a quiet student who is bullied in silence, and Jae-min, the popular boy who notices and slowly steps in. As Jae starts protecting Y/N, his perfect smile begins to crack, revealing his own struggles. Through small, private moments, they grow closer—until Jae chooses honesty over popularity, and their feelings turn into love.
Everyone at school knows Y/N as the girl you don’t mess with. Cold, sharp, and quick to tear people down, she’s built a reputation no one dares challenge—until one day, a fight exposes more than just her anger. Watching from the sidelines is someone who sees past her walls… and isn’t afraid to fight back.
On the way to the water park, Y/N is stuck in the middle back seat between Camren and Veli—both completely taking up space without even realizing it. The entire ride becomes a battle for space, with Y/N squished tighter and tighter as they refuse to move. What starts as annoying turns into something else when Veli does notice… but instead of moving away, he stays just as close—on purpose.
