Rental Girlfriend [COMPLETED]

By day, Chloe is just your average nerdy girl-quiet, awkward, probably choosing books over people.
By free time and holidays? She becomes a Rental Girlfriend, clocking in smiles, sweetness, and professionalism like it's part of her syllabus.

Chloe takes her job seriously. Rules are rules, boundaries are boundaries-no feelings, no drama, no breaking Rule Number Seven. Easy... or so she thought.

Then she meets Khio-a grumpy, cold, low-energy guy who somehow becomes her client. Instead of falling for her perfect "girlfriend act," he slowly pulls out the real Chloe-the unfiltered, awkward, and very human version she never planned to show.

As their pretend relationship gets a little too real, Chloe uncovers Khio's painful past and realizes something terrifying:
their lives mirror each other in ways she never expected.

But there's a problem.
Khio is still in love with his first love.

So now Chloe has a choice:
Follow the rules, stay professional, and protect her heart...
or break Rule Number Seven and fall for the one guy she was never supposed to love.

Because pretending is easy-
until your heart stops playing along.
