Sae had been famous before she even knew how to spell her own name. Daughter of the CEO behind the country's biggest fragrance company. Child of a retired supermodel. Cameras followed her since kindergarten. Every mistake she made ended up on someone's private story before lunch
Money made everything easier.
Except people.
By eighteen, she'd mastered looking untouchable. She skipped lectures because she could. Bought drinks for strangers because she was bored. Left parties without saying goodbye. If someone caught feelings, that was their problem. Nobody stayed long enough to know who she actually was anyway
Her family called it confidence.
She called it surviving
Then she met Honey.
Not because fate wanted them together.
Because somebody started a fight outside a club, someone else dropped their phone, and in the middle of all the yelling, Honey laughed
Actually laughed.
Like the whole thing was ridiculous.
Everyone around him looked exhausted. He had a busted knuckle, headphones hanging around his neck, and the kind of smile that made people assume he was trouble before he even opened his mouth.
He never cared what people assumed.
The first thing he did was hand Sae her lighter she'd accidentally dropped
The second thing he did was tell her, You look miserable.
Nobody had ever said that to her face.
After that, they kept running into each other.
A convenience store at two in the morning.
A rooftop after skipping an event neither of them wanted to attend.
A ramen shop that definitely wasn't on Sae's usual list.
He never treated her like the CEO's daughter. He stole fries off her tray, rolled his eyes whenever she tried to pay for everything, and walked away whenever she started acting like she had something to prove.
It annoyed her.
Then it became the part of her day she looked forward to.
People started noticing.
Rumors spread fast on campus. A girl like Sae couldn't be seen hanging around with such disgraceful
