❝ You think I wanted this to happen? You think I, of all people, wanted to fall in love with you? ❞ Kang Seoyun (you) is a hardworking student with a long-term crush on Park Sunghoon. When Sim Jaeyun (Jake), Daeyang University's cocky star soccer player, begs her to tutor him to save his grades and his spot on the team, he offers to help her get closer to Sunghoon and some experience in return... What starts as a reluctant deal turns into undeniable chemistry, leaving Seoyun torn between the boy she's always wanted and the one she never expected. Enemies to lovers trope.

Y/n, fresh from a messy breakup and academic burnout, escapes to her grandmother's seaside town for the summer, planning to work at her uncle's fruit stand, avoid people, and finally write her thesis. Enter Jake Sim - effortlessly charming, flirty, and annoyingly shirtless. He's working at the watermelon farm next door for the summer after getting suspended from college for a fight he won't talk about. He's the type of boy your mom warns you about. She's the girl who stopped believing in love. Their first meeting ends with watermelon juice spilled all over her white shirt. Their second ends with him calling her "ice queen." Their third? Well... there might've been tongue.

Behind the radiant lights of the stage and the perfect smile of Y/n, the lead center of the globally renowned K-pop group Lumina, lies a haunting past she'd buried deep. As a child, Y/n endured a disturbing and painful upbringing-marked by abandonment, manipulation, and shadows she never dared to name. Through sheer determination, talent, and a burning desire to rewrite her story, she rose above the darkness and transformed into a beloved idol adored by millions. Now living the life others envy-fame, beauty, and a future full of endless possibilities-Y/n begins to feel the warmth of genuine friendships and even the stirrings of love in someone who sees beyond the spotlight. For the first time, her heart feels safe. But the past is never truly gone. When familiar faces begin to appear in the crowd, and anonymous messages start reminding her of things she fought to forget, Y/n is forced to confront the terrifying reality: the people she escaped from have returned-and they want something. Her fame makes her untouchable to many, but not to them. As her two worlds threaten to collide, Y/n must decide-will she keep hiding behind the idol mask, or will she fight for the life and love she's only just begun to believe she deserves? "Even the brightest stars cast the darkest shadows." Warnings: smut, alcohol mentioned, killings, swearing, blackmail. start: June 22 2025 end: ?

Welcome to Moan. Where your desires come to life through words alone. No faces. No filters. Just pure imagination. Y/n has been too timid to express her wants and needs. Dating apps always lead to meeting and it never helps. With the app Moan she gets to talk out her fantasies without the pressure of ever having to meet face to face.

He was her nightmare. Until he became the one she couldn't stop dreaming about. Jake Sim is rich, ruthless, and dangerously charming-the kind of boy your parents warn you about. At Crestview University, he's untouchable. Alongside his equally toxic trio-Heeseung, Jay, and Sunghoon-he parties hard, rides faster, and ruins hearts without a second thought. Y/n? She's the outlier. Quiet, book-smart, and completely uninterested in Jake's ego-or his games. Which makes her his favorite target. He teases her mercilessly. Pulls her close just to push her away. He likes watching her squirm beneath his gaze, flinch at his taunts, falter when he invades her space. But when a moment of weakness turns into a kiss she should've never allowed, everything spirals. Now his teasing feels different-his hands linger, his eyes darken, and his mouth whispers things she can't un-hear. Rough kisses behind locked doors. Late-night rides on his motorcycle. A bedroom no one's supposed to see. Jake wants her-but refuses to admit it. So he touches without meaning to care. And she keeps falling... even when it hurts. Her friends-Jungwon, Sunoo, and Niki-see the warning signs. But it's hard to walk away when the boy you hate is the only one who can make you feel this alive. He's cruel. She's stubborn. But in the dark... they both break. And once the games start, it's only a matter of time before someone gets burned.
