I Haven't Even Tried to Turn You Straight, So Why Are You Gay?

1.

In September 2001, five-year-old Ye Fei was brought back to China by her mother's friend, Lin Jingyao. There she met Lin Youqing, who had been discharged from the NICU just a week earlier. The tiny baby was adorable, quiet and pretty as a doll.

"There were twins at first, but in the end, she was the only one who survived."

When Ye Fei heard Aunt Lin introduce her that way, she could only think how pitiful the baby was.

Ye Fei looked at little Lin Youqing, and Youqing looked back at her. Suddenly, she smiled, her tiny hand reaching out into the air. Seeing how carefully Ye Fei was watching her, Aunt Lin took Ye Fei's hand and placed it in Youqing's.

"Little A-Qing, from now on, A-Fei is your big sister. We're family."

Back then, Ye Fei truly wanted to be a good big sister to the little girl. She wanted to take care of her and protect her for the rest of her life.

She never imagined that in September 2018, when Aunt Lin called, Ye Fei and Lin Youqing would be kissing.

Eighteen-year-old Lin Youqing had fallen into unrequited love. Just as she was being tortured by the secret feelings of a young girl, which no one knew about, she stumbled upon Ye Fei's notebook. It recorded the dark, wretched thoughts beneath Ye Fei's bright and flawless exterior:

[Why do you have to be so beautiful? Why does everyone like you? Why do you smile at them? Don't smile at them. I'm going crazy. No, I've already gone crazy.]

[You did something bad. I know it was on purpose, but that's great. Now I get to help you with something again.]

Lin Youqing closed the notebook, her heart pounding.

She thought: This is a very good answer.

So when I was plotting to seduce you, you were suffering just as much as I was.

One day after they got together, Ye Fei was organizing some documents for Lin Youqing while Youqing ate cake and flipped through that diary. She asked Ye Fei, "Big Sister, when did you fall for me?"

Ye Fei didn't look at her, keeping her eyes on the documents. Half-jokingly, she replied, "When you left your sheet music in my office, and I opened it to find my face drawn all over it, covered in lip prints."

Lin Youqing leaned closer to Ye Fei, her eyes shining. "Back then, I hadn't figured out how to pursue you yet."

"I hadn't even made a move on you. How did you turn gay already?"

She muttered, half pouting and half sulking.

Ye Fei is both her big sister and her wife.

["I'm a rotten apple, and she's an orange with golden goodness still inside. We're made for each other. We're a perfect match."]

*Third-person narration

*Foster care | switch | unorthodox teacher-student relationship | five-year age gap | the two female leads aren't on the same household register; Ye Fei calls Lin Jingyao Auntie

*Fraill, innocent-looking-on-the-outside-but-dark-and-obsessive younger sister x outwardly respectable, bright and noble but actually unhinged, gloomy ghost of an older sister | flawed characters, very flawed.
