After a messy breakup with his longtime partner, Bakugo Katsuki is raising his young son alone while balancing hero work and single parenthood. He's got a reputation for being gruff and hard to talk to-but fiercely devoted to his kid. One day, a new neighbor moves in next door. Y/N is laid-back, curious, and great with kids, which both annoys and intrigues Bakugo. Slowly, despite the explosions (literal and emotional), a connection forms. A story about second chances, quiet mornings, and learning how to open your door-and your heart-again.

Y/N Kirioka was done with the hero life-until he walked in. After vanishing from the spotlight, former pro hero Mistwalker has rebuilt a quiet life brewing coffee and keeping her past buried. But when a brooding top hero shows up at her café with a wild request..; pretend to be his girlfriend to throw off the media-she's dragged back into a world she thought she'd left behind. Neither of them expects the fake romance to feel so real. And the longer they keep up the act, the harder it gets to remember where the lies end and something else begins. KATSUKI BAKUGO x fem!
