Roommate

At an elite boarding school, Noah is determined to earn the prestigious "Scholar," a mark of excellence. However, his biggest challenge is his roommate, Kai, a troublemaker who sneaks out of the dorm every night. One day, an unexpected bond forms between them after they care for an injured bird together. From then on, the often-absent Kai starts attending classes regularly. "Could it be that I’m the one who’s changed him?" Noah wonders, his envy and admiration for Kai slowly transforming into something deeper—feelings of love.
