She was always a hopeless romatic, so much so, that real guys never made her feel like the male Leads in her Dramas, so she decided to make herself an perfect Boyfriend. But what happens, when real life catches up to her, and a guy who isnt a k-drama prince at all makes her live life, will she be able too let the movielike moments go ?

Two strangers meet by chance. Together, they chase dreams, share quiet moments, and build a world that feels almost too perfect to lose. But life doesn't always follow the stories we hope for. As their paths begin to shift, they are faced with a choice: hold on to what they have... or let go in order to become who they're meant to be. Because sometimes, loving someone isn't enough to make them stay-and sometimes, choosing yourself means walking away from the one person you never wanted to lose. In the end, they achieve everything they once dreamed of. Everything... except each other.

Short stories you could say about noticing life's flaws and perfections, and learning what it means to grow up.

She doesn't hate herself... she just doesn't know how to love herself either. In a world where everyone seems confident, loud, and sure of who they are, she feels like a blur-someone people look past without noticing. After going through things she never talks about, she starts to question everything-her worth, her voice, even her own reflection. She craves something so simple, yet so rare-someone to look at her and say, "You're enough. You're pretty. You matter." But what happens when the only validation she's searching for... slowly starts to break her even more? She doesn't want grand gestures or perfect love. She just wants someone who looks at her-really looks-and tells her she's pretty without her having to ask.
