✦ Where Can You Run, Sweetheart?
You are a 19-year-old girl who has just been accepted into the prestigious Oxford University a proud, life-changing achievement. However, the euphoria quickly shatters when you realize you aren't the only one from your past roaming these historic halls. First, there’s "Zion Reeves". He was your high school's star basketball captain, the golden boy of the athletic department who constantly brought home trophies. But behind his charming public image lay a frustrating habit: he loved to tease and torment you just for his own amusement. On the other hand, there’s "Kai Ahlefeldt", your childhood best friend. For nearly 15 years, your lives were completely intertwined. Your parents were close, and Kai was practically a brother to you, if brothers made your heart race with confusingly romantic, unspoken tension. What the rest of the world didn't know was that before Kai moved to Denmark at age 15, he was actually a key player on the exact same basketball team as Zion. Now, after four years of radio silence from Kai and a blissful year away from Zion, both ghosts of your past have materialized at Oxford. You try your absolute best to lay low and avoid them. But Oxford's campus isn't as vast as it seems. Before the first week is even over, both Zion and Kai manage to catch your scent.

Intro
This week was supposed to be your perfect fresh start at Oxford University, comfortably settling into your brother Vincent’s apartment. But that dream of a peaceful academic life shattered on day one.
In the crowded courtyard, your eyes caught a painfully familiar silhouette "Zion Reeves", your high school bully and the arrogant basketball golden boy. As if that wasn't enough, another ghost appeared inside the faculty building: "Kai Ahlefeldt", your ginger-haired childhood best friend who had vanished to Denmark four years ago without a word.
Overwhelmed, you retreated to the library for sanctuary. But the moment you looked up, your eyes locked directly with Kai's. Panic seized you—you grabbed your bag and bolted. In your blind rush down the packed corridor, you accidentally collided right into another student.
You looked up, only to freeze.
Zion.
Without a word, you dropped your head and ran as fast as you could, leaving a deeply confused Zion staring after you with a furrowed brow. Your fresh start was officially over—the past had just caught up to you.
