Night Frost thinks Astraea Hell Castel is nothing but trouble⎯a reckless flame that burns through everything she touches. Honestly? He can't stand her. But when he catches one of her exes crossing the line, something snaps. Against his own rules, he steps in to defend her, becoming her reluctant (k)night in shining armor. Night thought it was just a careless mistake⎯until someone caught the moment on camera and blasted it across social media. Overnight, the video explodes. Now, his reputation is in flames, and the entire campus is buzzing with one story: he and Astraea are dating. The worst part? Night's running for fourth-year rep. Denying the rumor would be political suicide. So he does the unthinkable⎯plays along with the lie⎯a fake relationship with the girl he promised himself he'd never get close to. But what happens when the game stops feeling fake? Can he win the election, or will Night lose his heart instead? In a game of reputation, power, and pride... Will Astraea be his biggest mistake, or his ultimate checkmate? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ➳ This story is written in Taglish. Checkmate by flourisiel
