I've Had Enough!

Coming soon: Could an Honest Straight Man End Up in a Love Triangle? Blurb at the bottom.

Everyone knows that Jiang Zhiyu, the art department's prized beauty, and Ji Wenchao, the finance department's campus heartthrob, can't stand each other. One is an openly gay man with a flamboyant personality, while the other is intensely homophobic.

The day they were assigned to the same dorm room, Ji Wenchao boldly told Jiang Zhiyu, "Girls aren't allowed in the boys' dorm."

Jiang Zhiyu was so furious he laughed. There was no way he could let that slide without getting revenge!

So:

When Ji Wenchao returned from going out, he heard a soft, sweet voice call out, "Wenchao."

When Ji Wenchao handed Jiang Zhiyu a glass of water, that delicate, smooth skin seemed to brush against the back of his hand by accident.

At bedtime, beneath the warm light, the beauty propped himself up on one arm and lay on his side, his collar slipping off one shoulder to reveal an exquisite collarbone. He didn't seem to care at all.

Everywhere he went, there was seduction. Every corner hid a trap, all waiting for Ji Wenchao to fall in and never climb out.

Ji Wenchao was sure he had seen through Jiang Zhiyu's intentions. Time and again, he gritted his teeth and warned him, "My patience has its limits!"

Jiang Zhiyu didn't care. If anything, he went even further.

What better way to get revenge on a homophobic straight man than to seduce him?

Once Jiang Zhiyu had gotten his fill of revenge, he decided it wasn't fun anymore and walked away. He thought that would be the end of it, but he never expected that...

On a night of torrential rain, Ji Wenchao, soaked to the skin, knocked on his door. Like a pitiful, abandoned big dog, he asked:

"I have nowhere to go. Could you let me stay for one night?"

-

The second time Ji Wenchao came over, Jiang Zhiyu happened to pass by the laundry room and saw the tall man slowly reaching for the clothes he'd just taken off.

The thin fabric gathered into a tiny bundle in the man's palm. Then he slowly lowered his head and buried his prominent nose in it, inhaling deeply. His eyes were bloodshot with an unhealthy flush, and his shoulders and back trembled faintly with excitement.

Jiang Zhiyu: ???!!!

Oh no, it looks like I took things too far!

Formerly homophobic straight man, now an intensely obsessive, love-struck top x beautiful, cunning, revenge-seeking bottom

The top is still a normal person at first, but later becomes extremely obsessive. The kind who wants to lick the sweat off the bottom's body. Please read with caution if that's not your thing.

Could an Honest Straight Man End Up in a Love Triangle?

Lately, Shi Qiu has noticed something strange. His belongings keep disappearing. Sometimes it's an ordinary ballpoint pen, sometimes a T-shirt, and sometimes something even more private.

His usually peaceful life has also changed dramatically. It all started when three outstanding suitors suddenly appeared around his beloved younger brother, and Shi Qiu became their only way to learn what the younger brother liked.

The warm, sunny campus heartthrob loves asking him about his younger brother, then takes his hand and asks whether doing this or that might make his brother uncomfortable.

The outstanding but aloof upperclassman also approaches him and strikes up conversations so he can learn more about his brother. Every time they part, he gives Shi Qiu a polite hug, though the difference in their strength is so great that Shi Qiu feels a little suffocated.

Then there's the gloomy, unsociable supervisor at his internship. To get closer to his brother, the supervisor has Shi Qiu, whose build is similar to his brother's, stand still while he personally takes his measurements to have clothes made. But why does he need to measure even that tiny piece of fabric?

Come to think of it, his belongings seem to have started disappearing around the time these people showed up.

They all have perfectly good reasons to be around Shi Qiu, but for some reason, he can't shake the feeling that something is off. So he tells his younger brother about everything that's happened lately.

His brother smiles, wraps his arms around Shi Qiu's waist, and rubs his chin against his shoulder. "Big Brother, they want to pursue me and learn what I like. Knowing my measurements and making sure I'm comfortable are the bare minimum. Otherwise, why would I get together with them?"

His brother adds, "Big Brother, they're practicing on you so they can treat me better later. You're all I have, so you want me to be happy, don't you? That means you'll personally pick the person who's best for me, right?"

He says again, "Big Brother, it doesn't matter that you're straight. Just help me vet them, so I don't accidentally let them take advantage of me."

Shi Qiu still feels that something is wrong, but he wants his brother to be happy. So even though he feels a little uncomfortable, he continues to cooperate.

But...

After waking up in the dorm, he finds small red bruises on his body.

After drinking the milk his upperclassman gives him, he feels terribly drowsy.

The intimate apparel his supervisor buys for him always seems damp for some reason.

When his rivals meet, they fight over his water glass and covet the half-eaten popsicle left in his mouth. They glare at one another as if they want to tear each other apart, radiating an uncontrollable malice.

Even as a straight man, Shi Qiu can tell that these changes are terribly wrong. He fearfully tells his younger brother about his unease. Then his brother hands him a glass of milk, and Shi Qiu falls into a bizarre, fantastical dream.

In the dream, his younger brother is no longer innocent and pure. Something strange seems to twist behind him as he grits his teeth and curses the three familiar figures at his side:

"Idiots! Big Brother almost found out!"

Shi Qiu sees four pairs of identical eyes, cold and savage, yet filled with overwhelming obsession and desire whenever they look at him.

The next day, he wakes up in his school dorm. His brother says he didn't come home the night before, but Shi Qiu finds proof in his room that he did.

Now even his brother is acting strangely.

Shi Qiu stumbles into an escape attempt and accidentally falls into the arms of Lu Jingbai, the newly appointed head of the Lu family. The man is gentle, refined, and dependable, and he carefully soothes Shi Qiu's distress. The four figures haunt him like nightmares, and only by Lu Jingbai's side can Shi Qiu feel safe.

Until one day, he accidentally sees four familiar figures twisting within the shadow of the man as he showers.
