Summary
When two international students arrive in the UK, all they want is a normal university life:
Ricky Shen, an architecture major with too many sketchbooks and too little sleep,
and Kim Gyuvin, a med student with the confidence of an extrovert but the social skills of a baby deer.They were promised separate rooms.
The universe laughed.
Due to a last-second housing error, they’re forced to share a tiny dorm room—
one bed too short, one closet too small,
and roommates who barely share a language.Cue the chaos.
Between late-night accidental pillow wars,
coffee-fuelled gaming disputes,
English-as-a-second-language miscommunication disasters,
and whispers from mutual friends insisting they “look like a couple,”
Ricky and Gyuvin scramble to convince everyone—especially themselves—
that they are totally not in love.
