This is a story about Pond a bio medical engineering student and Phuwin,a fine arts student. They had unpleasant meeting at first. The feelings started to grew longer days by days.
Their first meeting couldn't have gone worse - a spilled cup of paint on Pond's notes, a sharp comment, and a glare that could kill. From that moment, Phuwin decides that Pond is arrogant and impossible. Pond, on the other hand, convinces himself that Phuwin is dramatic and infuriating.
They both would've happily ignored each other forever.
But things take a turn when Pond's ex-girlfriend suddenly shows up on campus - laughing with someone new, looking happier than ever. Jealousy and pride twist inside him until, in a moment of panic, he blurts out a lie to save face:
> "I'm seeing someone."
And fate, with its cruel sense of humor, chooses that exact moment for Phuwin to walk by.
Now trapped in his own reckless scheme, Pond begs Phuwin to play along - just for a week, he promises. Against his better judgment, Phuwin agrees, partly to spite him, partly out of curiosity.
What starts as an awkward act soon grows complicated. The teasing glances turn into real smiles, fake dates start to feel like something more, and late-night study sessions blur the line between acting and honesty. Pond begins to see beyond Phuwin's guarded attitude - the warmth in his laugh, the gentleness in his art. And Phuwin starts to notice the real Pond, the one who hides his heart behind sarcasm and science.
But every lie has an expiration date.
When Phuwin learns that it all began as a game - that his feelings might have been built on a lie - the fragile connection between them breaks. Pond is left standing in the silence he created, realizing too late that the person he used to provoke just to get a reaction... has become the one person he truly wants to protect.
Now, he has to prove that what started as a lie has become something real - even if it means baring his heart completely.
