Navigating college is hard when the world feels too sharp. Guided by routine, loyalty, and instinct, Jimin discovers that even chaos can bring comfort and that some connections feel safe the moment they happen.

⭐ 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘧𝘧 ❤ As a shut-in, Kim Minjeong never liked the idea of interacting with people as she preferred to spend most of her time inside her apartment. However, all of that changed ever since she bumped into trouble with her college's goddess Yu Jimin who happens to be her new neighbor. ‼️Some Triggers Ahead‼️

"I just wanted a dating app, not a near-death experience." Minjeong has three problems: her father's crushing debt, her complete lack of a social life, and the fact that she just matched with a girl so gorgeous it's probably a crime. Karina is mysterious, dark-eyed, and suggests they meet in an alley behind a closed-down theater. Minjeong's survival instincts? Nonexistent. She goes anyway. Obviously. One sharp bite later, she wakes up on Karina's lap with no memory of what happened, a weird pain in her neck, and the strange feeling that she's forgetting something important. What she doesn't know: Karina is a vampire. What she also doesn't know: once Karina tastes your blood, she can manipulate your mind. And Karina has no intention of letting her go.

They're ranked #1 and #2 in the department, but the numbers don't explain the hatred. Winter worked for her spot. Every grade came from sacrifice-missed parties, no sleep, constant pressure to be perfect because failure was never an option. Professors praise her discipline, but they also expect it. From her, excellence is mandatory. Karina didn't have to bleed for it the same way. She understands the material quickly. She speaks confidently in class, challenges professors, bends rules and somehow gets away with it. People assume she's just "naturally smart," that it comes easy. Winter hates her for that. Not because Karina is effortless - but because everyone treats Winter's effort like it's worth less than Karina's ease. Karina hates Winter too. Not because Winter is rigid - but because Winter looks at her like she doesn't deserve her place. Like she cheated the system by not suffering enough. They don't argue loudly. They don't sabotage each other in obvious ways. Their hatred is quiet, academic, cutting.

Winter's life has always been hard for her, people around her was cruel. But then someone came in her life, Karina. The youngest daughter of the Yu Family. She didn't expect someone like her would've fall in love with her. And now? her life has been way more better.
