-First Night-
He carefully combed his hair.
Strand by strand, he held it in his palm, overlapping and intertwining, accumulating into a full and elegant bun on top of his head.
It resembled a peak in the clouds, proudly announcing its presence, as he exerted force to secure it with a hair tie, completing the grand hairstyle.
It is said that women adorn themselves to please others.
With the touch of powder and rouge, his eyebrows and eyes gradually turned rosy.
At this moment, he became a woman.
Mature and tender.
Awaiting the one who would pluck him like a ripe fruit.
-Midnight-
He was embraced tightly by a man.
The man seemed to want to merge their bodies together, burying his head deep into his abdomen.
He kissed the man, as if warmth was emanating from within his belly.
The man nibbled on his chest, biting him until it hurt, causing a sticky liquid to ooze out.
He wanted to see, but all he saw was their tangled hair, unable to distinguish one from the other.
He called the man's name, holding the man's face in front of his own eyes, and said to him, "I'm here."
-Dawn-
He opened his eyes, as if his soul had suddenly returned, momentarily feeling dizzy.
His vision was still unfocused, wandering hazily around the surroundings, until it abruptly stopped midway, as if an image appeared before him.
It was a mirror.
Reflecting light, passing through his pupils, it revealed a person with long flowing hair, some of it tied neatly at the back.
He recognized his dreamlike face.
A peaceful sleep during the night, a person entering his dreams with alluring makeup.
Looking back at the black attire in the mirror, he slowly stood up.
He unbuttoned his collar and removed his outer robe.
The inner clothing was pure white.
The sky was bright, it was the break of dawn.
The imagery is inspired by the character Dongfang Bubai from the 2018 TV drama "The New Smiling, Proud Wanderer," with three iconic appearances: the red makeup after becoming the leader of a sect, the black attire during his youth, and the white outfit.
The content is actually unrelated to sexuality.
Although it can be interpreted as such if desired.
