I'm Being Hounded by My Damp, Ghostly First Love

[To be posted after the full manuscript is complete]

"Doctor, I think my psychological problems have gotten worse. I've started seeing things."

The doctor reassured me. "Didn't you say last time that you'd moved on? Don't rush. Tell me carefully what's been happening."

I stammered, unsure how to begin. How could I tell him that when I went back to my old school to pay respects to my first love, who died young, I hallucinated that a ghost dragged me into the restroom and violated me, and that I suspected the ghost was my aloof, proud, and popular first love?

Thinking back, my first love had been so cold and reserved. He'd blush just from holding my hand. How could he possibly have done something like that in a restroom...?

That's what I was thinking as I left the psychologist's office.

Suddenly

An immense force seized me, covered my mouth, and dragged me into a restroom stall at the clinic. Something cold and invisible pressed down on me, biting my earlobe until it nearly bled. Every word it breathed was sticky and damp. "Take a good look. Am I a hallucination?"

At eighteen, He Xiaoxiao had her first love. His name was Zhu Yu, and he had a fashionable, captivating image: a poor, aloof, brilliant top student and campus heartthrob. They agreed to attend the same university and raise a dog, a cat, and some succulents together.

Just before the college entrance exams, someone jumped from the school building.

The body landed right at his feet.

He looked down.

It was Zhu Yu.

"I love you," I heard him say.

"Will you come be with me? Stay by my side forever."

*

He Xiaoxiao (uke): Cheerful and optimistic, with unwavering resolve

×

Zhu Yu (seme): Poor, insecure campus heartthrob (in life); gloomy, obsessive stalker (after death)

1. I've never been a ghost, so this is told from the uke's perspective.

2. True-love-only fans, both of them. The boys save each other. One-on-one romance, both are each other's only one.

3. The seme and uke are already eighteen when they start dating!

4. I'm ready for three hundred rounds of battle with the censors. Rest assured, everyone!

5. Every bad review is enough to knock me down QAQ
