"You're still annoying."
"And you're still impossible."
That's how it always starts between Y/N and Choi Yeonjun-through arguments, competitions, sarcastic remarks, and one infuriating habit of ruffling her hair at exactly the wrong moment.
Classmates see rivals.
Friends see chaos.
But beneath every "Liar," every "Focus," and every "Did you eat?" is something neither of them is willing to admit.
But they find themselves pulled apart again when Yeonjun and his friends are scouted by HYBE and begin the demanding life of trainees.
With dreams leading them down different paths, they discover that caring can be louder than confessing and that sometimes the hardest goodbye is to the person you never officially called yours.
After years of competing over grades, dance, and pride, only one question remains:
When the final bell rings and they walk toward different futures, will they become strangers...
or will they always be **almost us**?
