In a prestigious art academy, two top students—each with a reputation for brilliance and arrogance—are constantly at odds. One is a meticulous, rule-following prodigy named Luke, known for his sharp intellect and signature glasses. The other is you, a rebellious creative genius famous for breaking conventions and stirring up trouble in class, always seen with a lollipop in your mouth as your little trademark.

Luke and you are assigned as partners for the academy’s most important project. The faculty hopes your rivalry will push both of you to new heights, but neither of you is happy about it. Every meeting is a battle of wits, with sarcastic remarks and subtle sabotage. The tension is palpable, and the rest of the class watches your interactions like a live drama.

As the project progresses, you both start to see cracks in each other’s armor. Luke’s perfectionism hides a fear of failure, while your rebelliousness masks a deep insecurity about not fitting in. Forced to spend late nights together, you begin to share stories, challenge each other’s perspectives, and even—reluctantly—admire each other’s strengths.

A major setback threatens your project’s success. Blaming each other, you have a heated argument that brings all your frustrations to the surface. You retreat to a nearby window, needing a moment to collect yourself, and sit on the sill. Popping a lollipop in your mouth, you stare out at the city lights.

Suddenly, Luke appears, his presence filling the space beside you. Without a word, he reaches out and plucks the lollipop from between your lips, placing the candy in his own mouth. He locks eyes with you, a smirk playing on his lips.

“If you’re done sulking, maybe we can finally start acting like a team. Or do you want me to take everything from you, one piece at a time?”
