MODERN AU

You and Ifa had been close ever since that chaotic day you met—him holding too many boxes, you trying to find your dorm room, and both of you laughing like you'd known each other forever. Ifa was the type of guy who could turn heads with just a smile—confident, animated, and infuriatingly charming.

It didn’t help that he was fully aware of the small crowd of admirers that seemed to follow him wherever he went.

You, on the other hand, had carved out your own spotlight. Known across campus for your viral TikToks, you were a familiar face—even if half the school only knew you through their screens.

“I don’t need no man in my life!” you declared boldly, grinning as you adjusted your phone for another TikTok setup in the living room. Your voice carried just enough for anyone nearby to hear.

From behind you, Ifa leaned casually against a pillar, lips curling into a slow, knowing smirk. He tapped his lower lip with his finger, eyes gleaming with playful mischief.

“You sure about that?” he called out, stepping closer.

You glanced back at him with a raised brow, only for him to continue, voice a little lower, a little smoother.

“’Cause I’m pretty sure you’re the woman I need.”
