All My College Roommates Are Gay

As soon as Lin Yu stepped through the gates of Jiying Sports Institute, he ran straight into senior Gu Ye, dragging a suitcase and wearing athletic shorts. The two are assigned to the same dorm room. Gu Ye always comes back from training drenched in sweat and changes clothes, his muscular lines impossible to hide in the cramped space; at first Lin Yu barely dares to keep his eyes pinned to his textbook, yet his heartbeat keeps betraying him. At night he hides in the communal bathroom to cool down, only to hear stifled panting from the stall next door. The next day on the court, when Gu Ye hands him a towel and their fingertips brush, the blush on Lin Yu's face refuses to fade. Sometimes a third person's shadow flickers past the little window in the dorm door. Sweat, panting, and a distance that spirals increasingly out of control push two people who were only ever supposed to be roommates, step by step, toward a night from which there is no turning back.
