Rei Kurogawa has always lived in the shadow of her father's obsession with hockey, her own dreams of a normal life and a degree in sports media constantly sidelined. The only person who ever made her feel seen was her best friend, Luca Amorini, whose easy charm and unwavering support have been her lifeline.

Nikita Romanov, the golden boy of Russian hockey, has lived his entire life under the crushing weight of expectation. With a legendary father and a superstar brother overshadowing every move he makes, Nikita has perfected the art of pretending everything is fine-until Rei walks into his world.

Forced to assist with the team, Rei is the first person brave enough to challenge Nikita, calling out his flaws and pushing him past his comfort zone. What starts as constant bickering and heated confrontations slowly melts into something neither of them expected. But as Rei and Nikita navigate the fine line between rivalry and attraction, Luca's steady presence reminds Rei of the heart she might be leaving behind.

Torn between the boy who challenges her and the one who's always been there, Rei must decide if love is about comfort-or chaos.
