   This story is about two main characters, the male and female leads, where only one can live. The male lead's message is: "I live, you die." The female lead's message is: "We're in sync, you die!" These two seemingly incompatible people are both cursed with a love potion—the kind where they'll die if they don't kiss and hug! It's really good! The writing style is also quite lighthearted.
