Loving Lena meant daring to touch a wound that never healed. Miu never thought a single invitation from her best friend, Bam, could change everything. One dinner. One bump. One glimpse of someone she shouldn't want, yet can't look away from. Lena was kind in the way that made people feel safe. It was easy to lean closer, easier still to fall. Miu told herself it was admiration, but every heartbeat said otherwise. Yet loving someone who carried the weight of the past was never simple. Warmth could turn fragile, smiles could tremble at the edge of breaking. When Lena's past returns to claim her, Miu learns that first love doesn't just ache, it shatters. And in the wreckage, she has to choose: to let go... or to be consumed.

Viv (Lena) grew up in a prominent family, raised to be poised, composed, and sensible. Everything in her life was neatly laid out: university, connections, a promising career at her own bridal boutique. She was set to marry Ben (Alek), the son of her parents' longtime friends. A good man. The kind of man no one could find a reason to say no to. They fit. Or at least, they looked like they did. And then came Mira (Miu). They were worlds apart. Different generations, different ways of talking, different ways of falling in love. Mira arrived like a small storm; stubborn, blunt, and impossibly charming. She didn't ask to be part of Viv's life, but it was in that unexpectedness that Viv found something she hadn't realized was missing: curiosity, a sense of being alive. And, more confusing than anything, a desire that didn't play by the rules she thought she understood.

Mavery Natsha has never been told "no." As the heir to the Natsha Group-a global empire of five-star hotels and luxury malls-she's known for two things: her last name, and the headlines she constantly creates. Cold, unapologetic, and a self-proclaimed heartbreaker, Mavery lives without rules... until her father issues a final ultimatum. If she wants to inherit the company, she must prove she's capable of stability. One year. One real, serious relationship. No scandals. No exceptions. Louise Schuett never expected her life to become someone else's bargaining chip. At 23, she's the exhausted breadwinner of a broken household: juggling three jobs, an absent mother, sick father, and three younger siblings who depend on her. Love? Luxury? Security? All of it has always been out of reach-until Mavery walks into her life with an offer she can't afford to refuse. Be my girlfriend. Play your part. Keep quiet. In public, Mavery treats Louise like something fragile and adored. In private, she's distant, cold, and dismissive. Louise is just a means to an end. A tool. A façade. But as lines blur and roles twist, something unexpected starts to unravel between them. Feelings Louise didn't agree to. Walls Mavery didn't mean to lower. What begins as a transaction becomes something neither of them can control. Because falling in love was never part of the deal. But it might be the only truth between them.

When a playful slip-up turns into something neither of them can ignore any longer, Lena and Miu discover that sometimes the line between a lighthearted joke and hidden desire is thinner than you think - and some risks are worth the thrill.
