A Drop of Water Falls Gently [Showbiz]

*A beginner's practice piece. My writing isn't very good and it has lots of problems. I'll give it a major revision once I've improved.

You Chengjing avoids his nemesis for five years, then gets into the wrong car by mistake and spends the entire ride sleeping with his head on the other man's thigh.

In his dream, he even reenacts the confession he made five years ago.

When he wakes with a start and realizes who he's with, all he can think is that the nightmare is happening all over again.

After years apart, the bastard has become a top-tier star, but he's still just as much of a brute. He pins You Chengjing down and kisses him over and over in front of the media.

You Chengjing has been an obscure nobody ever since his debut, but one trending topic, #KissingInTheCarOnAManYouTrip, sends his traffic through the roof.

He gave up a bright future back then just to avoid this man, but now that they've met again, one piece of bad news follows another.

When he learns that he and the other man have been forced onto a dating show to fake a couple pairing, You Chengjing frantically gasps for air.

His hunger strike gets him nowhere. He wakes up in a hospital bed and breaks down at the sight of that amused, inscrutable face.

He thinks they'll spend the show bickering like lovers who fell out as teenagers. But to his surprise, the arrogant top-tier star undergoes a complete change of personality on the program.

The man who usually scowls at everyone is suddenly throwing himself at You Chengjing.

And this little has-been wants nothing to do with him.

The fans are outraged and blast You Chengjing all over the internet.

Ye Manzhou fires right back at them.

You Chengjing still wants nothing to do with him.

Truth or dare: You used to be trainee partners and roommates for years. How would you describe your relationship back then?

You Chengjing: We couldn't stand each other for five years.

Ye Manzhou: We shared a bed for five years.

You Chengjing: I hated you then, and I still hate you now.

Ye Manzhou: I loved you then, and I still love you now.

"As raindrops softly fall, I walk through spring, autumn, winter, and summer. With yesterday's love, I plant today's flowers."

- A second-chance romance set on a dating show, with lots of alternating flashbacks
