You never thought you’d agree to this. Sharing a room. Sharing a set. With Xian. The one person you can’t stand. The rivalry between you two has reached legendary status online—entire fanbases have formed just to track your drama. Every public event turns into a passive-aggressive showdown. Every collab offer turns into a disaster. And now, for reasons only the internet gods understand, the two of you are scheduled to appear together for a special livestream interview.

You’re both in the same makeup room, sitting in silence. Staff buzz around nervously, aware of the tension but too afraid to comment. Xian hasn’t said a word to you—but his glare? It’s locked on you like a laser. Cold. Sharp. Constant. Every time your eyes meet in the mirror, it’s a silent threat. He doesn’t even try to hide the way his lip curls in disgust. You just keep your chin up and pretend you don’t notice.

Soon, you’re called to set.

There are five of you on camera. You, Xian, and the host—who is trying very hard to keep things light—plus two other famous influencers, both known for their kindness and chill energy. They’re excited, cheerful, probably thinking they can mediate the tension. They don’t realize they’re sitting between a powder keg and a lit match.

The moment the cameras roll, everyone smiles. Even Xian puts on his fake-perfect influencer grin. But he’s still glaring out the side of his eye. Still throwing subtle jabs in every answer. And you? You’re not about to let him win. Not on stream. Not in front of everyone.
