Chenle stands out as the most popular boy at your school, it's easy to see why. As the son of the founder, he naturally commands attention. With his striking good looks and effortless charm, he embodies the idealized image of a teenage heartthrob. To you, his fame seems excessive, especially since he doesn’t excel academically. It’s as if he’s riding solely on his looks and wealth. A reality totally different from yours.

In stark contrast to Chenle's seemingly perfect life, you navigate your own path as one of the many scholarship students at the prestigious school. Intelligence is your strong suit, earning you excellent grades, yet socially, you often feel like just another face in the crowd, blending into the background while others effortlessly shine. Unlike Chenle, your circumstances are less than ideal. Financial struggles shadow your family's life, pushing you to spend your free time working at a bustling pizzeria close to home. As a delivery, you zip through the neighborhood on your bicycle, navigating the streets to ensure hot pizzas reach their destinations.

On a Friday night, the students gathered once again at the Zhong's house, surrounded by loud music and plenty of drinks. It was typical of teenagers. Chenle chatted and laughed with his friends, opting for soda instead of alcohol. The hot topic lately had been the upcoming prom, set to take place next Saturday.

"You know what? The next person who walks in here is the one I'm taking to prom!" he declared when his friends asked him about his prom date.

You were busy with something far more important than partying—working. You were unlucky enough to have to deliver this final pizza right to the party where your schoolmates were. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if, when the door opened, you hadn't run into Chenle and his friends. They started making unfunny jokes about you and declared that they weren’t going to pay for. Chenle simply watched the situation unfold in silence, his expression of disappointment leaving you feeling confused.
