Dare to Desire의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 5

(Attraction/Admission)Ethan Vale didn’t do parties.He did case law, 4.0 GPAs, and the kind of silence that made people nervous. At Crestwood University, he was Ace—untouchable, unreadable, the glacier of the law faculty who could dismantle an argument before breakfast and never let anyone see the cracks.Tonight, the cracks were threatening to show.Mara had blackmailed him with the threat of burning his annotated torts binder. The binder was sacred. Two semesters of color-coded notes lived inside it, along with the fragile remains of Ethan’s sanity.So here he was.Back pressed against the sticky kitchen counter of the soccer house, flat soda in hand, pretending the thumping bass wasn’t vibrating through his ribs.The place smelled like cheap beer, sweat, and something sugary that had probably been spilled hours ago and forgotten.

The scandal spread across Crestwood overnight.By morning, everyone seemed to know. The whispers started softly in the hallways, barely audible at first, then quickly escalated into full conversations. Lockers slammed, voices hushed, and heads turned whenever Noah Reyes or Ethan Vale passed by.The news traveled faster than wildfire, carried by screenshots and rumors that leapt from phone to phone, each retelling a little more exaggerated than the last.Students scrolled frantically through their social feeds, reading and sharing the posts. Noah and Ethan were trending on every campus page. Comments ranged from shocked to mocking, supportive to cruel, each one feeding the storm. It was everywhere at once.In classrooms, students exchanged glances, some trying to act normal, others unable to hide the smirks or frowns that betrayed their curiosity.Ethan sat outside the law building, hunched over his phone. His fingers swiped automatically, scrolling through the endless notifications t
