They're ranked #1 and #2 in the department, but the numbers don't explain the hatred. Winter worked for her spot. Every grade came from sacrifice-missed parties, no sleep, constant pressure to be perfect because failure was never an option. Professors praise her discipline, but they also expect it. From her, excellence is mandatory. Karina didn't have to bleed for it the same way. She understands the material quickly. She speaks confidently in class, challenges professors, bends rules and somehow gets away with it. People assume she's just "naturally smart," that it comes easy. Winter hates her for that. Not because Karina is effortless - but because everyone treats Winter's effort like it's worth less than Karina's ease. Karina hates Winter too. Not because Winter is rigid - but because Winter looks at her like she doesn't deserve her place. Like she cheated the system by not suffering enough. They don't argue loudly. They don't sabotage each other in obvious ways. Their hatred is quiet, academic, cutting.

Minjeong's ex-boyfriend is getting married, and she'd rather swallow glass than show up alone. Enter Yu Jimin: her brother's best friend and the woman who has been teasing Minjeong since she was ten years old. Jimin agrees to be her fake girlfriend for the weekend, but she has conditions. There's a lot of hand-holding, way too much "baby-ing" in front of the guests, and they're forced to share a bed at the hotel. It was supposed to be a performance, so why is Minjeong's heart doing backflips every time Jimin looks at her?

Karina has always been like this. Even as a kid. Too charming. Too easy with people. Winter followed her everywhere back then. She still does now. They grew up together. Same neighborhood. Same schools. Shared beds during sleepovers because neither of them wanted to sleep alone. Winter fell in love somewhere in between. She never said it out loud. She never stopped. Karina never belonged to anyone. She flirted without meaning to. Smiled like it didn't matter. Winter noticed. She always noticed. Now they're adults. Roommates. Best friends. Karina comes home late most nights. Talking about clubs. About girls and guys whose names Winter pretends not to remember. "It wasn't serious," Karina always says. She doesn't do relationships. She never has. She's loved Karina for years without asking for anything back. Karina trusts her completely. Assumes Winter will always stay. This is a slow-burn story about loving someone quietly, choosing someone out loud, and learning that staying-when done right-isn't a sacrifice. It's a choice.

𝜗𝜚 Yu Karina [ G!P ] x Kim Minjeong 𝜗𝜚 Karina Yoo is invisible. A bullied nobody with sharp brains, soft eyes, and zero friends-except for the pages of her textbooks. Life is quiet, cruel, and safe. Until Minjeong Kim crashes in. Minjeong is everything Karina isn't-loud, viral, bratty, and completely untouchable. With 45.6 million TikTok followers and a closet full of designer chaos, she lives for the spotlight. But when her grades threaten her perfect image, she's forced into tutoring sessions with the one girl who's never liked her. Karina wants nothing to do with the influencer princess who made her high school life hell. But Minjeong? She's intrigued by the shy, sharp-tongued tutor who sees right through her filters.

Karina was already falling before Winter even looked her way. Winter builds walls faster than she lets people in. They say love is about meeting halfway but what if one of you runs, and the other walks? A slow, messy love story about patience, timing, and finding each other at the right speed. (All chapters will be read from Jimin's pov, but in some chapters you happen to read from Minjeong's pov.)

Winter didn't plan on standing out at Sangwon Academy. After being forced to transfer because of a secret she'd rather bury, she just wants to keep her head down, reconnect with her childhood bestie Ningning, and maybe make it through the semester without drama. But drama finds her anyway-in the form of Yu Jimin, better known as Karina. Rich, flawless, terrifyingly popular, and infuriatingly smug, Karina has ruled the school since day one. She pushes people's buttons for sport, and Winter? She refuses to be anyone's plaything. The whole campus watches as the Ice Queen and the new girl turn every hallway into a battlefield. Yet beneath the rivalry is a heat neither of them can control, and the question everyone is asking: will they tear each other apart... or finally give in?

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.

When shy, brilliant analyst, Kim Minjeong is pushed to finally step out from behind her walls, she catches the eye of a powerful CEO - a woman who seems far too intrigued by Minjeong's quiet competence and unexpected boldness. What begins as a routine contract quickly spirals into something far more personal, pulling Minjeong into a tense dance of ambition, desire, and dangerously tangled power. Winter g!p

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.

3 years ago, Jimin made it big. Minjeong didn't. Now Jimin's recording her solo debut - every lyric written by a stranger with a name she doesn't know. Except it's not a stranger. It's "Winter". And every word burns.
