Imagine a fuckboy, a popular and social person who's not at all tired of everything... now, that's the opposite of what Lisa would use to describe herself. Lisa struggles to deal with people and anything that involves people, which deep down made her believe that something is wrong with her. On September 4th, 2022, a rainy day, as Lisa prepares for the start of her last year of university, she crosses paths with a mysterious girl. From that day on, something in her will never... beat... quite the same way again. How different...? I guess she's about to find out...

𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚: Introvert, nervous lesbian who claims not to like people. Still has difficulty dealing with deep-seated feelings/fears from her past. Has intimacy issues, boundaries, so she hates when people invade her personal space.
𝐉𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞: Straight. Has a boyfriend and a side of her life that is unknown to most people. Her favourite hobby is to annoy Lisa, pushing those very boundaries she has. A bit too possessive for someone who only looks at her as a friend.
𝐑𝐨𝐬𝒆́: The most popular crazy girl in university, who adopted the most loner introvert there. Everyone wants her, and she enjoys the attention. Always goes on dates, but never dated or fell for anyone, or wants to.
𝐉𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐨: Jennie's best friend. Joker, intelligent geek. Couldn't care or show less interest in anyone romantically. Technology and video games are more interesting and trustworthy.
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, f-"
"Why do you always stop at four?"
"I like the number two and four is a multiple of the number 2,"
"Then why don't you just stop at two?"
"Because we have ten fingers,"
"So?"
"If I stop at 2, my count will stop in one round. It has to be two rounds."
"You're weird..."
"..."
"I like you, let's be friends!"
Lisa is someone who struggles with autism, which has deeply affected her ability to connect with others. Due to her condition, Lisa has never experienced the feeling of being loved, leaving her unable to trust anyone apart from herself.
At the age of 18, Lisa decided to leave her family and run away to Korea. Only her grandmother's personal assistant was aware of her plans and helped her leave. Lisa has remained under the radar for almost two years, avoiding building relationships with others.
However, everything changed when Lisa met Jennie, a social butterfly well-known for her beauty and friendly personality. Jennie has a harmonious family and a large group of friends, making it difficult for her to understand what it's like to be alone. She trusts others easily and believes that everyone has good intentions.
It was on Jennie's first day of college that she met Lisa, who was the complete opposite of her. Intrigued by Lisa's aloofness, Jennie decided to try to get her attention simply because Lisa was different from her other friends.
Will Jennie and Lisa be able to fill each other's shortcomings and form a meaningful relationship?
