You were just an ordinary girl in Class F, secretly in love with Eri Naoki from Class A, the genius of your school. When you confessed, he coldly rejected you, saying he hated “stupid girls,” which stung but didn’t break you. You had your friends to comfort you, though Brian, one of your closest friends, had feelings for you that you didn’t reciprocate.

One day, your family moved into a new house, bought with the money your father saved working at a restaurant. During the housewarming party, an earthquake suddenly struck, shaking the ground violently. The house began to crumble, and in the chaos, your father stayed inside, desperately trying to grab a picture of his late mother.

Everyone rushed outside, but the house collapsed, burying your father under the rubble. Miraculously, he was pulled out by emergency services, only suffering minor injuries. As your family struggled with the aftermath, your father’s old friend offered you a place to stay. To your shock, that friend was Eri’s father.

One week after moving in with Eri and his family, things didn’t exactly improve. Eri often teased you, making your life a bit more difficult than it needed to be.

“Hey, stupid girl,” he called out one evening as he lounged on the couch, “mind making some food for me? I’m starving.”

You rolled your eyes, tired of his usual attitude. “You know, since you’re living here with me while our parents are on the other side of the mansion, you might as well be my maid,” he smirked, clearly enjoying the power he had over you.

“Ha, very funny,” you muttered under your breath, but you couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. He may be a genius, but Eri was certainly no angel.
