Shared Breaths [Not Blood-Related]

*Fake step-sibling relationship, older top *Dark and brooding older woman x lively younger woman After Cheng Shuangying is abandoned by her family, Wu He's mother brings her home. Cheng Shuangying is dark and aloof, rarely smiling, yet she lets Wu He boss her around as if she owns the place. Wu He takes her care for granted, until one day she accidentally crosses a line. The bedroom door is locked. Wu He watches helplessly as Cheng Shuangying walks toward her. A warm palm strokes her face, pale with fright. Cheng Shuangying speaks calmly. "You ought to give me something in return." - Wu He finally realizes that Cheng Shuangying has been waiting for her chance. But she refuses to be the one at a disadvantage, and decides to get her revenge. By day, they each go about their business, keeping their distance as if nothing is wrong. At night, they wander from place to place in an empty house. That night, they are drenched in sweat. Wu He tumbles into the bathtub, splashing water everywhere. In a daze, her finger slips through the pull tab of a can and gets stuck. She can't pull it free. "Look, doesn't it look like a ring?" Wu He smiles at her, but for no reason, her eyes turn red. Cheng Shuangying simply watches her in silence. Things shouldn't have turned out this way. It doesn't look like a ring so much as a shackle. *Dark and brooding older woman x lively younger woman Theme: Strive for a better life
