My Childhood‑Sweetheart Pushed Me to His Rival

The Story

Claire’s quiet devotion to childhood neighbor Miles, the hockey captain who sees her only as a friend, shatters when a team bet triggers a new connection. Miles agrees to her plan to distract rival star Finn, but Claire finds herself drawn to his blunt, protective nature instead. Finn, who has watched her closely since film class, falls for her quickly, while roommate Hannah stirs up trouble. When Miles suddenly wants Claire back, she realizes she has settled for scraps. She walks away from him, and Finn, who never needed years to understand his feelings, steps forward to meet her halfway.
