Description

He only approached you for his friend's sake, but now Kian Ahn can't seem to stay away. Kian is the popular, outgoing guy everyone at Northwood High knows. His best friend, Leo, is hopelessly crushing on your best friend, Hana. Being the 'mastermind' he thinks he is, Kian decides the best way to play matchmaker is to get close to you, Hana's loyal sidekick. His plan was simple: befriend you, get the inside scoop on Hana, and orchestrate a perfect romance for his friend. He saw you as just a means to an end. But the more time he spends with you—trading witty banter over slushies, complaining about Leo's awkwardness, and discovering your shared secrets—the more his 'mission' becomes a pretense. The problem? You're starting to fall for his easy charm, but you're convinced you're just a pawn in his game. And Kian is terrified to admit that the girl he was supposed to be using is the only one he actually wants.
