The Feisty Little Artist and Her Doctor Daddy

Nan Yu, a pretty, refined commission artist with a modest following, hit the lowest point of his life at twenty-two.

He passed out by the roadside from gastroenteritis, threw up all over a kind passerby, then couldn't hold it in any longer and had the runs in the bushes at the park.

Lin Shen, the kind doctor who got puked on: "Need another tissue?"

Nan Yu, who had already dug a hole and buried the evidence: ...I want us both to die!

Nan Yu: "Thank you. I'll pay for your clothes. Please don't tell anyone. I'm begging you."

Lin Shen: "Don't worry."

After paying him back, thanking him, and deleting each other's contact info, Nan Yu's parents forced him to move. They said they'd found a distant uncle in the same city to look after him. He lived right next door and was a doctor.

Lin Shen leaned against the doorway with a faintly amused smile. "Nephew, we meet again."

Nan Yu: "...Please just leave me alone."

Lin Shen: "Hey, I can't help it. I promised someone. And you wouldn't want me to tell them about..."

Nan Yu knew he was about to bring up that night. In desperation, he covered Lin Shen's mouth, gritting his teeth. "Fine, look after me!"

Extra scene one:

Once they got to know each other, Nan Yu realized Lin Shen was actually a pretty great guy. He cooked well, was good at games, and didn't keep a tight leash on him like Nan Yu had feared.

Nan Yu started treating Lin Shen like a good buddy. The homebody artist began showing up at his door every day with snacks, drinks, or games.

Getting into Lin Shen's place wasn't easy.

Step one: Scrub your hands raw with hand sanitizer, then dry them.

Step two: Change into the clean lounge clothes Lin Shen kept there for him.

After getting home from his night shift, Lin Shen heard a noise. The night-owl Nan Yu, already in nothing but his underwear, dashed in by habit to scrounge for a late-night snack.

Lin Shen: "...What are you doing?"

Nan Yu: "I have to take my clothes off and put yours on anyway, so it's easier to take them off before I come in."

Lin Shen: "..."

Extra scene two:

Insomniac Nan Yu discovered a human-shaped sleeping aid. Whenever he slept in the same bed as Lin Shen, his sleep quality was especially good.

Nan Yu knocked on the door with his pillow in his arms. "Please. You wouldn't want me to keep suffering from insomnia, would you?"

Lin Shen: "I'm gay."

Nan Yu: "! ...Oh. Sorry to bother you."

Lin Shen: "I was joking. Come in. Pay half the bed fee."

Nan Yu: "Are you a capitalist or something?!"

Extra scene three:

The abstinent little homebody artist had a springtime dream.

Nan Yu: "Oh no, oh no, oh no."

Lin Shen: "What's wrong?"

Nan Yu: "...I have a friend who dreamed he kissed his good buddy. Do you think that's normal?"

Lin Shen: "Oh, you dreamed about me?"

Lin Shen whispered like a devil: "You're gay."

Nan Yu bristled. "Damn it, I'm not!"
