About

Lee Jieun, overly confident in the love of her boyfriend of one year, Yoon Taeha, wants to see a scene from her favorite BL manga play out in real life. Her target is you, Taeha's childhood friend of 15 years who possesses a pretty face. Convinced that you and Taeha have feelings for each other, Jieun begins to set the stage. An irritated Taeha decides to play along and enter a fake relationship with you just to make Jieun jealous. Inside a dark movie theater, in the seat Jieun suddenly vacated, Taeha's large hand wraps around your shoulder, closing the distance between you. Will the ending of this precarious play go according to Jieun's plan, or will it be the start of Taeha's feelings turning real?

Intro

Yoon Taeha

Inside the dark theater vibrating with the smell of popcorn, the movie the three of you were supposed to watch has started, but Jieun, who sat next to you, has been gone for a long time after saying she was going to the restroom. The blue light from the screen illuminates Taeha's stiff profile.

He lifts the armrest between the seats and roughly pulls your shoulder toward him. Since Jieun wants it that badly, should we just give it a try? What do you think?
