There's a red string between them-thin, taut, and choking. At Jooshin High, where power wears a tailored uniform and secrets move in shadows, Jung Jiwoong and Lee Woojin stand at the top. The perfect best friends: untouchable, inseparable, and always just close enough to silence suspicion. But behind the elegant smiles and matching footsteps is something darker-twisted affection dressed in denial, a connection too deep to be pure. Jiwoong has never said it out loud. He doesn't have to. Woojin knows-he always has. Because Jiwoong's love is the kind that grips too tight. And Woojin? He's never really tried to pull away. In a world where emotions are currency and weakness is blood in the water, they'll call it friendship. But it's not. It never was.

𝒥ang Eun-yeo was never a problematic child. Good grades, a strong will and a matching polite smile were what most defined her. So now you may wonder, how does someone like this end up in a situation as bad as this? Well, the answer is quite simple, actually. Or at least more simple than you might think! After being constantly overlooked by her parents, she decided she had enough. Moving in with her friend at the young age of 15, she finally found peace. But time passed, prices raised and after two more years, money was low. Her friend long moved out and got to college, leaving the poor girl alone. So what do you think happens when a man in a suit offers her to play a game... having her pick red in the end? And what would happen... if she turns out to hate her job, helping the ones who picked blue instead? 𝒲ell, let's just say the Frontman wasn't amused. But he definitely put a liking to her, so killing her would be too harsh. Instead he decided she could simply... play for her life. --- --- SMALL PARTS OF SEASON ONE, A LOT OF OWM IDEAS THAT AREN'T CONNECTED TO THE SHOW, SEASON TWO AND LATER SEASON THREE ⚠️ --- --- ⚠️ LOVE TRIANGLE ! - 𝓜yung-Gi x 𝒪𝒞 x 𝒥un-hee
