That night, he barged into my shared rental life.

Julian Whitmore was the only single person in the shared apartment. His four roommates—Damian Ashford and Jiang Ci, Ji Huai and Shen Yan—were two close-knit couples. They had always been the best of friends, living together without any issues. But one weekend, a drinking party completely tore through the calm facade. After a few glasses of red wine, Julian Whitmore, usually reserved and introverted, became a different person. Drunk and uninhibited, he muttered scandalous truths in his sleep and even crawled into his roommates' beds in the middle of the night. The next morning, faced with the others' suggestive glances, Julian Whitmore was so embarrassed he wished he could simply lock himself in his room. But his roommates clearly weren't about to let him off that easily.
