(Warning: This contains spoilers!): What happens when an S-tier alpha, someone who swore off omegas after a heartbreak that shattered him, crosses paths with a bold, sharp-tongued omega who's everything he claims to hate? An omega who hides his own wounds behind sass and laughter- someone still unable to move on from the man he once loved so much he wrote an entire book for him... Only for that man to walk away before he ever got the chance to give it. Two butterflies with the same broken wings. Two hearts cracked in different places. Two people who collide instead of meeting. They become rivals before they even know each other's names- annoying, loud, confusing, always pushing the other's buttons as if chaos is the only language they're fluent in. But underneath the arguments and stubborn walls, something unspoken pulls them together: the strange recognition of pain they've both tried so hard to hide. What happens when two people who can't heal themselves accidentally start healing each other- through the fights, the tension, the denial, and the feelings they're both terrified to name?

How will life treat you and your heart in the hands of fate, differences and social responsibilities.

In his life, he'd had a few crushes - but, as you might guess, none of them ever worked out. Riwoo's life didn't hold any surprises or drama. Even though he had plenty of activities, hobbies, and interests... something was missing. Or rather, someone - a person close enough for him to truly rely on.

On top of that, her mixed heritage, a large extended family, and her naturally chaotic personality created constant disorder in her life - a whirlwind of change and surprise that never seemed to end. When Victoria moved to South Korea at the beginning of her first year of high school - the country where her mother lived - she never expected to meet someone as calm, composed, and understanding as Riwoo. Their paths crossed suddenly, completely by chance. Yet despite all the surprises and chaos that came with Victoria's arrival, Riwoo didn't want to step away - quite the opposite. Something about her kept pulling him in. Highest ranking: #1 in leeriwoo #1 in romantic story started: 14.10.25 ended: ~❤️~

He orders the same thing every time: an iced americano and a smile from the barista who never quite looks him in the eye. Sungho doesn't know why he keeps showing up, or why Jaehyun sometimes lingers even after closing, camera slung across his shoulder, eyes tracing every line of light that touches him. For Jaehyun, it started as a photo project - "people who feel like music." For Sungho, it becomes something else entirely. Because every time that camera clicks, he swears he hears his heartbeat echo, come back for more.
