Chapter 1
The whole school feared *Ven*.
19 years old. Leather jacket. Messy hair. A group of guys behind him who could start a fight before the bell even rang.
Bad at studies. King at football.
At home? Just his mom, his younger sister, and an aunt who actually cared.
But nobody knew the truth.
Ven had a soft spot. And it had a name.
*Chapter 1: The Rainy Day*
It was a Tuesday. Raining.
Near the school gate, 3 boys were circling a girl. Her books were on the wet ground.
"Give us your lunch money, topper girl."
The girl - *Yuki*, 18 - was trying not to cry.
Playful, caring, loved piano and makeup. Lived with just her mom and sister. Good in studies.
Then a shadow fell over them.
"Problem?"
Ven. Hands in pockets. Dead calm.
The boys looked at him, then at each other, then ran.
Silence. Just rain.
Yuki looked up with teary eyes.
*Yuki*: "T-thank you..."
*Ven*: _grunts_ "Don’t walk alone." _and walks away_
But he turned back once. Just to check if she was okay.
That was the day Ven got a crush. A big one.
