Black Ties and White Lies

At Haneul Elite University, reputations were everything.

Kim Jongin had the kind that made people lower their voices when he walked by.

Chaebol heir. Campus favorite. The boy everyone wanted.
And the one no one dared ask about too closely.

Do Kyungsoo wanted nothing to do with him.

Yet between business classes, student events, late-night project meetings, and a rivalry neither of them could explain, avoiding each other became impossible.

What started as stolen glances and sharp words slowly turned into something Jongin never meant to feel.

Because the more he tried to ignore Do Kyungsoo, the more he found himself drawn to him.

And on a campus full of black ties and white lies, some secrets were meant to stay hidden.

Especially the ones that could ruin them both.
