Kim Minjeong and Yu Jimin are known for their rivalry-sharp, public, relentless. No one notices when it starts turning into something far more dangerous, deeper, that makes things turn into an emotional mess. - SLOW BURN

"There was this girl at the station," Yoonchae sighed in irritation, "She would not stop staring at me the entire time I was waiting for my train to arrive." Sophia set down her fork as her eyebrows furrowed. "What did she look like?" "She had dark hair... But with bleach running through it. Streaks, I think. She looked maybe Chinese?" The fork slipped from Sophia's fingers and clinked against the plate. She knew exactly who it was, and the realization sat in her chest like a bomb. She looked at her sister again and knew that she was talking about her best friend. It was Megan Skiendiel, with her terrible habit of falling for people she had no business falling for, had gone and set her sights on Yoonchae of all people. Her sister. "That's my best friend." "...What?" "Megan Skiendiel." Sophia mumbled. "That fucking bitch." COMPLETELY FICTION!

Lisa Manobal has always lived on borrowed time. Born with a fragile heart, she knows every day could be her last but that doesn't stop her from chasing the one thing she's certain of: Jennie Kim. Jennie is everything Lisa is not-untouchable, admired, the student council president with a reputation colder than ice. Every day, Lisa asks her out. Every day, Jennie rejects her. To everyone else, Lisa looks like a fool. But to Lisa, those moments are proof she's alive.

Sophia's life was already a disaster-bullies at school, endless homework, and zero luck in love. But after a rooftop prank takes a deadly turn, she wakes up with fangs, a thirst for blood, and an even bigger problem: if she doesn't find true love in 100 days, she'll be a vampire forever. Manon, an ancient vampire with no patience and a heavy dose of guilt, never intended to turn Sophia-she only wanted to save her. Now, bound by an unexpected alliance, Manon must guide Sophia through her new, chaotic life and the daunting world of romance. Determined to fix her mistake, Manon reluctantly takes Sophia under her wing, guiding her through vampire life. But between Sophia's stubbornness, Manon's teasing, and an ever-growing list of awkward encounters, finding true love is proving to be much harder than expected. With time running out and their love-hate dynamic growing more complicated, will Sophia break the curse... or is she doomed to spend eternity with the vampire who turned her life upside down?

The goal is clear: graduate at the top. The complication is that in trying to defeat her greatest academic rival, Yoonchae might just find herself falling for the only person capable of truly challenging her mind, and stealing her heart.

At Kingsley Academy, power is inherited, not earned. Daniela rules the school with fear and silence, shaped by a family built on control. Sophia was warned to stay away-until curiosity becomes more dangerous than fear.

Daniela Avanzini hated Sophia Laforteza-plain and simple. And honestly? Who could blame her? Sophia was the one who'd stood on a cafeteria table and read Daniela's private texts out loud like it was open-mic night, shoving her out of the closet in front of everyone. So Daniela bolted to New York with her three best friends the moment she graduated, convinced she'd finally left Sophia in the past. But now Sophia's back. And she's... different. Completely different. Just not in the way Daniela ever expected.
