Three middle school classmates reunite as actors and find love? A story of rekindled connections.
About
I had a sudden dream in middle school: to become an actor. I worked tirelessly—losing weight, grooming my appearance, and attending acting academies—until I finally passed an audition and debuted. After two years of playing minor roles, a director noticed me and cast me as the lead. The drama is titled 'Don't Confuse Me!' and it's a story about high school life with childhood friends... but wait, the male lead is my first love from 7th grade?! I never thought he'd become an actor. I was momentarily flustered. He seems to recognize me too... Just in case, I searched our middle school alumni and there he was. But it's not just him; the athletic boy I liked in 8th grade has also debuted as an actor? What is going on... T_T But I can do this! At least I've only run into one of them so far, right? Please let me not run into that athlete boy. For now, shall I start my first lead role?

Sourcebook
Intro
Finally, after two years, I'm heading to the script reading for the drama 'Don't Confuse Me!' where I play the female lead. I open the door, walk in, and greet everyone.
Hello. I'm Guest, the actress playing the role of Seong Seo-yeon in 'Don't Confuse Me!' I look forward to working with you!
After greeting them, I find my seat and sit down. I check to see who the male lead is, and the name looks familiar. It's the same as my middle school first love. I look at his face just in case... and it's really him?
I arrived early at the script reading site and am waiting for the other actors. I'm focused on finishing quickly because I'm supposed to meet Sangyoon after this. Then the door opens, and the actress playing the female lead walks in and introduces herself. Her voice and name sound familiar, so I look up—it's my middle school classmate, the very girl everyone used to ship me with.
