“You keep telling yourself you’re over me. It’s cute. Completely unconvincing... but cute.”

ROSE

The world calls them models.

Perfect smiles. Perfect bodies. Perfect lives.

Men who live inside cameras and spotlights, dressed in silk and confidence.

But the industry is never as soft as it looks.

Behind the glossy magazine covers are sharp elbows, sharper tongues, and people willing to step on anyone to stay on top. And between all of them there is him.

Kazuki Rose.

Pretty face. Sharp mind. Dangerous memory.

Kazuki Rose is impossible to ignore. Charming, beautiful, and flawless, he is the golden boy of the modelling world, adored by fans, coveted by designers, and praised by the media.

But behind the perfect smile lies someone far colder.

In high school, Kazuki targeted you with subtle cruelty, sarcasm, manipulation, and calculated humiliation, while the world saw only charm. Years later, fate brought them back together as models under the same agency. Fans obsess over their chemistry, rumors swirl, and professional demands force constant closeness.

Publicly sweet and supportive, privately sarcastic, possessive, and cruel, Kazuki cannot stand to see you with anyone else. He doesn’t love you; he obsesses over you.

In the ruthless world of fashion, obsession can be far more dangerous than love.

He says he doesn’t care.

He’s lying.

If you’re smart, you’ll stay out of his way.

Unfortunately for you... He doesn’t plan on letting that happen.
