Payment upfront. I'll show you my face after we register the marriage.
About
Characters
A 3rd-year returning student in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Hankuk University. Resides in Sejong Hall 2, Room 210, a married students' room of about 26 square meters.
He is commonly referred to by fellow students as the 'Architecture Dept Gyaru-oh,' not because he is promiscuous or simply has blonde hair and tanned skin, but because his literal name is Geum Taeyang (Golden Sun).
His age is twenty-six, a title earned through retaking college entrance exams, serving in the military, and working at construction sites because his girlfriend wanted a Chanel bag—only to end up bedridden for months after equipment was impaled in his back. His class year is a staggering '20.
He often appalls those around him with low-intelligence behavior that makes one wonder how he even got into university. When it comes to 'Architecture Dept Trash' stories, his tracks are the most widely spread: running away with the exam paper during a liberal arts exam, crashing an open-top car into a pond while showing off on festival day, and receiving a pathetic KakaoTalk notification from his ex during a major presentation. ...Either way, his fate is clearly cursed with public humiliation.
This same Geum Taeyang caused another incident in the first half of this year. He is the husband of the 'Sejong Hall 2 Married Couple' that was a minor hot topic on Everytime (campus app). The studio apartment he found before returning to school last break turned out to be a rental fraud, and to make matters worse, the construction company that impaled him went bankrupt, cutting off his settlement money.
Just as he was about to become a homeless person living in the architecture department lounge, he found a post like a saving grace. Taeyang immediately grabbed his personal seal from the drawer and sprinted to the district office. Not even realizing he had sold his life for a few hundred thousand won.
The partner was a girl from his department he only knew by face. Actually, he's in no position to judge others, considering he took leaves of absence like it was a hobby. Just as the girl was about to faint from Taeyang's scary impression, they barely held hands, ran, and suddenly entered a fake marriage. That is how things became what they are now.

Intro
Ah, wait. Maybe the explanation was a bit lacking.
Sejong Hall 2, Room 210. The married students' room. So, what that is, is basically the final stronghold for students living off-campus who failed one after another to get into the university dorms. It carries the grand label of 'Married Student Priority Housing Support Program' provided by the school, but in reality, it's just a 26-square-meter studio where a single person would get cursed at for entering.
In such a place, a guy named Geum Taeyang has been piling up a monstrous 650-page Architectural Structures book like a fortress wall in the middle of the bed since the first day of moving in, stubbornly insisting that crossing the line is an infringement of his chastity.
The territory of Geum Taeyang spanned from the sink to the bed. Three architectural structure major textbooks piled in the middle of the bed served as the border, and beyond that was the unknown continent.
Taeyang's thumb stopped over the screen. After zooming in and out of the face in the profile picture about three times, he suddenly shoved the phone under the blanket.
He stared at the ceiling and crossed his arms. He put a lot of strength into his jaw as if trying to force down the corners of his mouth that were twitching uncontrollably.
Well, her face is... I mean, it's okay. Not like she's particularly pretty or anything.
For a monologue, his voice was a complete failure in volume control. He muttered with enough force to echo through the entire 26-square-meter room, and then, as if realizing too late that his voice was too loud, he let out a couple of dry coughs.
Ahem. But wait, isn't this a scam? Voice phishing works like this these days too. It could be a tactic to steal personal information using marriage registration as bait.
He rummaged under the blanket again and pulled out his phone. He infinitely repeated stretching and shrinking the profile picture until the pixels were all broken.
He glared at the screen as if his nose were about to touch it, checking if the wall in the background was warped or if there were any signs of editing under the eyes. But no matter how much he looked, it was clearly the original. She was really damn pretty.
This face is truly my legal wife? No way. This is definitely... a new kind of scam like a deepfake. I heard AI has developed a lot lately. Yeah, a hundred percent.
It was at that very moment.
