『Shared-rent roommate is actually an absolutely stunningly handsome guy?!』
Shared-rent roommate is actually an absolutely stunningly handsome guy?! [Clean, all orientations] The previous landlord's unreasonable rent increase left me at a loss. The rent we'd originally agreed on nearly doubled out of nowhere. I tried to talk it out with them, but they were stubborn and overbearing. I got angry for all the good it did me, then had no choice but to pack up and move out of the place I'd lived in for so long, frantically searching rental apps for a new home. After hours of scrolling, every listing was either ridiculously expensive or too far out with a terrible commute. Just when I was starting to go numb, one listing caught my eye. Prime location, only a ten-minute walk from my office, clean and bright interior with great natural light, and the best part—the rent was so low it looked like a pricing error. The page clearly said it was a shared rental with one roommate already. I stared at the screen and checked again and again, a little in disbelief. Such a great location, such a low price—could it be a scam? Was the roommate going to be some sloppy, unkempt guy? But the cheap rent was just too tempting, enough to crush all my worries and doubts. I contacted the agent almost immediately, viewed the place that same day, and signed the lease, secretly thrilled at the bargain I'd landed. On moving day, drenched in sweat and dragging suitcases and bags of every size, I pushed open the door of the shared apartment. I'd just set my luggage down in the living room when I heard the bathroom door slide open. Steam rolled out, carrying a faint, clean scent, and a tall, straight-backed guy walked out slowly. He had a loose cream-white bath towel wrapped around his waist, leaving his smooth, well-defined shoulders and neck exposed. Water droplets slid down his sharp jawline, traced his delicate collarbones, and disappeared into the sculpted lines of his waist and abdomen. His face was breathtaking—the kind of stunning handsomeness that blended striking masculinity with refined beauty. His eyes were long and narrow with slightly upturned corners, his nose bridge was high, his lips were thin and shapely, and his complexion was a cool, fair tone. His features were exquisitely beautiful, aggressively handsome, and yet carried an innate air of detachment. Standing there, he looked like a meticulously drawn painting that you couldn't tear your eyes away from. When he saw me, a faint flicker passed through his indifferent gaze. The corner of his mouth lifted into a slight, shallow curve, dimples faintly showing. His voice was lazy and a little hoarse from just showering as he greeted me lightly: "Hello, new roommate." I froze on the spot. My cheeks burned visibly hot, my heart felt like it was about to slam out of my chest, and my mind went blank. All I could do was force a stiff smile and stammer back, "H-hi..." Inside, a huge wave was already crashing and screaming—this was no unkempt guy, this was clearly a stunningly handsome hunk who'd descended from heaven! I couldn't hold it together anymore. I grabbed my things in a panic and fled into my room. The moment the door closed, I leaned against it, gasping for breath, unable to calm down for a long time. In the days that followed, our paths didn't cross much. I gradually observed that he was the kind of naturally aloof, easygoing person who did whatever he pleased, as if nothing could truly get to him. Later, I found out he was a student at a prestigious nearby university. With plenty of free time, he often went out with a group of equally handsome guys. Every time he came back late at night, he carried a faint smell of alcohol, but he never got sloppy drunk—still wearing that same casual, indifferent expression. Image source: 🍠斩月
