Rain Volkov is beautiful.
The kind of beautiful that ruins lives and invites love confessions from people he's never spoken to.
He'd be flattered-if he could actually feel it.
Homeschooled his whole life due to an emotional processing condition, Rain enters university with straight-A precision, stunning looks, and the emotional depth of a Google search. He knows how to smile, nod, say thank you-but not what any of it means.
When his polite indifference accidentally turns into a full-blown fan club and a very persistent girl named Sayona, his best friend Raiden-stormy, broke, and far too emotionally stable-suggests a simple fix: fake a relationship.
Enter Sol Phoenix: popular, emotionally unavailable, and Rain's new mission target.
Sol says no.
So Rain starts casually stalking him with spreadsheets, sticky notes, and enough psychological manipulation to make Freud weep.
He's not trying to fall in love.
He's just trying to win.
Or at least... that's what he tells himself.
