"BAD, MEAN, TOAD."

Those were the three words Lin Zhu used to describe Ye Quan.

Lin Zhu was a talented badminton athlete who started his brilliant career as a junior player in the national badminton team. He had won many titles as a men's singles player in the junior team, and his achievements were rewarded with a promotion to the senior team.

But, to his dismay, the reward suddenly turned into a punishment. He performed so badly in the last two years he spent with the senior team that he was finally kicked out of the men's singles team. He had only two choices: 1. Bury his dream and retire at such a young age; 2. Agree to be transferred to the men's doubles team. And Lin Zhu chose the second option.

He didn't expect that he would be paired with Ye Quan, another badminton player who had become his mortal enemy since a few years ago. Under the pressure from the team management to become the best men's doubles pair in the world, Lin Zhu and Ye Quan began their journey despite harboring hatred for each other.

What will happen to the two athletes? Will they be able to achieve their goal even if they are always at each other's throats?

BAD, MEAN, TOAD [BL]

Lin Zhu walked aimlessly on the side of the road. It was the middle of the night, so the streets weren't crowded. Even so, several cars still passed him, but he didn't care.

Deep down, he hoped that Ye Quan would chase after him after he ran away from the cinema earlier. He wanted Ye Quan to choose him over Zhao Jia, but he knew it was just his wishful thinking.

Ye Quan had indeed treated him 'specially' lately, but he knew that the special treatment meant nothing to the older man. Maybe Ye Quan just treated him as a friend, or maybe a younger brother because he was indeed younger than the other man.

That was the only possibility. He was sure that only he had such feelings towards the other man. The forbidden feeling in his heart belonged only to him, and Ye Quan wouldn't feel the same because the man already had a beautiful girlfriend.
