I Successfully Held Hands with My Former Bandmate on a Dating Show

Two male leads, entertainment industry, dating show, former boy band members, bickering enemies reunite after a breakup, sweet romance, healing [At first: a sharp-tongued, straight-laced bottom who’s a genius at roasting people × a double-standard top who quietly gives his all; later: a soft, adorable bottom who loves teasing his dog × a scheming, loyal, gentle dad-like top] (The way they get along changes over time, from bickering enemies to an unbearably lovey-dovey couple.) After his boy band disbanded, Sang Chen’s career sank to rock bottom. Everyone hated him, and his only chance to make a comeback was to join a dating show. But who would have thought he’d run into his former bandmate, Li An, who had betrayed him? What kind of terrible luck did he have? Complaining about fate wouldn’t help. He could only rely on himself to turn things around. With the other guests, Sang Chen: “A cute little blondie with curly hair.” With Li An, Sang Chen: “I could drown you in a spitball. Get as far away from me as possible!” “Don’t let me see that disgusting face of yours!” Inner monologue: Of all the things, why does he have to be so good-looking? It’s so hard being a sucker for pretty faces, sob~ Later... Li An: “I know you hate me. So do me the favor of looking at me a little longer. You’ll have an easier time throwing up later.” Sang Chen clenched his tiny fists, only for Li An’s much bigger hand to engulf them. “Ugh! Gross, let go of me!” Li An pinned him firmly against the wall, leaning close with his hawk-like eyes fixed on him. “This time, I won’t let you risk your life alone again. I’m sorry... I love you.” Even after all these years, Sang Chen still couldn’t forget the face that had made his heart pound when they first met as teenagers. “Li An, don’t leave me again.”
