Tutoring my Rival Boy

Tutoring My Rival Boy takes the enemies-to-lovers trope and drops it into the pressure cooker of a private school hierarchy. Chris is already on shaky ground as a scholarship student trying to survive—begging for tuition extensions, dodging bullies—so when he's forced to tutor Lucien, the wealthy classmate he just caught trying to seduce a teacher, the setup feels less like a choice and more like a trap. The tension isn't just about their mutual dislike; it's about power. Lucien holds Chris's future in his hands, and after discovering the sketches hidden under Chris's pillow, he holds a personal secret too. What makes this short drama work is how quickly the dynamic shifts from hostile to something far more complicated. When Lucien unexpectedly steps in to defend Chris from a group of tormentors, the lines start to blur. Chris has to keep his enemies close, but the closer Lucien gets, the harder it is to remember why he was supposed to stay away—especially when every stolen glance makes him wonder if staying away was ever what he really wanted.
