Beyond Identity (Pansy Series 1)
Dual Point of view
Matteo has always been the center of attention. Loud and proud, he owns his space as a makeup artist who can turn anyone into a masterpiece. He lives for the spotlight, but deep inside, he's still waiting for something-real-love that won't wash away at the end of the day.
The Kian came. The new girl. She's simple, quiet, and different from the people Matteo's used to. At first, Matteo and Kian click effortlessly, bonding over shared dreams and late-night conversations. They understand each other in ways no one else does, and for a moment, Matteo thinks he's finally found the connection he's been yearning for, maybe this time, he found someone who truly sees him.
But people love to compare. Matteo's glam against Kian's natural beauty. His bold personality against her quiet charm. What was once admiration slowly turned into competition. With each comparison, cracks begin to show. Resentment grows, and the affection they had for each other shifts into sharp edges of jealousy and hate, and before they knew it, envy and pride built a wall between them.
Matteo and Kian must face a painful question: will they let the voices around them destroy what they had, or can they fight to find the love and friendship that once felt so real?
