After Yunyu calmed himself down, he stared at the sticky notes on the wall and nodded assuringly, "It's time for the next step."
"Next step?" Pupa asked. "What's the next step?"
Yunyu smiled and walked to the sticky notes. He pulled it one by one and tore the notes to shreds. He scattered the shredded paper all around his room and wrote something on an open book, which he put at the dining table, the same table where Long Shen ate just an hour ago.
Then, Yunyu opened his wardrobe to prepare for his departure.
Pupa observed the torn notes, Yunyu really destroyed everything, including the pink notes that were supposed to be this world's Bai Yunyu's most heartfelt message for Long Shen, "I thought these messages are supposed to be quite important for Long Shen, but why did you shred these to pieces?"
"Because his feeling will only hurt him," Yunyu said nonchalantly. "Bai Yunyu of this world can't get anything other than his own suffering because he doesn't do anything about his love for Long Shen. Like a damsel in distress, all he does is just keep hoping in his heart, hoping that Long Shen would accept him someday."
"I know how to make Long Shen realize how much he had wasted Bai Yunyu of this world, then after that, let me see what he will do next. Will he still act the jerk as he is right now, or will he change? My decision will depend on his action."
Pupa observed Yunyu, who was currently packing up his clothes in a suitcase. He packed up almost all his clothes, only leaving some that were given by Long Shen.
Well, it wasn't really a gift. Most of them were just Long Shen's old clothes that he didn't like, even though it was still in perfect condition. Long Shen thought Yunyu was dirt poor, so he just handed everything to Yunyu as a sign of his kindness. Though Bai Yunyu never wore any of it.
All he did was just washed everything, iron it and folded it. He put the box of clothes inside his wardrobe. The Bai Yunyu of this world loved Long Shen so much, and as his assistant, he knew that Long Shen HATED the obsessive fans that stalked him around and even stole his stuff.
So all Bai Yunyu of this world did was to keep Long Shen's clothes safe.
Yunyu stared at the box of old clothes for a while, then he took it and put it on the table. He put the note, a goodbye note, on top of the box and nodded, "Perfect, you will see some drama later, Pupa."
Pupa was pretty much curious about what Yunyu will do next. Since Yunyu seemed to be so determined to leave his rental apartment. Pupa hovered around the room and saw how Yunyu continued making it looked like a scene straight out of an angst drama movie. Shredded love writing from the sticky notes scattered everywhere, empty wardrobe, and a box of someone special's old clothes with a goodbye note on top.
"You're really good at being a drama queen," Pupa commented.
"Hehe, of course, I'm an actor after all! Thanks for your compliment," Yunyu cheered up a bit after he got complimented by Pupa.
"… it wasn't a compliment…"
"Aww, don't be shy, Pupa-Kun. I know you actually have a secret crush on me for a long time~" Yunyu winked at Pupa, and Pupa's machine inside its body rattled as if it was shuddering out of both fear and disgust.

After Yunyu made sure that everything was in order, he booked a plane ticket and was set to leave this evening.
"Where are we going?" Pupa asked.
"Bali baby~ We're going to have a nice trip in Bali. Don't you feel tired of seeing me having so much drama and running around every day serving Long Shen and Aaron Xu? I want to enjoy the beach being a bitch for the hunk as we hung around at the romantic seaside~" Yunyu said.
"Bali? How did you get the money? Aren't you supposed to be poor?"
"Long Shen pays quite nice, and Aaron Xu paid me double of him. Bai Yunyu of this world was actually very thrifty with lots of money in his saving. Why don't we spend his money instead? Now, now, I have a flight to catch. Better to arrive early, right?"
Yunyu went to the airport and did an early check-in for his luggage. Then he sat in a coffee shop to wait for his boarding.
[Pupa: Do you forget something?]
[Huh, eeehh passport? Sunscreen? Strawberry lube and condom?]
[Pupa:… you forgot to tell Aaron!]
[Ah, yes! Aaron. I totally forgot about him for the whole day!]
Yunyu unlocked his phone and was about to text Aaron Xu. But then realized that Aaron could be a good propeller for Long Shen to find him as he went missing.
"Alright, Boss Aaron. You're a good man that's definitely worthy of love. But your love is not me. You're just too good for me," Yunyu said to himself.
He called Aaron, and Aaron picked it up immediately, "H—Hello, Yunyu. Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up? It's weekend anyway. It's better if we go somewhere for a date, right?"
Yunyu was silent for a while. He kept listening to Aaron, who tried to find a good topic, so they could continue the call without being awkward. But it just didn't work in Yunyu said.
In the end, Yunyu finally interrupted Aaron's ramble and said, "Boss, I want to request something."
"Huh? What do you want? Is it something that you like? Let me buy it for you," Aaron was quite happy that Yunyu finally requested something from him. He thought Yunyu wanted him to buy something luxurious, but Yunyu's melancholic voice and the response was out of his expectation;
"No, Boss, it's not an item, but you can give it to me," Yunyu replied. "Boss, I request you to find a new assistant soon. Because I will leave for a long time to bury this painful feeling I have. I can't live like this forever."
"My time working for you is short, but I appreciate it always. Goodbye, Aaron."
"Wait—" Aaron wanted to ask more, but Yunyu hung up the call.
Beeeep.
Yunyu turned on the Airplane mode on his phone, and he boarded the flight.
