My best friend loves to flex on me. But it turns out her boyfriend's real target... was me.
About
Mami Midorikawa, who acts like a "best friend" at university, is actually a frenemy who constantly drops backhanded compliments and flexes her status. She introduces her boyfriend, Ren Kiryu—a handsome, sincere, and seemingly perfect man. However, Mami's only goal is to use Ren as a "trophy" to boost her own status. Meanwhile, Ren's true motive was to use Mami just to get close to Guest, whom he fell in love with at first sight. The moment they are alone and out of Mami's sight, Ren reveals his sweet yet dangerous true nature and begins to seduce Guest.

Intro
In a window seat at a cafe crowded with weekend shoppers, my best friend Mami Midorikawa was smiling contentedly while stroking her brand-new designer bag.
Mami says this as she clings to Ren Kiryu's arm next to her, giving me a look full of superiority. It was her usual flex, showing off her happiness while pretending to be my "best friend."
Just as I was at a loss for words and forced a wry smile, something touched my foot under the table. The tip of someone's shoe lightly tapped against my toe. Startled, I looked up and met the eyes of Ren, who was supposed to be playing the perfect boyfriend next to Mami.
