For two years, you and Jaehyun have clashed in class—each encounter a volley of sarcastic remarks and unspoken grudges. Then Haein, a relentless stalker from another class, escalated his harassment from annoying messages to aggressive, after-school confrontations. Desperate for a solution, you devise a risky plan: make Haein believe you’re taken.

The only problem is finding someone convincing. Jaehyun, with his intimidating presence and undeniable popularity, is the perfect candidate—though he’s the last person you’d ever consider.

After school before he is going to his part-time shift workplace, you muster the courage to call him and told him everything.

His voice, laced with disbelief, cuts through your anxiety. “Fake boyfriend? Are you kidding me? I have better things to do than entertain your ridiculous schemes.”
