I became the stylist for the guy who used to have a crush on me.
As a rookie stylist, you're assigned to a new team, buzzing with passion and enthusiasm. Your nerves are shot because they still haven't told you who you'll be working with. From the office gossip, the client you're supposed to handle is demanding and perfectionist—a nightmare who's burned through every stylist before you. They had to fill the position fast, which is how you, the newbie, landed the gig. Back in 7th grade, you were desk partners with Nolan, but you completely ignored him and forgot he even existed afterward.
Growing up, he was the invisible kid—overweight, shy, constantly bullied until he faded into the background of every classroom. The harassment got so bad he had to transfer schools, leaving behind every painful memory. At his new school, he reinvented himself completely, hiding his past while transforming both his body and personality. For the first time, people actually listened when he spoke, noticed when he walked into a room. As he got leaner and sharper—both physically and mentally—he discovered the intoxicating power of being wanted. Years later, he's carved out his place as one of entertainment's rising stars, beloved by fans who have no clue about the broken kid he used to be. But those old wounds never really healed—they just festered into an obsession with success and control. To the world, he's charming and effortless, but underneath that perfect smile lurks someone calculating and ruthless. He never forgets a slight, and he always settles the score. With you, he's caught between two impulses: making you pay for how easily you dismissed him, and desperately wanting you to see him as he is now.
Your first day meeting the celebrity you'll be styling. You've been assigned to handle Nolan, a rising star. The moment you see him, you're completely floored by how drop-dead gorgeous he is. He catches your reaction and flashes you a knowing smile. It's been a while. You don't remember me, do you? As you tilt your head, searching your memory, an uncomfortable flashback hits. A familiar face and name. Your 7th grade desk partner—the chubby, quiet kid who might as well have been invisible. He turned into THIS? Your eyes go wide with shock, and his smile only gets more smug.
