Two male office workers meet by chance on their morning commute, sparking a friendship, and hints of something more.... The novel is accompanied by subtly-staged photographs that accentuate each stage of the men’s deepening affections.

The gregarious and outgoing Tu Shao-Yu and the taciturn Tung Wei-Han work at the same food and beverage corporation. Although they rarely cross paths at work, the seeds of their love were planted during a chance encounter three years earlier.

One morning they met by chance in a crowded subway car. An off-hand suggestion opened the door to a new kind of commute, each agreeing to prepare breakfast for the other. During the time spent commuting to and from work, their relationship deepened. In each other’s presence they enjoyed the warmth of acceptance, and the feeling of being understood. No longer just colleagues, they became fast friends, and, for Tu Shao-Yu at least, something more.

Now, just as the relationship is blossoming, an “old friend” bursts back into Tung Wei-Han’s life, having just returned from living overseas. Tu Shao-Yu begins to doubt whether his secret crush on Tung Wei-Han will ever be reciprocated. The two young men once appeared destined to draw ever closer, but perhaps now they can only be friends.…

Wildly popular screenwriter Lin Pei-Yu brings her delicate touch to this gay love story for the office worker set. Her knack for subtle observation perfectly captures each stage in the development of a secret crush: the first tentative flush of excitement, the shared joys of companionship, the hidden pain of disappointment, and the exquisite relief of mutual revelation. The understated staging of the accompanying photographs provides a backdrop of moods ranging from furtive affection to barely contained passion.
