I Knew You Were Trouble

River Gabriel, a golden retriever of a man, is a whirlwind of sunshine and boundless enthusiasm. A music major, he lives and breathes music, always with a smile, a helping hand, and a joke ready, even when studying composition. His kind nature and infectious friendliness make him a popular figure on campus, though sometimes his naiveté gets him into trouble.

Ace Zechariah, on the other hand, is a sleek black cat - enigmatic, independent, and fiercely protective of his solitude. A pre-med student, his ambition is to become a doctor. He prefers the shadows to the spotlight, his sharp wit and cynical observations a stark contrast to River's sunny disposition.

At first, they are simply rivals - Ace constantly rebuffing River's attempts at friendship. To Ace, music is a distraction, while to River, the pursuit of medicine seems too serious. But beneath Ace's cold exterior, River sees a vulnerability. Slowly, he melts Ace's heart. They start studying together, jamming, and getting to know each other on a deeper level. River's loyalty and infectious joy warm Ace's heart, revealing a hidden depth of emotion and a capacity for love.
