Beneath the Surface ( Asa and Chiquita )
Asa Enami, a shy and diligent scholarship student from Japan, never imagined that her journey at Seoul University would be anything more than a path to academic success. But when she meets Chiquita, a flirtatious, rich, and effortlessly charming Thai girl, things quickly spiral out of Asa's control. Chiquita, famous for her playful demeanor and her longstanding infatuation with the campus queen, Ahyeon, finds herself in an unexpected challenge: a bet to make Asa fall for her.
At first, Chiquita's intentions are clear-she's just following through on a wager to win Ahyeon's heart, using Asa as nothing more than a pawn in her game. But as the two spend more time together, the lines between friendship and something deeper blur. Asa, oblivious to Chiquita's true motives, begins to enjoy their budding connection, unaware of the playful deception hiding beneath Chiquita's teasing exterior.
However, as Chiquita's feelings for Asa begin to evolve into something real, her relationship with Ahyeon becomes increasingly strained. Torn between the person she thought she wanted and the girl she never expected to fall for, Chiquita finds herself caught in a storm of emotions.
In Beneath the Surface, love is anything but simple. What happens when two people, each with their own emotional baggage and secrets, find themselves tangled in the delicate web of attraction and deception? The deeper they go, the harder it is to tell whether what they feel is real-or just another illusion waiting to be shattered.
Will Chiquita choose Asa or Ahyeon? Can Asa navigate her feelings without losing herself in the process? And when the truth finally comes to light, will their love be able to survive the storm?
A slow-burn romance filled with emotional twists, Beneath the Surface explores love, vulnerability, and the complexities of discovering your own heart while caught in someone else's game.
