Don't Be Afraid

* Dual secret identities, a mild groveling arc

* Three-year age gap, both are bottoms, one takes the top role for love

* Two sweet girls, a straight womanizer x a shy, socially anxious coward

-I'm afraid of a lot of things, even you.

-Don't be afraid. I'll always be here with you.

Duan Xiao has mild social anxiety and has lived alone since graduating from university.

That is, until a recent college graduate moved in next door and became an "unexpected visitor" in her life:

"I'll leave a spare key with you, in case I forget mine again. It'll be convenient!"

"I bought extra food to reach the delivery minimum. I thought you'd like this, so you can have it~"

"I'm going out. Could you please look after my dog?"

"..."

Duan Xiao smiles awkwardly on the outside, while thinking: Someone save me!

The peace of her life is repeatedly disturbed, and in a panic, Duan Xiao blocks Mu Jingqing's contact information.

But... it's already too late. It seems her heart has...

When Duan Xiao finally works up the courage to turn back, Mu Jingqing is still wearing that carefree, happy expression, as if nothing has happened. She smiles and asks, "Need any help?"

Duan Xiao stammers, "...Yes."

As a "womanizer," Mu Jingqing would never let down any of her fish!

Unless...

She falls for a woman.

"Duan Xiao, I think I've really fallen for you!"

"...Goodbye!"

And so Mu Jingqing is blocked by the friend she'd been seeing for nearly half a year.

Note: The "fish" in this story's pond are just friends.

Theme: It's okay to be afraid. All living things with feelings are bound to have things they fear, and I'm here so you can face those fears with me.
