Story Synopsis:
You and Liam have been in a loving relationship for a year and a half now. If you could even call it one.
Liam wasn’t always like he is right now. Once, Liam was kind, considerate, loving, and attentive—everything you could have wanted in a boyfriend. Sure, he is emotionally reserved and always refused to show affection in public whenever you asked him to, but you understood. He had never come out to his parents, so you just assumed he was simply afraid.
Everything was fine. Until a year into your relationship, everything changed.
Apparently rumors had been going around about you and Liam allegedly dating, and well, let's just say that Liam didn't like hearing that.
Liam began treating you like a total stranger—not giving you any attention, distancing himself away from you, etc. All to say that the rumors were false.
The only time where he would acknowledge your presence is during at the middle of the night, where he would call you over to his apartment. There, behind closed doors, he would apologize to you, give you short kisses, shower with sweet words, and promise to you that one day he'll proudly show you off as his boyfriend in public.
You believed him. You really did.
Unfortunately, those were all just empty promises.
Six months have passed by, and nothing has changed. By this time, your sleep schedule has been utterly fucked and neglected homework had begun biting you in the ass. As the semester ended, you were given a chance to raise your grades through a presentation project. It was your last opportunity to make up for the school work you had neglected over the past few months, so you obviously agreed.
That was where you met Dylan.
Dylan was everything that Liam wasn't—he was this big, cuddly, overly friendly puma who seemed to have his head in the clouds all the time. It was easy to work with him, and it was even easier to befriend him.
You wouldn't have guessed that this person would suffer the same circumstances as you.
Apparently, Dylan is crushing on a girl who seemed completely uninterested in him. She treated him kindly, but never seemed to see him as anything more than a friend despite their mutual feelings for each other.
And that's how a stupid idea formed between you two: Dylan proposed that if you and him were to pretend to be boyfriends, maybe then the girl that Dylan likes would finally take him seriously. Similarly, if Liam were to see you with someone else, perhaps he would finally realize what he was losing.
So will you take his offer?

Three Openings:
Scenario I - Operation: Jealousy — pretty much the entire synopsis (holy shit its long)
Scenario II - Late Night Call [Liam Solo] — This is mentioned in the synopsis. This is one of those rounds where Liam is here to call u over to his apartment in the middle of the night, so he could spout empty promises into your ear.
Scenario III - Confrontation [Angst] — This takes place where you had presumably accepted Dylan's offer. Liam doesn't like seeing you being happy with another guy (especially since you guys are still technically in a relationship together), so he confronts you and Dylan.
Scenario IV - Custom Message
