After everything ended on that bridge, no one expected it to be where things would begin again. Jaeyi's sudden disappearance left a scar that time couldn't heal, especially for Seulgi, who carries a single photo and a thousand unanswered questions. But when university life brings familiar faces and past wounds back to the surface, the bridge that once meant goodbye becomes the only place that feels like home.

In a story of healing, reconnection, and unspoken truths, four lives cross paths once more, not by chance, but by something deeper. Maybe fate. Maybe choice. Or maybe just the courage to begin again.

Welcome to Our Starting Point,
Sometimes, the place that broke you is the only place you can rebuild.


❗This story will be like a season 2 of Friendly Rivalry. This is purely an imagination of mine.

Entangled in Rivalry by bimbo296

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.

Seulgi was breathless, her chest rising and falling in rapid bursts. Her thoughts were messy, confused, and desperate to make sense of something that couldn't be. But her body didn't care about sense. "I hate you," she whispered. It was the only thing that made it to her lips, the only defense she had left. But even that felt empty, dissolving the second Jaeyi kissed her again rougher, needier, like she already knew she'd won. "Unnie... Yeri and Kyung are right there," Seulgi panted, voice trembling. "Then be quiet," Jaeyi murmured against her ear. "Or maybe don't." Seulgi whimpered, her fingers curling into Jaeyi's coat, dragging her closer when she should've pushed away. Her mind screamed wrong, but her body had already betrayed her, melting into Jaeyi's touch, her warmth, her scent. Jaeyi's hands slid down her back, pulling her into the heat of her body, and Seulgi shivered at the intensity of it-of her, of them. The want that unfolded through her was terrifying, it was consuming. She stopped fighting. She didn't want to fight anymore. That moment marked the beginning of something neither of them could take back. A forbidden thing, whispered between locked doors and lingering stares, a secret cousins don't share. But they did. And now, every glance burned, every brush of fingers carried weight. Guilt tangled with longing. Shame with desire. They told themselves they could stop. That they would stop. But love like this doesn't stop quietly. And sooner or later, someone's going to find out. Will they choose each other in the end? Or will everything come crashing down? ______ Warning: This story is a work of fiction. It contains themes of forbidden romance and sexual content, which may be sensitive for some readers.

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?
