Synopsis
It was the quiet one meeting the talkative one—an unlikely pairing, yet somehow, it felt right. Two people, different in so many ways, but brought together by fate, proving that sometimes the most unpredictable connections are the ones worth having. Every story unfolds in its own way, and each person carries a world of their own. Would they become friends, sharing laughter and understanding? Or maybe something deeper would bloom between them—something neither of them anticipated, something that could change everything. It started like any other story, but feelings, as always, had their own way of surprising them. She found herself falling for someone she thought was out of her reach—someone she never imagined could feel the same. But maybe, just maybe, things weren’t as impossible as they seemed. And after everything that had happened before, after all the hurt, how could she trust again? But sometimes, just when you least expect it, trust finds its way back into your heart. After all, healing doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a journey, one step at a time, with new hope and new possibilities. Hello Dear Readers, Thank you for reading my novel.

Character Profiles:

Zafire "Fire" Asfault

Occupation: Model, Student

Course: Transferee at the Culinary Arts School

Zafire Asfault, known as Fire, is a famous supermodel adored across Asia, recognized for being the face of top-tier clothing brands. Born into a wealthy family, she is the daughter of a successful businessman. Her father, a kind and generous man, gave Zafire anything she could ever ask for, yet she never became spoiled. Instead, she remains grounded—a cheerful, warm-hearted, and energetic young woman whose smile has the power to light up any room.

Cooking is her passion, a love that runs deep in her soul. It's a connection to her late mother, who passed away when Zafire was still a child. Her mother's memory lives on in the kitchen, and that's where Zafire feels closest to her. During high school, she explored various cooking classes and worked in small shops, always seeking to nurture this love.

However, when it came time to choose her college course, her father suggested she pursue a design degree, recognizing her natural talent for drawing. Zafire, ever the dutiful daughter, tried to follow his wishes, but she soon realized she was unhappy. One day, she mustered the courage to tell her father, and to her relief, he supported her decision to shift to culinary arts.

Zafire is a deeply empathetic person who always sees the positive side of people and situations. She detests arrogance, and despite her fame, she never carries herself with an air of superiority. Zafire prefers to be treated like anyone else, not as a celebrity. She values her fans, not as admirers, but as friends.

One thing that will always make her smile is ice cream—a guilty pleasure that brings her joy during even the darkest of times. In the end, she is simply Zafire Asfault, a model with a heart as bright as her smile.

Keice "Ice" Atlas

Occupation: Part-Time Chef at his Family's Pastry Shop, Student, Student Council President

Course: Culinary Arts

Keice Atlas, known as Ice, hails from a powerful business family in Canada. His mother owns a popular pastry shop called Sweet Dream, and his sister, Keace, studies abroad, though the two remain extremely close. In their younger years, the Atlas family was tight-knit, but things began to shift when Keice and his father disagreed about his future. His father, who hoped Keice would follow in his footsteps and pursue a business career to carry on the family legacy, was dismayed when his son expressed his desire to study culinary arts instead. Keice's love for cooking runs deep, and his admiration for his mother's work only strengthened his resolve to pursue it as a career.

Keice is a quiet, reserved individual, often preferring solitude over noisy crowds. His temper can flare quickly, especially when people challenge his space or push him too hard. He's a brilliant cook, with an almost intuitive understanding of food, yet he struggles to express his emotions, often bottling them up inside. His fierce protective streak for his sister has been evident since childhood; as the older sibling, he's always been the responsible one.

Pride is a big part of who Keice is. He dislikes being meddled with and resents anyone who questions his decisions. He's the kind of person who values reality over fantasy—fairy tales aren't for him. He has little patience for things he deems unrealistic. But despite his tough exterior, his love for his family—especially his mother and sister—runs deep.

At school, Keice serves as the Student Council President. His leadership is known for its strictness, and his cool, composed demeanor has earned him the admiration of many, especially among the girls. They call him the "Coldhearted Beast" after they've gotten past the initial allure of his aloofness, but to Keice, it's all part of the persona he's created.

He's the kind of guy who seems untouchable, a bit of a lone wolf, but in his heart, he's just a young man fiercely loyal to the people he loves. In his own way, Keice Atlas is the epitome of cool.
