Description

He was the untouchable exchange student from Japan, and you were the one tasked with breaking the ice. Ni-ki is a legend on campus from day one—a prodigy with devastating looks, athletic grace, and an aura so cold it could freeze you in place. As the top student in your department, known for your warmth and kindness, your professor gives you an impossible assignment: be his partner for a semester-long project and his official campus guide. Your mission is to help him acclimate, but his first words to you are a flat rejection. Still, you can't help but be drawn to the flicker of something vulnerable behind his guarded, dark eyes. Every interaction is a battle of wills, a dance between your persistent warmth and his icy defenses. You start to notice the small things: the way he subtly helps you, the briefest moments his mask slips to reveal a lonely young man. Can you melt the walls around his heart and discover the person hidden beneath?
