Sumin has reached low. The lowest any person could reach in life, the lowest level in depression anyone could get, the lowest level of darkness anyone could drift in. She hasn't been herself for years. She hasn't been living. And although she's accepted the pain and how miserable her life is meant to be, waiting for her time in this world to end at some point soon as she's given up on living, she hasn't been prepared for worse to come. Could there possibly been worse than what has already struck on her?

Yes. There could. When her ex decides to come back to town after four years of being away Sumin is pretty sure that has to be the worst part of her life. She feels helpless, lost and panics and for a while she thinks for the worst solution ever, only for Ryujin, her best friend to come up with a better idea to save her. 

A plan. A fake girlfriend. University's most popular girl Park Sieun. A deal. Pretending, faking, acting, interacting, using, getting in trouble, blurrying lines and much more are about to happen cause of Ryujin's stupid plan, one of them being catching feelings too. 

Maybe that was the worst plan Ryujin could think of after all. Or maybe both Sumin and Sieun owe Ryujin their whole lives cause what if that plan turns out to have saved their lives from the total misery and mess they were in? Read to find out more!

UNWANTED

100 parts Complete

💔 Unwanted Lisa Manoban was born into the richest and most powerful family in Thailand. Her father, Anurak Manoban, a Thai business tycoon, and her mother, Kim Soojin, a Korean heiress, built an empire that ruled every industry-oil, hotels, automobiles, entertainment, stocks, and beyond. Her elder sister, Chaeyoung Manoban, and elder brother, Bambam Manoban, were admired everywhere they went, treated like royalty. To the world, the Manoban family was untouchable. But to little Lisa, it was all empty. She would run with tiny feet to her father, pulling his hand: > "Dada... pway wif me, pwease..." And his cold voice would push her away: "Go away, Lisa. You are not important." She would tug at her sister's dress, eyes shining: > "Unnie... Lisa sit wif you?" But Chaeyoung would shove her off with disgust: "Don't call me unnie. You're not my sister." She would hug her toy and look at Bambam: > "Oppa... pway toy wif Lisa?" But he would glare and snap: "Don't bother me, Lisa. You mean nothing here." And her mother? She never even looked at her. Just silence. In a palace filled with gold, cars, and diamonds, Lisa had no love-no mama hugs, no dada kisses, no sister, no brother. Just loneliness. At night, clutching her small hands, she whispered to the sky: > "God... why nobody want Lisa? Why Lisa unwanted... even by her own famiwy?" And in this whole cruel world... did Lisa have anyone who truly wanted her in their life? ---
