Freya and MK have always been a package deal. Not because they're the same, because they're not. MK is loud, protective, sarcastic, and the kind of brother who acts like nothing bothers him even when everything does. Freya is quieter, sharper than people expect, and used to living in the shadow of MK's huge personality. He's her brother, her built-in best friend, and the one person who has always made it clear that nobody messes with her. Especially not his best friend. Malachi has been in MK's life for years. Sleepovers, family dinners, late-night drives, stupid inside jokes, holidays where he basically becomes part of the furniture. He's not just MK's best friend anymore; he's practically family. Which is exactly why MK made one rule from the beginning. "Do not date my sister." At first, Malachi laughed it off. Freya rolled her eyes. MK acted like he was joking. But everyone knew he wasn't. Because MK knows Malachi better than anyone. He knows the flirty comments, the smirks, the reputation, the way Malachi can make someone feel like they're the only person in the room. And even though MK trusts him with almost everything, Freya is the one thing he refuses to risk. So the rule stays.

Freya and Malachi are total strangers until a coffee incident has them head over heels for each other only problem.. he forgot to give her his number....

Malachi and Freya have been neighbours for four years, and for just as long, Malachi has made it his mission to tease her every chance he gets. Freya acts like she can't stand him, rolling her eyes and firing back whenever he annoys her, but deep down, she's had a tiny crush on him since the day they met. Malachi has a reputation for being a player, always with a new girl every week, but Freya has always been different. He has a soft spot for her, even if he'd never admit it. What Freya doesn't know is that Malachi has liked her too, but instead of telling her, he hides it behind teasing, smirks, and pretending she doesn't mean as much to him as she really does.
