Lee Hyeri has always had it all - beauty, brains, and the kind of cold untouchability that keeps everyone at a distance. Engaged to a powerful CEO and topping her class at Korea's most prestigious international university, her path seems flawless. Until the one person who ever truly challenged her - Chung Subin - returns.
Subin, her former academic rival and the only girl who ever threatened her perfect crown, steps back into her world without warning, dragging old resentments, sharp tensions, and dangerous new feelings with her.
What starts as a battle of pride soon twists into something far more volatile, as every collision between them leaves bruises - and sparks. In a world where reputation is everything and vulnerability is a risk neither can afford, Hyeri must confront the one thing she's spent her life mastering: control.
Because some rivals are meant to be conquered. And some are meant to be lost to.

Raincheck
What happens when the love you thought was pretend turns out to be the most real thing you've ever known? After the sapphic K-drama Friendly Rivalry skyrockets Lee Hyeri and Chung Subin to fame, the two leads become overnight icons-of chemistry, controversy, and everything unsaid. But behind the scenes, their closeness dissolves into silence, leaving fans wondering what really happened when the cameras stopped rolling. A year later, rumors erupt. Dispatch thinks Hyeri's back with her cheating ex. Subin is spotted in Florida with a mysterious companion. A fan-fueled conspiracy brews... and they're both caught in the storm. But when Hyeri makes a desperate call that leads to a drunken reunion, a glittery Orlando chapel, and a very real marriage certificate, the two women are forced to confront what they've been running from: the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other. As public pressure mounts, secrets resurface, and careers hang in the balance, Raincheck follows two women navigating love, identity, and the cost of staying silent in a world that only pretends to be watching fiction. This isn't just a story about falling in love. It's about choosing it-loudly. Messily. Irrevocably. And maybe, just maybe... asking for no more rainchecks. DISCLAIMER: This story is sprinkled with a dash of reality, a whole lot of "what if," and zero claims to actual truth. It's fan fiction, folks, aka imagination in overdrive. Any resemblance to real events or people is purely because our brains can't help but blur the lines sometimes. Read with your heart, not a fact-checker.Complete

Entangled in Rivalry
If someone had told Seulgi three months ago that she'd end up sharing a house with her mother's new fiancé and his daughter, she would've laughed. Or screamed. Or both. Now? Well-she's still screaming. But more internally. Mostly. "I swear to God, if you touch my skincare again, Jaeyi-" "Relax! I was just borrowing your toner. And serum. And... maybe the snail essence. Your pores look rich, I'm trying to invest." Seulgi clenched her jaw, gripping the bathroom doorframe like it personally betrayed her. "Your investment plan is going to end in hospital bills." Living under the same roof as Jaeyi was like signing up for emotional whiplash. One moment she was laughing at Jaeyi doing a ridiculous dance in the kitchen with a burnt pancake on her head; the next, she was staring too long when Jaeyi came home in a sundress that shouldn't be legal. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair. Because Jaeyi wasn't just annoying. Or pretty. Or funny in a way that made Seulgi want to punch a pillow. Jaeyi was her. The kind of chaos Seulgi never asked for but somehow couldn't stop orbiting around. "You're staring again," Jaeyi teased one evening, perched on the kitchen counter, eating grapes like a Greek goddess with no regard for personal space. "No, I'm regretting my life choices," Seulgi deadpanned, turning away, ears turning traitorously red. Jaeyi tilted her head. "Sure you are. Just like how you 'regretted' sitting next to me during movie night. Or how you 'regretted' holding my hand during that thunderstorm." "That was for safety," Seulgi snapped, grabbing a water bottle just to have something to hold that wasn't Jaeyi's smug face. "Oh? So if another thunderstorm happens, you'll hold someone else's hand?" Silence.Complete

Clocking in,Coming out.
Woo Seulgi, a recent college graduate from Sungeum University in Seoul, South Korea, is beautiful, charming, and cripplingly shy. Sungeum University, known for its strong programs in business and humanities, is where Seulgi excelled academically, though her social life remained a quiet affair. Having never had a boyfriend, she's a master of polite evasion, particularly when it comes to the endless stream of suitors she attracted during her university days. Her deeply religious family has instilled in her a politeness that often translates to a crippling inability to say "no," leading to private tears and unspoken struggles. Her first job is in the Finance Department of Aurora Innovations, a new chapter she approaches with a mix of trepidation and hope. In the same company, but in the vibrant Graphic Design Department, is Yoo Jaeyi. Jaeyi is Seulgi's antithesis: spontaneous, confident, and equally stunning. Privately queer herself, Jaeyi has long hidden her true identity, so when her gay best friend, Lee Junho, needed a cover, she readily agreed to a fake relationship. Their charade is convincing, but beneath the surface, it's a constant tightrope walk. When Seulgi and Jaeyi's paths cross at Aurora Innovations, their vastly different worlds collide. Seulgi finds herself drawn to Jaeyi's uninhibited spirit, a stark contrast to her own timid nature. Meanwhile, Jaeyi is unexpectedly captivated by Seulgi's quiet beauty and gentle demeanor. As they navigate the complexities of their new careers and the secrets they both carry, an undeniable connection begins to form, challenging Seulgi's politeness and Jaeyi's carefully constructed pretense. Can these two seemingly opposite women find genuine connection amidst their professional lives and personal dilemmas in the bustling city of Seoul?Complete
