Four friends make a pact during their final semester: no dating, no drama, and absolutely no ruining the friend group. Naturally, two of them immediately start realizing they have feelings for each other. The problem isn't falling in love. It's deciding whether telling the truth could destroy the friendship they've had since childhood.

Ryujin has always thought Patji is beautiful in all the ways Patji doesn't notice-the sleepy smile he tries to hide, the way he nervously fidgets with his sleeves, the tiny crease between his eyebrows when he's concentrating, and the way his voice softens whenever he's happy. Patji, meanwhile, can't understand why Ryujin looks at him like he's something precious. One quiet evening, after Patji admits that he wishes he could change almost everything about himself, Ryujin finally tells him the truth: "Those are the things I fell in love with."

Ryujin spent years chasing someone he could never have. Patji spent years loving someone who would never truly see him. They laughed together, shared quiet moments, and stood close enough for the world to mistake them for lovers. But every smile Ryujin cherished belonged to someone else, and every piece of Patji's heart was given to a love that had already chosen a different ghost. When Patji finally decides to leave everything behind, Ryujin believes there will always be another chance. Until there isn't.

They were never supposed to fall in love. A prince and his bodyguard. A prince and his attendant. In a world where duty comes first, will they choose the crown... or each other?

Once, they were "Sunshine" and "Cookie". Now, they are simply Ryujin and Patji. Years after walking away from the love they thought would last forever, fate brings them back together. The feelings are still there, hidden beneath polite smiles and careful words. The hardest part isn't pretending they've moved on: it's resisting the urge to call each other by the names that once meant "home". Some titles are easy to forget. Others stay with you long after love is gone.

Ryujin has loved Pat since the day they met at a volunteer event during university. For five years, he stays by Pat's side through every season of life: heartbreaks, dreams, graduation, and the beginning of their careers. While Ryujin quietly falls deeper in love, Pat only sees him as the one person who will never leave. His closest friend. His safe place. But being someone's home is not the same as being their first choice. When Ryujin finally gathers the courage to confess, Pat doesn't reject him. He simply doesn't know how to love him the way Ryujin deserves. Sometimes, "maybe" hurts far more than "no."

Patji only made the fake account because he was bored and wanted to mess with Ryujin. The problem is, Ryujin is actually being nice to him and now Patji can't stop checking his phone. It was supposed to be a joke, but he's starting to like the attention way too much ~
