To the world, He Chusan was a portrait of discipline. He was the boy who lived in the front row of the lecture hall, his head always bowed, his voice barely a whisper. With his neat uniform and top-tier grades, he was the pride of his teachers-the silent scholar who seemed too innocent for the grit of the city. But Chusan's mind was not a sanctuary; it was a playground for the depraved. Hidden beneath his heavy textbooks were novels stained with ink and obsession. While his classmates dreamt of futures and careers, Chusan's imagination was fueled by the dark, the forbidden, and the erotic. He lived a double life-a saint by day, and a consumer of silk-bound sins by night. He was shy because he was hiding a fire that he feared would burn anyone who got too close. Then came the face that turned his fantasies into a fever. Xia Liuyi! The name was a rhythmic pulse in the morning news. The boy who had murdered his own father. The monster who had allegedly driven his mother to suicide. On the cover of the glossy magazines, Liuyi's eyes were cold, hollow, and dangerously sharp. To the public, he was a tragedy and a threat-a man who had inherited his father's cruelty. No one knew the truth of the blood on his hands; they only saw the killer. Chusan stared at the magazine cover until the edges curled under his trembling fingers. He didn't feel the horror the rest of the world felt. Instead, he felt a sickening, electric pull. He traced the jagged lines of the man's face, wondering if the reality of a murderer would taste as sweet as the fiction he devoured under his covers. He Chusan was a boy who lived for dreams. But as he tucked the magazine into his bag, right next to his honors thesis, he couldn't help but wonder: was he chasing a beautiful wet dream, or was he walking straight into a living nightmare?

"You're lying." Zavier spoke so low that even he barely heard his words himself. "Huh?" He picked up the volume of his voice this time, "You're lying." "No I'm not." "Okay, so if I was to come this close-" Zavier lifted Isaac's face by his chin and brought his face close to his. "- You would feel nothing." Isaac's nerves began to rise a bit, but maybe it was because of the alcohol that he wasn't terrified, "Yes. Exactly that." He agreed. "Even if our lips-" Zaviers lips brushed his, increasing his heart rate rapidly. It didn't last long, but it was enough to send Isaac's mind into a frenzy. "-brushed like this, you wouldn't feel anything." Isaac couldn't trust his voice, so just nodded, being full aware of the fact his cheeks were most definitely glowing red. "You lie a lot Isaac." Zavier whispered against his lips and leaned closer, making it look like he was about to close the gap. Isaac's eyes closed, expecting a pair of lips to meet his, but he was instead met with a bit of breeze from Zavier leaning backwards. A story where two boys find they have more in common than they'd like to think.

Dawson is- most people who don't know him would say- as straight as they come. And senior year away from home promises to be a big year for him: no parents in sight, a whole new set of friends, he just seems to have it all. Not to mention that all the pretty girls of the very private Wharton High are dying to get a taste of the new talk of the school. If only he could get Adam Hamilton's eyes out of his head. * "He dislikes him so much he is annoyed by the mere sound of his breathing. He dislikes him so much that he can't bring himself to ignore him; that even the way his stupid glasses perfectly sit on his symmetrical nose exasperates him; and his ridiculously blue eyes that take different shades of blue based on his mood and now Dawson knows that apathy is the ocean whereas rage is a starless night sky. And his jawline looks like it was sculpted by the hands of Michelangelo, but he dislikes him so much he can't look at his face without feeling his cheeks flush in anger. Truth is, Dawson dislikes him because Hamilton did something that no other person- despite their best efforts- ever managed to do. He made him feel weak."
