Pairing:Wei Qing Yang/Qing Nana
Summary: There are many considerations when you no longer can see the one you care about. The pain of separate comes small, but it takes many to observe and guide you to the way of awareness.

The day started out like any day, moving forward and Qing Yang kept on bringing out his cellphone to call Na Na's phone. He wonder if it was plausible something happen to her or worse unable to stand it, he decided to send a message to Zi Feng.

 

	Wei Qing Yang: Bro is Na Na okay working in your amusement park?
	Du Zi Feng: Did you end up losing her?
	Wei Qing Yang: I am being serious here. She just up and left when she heard Uncle's name. She isn't answering any of my phone calls.
	Du Zi Feng: Okay! I get it. I just checked. She is working still but she looks tired. What happened?
	Wei Qing Yang: I don't know. That's what I am trying to find out. Keep an eye on her will you?
	Du Zi Feng: Don't worry. The minions will keep an eye on your bunny.
	Wei Qing Yang: -_- This is me giving you my icy glare.
	Du Zi Feng: Hah! I was the one that taught you that!

Qing Yang went back to work he had to work on a few signs for the desserts they would be having on the next shipment. Uncle Tian had secured a supplier from a baker that was famous.

He was concerned as to how Na Na looked; it's been almost a four days since she stormed away and since his text Zi Feng. Zi Feng did send him surveillance access and he guiltily check on her in the camera. 

Qing Yang wasn't pleased he couldn't see her clearly, but at least she didn't run away. Inwardly, he knew that Zi Feng wouldn't be able to constantly watch over her. He was just as busy running the business keeping people fed, getting his fill of his sworn brother.

A text comes in perking him from his thoughts. 

	Du Zi Feng: I am coming in. I need your advice.
	Wei Qing Yang: Just come in. I prepare your usual.

It was past dinner time when Zi Feng came; he slid at the bar and sat there playing with the London phone box toy that Uncle Tian purchases as Knick knacks for the coffee shop. Zi Feng first words are, "Na Na...Hasn’t been eating according to Xiao Ting. She been trying to share her lunch with her, but she hasn't been taking the offer."

Qing Yang slid the filter down into place and shifted the ground coffee into place. "Uncle doesn't even know why, Na Na ran."

"You should just go get her..." Zi Feng said, "You never aggressively approach her or anyone." He shook the toy at Qing Yang, "if need be since she avoiding you. Just go into the amusement park and find her. Force her to listen...you are chasing her."

"It's not that way!" Qing Yang glares but points out, "what is your issue then?" Zi Feng look down spinning the toy then press it against his lips. His quiet unnerved Qing Yang.  Qing Yang unable to stand this sort of Zi Feng said, "Can I help you?"

Zi Feng perks up, setting down the toy he asked, "Don’t ask why and just help?"

Qing Yang nods, "Yes." He wonder what Zi Feng had in mind, he was a bit worried too.

Zi Feng got up and approaches and gets close into Qing Yang's personal space, he started to back away, but Zi Feng held up his hands. Unable to disobey he stayed stilled and wonders why his bro was getting closer, and closer. Unable to stand this closeness he asked, "What are you trying to do?" Eyes searching Zi Feng wondering when his friend went off the deep end.

Zi Feng said, “I’m trying to see if I have any feelings for men."

Okay that was an unexpected answer that Qing Yang didn't expect, "What is the outcome?" He wonders if he should run.

Zi Feng said, "The outcome is I have no feelings for you." He turns away still frustrated on not understanding what is bother him.

Qing Yang gave a breath of relief when Zi Feng turned away; he almost lost his lips if that man got too close to him. He didn't want a reenactment on what occurred between Zi Feng and Ya Nuo. Finishing making the coffee he picked it up, “Irish Coffee." The counter solid between the two of them, since Zi Feng returned to the stool.

Zi Feng eyes the coffee and gave a loud sigh of breath, "I would rather drink some alcohol to calm my mind now."

Qing Yang quirk an eyebrow, it was never good idea for Zi Feng to drink while having complicated thinking, considering that people tend to regret whatever they did under the influence, "You get drunk easily if you drink with a complicated mind."

"You’re right I went on a blind date." Zi Feng echoes this was amusing to Qing Yang since it was unusual that Zi Feng would be willing to even attend a blind date. Usually it was set up by Feng Jie to get her son to get together with potential brides. Zi Feng continues, "During the blind date Ya Nuo showed up and I felt uneasy and tense. I had strange feelings too." He was clutching his chest like he was experiencing pain.

Qing Yang grew interested, "What strange feelings?"

Zi Feng warped into a sheepish child, "It felt like I was caught cheating."

'Caught cheating? Did Zi Feng think that he was married to Ya Nuo?' Qing Yang asked again for clarification, "You were caught cheating?"

Zi Feng nodded, "Yes strange right."

Indeed it is strange, Qing Yang agreed inwardly.

"PI Ya Nuo is clearly a man and my Bro." Zi Feng took a sip of his coffee frustration tamper with his tone, "Why do I feel like this toward him? But I just felt it that way. I don’t know what is going on. I’m probably tired..." Exhaling a loud gust of wind, Qing Yang was examining what Zi Feng was saying.

Unable to conclude that his friend was gay, however it was plausible that his soul was somehow attracted to the qualities of Ya Nuo. Qing Yang started to say, "You are not tired. I think you are in love." The expression on his friends face was absolute shock but he had to continue, "You have fallen in love with Ya Nuo." It was simple as that, perhaps in a previous life they travel together, and life decided to throw them a curve ball by making them both male.

Zi Feng tugs on his hair in utter furious disbelief, "How can that be? Ya Nuo and I are brothers."

That was quite true, brothers and all, but the way Qing Yang observes their actions, it grew beyond the scope of proper behavior between two brothers. Trying to break it gently, Qing Yang said softly, "Your care and concern towards Ya Nuo, as well as your interaction with him, I feel that…you guys are more than just brothers." Which sums up everything he seen, the gentleness both emulated between the two of them, was beyond anything he had experience with his brother, Zi Feng.

Qing Yang wouldn't be comfortable with the amount of time and zone invasions that Zi Feng and Ya Nuo had. Sworn brothers or not, personal space was a must of guys.

Zi Feng exclaimed, "Why did you say the same thing as Zi Han?"

Well this was news to Qing Yang; he didn't know that Zi Han had a conversation with this magnitude with Zi Feng. Qing Yang could see that Zi Han really was a Du if she could recognize the signals, hell even an elephant in a china shop was obvious, "The onlookers see most of the game."

Zi Feng spoke again unable to grasp his circumstances, "So, Ya Nuo is more than just my brother?"

'Poor Zi Feng,' Qing Yang thought, it was hard for someone to realize they might in fact be in love with a guy. In a way, he was happy he never had to face this container situation. Then again, right now he couldn't even understand the opposite gender; at least Zi Feng had a commonality with that of Ya Nuo.

Zi Feng almost screams, "Oh my god why did I fall in love with a guy? I should be attracted to women, isn’t that right?"

Indeed, Qing Yang did pity Zi Feng's dramatic issues. Qing Yang said, ''You have your own freedom when it comes to love." That was quite true, "There is no gender segregation." He tries to comfort his friend, but started to grab the whiskey bottle and a shot glass, setting it up and pouring he pushed it over, "Drink it." He watches Zi Feng down it in one gulp, "Looks like your mind is in a complicated state."

Zi Feng whimpers, "Yes."

And with that Qing Yang poured again, watching over his friend’s degeneration into complexity of the mind over his dilemma.  He thought that would be it, him pouring and Zi Feng getting drunk and spending the night over, however it didn't end up that way.

As the night progressed Zi Feng narrowed in and started to bring up Qing Yang's issue.

Slurring with decorum of a drunk Zi Feng stated, "You! Do you know that Na Na is the best thing to happen to you!”?

"Um, she is a friend." Qing Yang said trying to protest but Zi Feng pointed at his shot glass for it to be refilled.

Zi Feng exclaimed, "No...She is your family! You should be pushing her...for answers. You care about her right?" He quickly swiped the shot glass and took a sip when it was refilled, "At least she is a girl! A simple naive girl! Do you even know what she is?"

Qing Yang cheek ticked from the stress, "She is a kind girl that has left me behind without any explanations."

"Right! Girls are like that, but you need to push them for answers. Na Na looks like a girl that just doesn't answer if it hurts people." Zi Feng warns, "Who knows what sort of trouble she gets into..." He hiccups.

"Zi Feng your drunk." Qing Yang began, but Zi Feng waves him off.

"Ever since Auntie Wei and Uncle Wei were gone, I never seen you open up to someone so quickly, not even two weeks and you already helping her taking care of her...and I can see you eyeing your cellphone again!" Zi Feng was a cutting shrewd when he was drunk. "Qing Yang...you said she is sick right?"

"Y...yeah..." Qing Yang stuttered out, Zi Feng had yanked his shirt until he was in his face.

"How sick?" Zi Feng asked seriously mad.

Qing Yang stutters, "She...."

"I got her file!" Zi Feng said, earning a protest, "She is recovering, but chance of re occurrence again...are you afraid she would disappear from your life? Are you afraid to care for her because one day she might simply die like a balloon that goes pop?"

Qing Yang mouth shut up, unable to deny the shame he felt.

"Love you tell me has no gender, but it can be the same to loving someone has no time limit, you love as hard as you can!" Zi Feng hiccups, "You grab onto whatever you can squeeze out of it, before you lose it all. A memory may be painful, but at least you have those!" He said and waves his finger, "As leader!"

Qing Yang shook his head, but Zi Feng whacks his shoulder earning a yelp.

"GO get the girl!" Zi Feng said, "Don't be wishy washy like me!" Then Zi Feng head plunked onto the counter of the bar and a small noise of sleep flew out of his mouth.

Qing Yang rub his forehead feeling that headache occurring slowly, this was indeed a problem, he glances at Zi Feng prone body and wonder how he was going to drag his leader's body up the stairway. Perhaps he could just drag him along to the couch?

Already the thought of Na Na fallen somewhere with no one to help her was terrifying his mind. Chance of recurrence was high for someone like her, and indeed he was scared to love someone ill, because she might leave him alone, just like his parents. Could he live with this type of heart break again?

The next day Qing Yang was preparing coffee and watching his friend moan in pain, feeling pity for the poor bastard, he offer his Columbia blend and spoke softly, "Bro...Get up so you can go home and get ready."

Zi Feng voice was hoarse, "Ugh...Qing Yang too loud."

Qing Yang snorted, "This is why you don't drink the day before you need to go to work!"

"Yeah. I get it!" Zi Feng murmurs, "I still got a change of clothes here?"

"I think so, you could I guess use the bathroom to shower and get ready for work." Qing Yang said, "I already text your mom to let her know you stayed over."

"Thanks." Zi Feng wobbles and moved toward the stairway.

"The clothes should be in my closet." Qing Yang remarked and went back to brewing, he would have to get the Coffee House started soon, since they would have arriving customers. He didn't pay attention to Zi Feng as his friend went along, he would know where his stuff was and where the bathroom is.

Qing Yang lips turned down when he spotted the special blend he had stored away for Na Na, the one she favor the most, taking out his cellphone he check it, then hit her name.

Wei Qing Yang: Na Na. Are you awake? Look I am really worried about you. You haven't been answering my phone calls. Are you taking care of yourself? Did you eat? I really want to meet you. Please explain things to me. We are family, remember? I worry that you aren't feeling well. So just text me or call me.

There was no answer and Qing Yang was growing worried over her. However, he couldn't get off work today, he had to work a full shift, Uncle Tian had to attend business around the area and he knew the man was tired. Glancing to the coffee filters and glass cylinders he gave a sigh, he love making coffee, but he wish that there were times he could just simply have a bit to use at this moment of emergency.

They really needed profit and to sell these new dessert items on the menus. The contract was signed and it would be a waste, he was the manager after all.

Glancing at the phone he dial again Na Na's number but received her voice mail, "Na Na....calls me." Then hung up, placing his cellphone on the bar he lean over it and stretch his back with his arms pressed against the counter. If he was violent he would want to break things, but he just couldn't.

Zi Feng popped down in one hour, Qing Yang handed him a sandwich and a coffee, "Here eat this and drink this..." He said, already the line was growing for their establishment and Mei Fang was around running around with cups of coffee for carry outs.

"Thanks." Zi Feng said chewing on the sandwich and sipping the coffee, "Here..." The older man slid a card to Qing Yang.

"What's this?" Qing Yang asked surprised.

Zi Feng was sipping more of the coffee, "Footage that I loaded on a storage unit for you...it has HD video footage of your girl."

Qing Yang shook his head, "Do I have to keep repeating?"

"No...But I thought you like it. Don't worry--it's not stalking its being nosy family member." Zi Feng reassured him already noticing the longing glances at the paper. "It’s only right, for all you know she fell in with the wrong sort of people." His forehead wrinkles, "Do you want me to place men for that or do you want too?"

Qing Yang hand froze after stirring the large flash like tubes with his spatula, "What?"

"You could have set up men to guard her place a long time ago." Zi Feng said bored, "Or tails her so you know where she is at..." He spoken, "But I think you also are skirting the issue...but tell me." He said pointing out, "What if one day she disappears? Not from passing on, what if she was taken away? Disappears from your sight...what would you do? Could you live with yourself?" Zi Feng was really pushing the topic. 

A beep on Zi Feng's watch alerted him to a message and he glances down fiddling, "I have to go now...just think about it!" He then got off the stool and hurried off, leaving a pretty dark oppressive cloud hanging over Qing Yang's head.

Today the small little sun couldn't shine as bright, because of a thunder cloud hanging over his head, it made those around him, including the customers give him his space as he brewed their coffee.

The coffee still taste great, but the permanent frown on the normally calm face was scaring some of them.

A few hours later, Qing Yang was on a break, dialing his phone and checking his messages, he did wish that Na Na uses Line. If she did then he could see if she read his messages, it was infuriating, why won't she answer?

Qing Yang was so tempted to call in his brother in arms to help him, but it would be too extreme and he didn't want them to bully or misunderstand Na Na.

Uncle Tian sat across from him watching him dialing his cellphone and frowning when no answer came. Hanging up, he looked at his elder, "Uncle."
Xing Tian asked, "Are you calling Miss Yang?"

Qing Yang was giving his uncle a lost boy sort of look, "She is not answering her calls or returning them. I don’t know why." He glances down his cellphone and dial again, his Uncle was looking over at Qing Yang amused gleam in his eyes.

A loud voice of the mail man came from the door, "MAIL FOR NAN XING TIAN!"

Xing Tian not wanting to leave called out to his assistant, "Mei Fang Can you go help get the mail for me?"

Mei Fang readily agrees, "Okay!"

Xing Tian continues to watch Qing Yang's frustration growing, the boy must of called that girl twenty times today, though he wasn't counting, he chuckles softly.

Qing Yang placing his phone down asked, "Uncle, why are you laughing?"

The happy grin on Xing Tian face he said, "I am not laughing at you. I am just happy." It was for so long that he was hoping that his nephew by name would finally get interested in a girl.

"Happy?" Qing Yang asked confused by his Uncle's statement.

Xing Tian rocks his body, "Of course. I have never seen you care so much about a girl. This girl, Na Na, is probably quite complicated." He grins.

Qing Yang's eyes widen, not another one of his relatives or friend saying the same thing! "Uncle, you have misunderstood!"

Xing Tian parrots, "I misunderstood?" He teases lightly, Qing Yang was always a serious boy, he treated him like his son, and “She is not your girlfriend now. It doesn’t mean that she won’t be in the future." He waves his hands winking, "If you have any questions, you can ask me. I have an abundance of experience when I was young." He laughs earning a look of exasperated fondness from Qing Yang.

Qing Yang began, "Uncle." But was interrupted.

Mei Fang came closer looking perplex at a letter, "Uncle Tian. It’s a register letter from a law firm."

Xing Tian took the letter, "Law firm?" He opened it and started to read then glances up to Qing Yang.

Qing Yang noted the paleness on his uncle's face, "What’s going on? “His uncle handed him the letter, "What’s wrong?" He glances at it quickly reading it. The flash of words ~Plaintiff Yang Na Na~ was bold he glances to his Uncle surprised, "Why is Na Na taking legal action against you?" This wasn't how he imagined would happen just by the meeting of Na Na and his uncle.

Mei Fang echoed her confusion too, "huh?"

Xing Tian said, "I don’t know. And it’s not to carry out foster obligations. It’s a request to compensate for damage."

"Foster Obligations?" Qing Yang glances back down at the letter, why would Na Na have a law suit on foster obligations, he knew that her mother died, but then it brings along the questions on her father. Did Uncle adopt Na Na before? Though the amount of money was quite a lot, he didn't understand what was going on in Na Na's mind.

However, he supposed Zi Feng was right; they would have to go to the source for answer. "Uncle, I am going to go to the amusement park where Na Na works...and find out what is going on. This has to be a misunderstanding right?"

"I will go with you. Perhaps she mistaken me or there is a giant misunderstanding?" Uncle Tian didn't like seeing the desperate agony over Qing Yang's face. A legal action to any Taiwanese was like a slap, and Uncle Tian never recalled having any children.

Qing Yang bites his lips as he peer at the note one more time, "It has to be a misunderstanding." It wouldn't be a prank because that was not Na Na's way, but he was feeling churlish in his thoughts. Na Na wasn't the type to trick people or manipulate them; he just hopes this was all a misunderstanding but to take these legal actions.  He worried if this was why Na Na choose to not talk to him, weren't they supposed to be family? Shouldn't she have come to him to talk about this?

A lot of thoughts were going through his mind, nodding, he said, "I cannot stop thinking about it Uncle, how about we close shop and go now?" He took out his phone and the card and started to type in the pass code to the surveillance cameras spotting Na Na working in a stage area, he glances up. "Na Na still at work."

Uncle Tian didn't dare comment on how Qing Yang knew, but got up, "Let’s go then!"
