Real or Cake?

Hong Eunchae's goal for junior year is simple: stay invisible. Headphones on, sketchbook out, zero interest in school drama. So when Nakamura Kazuha, the girl everyone adores, offers her $1000 to fake-date her and make her ex jealous, a quite confused Eunchae reluctantly says yes for one reason only: she needs the money.

But the deal stops feeling simple fast. Kazuha isn't just a spoiled rich girl, she's hiding cracks in her somewhat perfect life, and Eunchae keeps getting pulled into them. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to remember they're supposed to be pretending.

But Nakamura doesn't do real feelings, and Hong doesn't do getting hurt.

So what happens when fake dating stops feeling fake?
