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.

OMG! I really like this!!!!! It's interesting and Engaging. Chemistry between Jiho and minjae is really cute. How Minjae always teases him really make my day.
This story has my whole heart[img=Loving it]. Jiho and Minjae’s slow-burn romance is so soft and healing, it makes me tear up every time. And don’t even get me started on Soobin and Hyunwoo—the tension, the unresolved feelings, the pain they’re both hiding... it’s so raw and real. I love how every character feels layered, flawed, and deeply human. Can’t wait for the next emotional rollercoaster! Also, this author knows how to balance romance, drama, and fluff with perfect timing.[img=recommend]
