Waking Up in an Escape Game: Did Something Go Wrong?

[I'm writing this one next. Cool, quiet, beautiful but tragic bottom x obsessive, deranged, sickly top]

After falling into a coma for three years because of an accident, Shen Yan wakes up to find himself inside an escape game.

Each level is based on a nightmare a player had before entering the game. To return to reality, players must earn enough points.

After clearing level after level and climbing to first place on the leaderboard, Shen Yan enters his own nightmare.

It's so dark he can't see his hand in front of his face. He lies on the ground, clearly feeling cold fingers brush over his cheek, then stop at his neck and gradually tighten.

As he struggles to breathe, someone leans down close to his ear and chuckles. Their voice is dangerous, yet tender and affectionate, like a lover's. "Dear, I've found you."

The top player on the leaderboard, Shen Yan, is cool and composed. His face is so beautiful that even a frown can make people's hearts flutter.

Some people's first impression of him: Quiet and boring. What a waste of that face.

Later: How does he have both the looks and the skill?

Everyone assumes he'll stay cold and unapproachable until he leaves the game.

Until one day, the door opens. In the dim light, Shen Yan walks unsteadily, breathing unevenly. His long lashes flutter, and a blush gradually spreads across his cheeks.

The man who emerges behind him is pale and handsome, so frail that he gasps after every few steps, as if he could die at any moment.

Under the gaze of countless onlookers, his fingers gently trace Shen Yan's neck, stopping at a dark red mark and slowly rubbing it. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

The crowd watching is struck dumb.

[The top should appear quite late]
