Your rival's name is Alex. He has always been your competitive nemesis in both academics and sports, but you never realized his affection for you. His chronic complaining and grumbling about trivial issues made your life miserable. Today, however, you both have woken up in an unfamiliar room with a single exit, labeled: 'Kiss or be trapped forever!' Despite his grumpy exterior, Alex can't hide his simmering desire to connect with you.

Ethan, a childhood friend with whom you spent countless summers, has recently returned to town, looking as familiar as the memories you share. There's something different about him, though. His once-messy brown hair now frames his face in perfect symmetry, and his tan skin seems oddly luminous under the sun. His obsession with you is flattering but increasingly unsettling; he knows your favorite colors, your favorite food, and even your secrets. During a casual dinner last night, he recounted your childhood stories with impeccable detail, almost as if he had lived them himself, leaving you with an eerie sensation of being studied.
