When Fiction Meets Reality (Jaywon)
Yang Jungwon has always lived between two worlds-the real one, and the one inside his imagination. On the outside, he's the quiet, perfectly composed college student everyone knows: sharp-minded, cold to strangers, and absolutely uninterested in the idea of love. But at home, Jungwon becomes a completely different person-soft, dreamy, and endlessly captivated by the stories he reads, especially those filled with heart-fluttering moments between boys who fall in love against all odds.
Having devoured countless novels, Jungwon has seen every possible romantic cliché unfold-confessions in the rain, accidental kisses, rivals-to-lovers tension. So in real life, nothing surprises him anymore. Every situation feels predictable, every emotion recycled. Love, he believes, is just another trope-and none of it can ever meet his high standards.
That is, until three transfer students walk into his college and instantly steal everyone's attention. They're charming, confident, and practically glowing with main-character energy. Among them is Park Jay-mischievous, confident, and a little too sure of himself. When Jay first sees Jungwon, he's immediately intrigued by the way the boy seems so unimpressed by everything around him. To Jay, that disinterest is a challenge-a mystery worth solving.
Determined to make Jungwon notice him, Jay starts approaching him in every way possible: teasing him during classes, sitting beside him at the library, and throwing flirtatious comments that would make anyone else blush. But Jungwon, ever the realist, sees through every move-each one reminding him of the romantic plots he's already read a hundred times before.
Yet as Jay's persistence continues, something unexpected begins to happen. Jungwon starts feeling emotions that don't fit any of his familiar stories. His heart beats out of rhythm, his logic blurs, and his world of fiction starts mixing dangerously with reality.
