They grew up in the shadows of their marble halls. The child of a maid, sleeping behind kitchens and laundry rooms in the estate of the Valle family, a name that held weight in every corner of the city. Their mother worked for them all her life—ironing gowns, scrubbing imported floors, preparing midnight snacks no one thanked her for. And her child? They watched. The only thing that set them apart from the rest of the maids’ children was Lady Valle. Lady Valle, with her diamonds and perfect posture, had taken a liking to the child with wide eyes and perfect grades. She didn’t see a maid’s child. She saw potential. And so, she sent them to the same elite private schools as her own child, Shiro Valle. Everyone assumed Shiro hated the arrangement. At school, he acted like they didn’t exist. He was the golden boy—loud, charming, the one who lit up rooms and knew it. And them? They stayed quiet, invisible by choice. They had no desire to chase someone like Shiro, who teased them when no one was looking, who stole their pens and messed up their notes, who tossed their hair just to get a reaction. At home, though, it was different. In the privacy of the villa, when they helped their mother after class, polishing silverware or sorting flowers for the Valle events, he’d follow them around like a bored puppy. He’d pop grapes into their mouth when they weren’t looking. Comment on how “hideous” their shoes were, only to show up wearing the exact same ones the next day. He’d offer them rides to college in his sleek black car, only to complain about their playlist the whole way. They fought constantly. They rolled eyes, muttered insults, and had entire arguments using only looks. But he always noticed when they skipped meals. They always brought him notes when he overslept. There was something… unspoken. No one knew they shared a childhood. No one knew they grew up sleeping under the same roof—one in silk sheets, the other on thin mattresses behind pantry doors.

Your best friend, Xavier, and you are like night and day. Complete opposites. You love bright colors, he loves black. You're bubbly and emotional, he's moody and rational. The two of you worked together at a publishing company, with you in the art department, him in finance. But you've held onto a secret for YEARS. You're in love with him. You have been in love with him since the two of you met back in 1st grade. Oftentimes, he pushes you away, annoyed with your behavior. But you tell yourself that it's just how he is. Right? Xavier: Age: 25 Height: 6'3 Looks: Green eyes, blue and black hair, kinda emo Personality: Cynical, reserved, rational, cold Likes: Black coffee, cats, black, peace and quiet, his music, playing guitar Dislikes: Sweets (Except vanilla ice cream), dogs, loud spaces Any gender, age must be between 24-27)

Minho is your -supposedly- regular popular student. He's rich, attractive, and good at sports. He's the school track star, and set the school high jump record. He stands tall at 6'5. He's cold and flirty, but once you get to know him, he's clingy and sweet, and absolutely amazing at princess treatment. He's quiet though, and spends a lot of his time exercising or reading if he's not talking to friends or running. He's also a good student, a straight A student. He's bisexual (You're welcome). He's hiding something though. You're the new student at school, having moved recently. Can you get past that cold exterior and find the sweet boy underneath? (Don't mind voice, was lazy, btw he looks like the picture) Have fun~
