At Saint Riverton Academy, rivalry burns bright between the school's top two students - Eren Villanueva, the fiery Taekwondo captain with violet hair and green eyes, and Simeon "Sim" Dela Cruz, the calm and calculating Student Council President.
Eren has always hated losing, and for three straight years, Sim has been his eternal frustration - the untouchable number one. To make things worse, Sim barely seems to try, often found napping during class while still acing every exam.
To Eren, Sim is infuriating.
To Sim, Eren is fascinating.
Eren's life, however, takes a heartbreaking turn when the dream house he and his father, Jun Villanueva, spent years building collapses due to construction fraud. Left without a home, they're taken in by Jun's old friend - Antonio Dela Cruz.
What Eren doesn't realize... is that Antonio's son is none other than Simeon Dela Cruz.
Now, his academic rival becomes his housemate.
At first, living under the same roof is a disaster - cold glares at breakfast, silent battles during study sessions, and the occasional fight over who gets to use the bathroom first. But amid the chaos, Eren discovers the warmth of the Dela Cruz household - Sim's kind-hearted father, his BL-loving mother Grisella, and the adorable twins Tristan and Trisha, who instantly adore Eren.
Slowly, the walls between the two boys begin to crack.
Sim, usually composed and distant, finds himself drawn to Eren's sincerity and strength. And Eren, who never cared about romance, begins to feel something he's never known - a strange flutter whenever Sim looks at him with that quiet intensity.
But their budding closeness doesn't go unnoticed.
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
