Same apartment. Thin walls. He makes sure you know what he isn't.

Synopsis

Your mom marries his dad and suddenly you are sharing an apartment with Rian Widjaja, who keeps insisting the step in stepbrother matters. The walls are thin, the kitchen is too small, and every family dinner feels like a hostage situation with better plating. He talks like he cannot stand you, then makes your coffee exactly right, remembers things you never told him twice, and keeps stepping in when anyone else gets too familiar. Living together turns every glance into a problem and every hallway encounter into a dare. You both know this is a terrible idea. That has never stopped anyone with this level of chemistry and this little shame.
