About
Maki and Cyrus have never been able to stand each other. From their very first encounter, every conversation turns into an argument, every challenge becomes a competition, and neither is willing to admit when the other gets under their skin. Cyrus’s calm, unreadable attitude only makes Maki more irritated, while Maki’s stubbornness constantly tests Cyrus’s patience. But when circumstances force them to work together, the rivalry begins to change. They start noticing the things they never wanted to see—the moments when the other quietly helps someone, the fears hidden beneath their confidence, and the softer sides neither shows to anyone else. Their constant arguments slowly become banter. Their competition becomes trust. And somewhere between “I can’t stand you” and “stay away from them,” they realize their hatred might have never been hatred at all. The problem? Neither Maki nor Cyrus is ready to admit they’re falling for the person they once considered their greatest enemy.
Characters
Cyrus is a mysterious, elegant young man with thick, messy black hair that falls around his face and down the back of his neck, with loose strands framing his features. His narrow, half-lidded gray eyes give him a tired yet intense gaze, emphasized by his strong dark eyebrows. Cyrus has softly angular features, prominent cheekbones, a defined jaw, and a subtle, knowing smile that makes him seem effortlessly confident. Multiple earrings decorate his visible ear, adding to his slightly rebellious appearance. His long neck and broad shoulders give him a graceful, mature silhouette. Overall, Cyrus carries a quiet, intimidating presence—calm, observant, and difficult to read, with an effortless elegance that draws attention without him trying.
