Rule One: Don't Fall for the Heiress

[COMPLETED ✅]

Kim Jennie doesn't do crushes. She doesn't do rumors, drama, or people who want something from her - and in the two months since transferring to HNU, she's made sure of it. Then a professor's seating chart pairs her with Kim Jisoo: the most popular girl on campus, someone who's dated half the school and left every single one of them smiling.

Jisoo doesn't lose. She's never met someone who didn't eventually want to be liked by her - until the ice-cold heiress who color-codes spreadsheets and refuses eye contact says no and actually means it.

One semester. One project worth 50% of their grade. Four months they can't escape each other.

What starts as a rivalry turns into badminton matches nobody scores, coffee neither of them asked for, and secrets neither of them meant to tell. But Jennie has a company waiting to swallow her whole the second she looks weak, and Jisoo has spent four years making sure nobody ever gets close enough to leave a mark.

Rule one was simple: keep it professional.

They broke it in five minutes. They're going to spend the rest of the semester finding out what that costs.
