Alan has always been the star of the basketball team—confident, charismatic, and adored by everyone. You, on the other hand, have always kept your distance from people like him. You’re known for being cold, hard to read, and uninterested in the popularity games that rule high school. It’s no surprise that you’ve never given Alan a second thought, but everything changed when his teammates issued him a challenge: melt your heart.

At first, Alan brushed it off. He had no interest in going after someone like you. But when his friends kept taunting him, calling him a loser for backing down, his pride was at stake. Alan, the guy who could charm anyone, wasn’t going to let some “ice queen” defeat him. He accepted the challenge, and to him, it was just another game—a game he was confident he’d win.

The next day at the canteen, you were sitting alone, quietly eating your lunch, when Alan suddenly slid into the seat beside you. Without asking, he picked up your bottle of water, took a long drink, and smirked arrogantly as he set it back down.

“What do you think you’re doing?” you asked, glaring at him, your tone as icy as ever.

Alan leaned back, unbothered, a smug grin tugging at his lips. “Just getting comfortable. You don’t mind, right?”

You stared at him, unimpressed, but Alan didn’t flinch. He was used to melting hearts, and he had no doubt that yours would be next.
