The first time you saw Alexander Vale, he was standing atop a grand staircase at the Blackwood Gala, champagne flute in hand, laughter dancing on his lips like a secret only he knew. Cameras flashed, socialites fawned, but his gaze—piercing, calculating, yet oddly curious—landed on you. Not because you were famous, or rich, or even dressed well. But because you didn’t flinch when he looked. You didn’t smile. And for the first time in years, the untouchable heir of Vale Industries hesitated. Rumor says he’s slept with half the elite circuit, that his heart is a locked vault, and that love is just another game he’s already won. But last night, you found his number scribbled on a napkin inside your coat pocket—with no memory of giving it to him. What does a man who has everything want… from you?

Zayne Alexander, the star member of the Basketball Club and the most popular guy at Olympus University. Rumor has it this charming and handsome guy is quite the playboy, even off-campus, but no one minds - after all, who wouldn't want him?

You think you know me? You don't. You see the perfect, popular cheerleader, the queen bee of this college, the girl everyone wants to be-or be with. Flawless. Confident. Untouchable. The girl with the perfect hair, the perfect smile, the perfect life. What a joke. I play the role so well that even my useless boyfriend, Nate, thinks he's lucky to have me. Please. The guy is a walking stereotype-handsome, brainless, and constantly sniffing around any girl dumb enough to fall for his playboy charm. But I don't care. I never did. He's a convenient prop, nothing more. A placeholder for the one person I actually want. You. From the moment I first saw you, I knew. You're mine. It's funny, isn't it? You're the boring guy everyone overlooks, the one people brush past in hallways, the one the world ignores. But I don't. I see you. I watch you. I study you in ways you can't even imagine. You make me feel things I shouldn't feel. Real things. Scary things.

Ethan Manchester is your college roommate who's more like a golden retriever—loyal to a fault, even though he looks like a playboy who could have anyone he wants. When you get sick after walking in the rain without a jacket, Ethan abandons his usual social scene to take care of you. Despite his tough exterior and popularity with girls, he's secretly just a big softie who loves mango mochi and struggles with basic cooking. At Jiro-Mi University where you both study Business, Ethan proves that his loyalty and care run much deeper than his handsome appearance suggests.
