[Soft, adorable girl x cool, difficult man]
[Chu Yu x Espen]
Late one night, Chu Yu was scrolling online when she came across a voice that made her fall in love.
Its owner was Espen, a pet blogger on YouTube with thirty million followers. Every day, he shared videos of himself interacting with his silver shaded cat. He never showed his face, only his low, magnetic voice and a glimpse of his fair, long-fingered wrist as he petted the cat.
That night, Chu Yu watched every video he had posted. Caught up in the moment, she made a bold declaration in the comments:
"This kind of thing should be made into female-oriented content, so I can enjoy it."
Then she went straight to bed. When she woke up the next morning, her phone had exploded with notifications.
The aloof blogger, who never replied to anyone, had sent her a voice message:
"I dare to make it. Do you dare to act in it, you little brat?"
Chu Yu is an international student. She's slender and pretty, with excellent grades, and is known throughout the business school as a model student.
No one knows that she moonlights as a fanfiction writer under the pen name Yu Ya You. She has amassed seven hundred thousand followers on a reading app, and her readers praise her writing as seasoned and full of steamy encounters. She's a star in the fanfiction world.
But Chu Yu is good at maintaining her good-girl image. At school, she's a straight-A student adored by teachers and admired by classmates. At her landlord's house, she's a helpful tenant who eagerly does chores and always knows just what to say.
One day, her landlady introduces her to her mixed-race son, Espen, who's just returned from a gap year.
Espen has the striking bone structure of an East Asian man. He's a top student from an Ivy League school, wealthy, handsome, fit, and fluent in Chinese.
More importantly, the silver shaded cat he brought home looks exactly like the one owned by the pet blogger Chu Yu follows.
There are countless silver shaded cats in the world. A similar coat color isn't all that unusual.
After returning, Espen moves into the room next door to Chu Yu's. He's aloof and taciturn, and being around him is incredibly intimidating.
Even though Chu Yu finds him handsome, she tries to take the long way around to avoid him every day.
But then she unexpectedly discovers that Espen is the pet blogger she follows.
Chu Yu is terrified. On the one hand, she's in love with Espen's voice. On the other, she's afraid her secret identity won't stay hidden.
According to Murphy's Law, the thing you fear most is the thing that will happen.
Sure enough, one day Chu Yu is carefully carrying a box of manuscripts downstairs when she runs into Espen. Her explicit 18+ fanfiction is scattered all over the floor, and he is the protagonist.
Espen reads it through carefully, then clarifies, "My type isn't busty blondes. And I don't sleep around."
Chu Yu is so mortified she wants to bang her head against the ground. From that day on, she goes out of her way to avoid Espen and starts looking for a new place to live.
But on moving day, he hoists her over his shoulder and carries her into his room in front of the silver shaded cat.
In the dim light, he strokes her flushed earlobe and whispers hoarsely, "What are you hiding from? Didn't you say you wanted me to make you feel good?"
Later, Espen announces his girlfriend on a livestream. The girl nestled in his arms wears cat ears and smiles shyly at the camera. "Hello, I'm Yu Ya You."
The whole internet goes wild. Before long, Espen turns off the camera.
Just as all his fans assume the stream is over, the man's hoarse voice comes through the livestream.
"Yuyu, sitting on my waist costs extra."
"Did I say you could sit there?"
"Did I say you could?"
"Be good."
"You want to sit on it that badly, hmm?"
"Bite here first."
The entire livestream audience goes wild.
