𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 - they've been enemies since high school, but fate has collided their worlds again. She's a top model: ambitious, untouchable, ruthless. He's an F1 star: unbeatable on the track, but haunted by panic attacks and past mistakes. One month. One deal. He'll be her fake boyfriend to protect her image. She'll help him survive the panic that has ruled his life. A dangerous attraction ignites-one that could destroy their carefully built careers, their reputations, and everything they've fought for. ✦ "𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚?"she hissed, throwing her hands up."𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆?"

Rage, desire, and something darker twisted inside her. She should have pushed him away. She should have left. But she didn't. He leaned dangerously close, voice low and fierce.

One where hearts are harder to protect than trophies. In this love game... who will risk everything for the final win? ✦ ─────────── ✦

The mirror reflected her flushed skin and slightly swollen lips-thankfully, no hickeys. "Phew! No hickeys, thank God," she sighed in relief. But the deep chuckle behind her sent a chill down her spine. "The wild one last night wasn't me, babygirl." Frozen in place, she turned sharply-only to be met with Heeseung, fresh out of the shower, a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips. Droplets of water clung to his toned abs, his damp hair falling over his forehead as he smirked at her reaction.

You don't get to look at me like that anymore❞ After ghosting her childhood best friend for six years, she returns to Seoul only to find Lee Heeseung exactly where she left him - except now he has a girlfriend, and she has to figure out why being near him again feels less like coming home and more like falling.
