it T_T" Under the pressure of his eyes, Chanyeol backed out obediently~

He resents, he is unwilling.He doesn't have any big wishes, isn't it just to take a photo together, why is everyone so uncooperative today?Did you forget to read the almanac today, everything is inappropriate? ? ?

After being rejected one after another, Chanyeol sat on the sofa sullenly, with a low air pressure surrounding him.

Just in time, the chatting and laughing trio came in from outside, Minshuo turned around to say something to Luhan, both of them looked excited.Yixing next to him was smiling, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a certain teddy that was languishing on the sofa complaining about himself.

"Chanyeol, what are you doing?"

"Brother Yixing, no one wants to take a selfie with me~" Looking up, Chanyeol interpreted "sorrow" with his face that is happy 24 hours a day and [-] hours a day.

"Are you taking a selfie?" Just when Yixing was puzzled, Luhan and Minshuo quickly exchanged glances, then pretended nothing happened, and the two brothers immediately entered the room.

Chanyeol's eyes are even more pitiful, look at them, they are turning a blind eye to me now!

Yixing immediately leaned over, "Chanyeol, let's take a selfie."

"Really?" The big eyes were filled with stars immediately, looking at Yixing as if looking at the savior.

"...Hmm." A brother angel with fluttering little wings replied hesitantly.

…………

"So..." A certain panda lazily relying on Shixun to maintain a dignified sitting posture raised its eyebrows, "Didn't Brother Yixing take a photo with you?"

So, what's the matter with this pitiful expression now?

"Don't mention it, it made me realize how much I was rejected!" Chanyeol recalled that time when he happily took a photo with the kind-hearted Yixing, and Yixing tried his best to put on a cute expression, but when he saw the photo, he couldn't His face froze for a moment...

"How about it, isn't it good?"

"...Chanyeol, promise me, you can keep the photos privately, don't show them to others." Then Zhang Yixing prepared to go back to the room sadly, but he was still uneasy and said, "Please, please !"

"... T_T"

After listening to Chanyeol's narration, Sehun couldn't stop laughing.

It's right to be disgusted, right? Park Chanyeol's selfie skills... Tsk tsk tsk, he's starting to sympathize with Brother Yixing who is casually swaying his kindness~

Looking at Oh Sehun who was dying of laughter, Chanyeol was stabbed deeply again and looked at him desolately.Huang Zitao secretly pushed Wu Shixun, who was about to go crazy laughing, while considering his words, "That Chanyeol, can I see your group photo?"

"Actually, I think it's pretty good, really." Saying that, Chanyeol took out his phone.The angle of the picture is simply... outrageous!

As a selfie expert, Huang Zitao almost threw his phone away, this technique is simply amazing!Really couldn't bear to hurt Chanlie anymore, Tao could only put on a smile, "Chanlie, do you want me to teach you a lesson?"

"Then can I take good photos?" Chanyeol looked surprised, grateful for his salvation.

"No, no, no, I won't be taught by Bai!" Shixun hurriedly stood between the two of them, "We Tao, the appearance fee is very high, so we can't teach for nothing!"

Chanyeol pouted, since when did Tao belong to Wu Sehun's family?

"Chanyeol hyung~" the maknae squinted his eyes with a smile, "buy us Korean beef!"

Originally, he expressed disdain for Wu Shixun's behavior of raising prices from the ground, but when he heard "Korean cow", the eyes of a certain panda immediately lit up, and he nodded solemnly.

The final outcome of this little episode is the victory of the two foodies~

But the three people who went to eat happily didn't know what kind of situation would greet them when they came back...

"He told you everything, didn't he?" Bai Xian leaned against the door, looking at Wu Yifan who was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open.

"The news is fast enough." Wu Yifan laughed at himself.

"I guess I know. He is relieved now. In fact, I don't have anything to worry about. But I am still curious about what he said."

"I don't want to depend on it anymore."

Bai Xian bowed his head, "Then you are not very sad?"

There's no need to ask, seeing how decadent he is now, I know it, of course it's uncomfortable.Wu Yifan didn't know how many times he was filled with sweetness because of that Huang Zitao who relied on him, but in contrast, there was an irreparable emptiness now.

It was as if what he held tightly in his hands was lost in the end, and he could do nothing while watching.It's not that I can't do it, but that I can't do it, because the one who left is also the one I want to protect.It is precisely because it is placed in the most important position that I am reluctant to let him get hurt because of myself.

Wu Yifan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then sat up slowly, "So, are you here to laugh at me?"

"Although I'm sorry, but I really want to see your failed expression. You let him carry your label for too long, every time I want to approach him, it seems that you are warning. But starting today, you should not How can you take it for granted that every time he says 'we' he means you and him?" Having said this, Baek Hyun was even a little happy.

Huang Zitao's dependence on Wu Yifan is the resentment of many people including him.

It's really because the timing of Wu Yifan's appearance was so perfect, Huang Zitao, who was a little timid at the beginning, didn't even have a chance to get in touch with him, but he was already devoted to him because of someone's care.

For this, Bian Baekxian has not thought about it, if he is the first one who is willing to enter the world of that panda, if he has the opportunity to meet him earlier...would everything be different?

"He just said that we are no longer dependent, but our world is not separated!" Wu Yifan told Bai Xian word by word, and told himself at the same time.

"Yes, that is the world where everyone is."

The implication is that there is no longer a world that belongs to two people that no one else can enter.

Wu Yifan is very clear about these things, it is because he is clear that he feels pain.But now Baekhyun is still mercilessly opening up his wounds...

OK, since that's the case.Since you want to see it, it's good enough to see it!

Wu Yifan looked at Bai Xian with a sneer, without saying anything, got up and missed him and left the room.

Bai Xian watched Wu Yifan go out from the dormitory, blinked, knowing that he might have gone too far, but he was still not ready to apologize.That person made himself unable to get off the stage a lot. When he turned his head, Jin Zhongren stood at the door of the bathroom, looking at him coldly.

"You heard everything?"

"You guys are too loud."

"It's nothing," Bai Xian smiled, "You understand, right?"

"You...too naive!" Jin Zhongren leaned against the wall weakly, "Do you really know what Huang Zitao is thinking? Are you arguing here now?"

To be honest, being called childish by my younger brother is something that only happens in their combination, right?Baek Hyun looked at Zhong Ren, "But seriously, have you never complained about Wu Yifan's feeling of taking him as your own?"

Thinking of the phone call he made to Wu Yifan, Jin Zhongren immediately fell silent, and smiled awkwardly, "Brother Baixian, I'm going to the company."

Baek Hyun once again watched another person leave the dormitory, and suddenly felt very tired. He always wanted to ask Jun Mian a word, and wanted to ask him, when is it appropriate for him to say what he likes?Before, he thought Tao was different to Wu Yifan, but after these days, he realized that the difference he thought was different from the uniqueness he imagined was also different.

With a thought, I took out the phone from my pocket, and after unlocking it, my fingers froze there, wondering if I could continue to the next step...

Still hesitating, in the blink of an eye, the phone displayed an incoming call.

It's Brother Junmian.

Hehe laughed, Baixian felt that he was simply naive, how could he suddenly have such unrealistic imaginations?Their combination can't stand too much shock, hasn't Brother Junmian already said it.

"Hey?"

"Where are you now?"

"Dorm."

"Then come here now, brother treats you to dinner."

"Just... me?"

"And Jingxiu, come here quickly, the one we often go to."

Bian Baekxian who hung up the phone pursed his lips. Fortunately, he was not impulsive, otherwise wouldn't he even feel sorry for Brother Junmian who treated him so well?

His liking... Before bursting his whole heart, he can pretend he doesn't have it.Now, he can still bear it.Really, it can be endured!
