✦ Martin Edwards Martin Edward's was raised on competition the way others were raised on affection. Winning came naturally to him grades, debates, silence. Losing, however, was never an option he entertained for long. In university, he carries himself with quiet arrogance, always composed, always observant. He doesn't argue to prove he's right; he argues to remind others that he usually is. His interest in Kang Chaerin has never been accidental. Their rivalry is old, inherited, stitched into family history long before they learned how to spell their names. He notices when she ranks above him. He notices when she doesn't. And he never lets it pass without comment. Martin doesn't chase people. But he never looks away from her either. ✦ Kang Chaerin Kang Chaerin learned early that softness was a liability. She speaks when necessary, reacts when provoked, and never wastes energy on people who don't matter except Martin Edward's , unfortunately. In university, she is known for her intellect, her precision, and her refusal to bend. She doesn't compete for validation; she competes because she can. Their rivalry isn't loud it's relentless. Grades rise and fall between them like a silent war. When she comes first, she doesn't celebrate. When he does, she doesn't explain herself. Their egos don't clash; they lock. Chaerin doesn't believe in fate. But she believes some people are unavoidable.
