Araya Sharma never planned on getting tangled in Barcelona's football chaos. The shy, insecure physiotherapy student from India only wanted to surprise her best friend Juno Ortega - not stumble into the locker room and catch Hector Fort, the team's golden boy, mid-change.
Hector's known everywhere: cocky grin, model-worthy looks, the fan favorite of the squad. But behind all the noise, he's guarded - sick of being seen as nothing but a pretty face. Araya, who refuses to swoon over him like the rest, becomes the one girl who disarms him completely.
What starts as awkward banter and teasing quickly grows into something deeper: a friendship balanced between Araya's quiet protectiveness and Hector's hidden vulnerability. But with insecurities, fan rumors, and Juno's sharp eyes watching, both will have to figure out if they're brave enough to play the game off the pitch.
