Crossing Lines

ִֶָ🪽་༘࿐ Yumi Han has never been good at staying quiet.
Not when people underestimate her.
Not when they look at her like she's trouble before even knowing her name.

Transferring schools was supposed to be a fresh start.

Instead, she ends up seated next to Riki Nishimura - the cold, sharp-tongued boy everyone seems to admire.

And from the very first day, they can't stand each other.

Every conversation turns into an argument.
Every glance feels like a challenge.
Every moment together ends in frustration.

But when late-night phone calls become normal, jealousy starts slipping through cracks neither of them can hide, and silence suddenly hurts more than fighting...

Yumi begins to realize hatred and attraction might feel dangerously similar.

Especially when the person you swear you dislike becomes the one you can't stop thinking about.

And somewhere between denial, tension, and feelings they refuse to name-

They start falling for each other. Slowly. Completely. Irrevocably.

"You're impossible."

"Then stop looking at me like that."
