The Soda That Will Never Be Opened

He Weikong realized that he had fallen for his childhood friend, Jin Hegu.

But with all those years of friendship between them, any confession could be played off as a joke, just two good buddies being ridiculous with each other.

Besides, Jin Hegu was a famously homophobic, straight guy.

When they were kids, if another boy confessed to one of them, the brothers would go straight to the boy's parents, leaving anyone brave enough to pursue love utterly humiliated.

It was downright cruel.

But with his mixed-race good looks and wealthy family, he did have every reason to be proud.

It was only when He Weikong went from being a spectator to a character in the drama that he could no longer laugh.

Their excessive closeness became torment. Neither love nor hate could remain calm.

Every time he tried to push Jin Hegu away, Jin Hegu clung even tighter.

Every bit of intimacy was proof of their noble friendship.

.

Jin Hegu keenly sensed that He Weikong was spending less time with him, and had even secretly changed his university application, which had originally listed the same university as his.

Why was the person he'd cherished and cared for since childhood suddenly pushing him away?

He thought of countless possibilities. To get close again, he tried acting cute, giving him the cold shoulder, and pleading. He pulled out every trick in the book, only managing to keep their connection from completely breaking.

He thought Xiaokong had gotten wild at university, wanted to date, and had found someone he liked without telling him.

He knew perfectly well that He Weikong was a soft touch who couldn't be pushed around.

"Now that you have someone you like, you don't want your big brother anymore?"

"Didn't we promise that we'd stay together forever when we grew up?"

He became clingier and clingier. All he wanted in this life was to be with He Weikong. Even when they got old and went fishing, he wouldn't invite a third person along.

And he would never allow He Weikong to date anyone.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his ideas at all.

But He Weikong's gaze grew more and more evasive.

His once unstoppable tactics didn't work on his friend anymore. He often couldn't understand why He Weikong kept crying in front of him.

Then came one drunken night, an unspeakable dream, and a hazy movie that brought back the dazzling first glance of their meeting all those years ago...

At last, Jin Hegu realized that his feelings for He Weikong had long since crossed the boundary of friendship.

But his childhood friend was straight!!!

1.

The top looks like a cold, proud, handsome straight guy.

In reality, he's a gentle, clingy, ghostly flirt.

This "ghost" is both a devoted, lovesick, horny puppy and a possessive, dark, obsessive type.

2.

The bottom looks like a clear-eyed, saintly beauty.

In reality, he's suspicious, a teasing siren, and a fussy little handful.

3.

There's a little Cantonese, Hong Kong, and Macao influence. The top is mixed Chinese and Western.

4.

They are both convinced the other is straight. They're used to being intimate, thanks to both their shared culture and their perfect compatibility.

5.

They both have separation anxiety. The bottom really is a handful, and the top really spoils him without a shred of moral restraint. They're both hopelessly lovesick. Writing this was so satisfying for me. What pot matches what lid? They're made for each other!

6. Childhood friends become a couple, bittersweet yet purely sweet, definitely each other's first love.

Both sexually inexperienced, happy ending.

The whole book is finished and ready. I wrote it for myself, so read with confidence. ^V^

If there's a bonus chapter you'd like to see, leave a comment!

Writing this book was just so satisfying for me!
