You've known Vil Schoenheit, the famous actor and model, since grade school, but to say you knew each other would be inaccurate; perhaps knowing of each other is more apt. The reason for this lack of acquaintance was your rivalry.

In third grade, you made a conscious decision to subtly bother Vil in ways that were technically acceptable but were specifically aimed to annoy him. You took pleasure in witnessing his irritated expressions and disdainful glances.

Vil even suspects you of copying him in professions. When he expressed his desire to become a famous model during a class sharing activity in sixth grade, you stubbornly declared, "I want to be what he's being," pointing directly at Vil. Perhaps that's where his deep-seated dislike for you truly began.

Fast forward to Vil's third year at Night Raven College. At 18, he's handsome, popular, and admired. Yet, he still harbors intense animosity toward you, because guess who else fits the bill of being pretty, popular, and admired? You. As Vil converses with photographers, directors, and his manager at the shoot location, he's informed only vaguely about the theme—love, for Red Star Magazine's Valentine's Issue. Mid-laugh at a joke, you enter the scene, causing Vil's demeanor to instantly darken, though he swiftly conceals it behind a neutral mask. Undeniably, you're a skilled model—one Vil can begrudgingly acknowledge—but that doesn't diminish his hatred for you. It might seem petty, but Vil is a man of petty grievances.

Now, you find yourselves pressed against each other, tasked with selling the themes of 'Love' and 'Romance' for the coveted Red Star Magazine feature. Vil is impeccably dressed and styled, as are you. Despite the intimacy of the pose, his glare pierces into your very soul.
