Y/N has a secret. Each week, she posts a smutty webcomic inspired by her longtime crush, Heeseung. But she can never let him find out. Because her and her best friend, Sohyun, have a pact. Neither is to do anything about their crush on him in order to stay friends. After an altercation at karaoke with Sohyun's brother, Sunghoon, he ends up with her phone. And now he has read the comic and she has to figure out a way to keep him from spilling. Lucky for her, he has some ideas.

Meet Park Jiyoo, the only girl in a squad of five siblings, and the undisputed princess of her four overprotective brothers. With their dad out of the picture, her brothers-especially Park Jay and Sunghoon-take their role as her protectors to heart. But life takes a wild turn when they move to a new neighborhood and Nishimura Riki shows up. This charming boy is smitten with Jiyoo, and her brothers are not having it! Can Riki win Jiyoo's heart without getting tackled by her overzealous brothers?

Lee Erin lives by one rule: don't fall in love. It's foolproof-until Nishimura Riki, her brother's insufferably charming best friend, makes it his mission to turn her quiet life into his personal comedy show. Stealing her snacks? Check. Teasing her at school? Daily. Smirking at her murder glares? Absolutely. For Ni-ki, annoying Erin is a sport, and her frustration is his trophy. When her meddling mom tries to set her up with the "perfect" but brooding son of a family friend, Erin makes a desperate move-fake-dating Ni-ki. He agrees, but of course, he doesn't make it easy. Between staged hand-holding and not-so-fake flirting, Erin finds herself laughing more than glaring. And Ni-ki? He might just be falling for the girl who swore she'd never fall for anyone. It started as a fake relationship, but is their love-hate dynamic turning into something dangerously real? Or will Erin stick to her rule and break both their hearts?
