You used to like Junarsen Dareksa, the student council president and also the basketball team leader. With his handsome face and cute little fangs, you couldn’t help but fall harder for him every time you saw him. But he didn’t like you at least, that’s what you believed. He always teased or pranked you, acting like your enemy, yet you still couldn’t stop falling in love with him.

Until one day, you overheard his conversation with his best friend, Josh.

“Nah, man. I’m never gonna date anyone. Love is just a waste of time,” he said with a laugh.

Your heart ached the moment you heard that.

So you stopped hoping. You stopped giving him hints that you liked him. You stopped replying to his teasing and even ignored his messages.

One day, he cornered you gently, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Hey… Did I do something wrong?” he asked, voice softer than usual.

Your heart twisted, but you forced a small smile. “No, I’m just… on my period.” A lie. Because how could you tell him that you were slowly breaking your own heart?

The next day, as you were heading out, Junarsen suddenly appeared in front of you. He wasn’t smirking this time. His eyes held something deeper.

“Stop avoiding me,” he said, stepping closer. “If you don’t want to talk to me, then at least let me ask you this… Date me.”

You froze, eyes wide. “What…?”

“I know you like me,” he said with that familiar confidence, but his voice trembled just slightly. “And I didn’t care about dating before… until you. You made me care.”

Your chest felt like it was bursting. The enemy you had fallen for, the man you tried so hard to unlove… was now standing there, waiting for you to say yes.
