Lee Erin thought surviving high school with her brother's annoying best friend was hard-until college with Nishimura Riki as her boyfriend-slash-unofficial-roommate. He's moved in without permission, rent, or shame, and between sneaking past the RA, sabotaging clingy classmates, and failing every attempt at "studying" (kissing doesn't count), Erin's peaceful college life? Gone.
Then chaos strikes:
Her parents drop by uninvited.
The school launches a "Campus Couple" contest.
And somehow, she and Ni-ki end up in rival org elections-enemies to lovers, again.
As if that's not enough, her brother Heeseung transfers in after flunking out and immediately declares war on a girl whose project he destroyed and who might just wreck his heart too.
Meanwhile, Erin and Ni-ki turn part-time matchmakers for their friends: Haerin, a clumsy cat-eyed girl, and Jungwon, the stoic guy who keeps catching her (literally) in the most ridiculous moments.
Fake dating is over.
Real love is in session.
But can Erin and Ni-ki survive clingy classmates, academic chaos, matchmaking schemes-and the fire they started in the dorm kitchen-without flunking out... or falling even harder?
"i hate myself because of 𝘺𝘰𝘶, don't you understand?"
"i don't get it. how can i make you hate yourself? i'm your closest friend."
"i struggle to get out of bed in the morning because i want to stay away from you, goddammit!"
"what?" the hurt in his voice was shattering.
