The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια Odýsseia] in Classical Attic) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature; the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed Odysseus has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres (Greek: Μνηστῆρες) or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.

Wonwoo never expected to see Mingyu again after middle school, not when their rivalry had defined so much of his life back then. But now, in college, Mingyu is suddenly back, just as competitive, just as infuriating, and somehow even harder to ignore. What starts as the same old back-and-forth begins to shift in ways neither of them are ready to admit, blurring the line between rivalry and something much more complicated. Around them, their friends are caught up in their own stories of love and missteps, turning campus life into a tangle of banter, tension, and the kind of connections that change everything.

Wen Junhui has lived in Korea for over a decade, first as a student, now as a quiet, reliable employee at a tech firm. Life is steady, if a little unremarkable. Xu Minghao, his bright, artistic, slightly chaotic co-worker, arrived in Seoul two years ago chasing his creative ambitions. Now, with his visa about to expire and no clear path forward, Minghao finds himself untethered, unsure where to land next. A chance discovery of an apartment advertisement offering heavy discounts for married couples presents an unexpected solution. Jun jokes about how ridiculous it is, until Minghao confesses his visa troubles. In a moment of quiet understanding, they realize their separate problems might be solved by the same plan. They agree to a fake marriage, Minghao gets his residency, Jun gets his dream apartment at a lower price, and they split the costs. It's meant to be a practical, business-like arrangement. No feelings, no complications. But the more time they spend together navigating immigration interviews, decorating their shared home, and answering curious questions from nosy co-workers, the blurrier the lines between pretending and feeling become. Little routines turn into quiet comforts. Shared spaces become safe places. And hearts that were once adrift begin to find steady ground, in each other. In a city full of temporary stays and uncertain futures, sometimes it's the things you never planned for that feel most like home.
