What?! My Online Date Is My Homophobic Rival

Turning Him Gay / Online Romance Identity Reveal / Entertainment Industry Boy Band / Variety Show

Ice-cold, scheming, handsome top-tier star who dotes on his husband x seductive, innocently sensual, silly beauty who has no idea he's flirting

-

Ji Yuen is the popular top member of a top-tier boy band, with a soft waist, long legs, a pure and seductive beauty, and a face the entertainment industry agrees is stunning. He's said to have turned plenty of straight men gay.

Shen Che is the entertainment industry's "top Alpha," bursting with hormones, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted with eight-pack abs, and a cold-faced handsome top-tier star.

Their differences in build, skin tone, and personality make every shot of them together crackle with sexual tension. They're so perfect for each other that even exchanging glances could get someone pregnant. And yet

They aren't close. In fact, their rival status is acknowledged by both of their fan circles.

That's because Shen Che is severely homophobic. Ever since the first day the group was formed, when he ran into Ji Yuen just after he'd showered, Shen Che has kept his distance.

-

The group is filming a live variety show, and Shen Che happens to be assigned to the same room as Ji Yuen.

While practicing dance, Ji Yuen's lips accidentally brush Shen Che's Adam's apple, and Shen Che's heart skips a beat. In the shower, Ji Yuen puts on Shen Che's underwear by mistake, leaving Shen Che's throat burning and uncomfortable. When they get up in the morning, Ji Yuen is disheveled, and Shen Che's breathing grows heavy.

Until one night, Ji Yuen sleepwalks into Shen Che's bed. His robe falls open, his full, pale, slender legs drape over the man's waist, and his thin lips are flushed red.

Unable to take it any longer, Shen Che grabs his wrist and pins him beneath himself, gritting his teeth as he holds back. "Ji Yuen, you'd better know when to stop. I'm not interested in you."

Ji Yuen wakes up. Not knowing how to explain the misunderstanding, he remembers that he's married to someone in a game and says softly, "It was just an accident. Actually, I have a boyfriend."

-

After coming clean, Ji Yuen breathes a sigh of relief and stops avoiding Shen Che.

He dances with only two buttons done up on his shirt, wears shorts so tight and short they reach his upper thighs, and calmly takes his clothes off right in front of Shen Che. After sleepwalking, he gives innocent, coquettish little whimpers.

He really likes his in-game spouse, and to put Shen Che at ease, he occasionally shows off their affectionate relationship.

Then one day, as he sends his spouse a voice message in a soft voice, calling him "big brother," Shen Che's phone suddenly lights up beside him.

Ji Yuen freezes.

At the same time, Shen Che, having heard that soft voice from outside the door, suddenly comes in and pins him in a corner.

Just imagining Ji Yuen lying beneath someone else, eyes hazy as he acts cute, his beautiful legs wrapped around another man, is enough to make Shen Che lose control.

He restrains the urge to kiss him and begs in a hoarse voice, "Could you break up with your boyfriend?"

#I'm jealous of myself

#Is my homophobic rival trying to teach me not to date online?

[Note: 1. Afraid of his celebrity identity being exposed, the bottom plays a female character in the game, which his assistant applied for.

2. There is a reason the top and bottom got married in the game. The top isn't flirting with two people at once.]

Reader's Guide:

1. Romance within the group; the entertainment industry is fictional. Fans, please don't read this from a fan's point of view.

2. One-on-one, both are each other's first love, pure romance, and sweet. The characters aren't based on real people, so please don't associate them with anyone.

3. The top is homophobic. Whether in the game or in real life, even after being turned gay, he only likes the bottom.

[Turning Him Gay / The Long Road to Winning Him Back / Secret Crush]

Wolfish, cocky bad-boy top x sweet, innocent, seductive bottom

As a straight man, He Huaiyu hates guys like Li Chu, who look pretty and sweet but are supposedly "deeply calculating," the sort that have countless guys chasing after them.

Not only is he a "gold digger," he also "played" He Huaiyu's friend.

After they're forced to share a rental, He Huaiyu is even less willing to give Li Chu the time of day.

But when Li Chu gets hungry in the middle of the night, He Huaiyu gets up to make him a late-night snack.

When Li Chu gets a fever, He Huaiyu stays up all night, keeping the IV tube warm for him.

When Li Chu casually mentions wanting to try a viral cake from a famous online shop, He Huaiyu braves the freezing wind and queues outside for two hours.

When their friends tease him, he draws a clear line between them. But when someone pursues Li Chu, he gets so anxious he can barely sit still.

Finally, after one intense argument that only goes one way, Li Chu moves out of their shared apartment.

He Huaiyu gets what he wanted and throws parties in the apartment for two days

One night in the depths of winter, He Huaiyu stands beneath the dark dormitory building, staring at the window for a long time. He types out the words one by one: "Can you come out? I just want to see you."

"Just for a little while. Please."

*After they get together, Li Chu accidentally discovers posts in He Huaiyu's phone search history: "Why do I get hard whenever I see my roommate?" "What are the signs of a young person having a racing heartbeat?" "What should I do if I keep getting fevers?" "Why are my feet cold even in summer?" "What are healthier late-night snacks?" "How can I improve my allergies?" "What should I do if I can't stop wanting to have sex?" "How can I have sex without it hurting?"

-One-on-one, both are virgins. The bottom isn't a gold digger and has nothing to do with the top's friend.
