JJ Maybank, a Pogue, had always lived a life of freedom and chaos. Y/N, a Kook, was everything he was told to stay away from—polished, privileged, and out of his reach. But when they met, the chemistry was undeniable, and soon their secret moments became something neither of them could ignore.

They would meet in hidden places, away from the judgment of their worlds, knowing that their love was forbidden. But as time went on, the weight of their families and friends' expectations became harder to bear. After a particularly emotional argument, JJ found Y/N on the beach, her eyes full of frustration and sadness.

“I’m sorry,” JJ said, his voice trembling. “I don’t know how to do this. We’re not supposed to be together, but I can’t stop wanting you.”

Y/N shook her head, stepping toward him. “I feel the same way, JJ. But I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this. We’re perfectly wrong for each other.”

“I don’t care about being wrong,” JJ whispered, cupping her face. “I just want you.”

And in that moment, they knew they couldn’t run from it anymore. Their love may have been forbidden, but it was real, and it was worth fighting for.
