13 parts Complete MatureSumin has reached low. The lowest any person could reach in life, the lowest level in depression anyone could get, the lowest level of darkness anyone could drift in. She hasn't been herself for years. She hasn't been living. And although she's accepted the pain and how miserable her life is meant to be, waiting for her time in this world to end at some point soon as she's given up on living, she hasn't been prepared for worse to come. Could there possibly been worse than what has already struck on her?
Yes. There could. When her ex decides to come back to town after four years of being away Sumin is pretty sure that has to be the worst part of her life. She feels helpless, lost and panics and for a while she thinks for the worst solution ever, only for Ryujin, her best friend to come up with a better idea to save her.
A plan. A fake girlfriend. University's most popular girl Park Sieun. A deal. Pretending, faking, acting, interacting, using, getting in trouble, blurrying lines and much more are about to happen cause of Ryujin's stupid plan, one of them being catching feelings too.
Maybe that was the worst plan Ryujin could think of after all. Or maybe both Sumin and Sieun owe Ryujin their whole lives cause what if that plan turns out to have saved their lives from the total misery and mess they were in? Read to find out more!
