"Yunyu, don't leave me."

Ronghui noticed someone watching from a seat inside the café. His gaze darkened and he pulled Yunyu closer to him, "We can eat in another café."

Yunyu was confused when Ronghui suddenly changed his mind. Ronghui kept mentioning about this café when they were in the bus before, because this café was apparently a popular spot for couples.

And now Ronghui changed his mind so suddenly. This was completely out of Ronghui's character setting as a firm young man. He asked the system:

[What's up with Ronghui? Pupa, something is really, really wrong with him suddenly.]

[Pupa: Maybe staying in this Romance world gradually decreases your already abysmal brain function. Do you really think that Junze and Ronghui will not cross paths?]

[Pupa: Look at your left, the third seat near the window.]

Yunyu followed the system's direction, and his body jolted when he saw Junze sitting on the third table from his position, he leaned his body on the mirror and smirked at him. Yunyu backed off a bit. He pulled Ronghui's sleeve and said, "L—Let's go to another café, Ronghui."

Ronghui's wary gaze didn't leave Junze at all, he pulled Yunyu and intended to leave the café. But then, a voice rang from the third seat, "Wah! Yang Ronghui, the star of Youth Temptation and Wallflowers Web drama is here! He must've been waiting for someone here!"

This café was a popular spot for young girls and couples, thus, when Junze's voice rang through the room, everyone immediately followed the pointed finger of Junze. They saw a man with black hoodie, black cap and face mask to cover half of his face. Although Ronghui covered so much, every girl, especially his fans, noticed him immediately.

"It's Yang Ronghui!"

"Oh my god! Yang Ronghui! So handsome!"

"Male god, please give me your autograph!"

Ronghui was flustered when a flock of female fans surrounded him. Yunyu separated himself away from Ronghui immediately. He didn't want to be the scandal that might put Ronghui's career to danger.

Ronghui looked lost when the crowds were flooding the café from inside and outside. Yunyu was pushed to the corner. He was debating with the system while he watched Ronghui and his female fans from afar.

[Ah, I get it now. Junze must've been planning everything to ruin my date with Ronghui. But does he have to go this far only to compete against me?]

[Pupa: I don't think Junze wants to compete against you. Well, maybe at first, but now, he wants to compete FOR you.]

Yunyu's jaw dropped when the system dropped the bomb like that. Based on the world setting, Junze was in love with Ronghui for so long, how could he change his target like he changed his underwear?

[Ehh… this world is really weird… I feel like I don't do anything, and we are already halfway to complete the Breakmeter. And now, Ronghui and Junze suddenly got interested in me…]

Pupa circled around Yunyu and wondered if he should materialize right here right now, and slap the shit out of this kid. Pupa had to admit that Bai Yunyu was quite good when completing the first world, because it was not supposed to be a romance world. Although Yunyu also fell short when Michael started to catch feelings for him.

But this world was purely a romance, teenage drama world. Yunyu's task here was mostly about love. Yunyu had been showing denseness and incapability to process many simple hints from the ML. Ronghui and Junze were obviously interested in Yunyu now. There was almost zero possibility of two of them getting together as a couple anymore, because of Yunyu.

But this dense kid was only good when thinking about his imaginative sex position, not about the real budding romance between two guys.

[Pupa: I'm glad that this is the only world where romance is the main focus. I hope you don't turn the next world into your love playground too.]

[Hey! I am dedicated to my work and acting here! I'm just… a bit lost in this world.]

[Pupa: You just need to love, that's it.]

[But I feel like I haven't done anything yet!]

[Pupa: You are just talented to be a weak, bullied kid, so you don't feel like you are acting. Because you are one.]

…

Ronghui showed his perfunctory smile to his fans. But he kept glancing at Yunyu who looked lost at the corner for the room. He looked lonely, maybe also a bit scared. Yunyu stared at him and his fans a few times, and smiled bitterly.

Yunyu lowered his head and played with his phone.

Ronghui's heart was restless. He wanted to push all these fans who were taking a picture of him and asked for his signature, and then took Yunyu back to their dorm. But if his fans knew that he went on a date with a man, it was not only his career as a new, rising actor that was on the line. But also Yunyu's private life.

If they knew Yunyu's identity, then they would bully him to death in social media and in real life.

Ronghui gulped and he tried as fast as he could to deal with the fans. He talked with them for a moment, and when he glanced at Yunyu's spot again, he was gone.

Yunyu was waiting at the corner with his phone when a hand suddenly pulled him and dragged him outside. Everybody was busy with Ronghui and was not paying attention to some random kid, thus, Yunyu was successfully dragged outside.

He was pulled to the small alley a few blocks away from the café, Yunyu struggled, but the hand that gripped him was really strong, "You! Let me… go…" Yunyu deflated instantly when he saw Junze smirking at him.

Junze laughed joyfully when he saw Yunyu's deflated expression. He held Yunyu's shoulder with his hand and pushed Yunyu to the wall.

"Ah! J—Junze, it—" Yunyu winced, but as he wanted to protest, his eyes locked on Junze's phoenix eyes staring down at him. Junze put his hand on the wall and leaned closer to Yunyu. Their lips were only an inch away from touching.

[OMG, kabedon! God has blessed me with kabedon!]

[Pupa: Don't break your acting, you are supposed to be a timid, weak kid.]

Their breaths entangled into one and Junze said in a gentle, yet ambiguous tone, "You see what happens when you decide to date Ronghui? You cannot be free. His fans will always flock around him, so he cannot date you openly."

"I'm not lacking anything compared to him, in fact, I'm better. I am handsome, strong, and have a powerful family background. Why don't you choose me instead? You don't need to hide from anyone," Junze's words were bewitching, his phoenix eyes curved seductively and he smirked. His face drew closer towards Yunyu until their lips were brushing.

"I will not accept no as your answer," it was Junze's words before he covered Yunyu's lips with his. Yunyu struggled immediately, his hands desperately pushed Junze's chest, but Junze used his other hands to encircle Yunyu's waist and drew him closer.

Their soft kiss turned into a deep passionate kiss.

[Pupa: Ding! Zhou Junze's Fatemeter increases to 45%.]

Yang Ronghui finally dealt with some of his fans and ignored the rest. He ran around trying to call Yunyu's phone, but Yunyu didn't pick it up. He looked around and he dialled Yunyu's number again.

This time, he heard Yunyu's ringtone from an alley near his position. He walked slowly to check the alley.

No one was in the alley, except for two figures. Ronghui saw that bastard Zhou Junze buried Yunyu in his arms and kissed him fervently.

Crack!
