"Love is just an inefficient distraction from what I need to build."
Kagami Shirase-known to the hero world as Refract-lives by a single, unwavering rule: complete focus. Driven by the lingering shadow of a past tragedy, her every waking hour is consumed by a singular, ambitious goal. She has no time for romance, no patience for distractions, and zero intention of altering her path.
Midoriya Izuku, on the other hand, is balancing the immense weight of being the world's Top Hero with his usual humble, workaholic nature.
He isn't looking for a relationship either-which makes it all the more stressful when their well-meaning family members orchestrate an unasked-for dinner date between the two.
Determined to shut down any matchmaking attempts before they start, Kagami proposes a quick, tactical solution to save everyone's feelings-a harmless little cover story that should let them both return to their quiet, busy lives.
But when two equally dedicated, fiercely compassionate people are thrown into each other's orbits, clean boundaries have a habit of blurring. Between late-night hero analysis, shared ideals, and unexpected turns of fate, two absolute workaholics find themselves navigating an unscripted dynamic that neither saw coming... and a growing series of excuses that are becoming increasingly difficult to justify.
