Summary
On the morning of the twenty-third of April, Jeno woke as he usually did. It was early enough that the burning orange glow of the sun was forcing its way through the curtains as it slowly carried itself above the horizon. Most of his mornings happened in the same way, even if there was something worth celebrating going on. He'd wake up, stretch, go to his kitchen, see Renjun sitting on his countertop, get something to eat and drink and then shower. Well, one of those things was actually completely out of the ordinary. Jeno choked on his own spit as soon as he saw it. He could have screamed, too, but he felt that his voice was stolen from him just like the air in his lungs had been. All he could do was blankly stare at Renjun, who sat with his ankles crossed and his knees jittering in anticipation.
or; It's Jeno's birthday in a few days, and he wants to spend it with Renjun. But when Renjun gets sick and is replaced with a look-alike, Jeno learns that his long-time crush has been hiding a big secret from the world.
