"What are you afraid of Chan? You love him don't you?" "I do and that's what I'm afraid of." A married man tied to his toxic marriage and a carefree University student that prays every night for his knight in shining armor to come sweep him off his feet. Such two different people and yet life is unfair enough to make them cross paths. Or maybe it's not unfair and not all knights come in shining armor. Rather they're with no armor and shackled to their inner fears.

In a world where money talks louder than anything else, two rivals are forced into a marriage they never wanted. They've been rivals for as long as they can remember, their families always trying to outdo each other. But when their parents see a chance to become the richest in the country by joining forces through marriage, they have no choice but to go along with it. They're determined to keep their dominance, even if it means being stuck with each other , as they clash and compete, they realize there might be more to their relationship than just animosity. Despite their pride getting in the way, they can't deny the growing attraction and respect between them. Will they let their rivalry tear them apart, or will they find a way to turn enemies to lovers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- He drew closer, his breath warm against my skin. "We can't deny it anymore, Hwang," he whispered, his words hanging in the air like an unspoken truth. "We're stuck together now, whether we like it or not." I locked eyes with him, fingers tightening around his throat in a mixture of anger and desire. "What are you doing to me, Bahng?" I choked out, the words a tumultuous mix of hatred and longing. "I'm supposed to hate you. I hate you so much that sometimes I can't even think straight." He inched even nearer, pulling me into his embrace with a smirk playing on his lips. "I don't hate you, Hwang," he murmured, his voice low and husky with emotion. "Not anymore." And in that moment, I couldn't resist any longer. I kissed him fiercely, as if he held some hypnotic power over me. He didn't recoil; instead, his grip on me tightened, his hands exploring with a hunger that matched my own.

„ So...you do realize that you should have never come here in the first place?" I took a deep breath „ This dumb decision of yours will be the death of you" My legs gave in and everything turned dark around me... Do I regret my decision? No.
