Cheerful Bottom, Cold and Aloof Top
1v1, campus secret-crush story, HE
With the start of sophomore year of high school just around the corner, Shen Huai'an's childhood friend tells him he's been assigned to the same class as the grade's top student. Back in freshman year, that student beat Shen Huai'an on every exam. They hadn't even been in the same building then, but now they'll not only be in the same building, they'll be in the same class. Perfect. Shen Huai'an can finally see whether he can shake off the title of perennial runner-up.
He enters the classroom ready for an all-out fight, but...
He realizes that the top student seems a little strange.
... (After going through all sorts of things)
His childhood friend says, "I think the class monitor treats you differently. Do you think he likes you?"
"...???"
Later:
"I like you."
Don't do this, man. Don't pay me special attention. I'm straight!!!
But...
It turns out even a straight guy can be bent...
"Shen Huai'an, I love you."
"I love you too."
Theme: Grounded in everyday high school life, this story portrays the boys' pure competitiveness, companionship, and secret crushes.
