Time Stops, and the Straightforward Guy in a Four-Person Dorm Picks

This is an exciting college-dorm romance.

A likes B, and B likes C.

But C is an aloof heartthrob who returns nobody's feelings.

So the three of them are regular topics on the university forum, where everyone debates whether A will win B over first or B will finally get C to notice him.

As for the protagonist, that's D, the only invisible bystander in a dorm full of handsome guys. He's ordinary, a perfectly normal straight college guy. On the forum, he plays the role of [gossip insider] [CP enthusiast], just the romantic backdrop to his roommates' love lives.

Then one day, the straight D, who'd always gone unnoticed, suddenly gains an uncontrollable ability to [stop time].

Whenever he stumbles across an embarrassing scene, time randomly stops for an hour.

And during that time, only he can move.

The first time, late at night, beneath the music building, straight D comes across the suave playboy A holding a bouquet of roses and making a grand confession to B. C happens to be walking by after class.

Time stops in the middle of the love triangle, with only the heart-shaped candles flickering in the breeze.

The next second, the only person who can move, the straight guy, stares in shock. Just before the wind fans the candles into a blazing fire, he quickly grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays all three of them, then puts it away and quietly takes his leave.

The second time, the beautiful B stops C in the garden. He has just pulled out an envelope when C coldly turns away and rejects him. Watching from nearby, the playboy A lets out a cold laugh, loosens his tie, and hides behind a tree to wallow in his bitterness.

The next second, their eyes meet. The straight guy, embarrassed to be standing in a tree while catching a cat, and A, crawling around gloomily under the tree, both stare in shock. Time stops.

The straight guy sighs, jumps down from the tree with the cat in his arms, helps the crawling A to his feet, and even drapes a jacket over him.

The third time, the straight guy has learned his lesson and runs as soon as he sees A and B. From far away, he sees A and B, who are always tangled up in love and hate, suddenly turn on each other for no apparent reason and start fighting. He calmly walks past without expression and pulls open the door to the basketball court's shower room.

The next moment, he crashes into his aloof roommate C, who's just finished playing basketball and is coming out of the shower with wet hair.

C's tall figure looms over him, abs faintly visible. And the straight guy has just run headfirst into the arms of his famously germophobic roommate!

And worst of all, time stops again.

He's doomed.

This time, the straight guy finally breaks down!

Just then, the cold, languid C slowly turns his gaze toward him.

P.S.

1. A straight bottom with a random time-stopping ability who becomes irresistible to everyone later x a top-tier, possessive, aloof heartthrob top.

2. The top is C. He has skin hunger, falls in love with the bottom at first collision, and is extremely possessive and addicted to him.
