Kiss the Enemy
First Day at Huaxing University
Luxury cars pull up at the gates. Cameras flash. Reporters murmur excitedly. Everyone wants to see the new season’s star athletes.
Crowd
It’s Kai Liang… the Liang heir!
Crowd
Old money perfection!
Kai Liang
Another tournament. Another day. Nothing new.
Kai steps out of a sleek black Rolls Royce, perfectly dressed in a tailored tracksuit. He adjusts his racket bag, his expression cold and unreadable.
No one dares approach him. Not because he’s intimidating—he just doesn’t give them a reason.
Crowd
Min Jae! The Korean prodigy!
Crowd
New money, unstoppable on the court!
A red sports car screeches to a stop. Min Jae steps out, sunglasses on, smirking. Cameras click non-stop.
Min Jae
Well, well… look who’s still pretending he’s royalty.
Kai Liang
At least I don’t need to scream for attention.
Old money versus new money. Rivals since junior championships. Every glance between them feels like a challenge.
Inside the girls’ dorm, Araya “Aya” Thepparit drops her luggage onto her side of the room with flair. Gold earrings glint as she stretches dramatically.
Araya Thepparit
(grinning)
Araya Thepparit
First day, first impression… let’s make them remember me.
The door clicks. Lin Yue enters, perfectly poised, hair in a sleek ponytail. Her eyes sweep over Aya.
Lin Yue
You really think flashy accessories help?
Araya Thepparit
(smirking)
Araya Thepparit
Better gaudy than boring. You look like you’re at a funeral.
Lin Yue
Loud, flashy, and obnoxious. Typical new money.
Araya Thepparit
(thinking)
Araya Thepparit
Ice queen alert. Looks like trouble.
Their dorm is luxurious. Each student has their own private bedroom, but they share a spacious living room and a fully equipped kitchen. Perfect for privacy… and perfect for conflict.
Kai inspects his room silently, noting the comfort and style. Min Jae throws his luggage onto his bed, spinning a racket in his hand.
Aya flops onto the couch in the living room, stretching, while Yue sits at the dining table, neatly organizing her belongings.
Araya Thepparit
(grinning)
Araya Thepparit
Looks like we’ll see each other a lot… even if it’s just in the kitchen.
Even with separate rooms, tension fills the shared spaces. Every interaction, casual or forced, is another spark in the fire of rivalry.
Later, Kai heads to the kitchen to grab water. Min Jae is already there, leaning against the counter, smirking.
Min Jae
You actually drink water like a mortal. Didn’t expect that.
Kai Liang
And I didn’t expect to see you here bragging before breakfast.
Across the hall, Aya and Yue bump into each other making tea. Their hands meet over the kettle.
Araya Thepparit
Watch it. I’m not afraid to pour hot water on you.
Even small moments in shared spaces become arenas for their rivalry.
Dorm Tensions
The morning sun filtered through the tall windows of the shared dorm. The four heirs had spent the night in their separate rooms, but the living room and kitchen were calling them together again.
Kai had his racket in hand, stretching quietly. Min Jae leaned against the kitchen counter, sipping juice with a smug grin.
Min Jae
Stretching already, Liang? Trying to look athletic before breakfast?
Kai Liang
Someone has to be ready for when I actually beat you.
Min Jae
Dream on. You’ll choke like last time.
[Aya and Yue enter the living room]
Araya Thepparit
(grinning)
Araya Thepparit
Morning, princess. Sleep well in your perfectly neat little room?
Lin Yue
(without looking up from her notes)
Lin Yue
Unlike some people, I actually value order.
Araya Thepparit
Order doesn’t win matches. Skill does.
Lin Yue
(smirking faintly)
Lin Yue
Skill comes from discipline, not flashy outfits and earrings.
Even in the dorms, the tension between them was palpable. Every glance, every word, another spark ready to ignite.
[Kai and Min Jae join them in the living room]
Kai Liang
Are you sure you’re not going to trip over your own earrings again during practice?
Araya Thepparit
(snapping)
Araya Thepparit
Watch it, Liang! I have better reflexes than you, too.
Min Jae
Careful, Yue. Don’t let your perfect hair distract you from the game.
Lin Yue
Unlike some people, I don’t need to rely on distractions.
The four of them circled each other like competitors in a pre-match game, testing, provoking, sizing each other up.
Despite the bickering, the dorm was starting to feel… lived in. Kai and Min Jae kept glancing at each other, a silent rivalry simmering under every word. Aya and Yue shared the kitchen awkwardly while making breakfast—careful not to touch the same utensils.
Araya Thepparit
(grumbling)
Araya Thepparit
If I wanted to cook with someone this uptight, I’d have stayed home.
Lin Yue
And if I wanted to cook with someone this loud, I’d hire a chef.
Kai Liang
(muttering to Min Jae)
Kai Liang
Honestly… they’re worse than we are.
Min Jae
Speak for yourself. I tolerate this chaos for sport.
(Moment later in the kitchen )
Kai tried making tea, Aya leaned over the counter to adjust the kettle, Yue’s notebook slipped onto the floor, and Min Jae barely caught it.
Araya Thepparit
Watch it! That’s mine!
Lin Yue
Careful, or you’ll spill your dignity next.
Kai Liang
They’re impossible… all of them.
Min Jae
And somehow… intriguing.
Dorm Life Before University
A few days had passed since the four rivals moved into the dorm. Classes wouldn’t start for a few more days, but Huaxing University never rested.
The dorm was already full of life. Morning sunlight spilled through the tall windows, lighting up the spacious living room and kitchen.
Kai Liang
(in his room, stretching)
Kai Liang
Just a few more stretches… the muscles have to be ready.
Min Jae
(in the living room, tossing a tennis ball)
Min Jae
can’t believe he’s so meticulous. Always warming up.
Aya was in the kitchen, brewing coffee while keeping one eye on the living room. Yue was at the balcony, quietly stretching her back and shoulders, notebook of strategies nearby.
Araya Thepparit
(grinning, to Yue)
Araya Thepparit
You planning the perfect serve again?
Lin Yue
Someone has to. Unlike some people, I don’t just swing and hope.
A soft laugh from Min Jae echoed through the kitchen. Kai rolled his eyes from the doorway.
Aya decided today she would cook. A simple stir-fry, but enough to feed all four of them.
Araya Thepparit
(stirring the pan, muttering)
Araya Thepparit
If I wanted to cook for queens, I’d stay home.
Kai Liang
That smells… decent.
Min Jae
(sniffing, smirking)
Min Jae
Not bad for new money.
Lin Yue
(leaning against the counter, sipping water)
Lin Yue
Don’t let the compliments fool you. It’s edible, nothing more.
Even with light teasing, everyone quietly enjoyed the food. The dorm felt a little less like a battleground, a little more like… home.
