The young handsome guy sat in a 24-hour convenience store, holding a cup of coffee.

Through the warm haze of the coffee’s steam, his phone rang again.

It was his roommate calling.

By now, two hours had passed.

He answered, a bit puzzled.

On the other end, his roommate’s voice sounded tired: “Where are you? I’m coming to pick you up and take you home.”

The young handsome guy was stunned, momentarily dazed. After a pause, he finally gave his location as his roommate anxiously pressed him for it.

Another half hour later.

He saw a car pull up to the roadside, and his roommate got out, wearing an overcoat with a cigarette between his fingers.

The wind tousled his bangs, the cold had flushed his cheeks red.

The young handsome guy felt that his roommate had never looked better.

He couldn’t take his eyes off him. He watched as his roommate spotted him, walked into the convenience store, and came right up to him. With a look of mild annoyance, his roommate pinched his cheek and said, “Idiot, what are you crying for? I came to get you.

The young handsome guy even started to think that his roommate was doing it on purpose.

In the middle of the night, he drove from City C to City S to pick him up.

From the moment he got out of the car, he crashed into the young handsome guy’s heart. The young handsome guy tightly wrapped his feelings, unwilling to reveal even a little bit.

He wondered if it was possible that his roommate liked him too.

That night, they once again slept together.

His roommate’s soft little thing once again proved that he didn’t like him.

The young handsome guy secretly wished that his roommate would be unable to perform.

Liking someone was really troublesome.

The young handsome guy shopped online and bought himself a lot of stylish outfits.

He tried on a look that was said to suit him—a trendy Korean style.

On a night when his roommate was preparing to go out to pick up beauties, the young handsome guy declared that he wanted to go too.

Without waiting for his roommate’s approval, he went to change clothes.

After some time trying different outfits, he aimed to show his roommate his handsome side.

When he finally came out, his roommate just frowned, glancing at the handsome guy’s ripped jeans and alluring eyeliner.

His features looked like they were about to scrunch up in disapproval.

“Ugly, hurry up and change.”

“……”

By the way, the rip wasn’t in the front; it was at the back, just below the line of his butt, near the top of his thigh.

The young handsome guy was unconvinced.

His outfit had been certified as stylish.

A few friends from his circle had all said that it looked great and was definitely eye-catching.

However, his roommate was rolling his eyes so hard it seemed like they were about to fly up to the ceiling.

He felt a bit discouraged.

Fidgeting, he pinched the edge of his jeans and asked, “Really not good-looking?”

“Not good-looking; go change.”

“Oh.”

The young handsome guy turned and went back to his room, completely missing his roommate’s face turning red in an instant and the awkward way he shifted his legs.

The music in the nightclub was deafening.

The young handsome guy rested his chin on his hand as he sat in the booth.

His roommate sat beside him, wearing an expression of complete indifference.

The eye makeup was gone, but the jeans were still on.

The roommate showed his discontent.

The young handsome guy, feeling rejected, shot his roommate a glare and got up to dance.

Before long, a crowd gathered around him.

The young handsome guy felt uneasy all over.

Just as he thought about finishing this dance and leaving, someone grabbed his backside.
