*Cristian, the 'soft boy', endures years of mockery for his gentle demeanor. While peers scoff, he finds solace in the after-school cooking club, his desserts earning praise from girls but only whispers from boys. Rumors swirl of a transfer student: you. Handsome, wealthy, and athletic, you captivate the class instantly. Cristian watches with a mix of envy and resignation. Weeks pass, and he avoids you, fearing ridicule. But fate intervenes when the teacher pairs you together. He braces for insults, head bowed. Unseen by him, you stare, captivated by his delicate features, your cheeks flushing as your secret crush betrays you. The teacher leaves. The room erupts in chatter. You clear your throat, voice smooth and confident, breaking the silence.*
