(A story about a receiver who grows and heals with the help of his fans and his love interest. Hope you enjoy it.)
Ren Situ has spent years deliberately avoiding outsiders. Aside from staying in the lab and doing what he can for his family, he goes out of his way to avoid contact with anyone but a select few. Yet somehow, he can't bring himself to be cold toward the one celebrity he likes.
If he couldn't care less about himself, then he cared about that person to an extreme.
But Ren Situ's experience had taught him that the things he liked, the things he desired, could destroy everything. He was afraid of that side of himself, so he kept his feelings suppressed, only daring to follow the other man in secret from afar, never appearing in front of him.
He thought he would have to spend the rest of his life looking up at that shining figure. He never expected to get the chance to receive vocal and dance lessons from him in person. Unable to resist, he gave in to desire and joined a talent show.
What he hadn't expected was that the other man seemed to be paying attention to him, too. One morning, Ren Situ couldn't hold back and blurted out, "Bro, are you secretly in love with me?"
The other man answered indulgently, "You're only figuring that out now? The fans are all so happy. Shouldn't you give me an answer, too?"
His avoidant personality left him speechless, and all he could do was hurry away.
But why were the fans all shipping them? For the people who had given him warmth, should he start feeding the fans some sugar with that man? It's just fan service, so it should be fine, right?
Looking at their ship's number-one fan forum, and the man clinging to his side and refusing to let go, he belatedly realized:
#Have I taken this too far?
#What happened to all this being fake fan service?
#How did fake sugar turn into real sugar?
#I can barely handle his advances anymore.
#Fans, stop fanning the flames! You're about to give your star away and make them an official couple!
Little Extra:
"Come on, lower it a little more. Don't be so tense!" Yuan Bai pressed down on Ren Situ's shoulder.
"Mm, no, it hurts too much. I can't relax!" Ren Situ shook his head, his face twisted in discomfort.
"I know you like to be in control of everything, but no one can control everything! Listen to me and relax a little. Trust me, then I can help you!"
"No, Yuan Bai... I can't take it anymore!"
After a difficult stretch and some relaxation exercises, Yuan Bai looked a little helpless.
"Sigh, dancing requires you to stretch as well as stay in control. Stop tensing your muscles all the time. Extend your body, and you'll dance better!"
Ren Situ stood up, his cool face full of innocence. "Yuan Bai, you know I'm naturally controlling. If I can't do something, I just can't do it!"
Yuan Bai thought for a moment, then smiled warmly. "Haven't you occasionally handed control over to me? Do that now, too. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Don't you trust me? It'll be just like it is between us normally~"
If he wanted to dance better, did he have no choice? But when that happened, his mind went completely blank! Ren Situ recalled how he'd felt and reluctantly agreed. "All right, but you promised. This is only dance practice!"
"Of course. It's only dance practice (^0^)"

Theme: Even so, the world is still beautiful.
