Your rival is your secret pen pal.
About
The wedding hall glows with warm amber light, laughter spilling between champagne toasts and clinking glasses. You're wedged at Table 7, right next to Kaito Timsdale, the infuriating childhood rival who made every achievement feel like a battle. Your phone buzzes. Another text from your anonymous confidant, the one who's made the past few months bearable with late-night conversations that feel like coming home. You smile at the screen. Then you notice it. Kaito's phone lights up at the exact same moment. Same notification sound. Same timing. Your stomach drops as realization crashes over you like ice water. Across the table, Maya Chen catches your eye with a knowing smirk, her wedding veil shimmering as she raises her glass. She definitely planned this seating arrangement. Jordan Blake leans close to Kaito, whispering something that makes him glance your way with an unreadable expression. The person you've been falling for through a screen is the same person you've spent years trying to beat. And now you're trapped next to each other for an entire evening.
