I ended up finding it! Ty!
I read it years ago and since the lists got destroyed...yeah. anyways.
It's about this young gay guy who is a fan of this male model (ML), to the point that his room is covered in posters of this guy. The ML ends up being his neighbor but MC plans to avoid him until stumbling upon another guy trying to attack(?) the ML. (This guy is ML's coworker and even harms MC with knife during a confrontation.) They (MC and ML) essentially become friends but MC tries to keep his distance because he's secretly such a big fan.
ML gets upset about the obvious distance/aversion. He sees MC go home with another guy, hears them fuck, and then confronts MC. They end up getting tg ofc and the ML finds out the whole truth.
I've googled it about twenty different ways, to no avail. Probably because yaoi is so saturated now as a genre lol.
