It all started when Eunjoo steals a kiss from a handsome stranger in the mall. It got viral and soon he confronted her in the payment of pretending to date. Will they keep pretending it's fake? Or will it grow to something real?

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.

"I could've handled anyone-but you? Anyone but you, Jay Park." Park Jay's peaceful coffee run takes an unexpected turn when he steps in to help Sophia Carter fend off a group of perverts. What follows is a night of impulsive decisions, fiery banter, and a connection neither of them can explain-or forget. But when they're forced to fake a relationship at a destination wedding, their animosity gives way to something much more dangerous: real feelings. Can Jay and Sophia survive the weekend without killing each other-or will they realize that love might have been staring them in the face all along?

He's younger. He's my brother's friend. And he looks at me as if rules don't exist.

What starts as a game to maintain a facade soon evolves into something much more complex and emotional. As Stella and Heeseung navigate unexpected moments in the city of love, they are forced to confront their true feelings for each other. But can they separate what is real from what is just part of the game? This story is a part of @starrybias short story contest 2025 with the trope "to score a free hotel upgrade, they pretend to be newlyweds. The problem? They might be too good at faking it." A short story, 6800+ words.

"One day, you will be mine." In high school, Heeseung was Ivy's worst nightmare. He was the golden boy, a basketball god, and her personal hell. Years later, he's traded varsity courts for the pro league and gained a reputation as basketball's most notorious playboy. Ivy, meanwhile, is still trying to figure out what she wants from her life when her father offers her a job she can't refuse as his assistant. Now she's face-to-face with the boy who once made her life miserable. And any hope that he doesn't remember her is shattered on their first meeting. "Go to hell." "Only if you say please, Poison."

Yuri said she doesn't do repeats. He said he wouldn't catch feelings. But after one filthy night, they both keep coming back for more. It's not love. It's not even obsession. It's a fetish. She's not shy about what she wants and she's not afraid to say it with her legs spread and her lipstick smeared. Heeseung's addicted to the way she talks, the way she takes control even when he's the one fucking her breathless. "You got a fetish for my love... Push you out, you come right back." Now he's texting at 2 a.m. and she's already halfway out of her clothes. She said she doesn't normally do this and it was always meant to end. But when he makes his way into her friend group "by total accident" she has to decipher what he is trying to do. Is all of it a coincidence or has he caught feelings? **This is a short story**

Sunghoon Park is the worst. He is constantly finding ways to irritate me. We don't even compete against each other, what is his problem? When a fierce arguement on the ice between us goes viral, our team gets a lucrative sponsorship-on one condition: that Sunghoon and I pair up as ambassadors for their company. Which means learning to skate in a pair, something I have never done. And attending their events as a couple. I like to think I am a good actress, but this is pushing it. The more time I spend with the Ice Prince, though, the more I see a different side. A hotter side. God help me, I need to focus. I want to go to the Olympics before I am too old. It's bad enough I have to do the pairs and keep up my solo skate, I don't need his kind of distraction.
