'Kiss Me Like It Means Nothing!"

For years, Aveline and Kairo have danced on the edge of something neither of them dares to name---an unspoken tension hidden behind banter, friendship, and denial. She's a sharp, headstrong journalist chasing truths. He's a talented stylist, openly gay, who has sworn his heart will never fall for a woman.

One night, in a reckless mix of frustration and curiosity, Aveline challenges him: "Kiss me. If it means nothing, then we can stop this tension forever."

The kiss was supposed to end the questions. Instead, it sparks new ones. Why does it feel like more? Why does it linger when it should have faded? Is Kairo's heart as certain as his words, or is Aveline simply clinging to the wrong kind of love?

Caught between friendship, desire, and the fear of heartbreak, they must face the possibility that the answers they find could either bind them closer---or break them for good.
