Act Like You Love Me
Hong Eunchae has always lived in the spotlight of perfection-straight A's, flawless conduct, and a reputation as the ultimate model student. But beneath the polished image lies a secret obsession: beating the one person who's always stayed one step ahead of her. A faceless rival who haunted every report card of middle school. She was always second. Always behind.
Now, in high school, she's more determined than ever to come out on top.
But just when she thinks her path to the top is finally clear, he appears. Her anonymous academic rival has a name and a face. And he's nothing like she expected. Nishimura Riki, with a smirk that spells trouble, a reputation for breaking rules, and a mind as sharp as hers-he's the last person she wanted to see. Or feel drawn to.
Their rivalry quickly reignites, sparking fiery clashes, petty sabotage, sarcastic banter, and moments so charged they blur the line between hate and something far more dangerous. Every test score feels like war, every hallway interaction, a battlefield. But the more they push each other, the more Eunchae begins to wonder if there's something deeper beneath their endless competition-something thrilling, terrifying, and impossible to ignore.
Act Like You Love Me is a sharp, addictive romance filled with tension, rivalry, and the slow burn of enemies who might just be fated for more. After all, there's a fine line between wanting to win... and wanting them.

Any fantasy? Dark-" The words caught in my throat the moment I realized what I had almost asked. A man I had nearly killed minutes ago. The knife resting between us spun lazily over the hard surface of the car hood, metallic sound slicing through the silence after every turn. Seven rounds of truth. Seven times it had stopped at him. Not me.Him. Rain-heavy clouds crowded the sky above us while distant thunder rolled across the empty highway. He leaned back against the car as if none of this bothered him. As if the blade wound on his thigh wasn't still bleeding beneath his dark clothes. "Darkest?" he repeated slowly, a smirk tugging at one corner of his lips. My fingers tightened unconsciously around the handle of my knife.He noticed. Of course he did. "Going rough under a storm like this," he said without hesitation, his gaze lifting toward the dark sky around us. "Where she sounds wilder than the rain falling on us and-" . . "And-?" I asked before I could stop myself. His eyes returned to mine this time. Completely. "And... seven rounds." The way he said it-calm, shameless, certain-made heat crawl beneath my skin despite the cold wind brushing against us. "Why specific to seven?" The question slipped out instantly. . . His gaze darkened with amusement. "Mm..." A sharp hiss left his lips as he pressed his palm harder against the blade wound on his left thigh-the same wound I had carved there moments ago. . . His brows lifted teasingly before he winked. "Why?" His voice dropped lower. "You want more? Ten?" . . "Go to hell." . . The next second, my back pressed against the hard surface of the car hood while he stood over me, trapping me beneath him. . . "Why seven?" he whispered against my ear, his voice almost drowned beneath the storm. "From 06:55 PM till 11:56 PM..." His grip tightened slightly against my nape. "You said 'I hate you' seven times, Petal." . . "That's why." . . "And this time-the rain approved me" [ STUDENT PROFESSOR DARK ROMANCE]

Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee. Two names that guaranteed disaster. Next-door neighbors since birth. Childhood rivals by default. The only two people in the entire neighborhood who somehow didn't get along while their families acted like one big happy unit. If anything, their parents adored each other-weekend barbecues, holiday trips, even matching family shirts at reunions. But Niki and Sohee? They were different. What started as stolen crayons and broken sandcastles turned into spitballs in middle school, which then evolved into a full-blown war by high school. Now, in their final year, they were practically the school's most infamous duo-constantly at each other's throats, always five seconds away from a murder attempt. The school's Basketball Team Captain vs. the Cheerleading Team Captain. A never-ending battle of insults, pranks, and power struggles. Teachers had stopped trying to separate them. Students placed bets on their next argument. No one could tell if they truly hated each other or if they were just too stubborn to admit whatever else was brewing beneath the surface. One thing was certain: If Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee were in the same room, peace was never an option. --- "Shut up!" "Make me!" "Your wish." Niki yanked her close. She gasped, barely registering when his lips crashed onto hers-hot, demanding, a battle in itself. For a second, she forgot to hate him. Then reality hit. She shoved him away, wiping her lips. "Never again." Niki smirked. "Keep telling yourself that." Game on. (Extended summary inside..) ---- A chaotic love story of two people who are too cool to be normal, too weird to care. ©Xia_Taex ❥ 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇 (𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄) Will Begin Now <3Complete

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.

"Let me get this straight," Danish's voice is sharp, his disbelief barely masked. "You want me to pretend to be in love with you?" Kiara tilts her head, the ghost of a smirk playing on her lips. "No, Malhotra. I want you to pretend you never stopped." For as long as Kiara Oberoi could remember, life had been a race she was never allowed to lose. And standing in her way at every turn? Danish Malhotra. Her biggest rival. Her greatest weakness. The boy who knew exactly how to ruin her. They spent their years locked in battle-academic rankings, debate championships, internships, and scholarships-neither willing to give the other an inch. They fought in front of the whole world. They fought when no one was watching. And somewhere in between all those fights, between the sharp words and long stares- they fell. It started with a project that forced them together. Forced them to see past the rivalry, past the competition, past the carefully built walls. Forced them to face the fact that they understood each other in ways no one else ever had. They fought for years-until one night, she gave him everything. And the next day? She destroyed him. "I could never love someone who doesn't even know his own origins." And then, she left. No warnings. No explanations. Just silence. Now, she's back. Same fire. Same hunger. Same boy she left behind-only now, he's colder, crueler, untouchable. And this time, they aren't just academic rivals. They're business enemies. And she needs him to fake date her. She isn't leaving without him this time. She says it's to win a war. He knows it's to win him back. But some fires never die- And this time, they might burn for real.Complete
