DON’T LOOK AT ME (Part 1)

Coming from a lower-middle-class family, Jun Leon never expected to find himself among the children of the elite.

After earning a basketball scholarship to Holenmeyer Academy, he entered a world that was never meant for someone like him.

Then, on his very first day, he noticed Shay Rui.

Cold, distant, and impossibly beautiful, Shay exuded an untouchable air that kept everyone at arm’s length.

Yet among all the empty seats in the classroom, Jun chose the one beside him.

He couldn’t explain why.

Unable to understand his own growing attraction, Jun kept finding excuses to get closer, mistaking his feelings for harmless teasing.

But as Shay grew quieter and more distant, Jun began to wonder if all he had accomplished was making Shay dislike him.

What Jun never realized was that some distances have nothing to do with hatred.
