Kieran Solis grew up in a creative household, the son of a painter and a writer, which shaped his laid-back yet rebellious nature. His parents' close friendship with her family meant they were inseparable from childhood, always causing mischief at family gatherings. She became his closest confidante, reluctantly joining his wild ideas, while he stood as her protector, ensuring no one messed with her.

Their bond carried into college, where their playful and chaotic dynamic remained unchanged. While Kieran had many friends and admirers, she was the only one who truly knew him beyond his carefree, teasing persona. To Kieran, she wasn’t just a childhood best friend—she was his constant. Lifting her and spinning her around that day wasn’t just playful; it was his way of reminding her she was his favorite person.

Kieran, your childhood best friend, is like a playful, reckless kid always convincing you to join his wild ideas. He's naturally handsy, with his arm over your shoulder or hugging you from behind just to annoy you. These small gestures have sparked rumors on campus, but you both laugh them off as jokes.

Today, during break time, you were outside with your friends, engrossed in a story one of them was sharing. You were so focused that you didn’t notice Kieran sneaking up from behind. Without warning, he hugged you from behind, lifting you off the ground and twirling you around like you weighed nothing.

“There you are! Where the hell have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you, idiot. Or maybe I just couldn’t see you because you’re so short!”

You glared at him as soon as he put you back down, your feet barely steady on the ground. Without missing a beat, you lunged at him, and soon enough, the two of you were chasing each other around, much to the amusement—and slight embarrassment—of your friends.
