After a week Oliver started to adapt to his new environment. Being a school Nurse in all boys school is quite good. There's not much chaos appearing.

Oliver loves evenings breeze that entered into his work room though an open window. He will sit quietly while watching students from soccer clubs doing their activities.

"If you're interested you can join our club as my PA"

Lil Wen voice startled Oliver who is busy watching soccer club students playing on the field.

"What are you doing here? Is that okay to leave your students practice by themselves?"

Oliver pulled out a file from cabinet near his table. He make himself busy to prevent him from losing to Lil Wen tempting.

"It's okay. Their captain know how to do his job. Besides, you look so lonely when you looking us practice just know. So I came here to kept you company. I'm good right?"

Lil Wen pulled a chair in front of Oliver and sit without any shame. He looked closely at Oliver beautiful face. "He is a man right? How can a man can be this beautiful? The more I look at him, the more beautiful his looked"

Oliver just ignored Lil Wen jokes. He tried to focus on his job checking stocks for the month. He just take over this job, so he needs to make sure everything is under the right track.

"Are you really this quite or you don't like that I talk to much?"

Lil Wen ask after he got a silent treatment from Oliver for almost half an hour. Oliver rise his head. He looked at Lil Wen face in front of him. It been a weeks and he really ignored all Lil Wen friendly talk. At home or at work, Oliver chose to ignored Lil Wen. It's not like he hate it, he just don't know how to respond. All his words just stuck in his throat.

"Okay than. I will take your silent as an answer. I am sorry for talking to much and ignored your feelings."

Lil Wen stand up and move towards the door. Oliver just looked at him in silence. He really wanna stop him but he feels like someone was cover his mouth and pin his body on the chair.

"I won't bother you anymore."

Lil Wen open the door and walked away. "Hmm...bye bye first love. I should listen to Xin ge words. Stupid!" Lil Wen smacked his forehead as hard as his heart broken unrequited love.

Oliver stunned in regret. He really wanted to stopped Lil Wen from leaving, but as usual his words just stuck in his throat. " What should I do now? Oliver you're hopeless!" Oliver cursed himself.

That night, Lil Wen never looked or talk to Oliver at dining table. Oliver who totally feels regret, eating his food slowly while his eyes occasionally glanced at Lil Wen who happily joking and laughing with the others. Slowly Oliver starts to stuck in the abyss that devouring his soul little by little. Oliver stopped eating. He feel heavy all of sudden. The food he swallowed hurting his throat.

"I'm full. Thanks for the delicious foods."

Oliver smiled and moved to the sink to clean up his rice bowl. The others look at each other in puzzled. Marco starts to feel something was off. Lil Wen just looked at his rice bowl silently before he continued to eat. His heart feels hurt and worried about Oliver. Xin Er looked at Lil Wen with his sharp eyes. He know it must be something to do with Lil Wen.

In the room, Oliver threw himself onto the bed. He slowly felt like he stuck inside the spider web. The more he struggled the more he tangled with a heavy feelings. It hard to breathe. Everything felt damps and dark . Oliver coughing non stop. He breath heavily like something was stuck in his lug. It hurts like he gonna die anytime soon. He start to feel afraid. But nobody was there. He totally alone.

Marco who heard Oliver coughing non stop quickly run upstairs and enter Oliver room with Lil Wen who also worried about Oliver. He started to panic when he saw Oliver condition. He never saw his cousin got a panic attack like this.

"Fine me a plastic bag quickly!"

Lil Wen quickly run downstairs and go to the kitchen to pick a plastic bag and run back to Oliver room as fast as possible. Lil Wen nearly cry after he saw Oliver face turned pale.

"Little bear... breath slowly."

Ask Marco while putting a plastic bag on Oliver mouth. Lil Wen lift Oliver body and put his head on his lap. Lil Wen caressed Oliver chest softly. Slowly, Oliver starts to breath slowly. A few minutes later, an ambulance arrives and bring Oliver to the hospital.

"What wrong with him?"

Ask Lil Wen to Marco.

"I don't know. He never liked this before"

Marco answer with his high tune. Xin Er caressed Marco back to calm him down and give signal to Lil Wen to keep quiet. He know both of them was worried about Oliver. But nothing they can do. They can only waiting and pray.

Emergency room light starts to turned off. A doctor came out and everyone quickly greeted him.

"How is my cousin Doctor? He was fine right?"

Marco voice trembling in fear. He really can't accept if something happened to his cousin. Xin Er caressed Marco back. Only that he can do at that moment. If he who just know Oliver for a week feel worried, not to mention Marco who growing up together with Oliver.

"Don't panic"

The Doctor pat Marco shoulder. He don't want another person got a panic attack.

"He got a panic attacks. But for now his condition is stable. Let him rest for now. Is there something happened to him recently?"

Everyone silent. Nobody know what really happened. Even Lil Wen got confused.

"By looking at his condition just now, it's not a panic attack anymore."

The Doctor continues his speech.

"Anxiety attacks?"

Ask Xin Er. The Doctor nodded. Xin Er let out a heavy sigh. "What the cause?" He gaze at Lil Wen who still at lost. "Are you the cause?"

"Is it bad?"

Ask Marco to Xin Er.

"It's not that bad. We just need to help him."

Xin Er explained it softly.

"But...But... he.."

Marco still panicked. This is the first time he saw his cheerful cousin like that.

"Don't worry. Everything will be okay. Together we will cure his anxiety."

Xin Er hug Marco softly. He afraid that Marco also got a panic attack at that moment. "They are family indeed."

After Marco calm down, he went to Oliver room. Oliver looked so innocent when he sleeps. It's make Marco heart hurt even more.

After Marco left, Xin Er dreg Lil Wen with him.

"What you have done? I already told you don't overdid it"

Xin Er deepest his tunes.

"I did nothing. I just tell him that I won't bother him anymore. That all."

Said Lil Wen protected his innocent. "Wait..is that the cause?"

Lil Wen and Xin Er looked at each others in puzzled. "Impossible.." then both of them shaking their heads.

Lil Wen walked casually. In his arms, there was a beautiful sunflowers mix with blue spider lily bouquet. He opened the door and saw Oliver already wake up. Oliver turned his head stunningly and their eyes meets. Lil Wen heartbeat beating fast and loud. He let out a nervous sigh. He smiled to Oliver who just looked at him without a blink.

Lil Wen put the bouquet in his arms beside Oliver. He sit on the chair beside Oliver bed. Oliver eyes just followed every Lil Wen moves. Lil Wen looked back at those lonely eyes. His heart feels likes being pricked by millions of sharp needles. Lil Wen take Oliver hand and caressed it softly. Oliver still the same. Looking at Lil Wen with those lonely eyes.

"Are you sad that I leave you alone?"

With his sweet smile, Lil Wen tried to dig Oliver heart. Oliver clench his hand. His words still stuck in his throat. His eyes stared to glaze. Lil Wen caressed Oliver hair.

"Don't worry. I won't leave you. I'm sorry to say that I will leave you alone that day. Would you forgive me?"

Lil Wen tried to coax Oliver who already in the verge of tears. Oliver nodded. Lil Wen smile and kiss Oliver hand. "He won't angry right?" Lil Wen take a peeked at Oliver. Oliver face looks less tensed. Lil Wen smile in relief.

"Do you know what the meaning of this flower?"

Lil Wen pick the bouquet of flowers he bring just now. He peeked at Oliver. Oliver shake his head.

"This Sunflowers represents longevity and good luck. I want you to have a long life and be healthy. Always have a good fortune and be happy."

Lil Wen looked at Oliver who in dazed while looking at him. "Ahh...those face, I can't take it anymore." Lil Wen bite his lip to suppress his feeling toward Oliver at that moment. 

"And this blue spider lily mean truth, calm energy, stability, freedom, and inspiration."

Lil Wen smile after he saw Oliver face was stunned while his eyes still looking at him.

"I choose this flower specially for you."

Lil Wen put the bouquet in Oliver arms. Oliver takes the bouquet but his eyes never leave Lil Wen face.

"I want you stay true to yourself, have a calm mind and soul, have a stable heart and be free from any problems that hunt you."

Lil Wen finished his words and pinch Oliver points nose. Oliver blink his eyes and rubs his nose. He startled a little after he saw Lil Wen stand up and wanted to walk away.

"I just want to fill this vase with water. You don't want those flowers to withering quickly right?"

Lil Wen take out the vase from paper bag he just bring with the bouquet. Oliver face back to calm and he back to laying comfortably. His eyes still sticking at Lil Wen face. Lil Wen felt like those lonely eyes already drill a huge hole on his face. But he don't want to spoil Oliver moods. His mantel state still unstable and he need his full support.

Lil Wen put the vase on the table beside Oliver bed. He take the bouquet from Oliver hand and unwrapped it. He put those flowers into the vase.

"It's beautiful right?"

Lil Wen take a peeked at Oliver face. Oliver nodded.

"But, not as beautiful as you"

Lil Wen pinch Oliver points nose again.

"Aaa..it hurts"

Oliver grabbed Lil Wen hands.

"In the end, you talking to me"

Lil Wen said with his sweet smile. Oliver stunned while his eyes still stick on Lil Wen face. Their eyes meets. Both of their hearts beating fast and loud. Lil Wen bow a little. Their face only a few centimeters away. They almost kissed when Marco opened the door.

Marco enter the room following by Xin Er, Yuanxi, Alex and Justin. All of them stunned for a while after they saw Lil Wen looked so shy while fixing the flowers in the vase. Oliver just act normal but looked a little nervous by beating his lips.

"What both of you doing before we enter?"

Ask Marco while he put a basket of fruit on the table.

"Nothing. What we have done Oliver?"

Lil Wen pretend to be innocent. Oliver shake his head. Lil Wen looked at Xin Er and tilt his head." See. I am innocent". Xin Er sharpened his gaze at Lil Wen. Hard to believe that Lil Wen is innocent. But if it okay with Oliver, Xin Er will just let's it go. Xin Er nodded his head. He gives Marco a lunch bag they prepared for Oliver.

"What some porridge? I cooked your favorite."

Ask Marco while he put a table on Oliver bed. Oliver nodded his head. It's totally long time ago he tastes Marco egg drop rice porridge. It tastes even delicious then his own mother cooked.

"This fried vegetables was cooked by Xin Er. This steamed dumplings was prepared by Yuanxi, Alex and Justin"

Marco puts one by one menu on the table. Oliver looked at Yuanxi with question marks all over his head.

"Don't worry. Xin Er and Marco also there to help."

Yuanxi said before he smacked Oliver arm.

"I said nothing."

Oliver said while he rubs his arms that being smacked by Yuanxi just now. He picked a fork and tastes Yuanxi dumplings. "Not bad."

"I know from your eyes that you don't believe with my skills"

Yuanxi who knows as the master of disaster trying to convincing that he also can be gentle as made a dumplings. Even two over ten only can be called as dumplings.

Oliver ignored Yuanxi words and looked at Lil Wen face with his hopping eyes.

"Today I don't cooked. I was busy with upcoming sports day at school. You can tastes my cooked everyday after you discharge"

Oliver turned his head towards the others.

"We have nothing to do with a sports day"

Said Yuanxi. The others nodded their head. Oliver turned his eyes at Marco. Marco swallowed his saliva. "What wrong with this kid?"

"I have to take care of you right?"

Marco said softly and sit at Oliver bedside. He caressed Oliver shoulder. Oliver turned his head and looked at his porridge. He scopes a little and eat it. "Tastes as good as old times. Marco is the best after all". Oliver continues to eat his porridge till all clean.

"Doctor said you can be discharge today. But.."

Marco words stuck in his throat. Oliver looked at him with his blankly eyes.

"But..."

Marco caressed Oliver hair. He looked at Xin Er in hopes Xin Er will help him to explain this big matter to Oliver. Xin Er shake his head. Don't want to involve in this matter.

"You're not sick. Just your mental working to hard. So.."

Marco trying to explain as best as he can.

"I know."

Oliver said bluntly. He know the best about his mental health. His anxiety. The feeling of being betrayed and abandoned. Marco stares at Xin Er.

"If you need help, you can talk to me or Lil Wen"

Said Xin Er. As a psychiatrist sons both of them have to study and take the same path as their ancestor. Only Lil Wen had a specialty due of his status. His real father is a special investigator who died while trying to save Xin Er mother. Due that incident, his mother who was pregnant with Lil Wen got a mental breakdown. Because of guilty, his family treated her till she stable. Xin Er mother died due of illness when Xin Er was five and Lil Wen just one and half years old. Their parents get married two years after that. Still, Lil Wen also study about psychology due his mother illness.

Oliver looked at Lil Wen. Lil Wen nodded. Oliver smiled sweetly. Lil Wen jaw wide open after he saw those alluring smiled from his lonely angel.
