Summary
What do you do when you’re the school president, and you get half a dozen confessions a day that you really don’t want?
Even better, what do you do when your acquaintance/friend/slight-pain-in-your-ass is treated like a complete outcast by the entire student body, and you know that he doesn’t deserve it?
That’s right: you fake-date him!
...Wait.
In which Student Body President Ari Astutia meets Notorious Delinquent Hyojin Carys, discovers he isn’t what everyone says he is, and concocts the w̶o̶r̶s̶t̶ best plan of the 21st century: pretending to date him.It’s a way to deter all of Ari’s suitors so he can have peace of mind; it’s a way to show everyone that Hyojin isn’t as big and bad as they think; it’s the perfect solution to their problems.
And between the two of them, the probability of any real feelings developing is almost zero.
Almost.

Summary
“We need something that overshadows this mishap while still keeping the production in good favour. So, the production team have given you two an out.” She has a slight shine in her eye as she looks at Hyojin. “They’ve suggested a fabricated relationship.”
There’s a ringing in Hyojin’s ears as the world goes mute.
Hyojin Kang is the new kid on the acting block—ready for his big break as Carys in the upcoming romance-drama series, 'The Name of the Game', starring alongside well-beloved actor Ari Astutia, who he's admired (and fancied) for years. But on their very first day filming together, Hyojin's rose-tinted glasses shatter when he discovers that Ari is far from the Prince Charming everyone thinks he is—he's rude, crude, and quite possibly the most stuck-up, narcissistic asshole Hyojin has ever met.
Unable to set aside their differences, Hyojin and Ari are caught by the cameras for their hostility—one disagreement that could cost their entire production. To nip the issue in the bud, their managers give them an ultimatum: form a fabricated relationship to fool the public into thinking all is well.
In other words: pretend to date.
