Nicholas believed he looked too scary to befriend Euijoo, his classmate. He also once promised himself that he will save his first kiss for the right person. Euijoo was full of love, but he never expected to be loved more than the love he's been bearing all the time. Two boys, falling in love, like swans. They can't survive without each other. - This fic, at some point, includes references to some songs .

Nicholas's younger brother Maki falls for his classmate Harua, but Harua's older brother Euijoo does not allow him to date. Maki seeks his brother Nicholas's help to convince Harua's brother to let him date him.

"Euijoo meet your brother to be" Junseok tells his son. "Nicholas" Nicholas stares at him in pure horror. He couldn't believe this. What were the odds of this happening? . . . Inspired by the Taiwanese BL The Only One

Euijoo could not figure out what it was, but he always felt something around his older brother's best friend. Things change when years later they end up in the same college. --age gap trope

Nicholas was forced by his father to step up as the CEO. However, no secretary of his lasted more than 2 days, because Nicholas was an insufferable boss. That is until Euijoo, the younger brother of his sworn enemy Eunseok shows up to interview for a job opening at his company, and Nicholas found the perfect opportunity to get back at his enemy Eunseok, who stole his girlfriend years back.

If there is one person on earth who pisses EJ off by just existing, it's Nicholas. EJ absolutely hates his guts. He has hated him since years, when they were in acting school together. Years later they are signed under the same label and paired off as a bl ship in the industry. Surprisingly, their first drama is a hit, and they become a popular ship almost instantly. And now EJ is forced by the company to do fan service and more dramas with the guy he wants to strangle.

It's a silly little bet. Catching feelings? That's not gonna happen, at least not for Euijoo. He has nothing to worry about. He's gonna do his share of fanservice, tolerate this annoying man for the sake of his job, and also win this stupid bet by obviously not catching feelings through the 'acting as boyfriends' thing. Everything will be fine. He is going to win. And not only will he make sure to win, but also make Nicholas lose terribly.

Nicholas is the university's heartthrob. Everyone's type on campus. Everyone's, except Euijoo's who only thinks of him as his best friend. Nicholas is fed up with all the letters, messages, and calls he gets from girls desperately wanting to be with him. He hates the idea of commitment or relationships even the slightest bit. Every new confession only frustrates him more. So, to ease his frustration, he vents to his friend group consisting of Euijoo, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon. "Bro, you're everyone's type here. It's obvious people are going to fall for you," Heeseung comments as Nicholas groans in frustration. "Ugh, I hate this. I don't even like half the people who confess to me. I seriously need a permanent solution to this," Nicholas complains. "Dude, why don't you fake date someone? That'll show people you're actually committed," Sunghoon suggests. At that, Euijoo suddenly looks up from the book he'd been reading throughout the conversation. **All images belong to their respective owners. Credits to the rightful creators.**

Nicholas was supposed to marry Eunjin, Euijoo's little sister but she runs away before the wedding causing absolute chaos behind for the family, specially her brother.
