​Janhae and Jingjing are the top two graduate students in the Economics department. They are both brilliant, fiercely competitive, and absolutely loathe each other. For two years, they have fought a bitter war of attrition over top grades, research grants, and professors' favors. ​Now, there is only one prize left: the highly coveted, career-making Oxford-LSE dual degree fellowship. There is only one spot. ​When a late-night argument in the library boils over into a terrifyingly charged physical confrontation, they realize that their mutual hatred is masking a suffocating, undeniable attraction. Unwilling to back down, they make a reckless, high-stakes bet to settle the score once and for all : ​The first person to kiss the other on the lips loses and must formally withdraw their Oxford nomination. ​The catch? Everything else is permitted. ​What starts as a game to break the other's focus quickly spirals into absolute psychological and physical warfare. Touching under the table during seminars. Pushing each other against the library stacks. Bruised necks, whispered taunts, and weaponized jealousy at department parties. They are pushing the boundaries of the rules, determined to drive each other insane until someone finally snaps. ​But as the deadlines approach and the physical encounters blur the line between rivalry and desperate yearning, Jingjing and Janhae are both forced to ask themselves a terrifying question: what happens when the girl you're trying to destroy becomes the only thing you actually want to win?
