Summary
Felix and Hyunjin have been best friends since childhood - the kind who spent summers building blanket forts, winters trading hot cocoa recipes, and teenage years sharing secrets at 2 AM. Now in their mid-20s, they still live a few floors apart, swapping dinners, borrowing hoodies, and calling each other for the smallest things.

When Felix's ex unexpectedly comes back into town with a new partner, Hyunjin's easygoing charm takes a sharp turn into sulky jealousy. Not the possessive kind - just quiet, lingering looks, pouts he swears aren't pouts, and suddenly inserting himself into every conversation Felix has.

So when Felix needs a date for a family event, Hyunjin offers to play the part. It's supposed to be fake. A joke. A way to keep Eunwoo at bay. But the more they hold hands in public, sit a little too close on the couch, and blur the line between "pretend" and "what if," the harder it gets to remember why this was never real.
