Darling Sterling has always lived quietly; buried in books, expectations, and a family name that feels heavier than it should. Socialising has never come easily, and neither has romance. She watches it happen to other people, wondering when - or if - it will ever be her turn. Unfortunately for her, her turn never seems to arrive. Jae Park is everything she isn't and wants to be. Confident. Effortlessly charming. A star athlete with a reputation that follows him through campus halls and whispered conversations. He knows people. He knows attraction. He knows exactly how to make others feel wanted. When Darling asks Jae for help navigating the world of dating and sex, it's meant to be simple - lessons, advice, nothing more. A straightforward way to build her crippling self-confidence. But the closer she gets, the more she realises he isn't just the version everyone sees; that she saw at first. And the more Jae watches Darling, the harder it becomes to pretend he's immune to her quiet gravity. ꒰ best rankings :: ꒱ #2 jock #2 teaching #1 mixedgirl #1 teachme #1 blackandasian
