Historians will say they were just roomates

When Mok suggests pretending to date his roommate, Kai thinks it's a bad joke.

Mok is still stuck on his ex. Seeing him move on so easily feels like a slap he never got over. Kai, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to be left alone. He has his own reasons for keeping distance, his own past he doesn't talk about, and a professor who refuses to disappear from his life.

They aren't close. They barely talk. Which is exactly why the plan should work.

A fake relationship to make one ex regret leaving, and another stop interfering. Simple. Foolproof.

Except sharing a dorm makes pretending harder than expected. Late nights turn quiet. Apologies turn honest. And Kai starts noticing something he isn't used to-someone who asks, but never forces.

What happens when the act feels safer than the truth?
And when one of them starts wanting this to be real?
