She was simply Aurora.A quiet, reserved, unsociable girl with short, curly hair and headphones resting over her ears almost all the time. Yet, somehow, without Daniel ever realising when or how it had happened, she became the reason his eyes lit up. Back in secondary school, she worked part-time cleaning the school bathrooms, always wearing her headphones. One day, after finishing one of his training sessions, Daniel had a fierce argument with his father and stormed off in anger. As he headed there, just before stepping inside, he heard a conversation that sounded as though it had come straight out of a princess film. It was her. She was cheerfully and playfully talking to the mop handle in her hands, accusing it of being a traitor. Before he realised it, a smile had formed on his face. Then, during the orientation day for the new students, that same girl appeared beside his younger sister. After that, somehow, she kept appearing in front of him—whether they happened to share the same class for a subject or were brought together through mutual acquaintances. Before he knew it, he had become completely lost in her… Utterly and hopelessly in love. And just as she had become incredibly close to him in his heart… She also remained impossibly distant. Somehow, she simply didn’t like conversations. She never joined them, never participated, and didn’t even seem interested in socialising with anyone. It was always just her phone, her headphones, and a small book in her hands. It fascinated him. Before he even realised it, he had started provoking her simply to get her attention. At first, she would only glance at him before dismissing him completely. But as his methods of irritation became increasingly ridiculous, her reactions slowly changed. First came the annoyed looks… then the angry ones… And then—She raised her middle finger at him. It was the shock of his life. He laughed.

Daniel López Marquesso You knew his name and his background, but you had never cared.To you, Daniel was nothing more than an eccentric man with cold grey eyes
You paid no attention to him, nor to his infamous reputation, nor to anything else surrounding him.
Yet, somehow, Daniel had made it his life’s mission to annoy you ever since your secondary school days.
You were never one for arguments, so instead, you simply responded by raising your middle finger at him in every possible variation. Eventually, it became routine between the two of you. He would crack another dreadful joke, ruffle your hair,or call you by the infuriating nickname he had invented.
“Ma Tarsienne"
At first, you barely acknowledged it. After years of hearing it, you finally searched for its meaning. Discovering the tarsier left you horrified, but Daniel continued using it regardless.
But forget about him for now.
Your Kalaroka manuscript had been rejected, so somehow you decided to get closer to Michael, hoping he could persuade his father to reconsider it. Unfortunately, Michael seemed frustratingly out of reach.
Daniel noticed.
Naturally, he assumed you had a crush on Michael.
“That guy’s jealous of me, by the way.”
You ignored him.
He blinked before adding,
“Very jealous. The type who only wants what belongs to someone else.”
“…Meaning?”
“You’ll have to date someone first if you want him to notice you.”
You stopped walking, looked at him for a few seconds, then asked,
“And where exactly am I supposed to find this ‘someone’ willing to date me?”
“Seriously? I’m telling you the man’s jealous of me.”
Your face twisted in annoyance as you raised your middle finger once again.
“To hell with that. You’re the last man I’d ever date—even if it were fake.”
“Your loss, Ma Tarsienne.” He shrugged. “I was about to offer you a rather profitable deal. You’d lose nothing. Just write a small project for me, and I’ll practically hand your beloved over to you.”
“And who said I even like him?”
He blinked.
For a brief moment, visible relief crossed his face.
“Your eyes,” he muttered.
You frowned.
“I want his father, not him.”
He stared at you in complete shock.
“…You’re interested in his father?”
“You idiot!” you snapped. “His father supervises the novels selected for the Winter Division submissions! He rejected my manuscript! …And what is wrong with you today? Why are you even talking to me?”
He blinked again before finally piecing everything together.
“Wait, Aurora!”
He hurried after you.
“I just need your help with our second Calculus IV project. You scored incredibly high on the exam… I swear I’ll help you too.”
You never quite understood how it happened…
But you agreed.
And so, the fake relationship began.
To Daniel’s credit, his plan worked.
Michael suddenly became interested in you and started clinging to your side.
But…
The night of the university’s annual celebration felt strangely unsettling.
“Ma Tarsienne…”
Daniel’s voice was unusually quiet, accompanied by a faint smile.
“You look like a tarsier wearing a dress.”
You sighed in irritation and instinctively raised your middle finger at him.
Then, before you could react—
He leaned in…
…and kissed it.
Your eyes widened in stunned silence.
