Instant Heartbeat
心动无时差
Synopsis
My brother’s roommate was weird.
Sometimes, he’d deliberately walk past me without a shirt on.
Other times, he’d avoid me for days on end like he had a guilty conscience.
I always thought I was just overthinking it.
Until one day, I stumbled across a post from a completely blank burner account:
[I fell for my roommate’s girlfriend. She seems to kind of like me too, but it doesn’t look like she plans on breaking up with my roommate. What am I supposed to do? I’m seriously going insane!]
[I’m so lost. So conflicted. I was raised with good morals. How could I… how could I become some shameful other man?]
[I can’t keep sinking like this. Starting tomorrow, I’m going to avoid her. Check-in: Day 0 of not liking her.]
[Today doesn’t count. Day 0 of not liking her.]
[Didn’t sleep well last night, so it doesn’t count. Day 0 of not liking her.]
[I’m sick, so it doesn’t count. Day 0 of not liking her.]
