Overtones

A pure-love story about two overworked office workers

One-on-one, happy ending, slow burn, each other's one and only, and each other's first love

The top first met the bottom in a hotel room.

Their mutual friend had organized a road trip along the Qinghai-Gansu route. The top was joining a day late, and when he arrived, the bottom was catching up on sleep at the hotel.

He was sleeping so soundly. Even curled up in a corner, making do, his peaceful sleeping face brought a sense of calm to the top, who was weighed down by work.

It was the perfect meet-cute for love at first sight. They chatted easily during the trip, and under the desert stars, even their casual glances seemed to spark.

But they were no longer fearless teenagers. Wearing the armor of adulthood, they dared to take off on a whim, but didn't dare to fall in love on a whim.

Taking all kinds of real-world factors into account, they stopped there and became nothing more than friends who liked each other's posts.

They met again a month later, when a job transfer sent the bottom to the top's city.

With “long distance” no longer an excuse, it was impossible to tell who made the first move. Two parallel lines that had been afraid to cross the boundary became entangled, beyond their control and, as if by fate, destined to meet.

Perhaps it'll be:

Game planner / a bit of everything / steady but cheeky top

Brand marketing / outdoor enthusiast / bright and resilient bottom

Anything could change before I start writing~

Probably a short, sweet story.
