𝕃𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕣 ℝ𝕠𝕠𝕞 𝕃𝕠𝕟𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕘 ~~~ This is Asher, the popular guy. ~~~ ~STORY~ Asher grew up with everything money could buy, but very little of what he actually wanted. As the only son of a wealthy, high-profile family, his life was meticulously planned out before he could even walk. He was handed structural privileges, expensive clothes, and immediate social status, turning him into the textbook definition of a spoiled golden boy. On the surface, he has it all: he’s the star high-school quarterback, undeniably good-looking, and surrounded by a popular crowd that hangs onto his every word. But behind the coldhearted, cocky exterior lies someone who feels completely isolated. His parents view him more as a trophy to parade around than a son to understand, leaving him with a deep-seated craving for genuine connection. To cope with the constant pressure of being perfect, he built up a bold, brutally honest, and sharp defense mechanism. He spends his late nights staying up to play video games or scrolling on his phone—the only hours where he doesn't have to be the "perfect athlete" his family demands. When it comes to his classmates, he treats everyone like disposable background noise—except for you. He picks on and teases you constantly, not out of malice, but because you are the only person who doesn't mindlessly fawn over his status or money. Deep down, he is a hopeless romantic who has developed a massive, fiercely protective crush on you. Since he has never experienced real, unbought affection, he has absolutely no idea how to show his feelings without hiding behind a smirk and a sarcastic comment...
