A Point of Recognition

Tan Yu has never known failure, not once in his life, until he meets a tough nut to crack during his first year of high school. Refusing to accept defeat, he resolves to "win her over" and make her part of his social circle. But for some reason, things gradually take a strange turn...

First day of school

Tan Yu: "Hey, want to get to know each other?"

The girl keeps her head down, doing her homework. She glances up at Tan Yu, who's talking to her, then lowers her gaze again. Her pen never stops moving.

Tan Mo: "..."

Tan Yu clears his throat. "Ahem. Hi, classmate. I'm your new deskmate. Let's get along."

Tan Mo: "..."

Tan Yu: "..."

Tan Mo thinks: What the hell...

Just as Tan Yu is about to curse her out in his head, unable to stand it any longer, the girl finally looks up. Her bright, limpid eyes meet his. The corners of her eyes droop slightly, her lashes are thick, and a few strands of bangs rest lightly against her cheek.

Tan Mo: "Mm. Hello, new classmate."

For a moment, he is stunned.

Many years later

Tan Yu laughs. "You know, back then I really thought you were a nasty-faced bully who was impossible to get along with."

Tan Mo says helplessly, "Am I really that expressionless?"

Tan Mo: "Maybe you just hit all my pet peeves."

Tan Yu: "You don't believe me? I'll prove it to you."

With that, Tan Yu leans in toward Tan Mo's face.

Startled by his face suddenly looming closer, Tan Mo says, "All right, all right, I believe you."

Tan Yu: "You're scared? You hate me? Boohoohoo TnT"

Tan Mo thinks: Why the hell am I dating him? I must have had my head slammed in a door back then.

Gentle, tender Tan Mo (female) x outwardly sunny, inwardly aloof Tan Yu (male)

P.S. Tan Mo is an INFP. She actually talks a lot, but only with people she knows well. She really hopes to meet someone on the same wavelength as her. Even with Tan Yu, she remains wary, until the person who truly belongs to her arrives.

P.S. This is neither fake nor actual incest! They share a surname by coincidence. For certain reasons, Tan Yu didn't take his father's surname and instead took his mother's.
