College life was supposed to be a fresh start for Han Jisung, but when his ex-boyfriend, Lee Minho, unexpectedly transfers to his school, old wounds resurface. Two years ago, Han broke up with Minho, fearing the dangerous ties to Minho's mafia family. Now, Minho's return forces Han to confront the past he thought he left behind. Their reunion is anything but easy as unresolved feelings and hidden secrets stir up tension between them.
Unknown to both Han and Minho, their lives have been carefully watched. Hyunjin, one of the most popular boys on campus and a seemingly carefree student, hides a dangerous secret: he works for Minho's father. His task? To keep an eye on Minho and ensure Han stays out of the picture-orders given by Minho's father, who never approved of their relationship. But there's more to Hyunjin's mission than meets the eye, and a deeper conspiracy looms.
Meanwhile, Felix, Minho's quiet yet charming friend, carries a secret of his own-he's Minho's estranged brother, Yongbok. Unbeknownst to everyone, not even their closest friends, Felix and Minho keep their relationship hidden, as Minho wants to protect Felix from their father's clutches. Hyunjin, however, has been given another task by Minho's father: to find and keep an eye on Yongbok. And Hyunjin, without realizing, is closer to his target than anyone thinks.
As secrets begin to unravel, Han, Minho, and their friends are pulled deeper into a world of danger, betrayal, and love. With past relationships, family ties, and loyalties at stake, will they be able to face the truth before it's too late?
Fated Rivalries is a gripping tale of love, deception, and the bonds that are tested when secrets come to light.
