Seventeen-year-old Han Jiho never expected a spilled drink to ruin his life—or maybe improve it? One accidental sip from Kang Minjae's bottle turns into the wildest rumor at Haewon High: Jiho and the school’s golden boy are secretly dating. But instead of denying it, Minjae leans in with a smirk and says, “Sure, why not?” Now Jiho is stuck in a fake relationship with his longtime crush. Between dodging classmates, managing his chaotic emotions, and trying not to die every time Minjae smiles like that, Jiho’s life becomes a whirlwind of confusion, awkward tension, and maybe… just maybe, something real. But love isn’t all cute glances and accidental kisses. Enter Hyunwoo—the school’s intimidating bully leader who seems way too interested in Jiho’s life lately. Harsh one second, almost soft the next, Hyunwoo’s attention is the kind Jiho doesn’t know what to do with. And in the shadows of it all stands Soobin, a mysterious figure from Hyunwoo’s past. Their history is raw, unresolved, and painful. Soobin left when Hyunwoo needed him most—and now he’s back, hoping for a second chance. But Hyunwoo is no longer the same boy he once knew. As Jiho’s light-hearted chaos unfolds with Minjae, Hyunwoo and Soobin’s story simmers with regret, anger, and a love that never really died. Because while some love stories are messy and cute… Others are the kind you survive. ---

Prey Amongst Predators

On the brink of death, Sol had expected nothing more than eternal peace from his lifelong suffering. But instead, fate dealt him an unexpected hand. The Melvires, a renowned family, rescued him that night, and his fate was rewritten. A man who called himself his father, along with the four sons who bore no resemblance to him, offered a life so far removed from his own, it felt like fiction. Ever since then, he had done everything in his power to make himself worthy of the life they gave him. Yet even as the years passed, some truths remained hard to ignore. The Melvires carried themselves with an elegance that seemed inborn, an air of distinction no effort could replicate. No matter how hard he tried, Sol always felt like an outsider trailing behind them–grateful, but never equal. Nevertheless, he dedicated himself to their service, believing loyalty was the least he could offer in return. But everything shattered the night he turned twenty when the veil was lifted. The Melvires finally revealed the sharp claws hidden behind their velvet gloves. Sol was nothing more than a sacrifice. The crown of their design. He fought hard to escape their reign of terror, but the more he resisted, the steeper the slope became. Every path forward was walled in inevitability. His spirit waned beneath the weight of isolation and betrayal, until all that remained was resignation. Perhaps this was simply the closing of a circle. If his life was the price for everything he had been given, then so be it. He opened his arms, ready to embrace death again, just as he had all those years ago. But what was with their sudden change in attitude? Why, after all the pain they had inflicted, did they now seem… wounded?
