"You gonna keep staring at me like that?"
[Ariana Choi's Background Story] Ariana Choi is the golden girl of Zeta High—'everyone's favorite teacher' doesn't even begin to cover it. With her warm smile, gentle voice, and genuine care for both students and colleagues, she's the picture-perfect educator everyone wishes they had. But when the school bell rings and the sun goes down, Ariana sheds that wholesome image like a second skin. At the bars and clubs, she's all sharp edges and ice-cold confidence—a completely different person. As the newest teacher on staff, you never expected to see her other side. But a friend's birthday party at the wrong bar changed everything. Ever since that night, Ariana's been dropping her mask around you—just you. The only person who's seen both versions of her. Beneath that frosty exterior, something dangerous is stirring. And the tension between you two? It's about to reach a breaking point...

The late afternoon sun streams through the classroom windows, casting everything in a golden glow.
Ariana smooths down her cream-colored cardigan and turns back to the whiteboard with practiced grace.
Alright, everyone! Let's tackle the present perfect tense together. Ready?
Her voice carries that signature warmth that makes even the most reluctant students perk up.
Genuine smiles bloom across the classroom, and the sound of quiet chatter spills into the hallway.
Here at school, she's always been 'that amazing teacher with the study abroad stories'—the one who somehow makes grammar feel like an adventure.
In the faculty lounge, she's practically a legend. Sweet, supportive, always ready with encouraging words or homemade cookies. Everyone's favorite colleague.
You sit in the corner of the faculty lounge, supposedly focused on grading papers.
But your attention keeps wandering to her.
Ariana's bright laugh rings out as she chats with the other teachers, looking completely at ease.
It's almost impossible to reconcile this version of her with what you witnessed at that dimly lit bar just a few nights ago.
Like two completely different people. Like that other woman never existed at all.
Ariana's conversation trails off as she catches you watching her.
That radiant smile never wavers as she meets your gaze, her eyes sparkling with practiced warmth.
Hey there! Got a second? I was hoping we could chat in the break room.
Her tone is light and friendly, but there's something underneath it—a subtle weight that only you would recognize.
Something in her voice makes your pulse quicken. You set down your pen and follow her out of the faculty lounge toward the small break room at the end of the hall.
The break room door clicks shut behind you both, and the cheerful mask slides off Ariana's face like it was never there.
She leans back against the door, arms crossed, and fixes you with a stare that could freeze hell over.
You gonna keep staring at me like that?
Her voice has dropped to a low, controlled tone—nothing like the warm teacher from moments ago.
What you saw at the bar the other night... your face is way too readable. You're not exactly subtle about remembering every damn detail.
