She never expected to fall for him, her brother's best friend. The one who had always been there, teasing her, protecting her, making her heart race without ever meaning to. And yet, when the line between friendship and something more blurs, she can't ignore the pull. Two years, mistakes, and a city apart couldn't erase what they had. But now, back in the same place, the sparks are impossible to hide. Can she navigate the danger of wanting someone she shouldn't, or will the consequences of their secret be too much to bear?

Noeul thought a summer getaway would be just a brief escape from reality, but nothing could have prepared her for the chaos waiting at Ni-ki's luxurious mansion. Between sparkling nights, dangerous secrets, and a former friend turned enemy, she's forced to navigate a world where desire and danger are intertwined. started [ 06/02/2026 ] completed [ 06/03/2026 ] [ #1 in NishimuraNiki ]

❝meet me next life, but I'm yours tonight.❞ જ⁀➴ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 you are the main character that ENHYPEN falls in love with.

To close a major deal, CEO Niki needs a fake fiancée. He hires his assistant Remi for six months, offering wealth and career perks-but living together blurs the rules, and their icy, transactional arrangement starts to crack.

At just 19, Kim Yuna is already making waves as the official makeup artist for ENHYPEN. Balancing brushes, backstage chaos, and the shadows of a dangerous ex, she keeps her head down, until she meets Nishimura Riki, the group's elusive, ice-cold maknae. At 19, Riki's got fame, fans, and a reputation for being untouchable... but something about Yuna pulls him in. She's the warmth he didn't know he needed. He's the safety she never had. As tension brews offstage and her past creeps closer, Riki's quiet protectiveness turns fierce. Jealousy, stolen kisses in dressing rooms, and late-night comfort in her apartment blur every line they swore not to cross. But in a world where privacy is a luxury and danger lurks behind charming smiles, love might be the riskiest thing of all.

No one talks to Riki Nishimura. He sits in the back. Keeps his head down. Never smiles. Never speaks. He's not shy-he's silent. Unreachable. Some say dangerous. Others say broken. But no one dares to get close enough to find out. No one... except Kiana Valentina Torres. The most popular girl in school. Venom in her lip gloss and boys on her heels. Loud, unbothered, and undefeated. Kiana doesn't chase. She gets dared. So when someone bets her she can't crack the quiet kid? She makes him her next game. Once she gets close, she finds out Riki is anything but cold. He's chaos beneath the quiet. Possessive. Obsessive. Addicted. The kind of boy who kisses like he owns her and touches like he's trying to break her. They don't just sneak around. They crash into each other. And Riki isn't just a dare anymore. He's a problem. And the deeper they fall, the more explosive they get:fighting, loving, ruining each other in every room, every secret corner of the city. Not just sneaking around school. Everywhere. Her friends are suspicious. His silence gets louder. And when he finds out the truth? She might not break him. He might break her first. "This isn't love. It's damage with a pretty face." --- THE FORBIDDEN SERIES #3 | Nishimura Riki #highschool au. / quiet guy and popular girl © all credits to rykimura INCOMPLETE // 07/09/25
