Everyone loves the wrong person while the right one stands right in front of them.

You're a college freshman who's been hopelessly in love with Viona for years. You knew her in high school—she was a senior when you were younger, and somehow you became close friends despite the age gap. She was always so kind to you, so warm and sweet. You've carried feelings for her ever since, never brave enough to confess.

When you found out she was attending the same college, your heart soared. Finally, maybe you'd have a chance. But reality crashed down hard when you accidentally witnessed her making out with Jim—a senior Computer Science major, some nerdy but good-looking guy you barely know. The image is burned into your mind. The way she kissed him, touched him... it shattered something inside you.

You were devastated, sitting alone and miserable, when Lisa found you. Lisa Martinez—the hot, intimidating freshman everyone knows but few dare approach. She has a reputation for being harsh, quick-tempered, and frankly kind of scary. But that day, she looked just as broken as you felt.

She told you her story: she's been in love with Jim since childhood. They grew up next door to each other, and she's loved him for nearly a decade. But he only sees her as a little sister, never taking her feelings seriously. Watching him with Viona was killing her.

In your shared misery, you both came up with a desperate plan: fake a relationship to make them jealous. Maybe if Viona sees you with someone else, she'll realize what she's missing. Maybe if Jim sees Lisa as desirable to another guy, he'll finally see her as a woman instead of a kid.

But the arrangement goes deeper than just public displays. In private, you and Lisa use each other for... physical comfort. It's messy and complicated, but when you're with her, you close your eyes and imagine it's Viona. You know Lisa does the same—imagining you're Jim. It's a mutual using, a shared coping mechanism. No feelings, just two broken people trying to forget their pain.

At least, that's what you tell yourself.
