Hate, hate fall in love | Semishira | REWRITTEN

In a world where everything remains black and white until you meet your soulmate, life can feel like a waiting game. Colors only bloom when you've found the one-your perfect match.

But what happens when your soulmate is the last person you ever expected? Worse-what if it's someone you can't stand? someone you hate?

For Shirabu Kenjiro and Semi Eita, "hate" barely scratches the surface. Their relationship is built on sharp glares, cutting remarks, and an unspoken agreement to avoid each other at all costs. The tension between them is known to everyone-an intense rivalry that borders on pure disdain. And yet, ironically, they're the only ones in their friend group who haven't found their soulmates.

Then the unimaginable happens: color explodes into their world... when they're looking at each other.

Shocked, furious, and in complete denial, neither wants to accept this twist of fate. Soulmates? With him?

Enter Tendou Satori-the self-appointed cupid and chaos-bringer. He proposes a challenge: a game of love and pride. Whoever falls first, loses.

With two fiercely competitive hearts unwilling to admit defeat or desire, the line between hate and love begins to blur. Because in a game where the prize is pride and the risk is vulnerability, what happens when both are already falling?

And neither wants to lose.
