If love is a game, they are the players. Shane Abegail is a classic youngest-child energy who's experiencing princess treatment by her family. She's the typical academic achiever at school and outside, she's a pro in badminton. But her world changed, when she experienced her first heartbreak. Since then, she plays it cool but keeps her guard up. She jokes that she's done with love, but she's terrible at hiding how much she still wants it to feel like something real.
And there is Franz, the new guy who showed up mid-semester with zero effort at being noticed and ended up noticed anyway. Transferred in from another city, he's got that quiet-cool thing down: calm voice, sharp eyes, and the kind of confidence that doesn't need to announce itself. He doesn't care much for school works, but he's good at everything he tries once. People think he's aloof, but he's just selective.
Their story didn't start with some dramatic meet-cute. It started during a boring time when someone pulled out a bottle for a game, Truth or Dare. Destiny played its part very well, the dare happened, the new connection began to form and something meaningful bloom. The game has started.
Now they're stuck orbiting each other - Abegail pretending she doesn't notice, Franz pretending he doesn't care.
"The truth is, love is a game and we need to play it along, and don't you dare giving up, or we will lose together"
