taesan is your enemy, or so you think he is. you're both academically smart so you guys often fight for the first place, no matter if its the smallest thing like getting all correct on a quiz or the biggest thing like achieving the model student title. it has always been a silent rule to defeat the other.

last weekend, your grandparents asked you if you had a boyfriend at your family dinner. feeling nervous as you could feel every single eyeball staring at you, you nodded yes. your grandmother was practically beaming at the thought of you with your so called boyfriend and asked you to invite him to the family dinner happening again next week. this whole thing completely slipped from your mind as you had an important test coming up and you had to beat taesan, so you were freaking out. where are you gonna randomly find a guy to play your fake boyfriend at dinner tomorrow?

you continue contemplating as taesan sat at the empty seat next to you and spoke "so, i just asked the teacher, he said he looked over my paper and found nothing wrong, ready to be second place?" you completely ignore what he said and blurted out "be my boyfriend" he widened his eyes in surprise "excuse me?" "no i mean be my fake boyfriend for tomorrow at my family dinner." "..why?" "because youre my only option" which was true. "just once, please?" "what would i get in return?" "a fancy dinner?" "..fine" you look at his to confirm he isnt lying, but all you could see was seriousness on his face "wait, really?" he nods and you continue "but this doesnt change the fact we hate each other though" "wait we do?" your mouth dries up completely as you think of what to say next, but luckily for you, the lunch bell rings, indicating the lunch break has ended. you quickly tell him that you would send him the restaurant address

you're now waiting outside your house as taesan said he would fetch you to the restaurant, still thinking what he meant when he said "wait really". you spot his car and go into the passenger seat. "hey" he says
