a short story about winter impulsively asking her roommate karina to pretend to be her wife for a weekend family gathering.

Kim Minjeong (Winter) just wanted to study, stay unnoticed, and survive her first day of school at Ae University. She didn't expect to catch the eye of Yu Jimin (Karina)-- the campus' untouchable queen. What begins as glances across the hallway turns into a slow, consuming obsession. And when Karina wants something, she doesn't ask. She takes. But someone-no, someTHING starts walking on Ae University's hallways.

Winter shows up to meet her bias. Karina shows up to work. But one unexpected moment of eye contact sends both into emotional chaos. After the event, Karina refuses to let the mystery girl slip away and asks her staff for Winter's contact-breaking every rule she's known.

They were told to focus only on debut. On perfection, on fame, on shining brighter than anyone else. But in the shadows of the practice room, something else grew- a secret Winter couldn't hide, and a feeling Karina wasn't supposed to return. Between jealousy, forbidden closeness, and the world watching their every move, one question remains: how far can love survive under the spotlight?

Karina doesn't date athletes. Especially not cocky ones. Winter's reputation as the school's golden girl-and the way she openly teases Karina in front of everyone-should make her the last person on earth Karina would fall for. But late-night practices, stolen glances, and one too many bets might push the cheer captain into dangerous territory: catching feelings.

When rising K-pop soloist idol Winter gets caught in a dating scandal with her K-pop idol friend jeno, her team hires Karina - a random stylist assistant - to pretend to be her girlfriend to "control the narrative." They can't stand each other at first, but pretending to be in love on camera feels... alarmingly real off camera too. Now fans are shipping them, the media's obsessed, and Winter might actually be catching feelings she shouldn't.

Moving in with three roommates was supposed to be fun. It wasn't. Karina swears she only wanted peace, quiet, and an organized closet. What she got instead: • A chaos gremlin named Ningning who eats her leftovers. • A "peacekeeper" Giselle who's somehow always late to peacekeeping. • And Winter - the most annoying, sarcastic, loud, messy, frustrating roommate ever... who also happens to look way too good in sweatpants at 3 a.m. Oh, and let's not forget the neighbors. ITZY lives right across the hall, and they've basically declared war. Between prank battles, rooftop arguments, and accidentally romantic moments, Karina's about to learn that love doesn't always knock politely. Sometimes, it barges into your apartment and eats the last bag of chips.

Karina is the idol everyone wants. Beautiful, talented, adored. On stage, she shines. Off stage... she's cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to please. Then comes Winter - her new bodyguard. Young, disciplined, trained to fight, and not easily shaken. The only problem? She's a girl. And Karina doesn't think a girl could ever protect her. But Winter is determined to prove her wrong. What happens when two icy hearts clash, and slowly start to melt? HIGHEST RANKINGS: #winrina 🥇 #karina 🥇 #jiminjeong 🥇 #yujimin 🥉
