"Do you really like me that much?"

Zhang Zhehan's eyes open wide. It feels as if a large needle has punctured his heart; from the hole, blood starts to flow out incessantly.

He never knew that words could hurt this much.

Above him, Gong Jun treats his silence as an affirmation.

"Is that it?" he smirks bitterly; the scent of alcohol drifts heavily from him, "Is that why you keep tolerating me, even if I've been nothing but mean to you?"

Why does it turn out like this? Where did they go wrong? Where did he go wrong?

He only wanted them to get along. He only wanted the two of them to be able to speak properly. It doesn't matter if this engagement their parents one-sidedly arranged for them ends up not working for them both. It's alright if they cannot be together, if the person he likes doesn't return his feelings. If they can just be friends, it will be more than enough.

As long as this person will stop despising him.

Is that too much to ask?

The bed creaks while sustaining the weight of two people. Their shadows continue to overlap in the darkness - one is pinning down the other, unwilling to let go. They share countless kisses, their bodies are connected to one another, bodily fluids mixing amidst the heavy gasps and indecent moans reverberating in the room.

They give and receive pleasure to and from each other.

But this intimate exchange between a pair of youths who are set to be wed in the future does not leave the slightest hint of happiness for them both, for one is hating and the other is hated.

"Why do you hate me so much?"

Zhang Zhehan's heart bleeds out at this thought. For ten years, he has been asking himself, wondering what mistake he has made to incite so much loathing from the man he loves.

Yes.

He loves him.

He loves this person.

From the moment his parents told him that he was to be engaged to the son of their friends.

From the moment they showed him his picture.

From the moment they first met in person.

Gong Jun is his first love, and he still loves him now, 10 years later after their parents introduced them to each other as a child.
