Chapter 251: Chapter 251 - Let loose

Eric and Yuna got a flight on that day itself and returned home. Standing in the familiar airport, Eric dazedly gazed at the rushing cars,

Yuna hugged his shoulders. "Do you want to drink away your sorrow?"

He simply smiled slightly. "Drinking does not help... I’ll... I’ll rest for a few days. Can you ask Sha to take care of the shop for me?"

"I’ll do that," Yuna kissed his cheeks. "don’t think of anything, okay? Just sleep."

Eric tried to do that exactly, but laying on the soft bed, he could only think of Yuri. His slightly pale face and his sunken cheeks. That familiar face looking that sick disarmed him. He wanted to run to him and hug him tightly in his embrace.

But That man who carried the same soul and face as his past lover Aaron was not meant to be his in this lifetime.

He rolled over and hugged the body pillow tightly.

The tears he had been holding back all long poured out of him. Sobbing, he sunk into a deep sleep.

A few days passed in a dull haze. Haolei was still at old man wang’s place so he got to stay all alone. This made him feel even more desolate.

On the third day, Yuna came to him. She sat down with him, hugging him tightly. "Your patrons all miss your cookies... aren’t you going to work>?’

"don’t feel like it,"

She simply placed her head on his shoulders. "How long are you going to mope around this time?"

"I’m not moping... just testing," Eric gazed at her with a small smile. I’m fine."

Yuna sat up with a frown. "Your pillow is wet probably because you cried a river and you look sickly and wan, most likely because you didn’t eat anything. How is this fine? Eric, you can’t destroy yourself every time something happens with Yuri. It’s not healthy."

"I know," Eric buried his face in the pillow. "I am trying to get over him,"

"Forget about him, it’s the best option." Yuna sighed softly. "Looks like I have to give you intensive training,"

"Huh?" Eric raised a brow.

"Get up," she dragged him out of bed and shoved him into her car wordlessly.

Eric blankly watched her jump in the driver’s seat. "This constitutes as kidnapping. You know that right?"

Se let out a soft chuckle. "Yeah right, I like kidnapping handsome men, so what? I’m a rick-powerful woman, won’t you be my sugar baby?" she playfully tugged at his shirt.

Eric grimaced. "Ew no thank you,"

"Hey! I would make a great sugar mama!"

They both played around.

Eric somehow felt that weight crushing on his shoulder lessen. that person’s memory also seems to be hazy.

"Where are we going?" they drove through the west side of the city towards the part where he had not explored.

"We are going to do something exciting," Yuna grinned mischievously.

Soon the car was parked in a small parking lot in front of a gun range.

Eric raised a brow. "a gun range? Are you kidding me? Why did you even bring me here? Im not in the mood to..." before he could find his sentence he was dragged out of the car and into the gun range.

Inside, loud shots were heard. He tightly held Yuna’s hand to keep her safe.

Yuna chuckled. "Let loose, it’s a club, no one is going to hurt us," she walked up to the counter and talked in a hushed whisper.

The man behind the counter nodded, and Yuna gazed back at him. "Wait right there I’ll bring your equipment,"

Sighing, Eric sat on the small stool looking at the gun range. There were fifteen subdivisions and at least four old men were already shooting the target. They all seem to be having a hell of a lot of fun laughing and betting on who would get the bull’s eye.

The jovial atmosphere stuck to him as well. Eric smiled, watching them.

Soon Yuna came running with two guns and a target sheet. "Come on let’s get ready,"

They went to their lane and set up target sheets. But to his surprise he watched Yuna set up a photo of Yuri on the target sheet.

"What the hell are you doing?!" he grabbed a hold of it.

Yuna pushed his grabby hands off and made the target back away remotely. "you have to get over him, this is not technically shooting at him. But thank of it as shooting at his memory. This will relay help you forget him." She started to load the bullets. "if this doesn’t work we can definitely try to burn his photos you can choose the ones you like,"

Eric dazedly gazed at Yuri’s photo. He desperately tried to forget him but here he was looking at his familiar and yet unfamiliar face. he tightly closed his eyes.

"a breakup?" a soft voice whispered beside him.

Yuri gazed at his right to see a young man in a suit. "Go on, shoot at his face. it really works."

Eric weirdly looked at him. "I’m not going to shoot at his face."

"Then I’m going to," Yuna picked up her gun and shot at Yuri’s picture with fury.

Eric gasped out loud, watching his lover’s face torn up. "y-you...’

"Now you try," she shoved the gun in his hand and stood right behind him, guiding his aim.

Eric blankly looked at Yuri’s torn face.

"Shoot Eric... shoot at him,"

Gulping Eric did as he was asked.

The bullets hit the target right in the forehead.

"Wow, that was a bullseye. Your good little man," the blond-haired guy cheered.

Eric was slightly trembling. Just shooting at his picture made him think of Aaron. When he was old and drying, his lover held his hand tightly and stayed beside him, silently sobbing.

Tears started to stream down his face.

Eric sobbingly shot in the face.

’He is not my lover, only Aaron is. Even though they are the same soul they are not the same. But Aaron will never come back,’
