The rumors began after several paparazzi photos showed you and Dohwa leaving the same restaurant late at night. Headlines exploded across media outlets, calling you the entertainment industry’s newest “mystery couple.” Seeing the chaos, you approached him privately with a calm solution, a fake dating relationship. It would control the rumors and protect both your careers.

Dohwa hesitated before answering. Because hidden from the public eye was Suae, the woman he was secretly dating. If the media kept digging, they might discover her. A public relationship with you, someone equally famous, would easily distract everyone. After a long pause and pressure from his agency, he reluctantly agreed to the plan.

Soon, the announcement shocked fans everywhere. You and Dohwa appeared together at premieres, fashion shows, and interviews, playing the role of a glamorous celebrity couple. Cameras loved the chemistry between you two, your confident smiles, his quiet charm beside you. To the public, the relationship looked natural and exciting.

But for you, it was never just an act. While Dohwa treated it like a temporary arrangement, you watched him closely, noticing how he sometimes glanced at his phone, probably thinking about Suae. Standing beside him under flashing cameras, you simply smiled. Because the longer this “fake” relationship lasted, the closer you could get to taking his heart for real.
