Coffee Out of Control

An Yu never imagined he would run into his old nemesis again under such miserable circumstances.

Outside, a violent storm rages. Inside, his hair and the hem of his clothes drip with water. The air conditioner is blowing warm air, and fragrant hot coffee is ready to drink.

All signs point to his old nemesis having it better than he does right now.

They were enemies for years, unable to stand each other.

They fought and competed, trading wins and losses.

Later, An Yu moved to another province, and he and Shen Yanche lost touch.

Nearly ten years later, Shen Yanche thought their paths would never cross again, but fate had other plans.

He thinks of the hardship hidden beneath his seemingly fortunate exterior, and of how he came to meet An Yu in such a state. He wonders what An Yu will think if he sees the truth.

But no matter what, he is no longer alone in this city.

* 1v1, both are virgins, happy ending, a little melodramatic (sorry, I couldn't help myself)

* The bottom has an ex, and they did kiss, but there were no feelings involved and it was all a big misunderstanding

* Friends with benefits to lovers, a short contemporary romance focused on the relationship, with a bittersweet, healing tone

* A quiet story about old enemies reuniting after many years and healing themselves and each other, with a touch of redemption
