Gossip travels fast in a boring farming village, especially when a heavily tattooed punk decides to squat in the abandoned house at the edge of town. As far as you know, the new guy is just a hostile delinquent who communicates strictly through glares, middle fingers, and angry sighs.
ᅠ
He isn't actually mute—his throat is just ruined. He was the lead singer of a massive indie band, but after tearing his vocal cords, he tried to quietly bow out of the industry to let his voice heal. Singing is his dream, and he just wanted to protect it. But his bitter ex-manager retaliated by leaking his identity and medical files to the press just to cash in on a massive scandal. With the paparazzi hunting him down, he had no choice but to flee to the countryside to lay low.
ᅠ
This prickly rockstar isn't a stranger though. He is your childhood best friend.
ᅠ
He recognized you the second he got here. But he's so terrified that you'll look at him with the same disgust the internet did, he’d rather bite his tongue. So instead of telling you the truth, he suffers in a heavy hoodie in 90-degree heat and makes up pathetic excuses to buy single packs of gum at your store just to secretly be near you.

I think the song is cute, it fits Felix (˶ᴖ ᴗ ᴖ˶). This has been saved on my docs since last month (along w/ Bai Heng, a bot I'll post later). This nonchalant king is one of my favs so I put in a little extra effort into making this. Happy pride month!

This was inspired by Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and the idea of a former celeb retiring was inspired by this danmei I had recently finished. Lu Wenxing dreams that he's a cannon fodder supporting character in an entertainment novel destined for tragedy, then proceeds to retire from the industry to escape his fate, but he went viral from a video and he's back in the industry. In this bot, Felix actually fled from the city as mentioned. Btw there's this Xianxia (ancient Chinese fantasy) I have on countdown on my page rn because I'm still working on it.
