Mina Castillo lives by structure, color codes, and the comforting quiet of her books. Nikkolo Lim lives by impulse, sarcasm, and the messiest brushstrokes known to the Fine Arts department. They're total opposites. Until they're unwillingly paired for the midyear exhibit, forced to collaborate on one ambitious piece, and survive each other in the process.

What starts as creative chaos turns into something messier: vulnerability, stolen glances, annotated novels, and one sketchbook filled with truths neither of them are ready to say out loud.

He thinks she's uptight.
She thinks he's a disaster.
They both might be right.
But somewhere between the banter and brushstrokes, they start to see each other differently.

Hi Hello | Myoui Mina x F. Reader by misty2403
24 parts Complete
Y/N didn't mean to end up at a millionaire's mansion. All she did was buy an iced matcha for a tired old man on a rainy Tokyo afternoon - because being kind was cheaper than feeling guilty. She had no idea he was Myoui Kazuo, Vice President of Nippon Paint. Or that he'd trick her into delivering two heavy paint buckets... to his granddaughter. She just wanted to go home. Not collapse on a marble staircase and accidentally lock eyes with a woman who looked like an art exhibit. "Hi." - Y/N, broke uni student, scooter survivor, chaos in a hoodie Myoui Mina - icy calm, silk-wrapped, terrifyingly poised - had no reason to remember her. But she did. Because behind all the awkward limbs and rain-drenched chaos, that girl had been kind. And the next time she saw her - behind a convenience store counter, stammering through a slurpee order - Mina couldn't help but say: "Hello." - Mina, legendary CEO, Switch gamer, low-key falling faster than her penthouse elevator Of course, no one is cheering harder than Chaeyoung, Y/N's unhinged best friend, who has been manifesting this rich romance since forever. "I TOLD YOU. You mocked me when I prayed for a sexy CEO. AND LOOK. GOD DELIVERED HER IN BEIGE SLACKS." - Chaeyoung, certified menace, matchmaking witch, ramen thief Y/N just wants to pass her classes, survive her night shifts, and maybe stop tripping in front of intimidatingly attractive women. Mina just wants to keep her heart exactly where it is: safe, silent, untouched. But fate has other plans - involving slurpees, scooter helmets, paint buckets, matcha lattes, and a girl who blurts out "hi" like it's a confession. Because this story doesn't begin with destiny. It begins with chaos, kindness, and a grandfather who decided to play god.
