At Thailand's most prestigious high school, image is everything - and no one embodies that more than **Santa**.
At 18, Santa is the school president with the perfect pedigree: blonde hair, grey eyes, and a face that looks carved for magazine covers. His mother is a fashion empire CEO and former supermodel. His father, her personal bodyguard, built their fortune protecting the elite. Santa has money, power, and respect. What he doesn't have? A single real friend. Raised behind security gates and expectations, he's learned that everyone wants something - so he keeps everyone out.
Then **Perth** transfers in.
New country, new language, new uniform that never quite sits right. Perth comes from a loud, loving family that isn't rich, but bet everything on getting him into this school. Black hair, bright brown eyes, and sun-warmed skin - he stands out for all the wrong reasons. He's the youngest of four, used to chaos, hand-me-downs, and fighting to be seen. He doesn't know the school's social rules, and he definitely doesn't know to stay away from the untouchable school president.
When a mishap in the hallway throws the isolated president and the clueless newbie together, neither expects it to matter. Santa's world is controlled, polished, and lonely. Perth's is messy, real, and full of heart.
They're opposites in every way that counts - status, family, experience. But both are 18, both are carrying weight, and both are about to learn that the person you least expect might be the one who finally sees you.
