The Snare of Symmetry

At the graduation party, Bernard reunites with the idol admired by everyone.

Rubens Hurt was a man who naturally drew all eyes.

It was only a drunken one-night stand—but Bernard was fine with that.
After all, he would never again get a chance to be so close to the man he loved.

He decided to live on cherishing that single night.

“If I find you again… then what?
Shall we have a passionate romance?”

But Bernard never expected Rubens to actually search for his one-night partner.

The problem was—Rubens found Elliott, Bernard’s twin brother, instead.

Twins at opposite extremes.
The pride of the family.
My beloved brother.

So he must not love Rubens anymore—
the lover of his brother.

He would quietly put an end to these feelings.

“He’s asking you to become a sex partner in place of your sickly brother.”

But where did everything go wrong?

The moment his cheap unrequited love was exposed, Rubens became mercilessly cruel to Bernard.

What Rubens offered him was a proposal with no real choice.

“Have you really never once thought you didn’t want to be just friends with me?”

And then—another man approaches the confused Bernard.

Rhyno Macpherson.
A college classmate, and his one and only ally.

Confessing that he had loved Bernard all along, Rhyno begs him to take his hand.

Every relationship begins to creak apart,
and each of them becomes a snare tightening around the other’s throat.
