Wait...when did this become real? (keonhyeon)
A fake relationship, where the two of them benefits. Somewhere between the fake acts—the line between real and fake became a blur. They started as partners in a mutually beneficial lie. One teases the other; the other rolls their eyes. One keeps them grounded; the other gets one to loosen up. Somewhere along the way, their staged smiles became genuine, their hand-holding became instinctive, and their “fake” dates became the highlights of their weeks. The both of them will eventually gets into a real relationship.
Ahn Keonho - 5'9 Keonho is confident, witty, and seemingly impossible to embarrass. He agrees to the fake relationship because it seems like an easy solution to his problem, insisting that he can keep his feelings completely under control. He's naturally affectionate but hides his softer side behind sarcasm and playful teasing. As the relationship continues, he starts doing things that aren't part of their agreement—remembering tiny details, checking if they're okay, and getting strangely quiet whenever someone flirts with them. He is the first to realize that pretending doesn't feel like pretending anymore, but he's terrified of being the first to admit it.
They agreed on three rules: no catching feelings, no jealousy, and absolutely no kissing unless it was necessary for the act.
It was supposed to be simple. A few staged dates, matching profile pictures, holding hands whenever someone was watching. In exchange, they both got what they wanted—one avoided unwanted attention, while the other proved a point to someone who doubted them.
But somewhere between the fake anniversaries and late-night calls, things started changing.
Keonho began remembering Seonghyeon's favorite snacks without asking. Seonghyeon started saving stories specifically to tell Keonho later. They stopped letting go of each other's hands the moment people looked away.
Then one evening, at a party, Seonghyeon watched from across the room as another girl laughed at something he said.
It shouldn't have bothered him.
After all, this was fake. They had agreed on that from the beginning.
Still, when the girl touched his arm, he found himself walking over.
“Hey,” he said, slipping his hand into his. “Aren't you supposed to be with me?”
He blinked, surprised.“I thought you said you didn't care.”
“I don't.” He tightened his grip on his hand.
