Choi Seungcheol x Kim Seollin

K-pop top-tier star and second-in-command x actress and heartthrob collector

One terrifying collision at a ski resort, and Kim Seollin KO'd the ill-fated left leg of Choi Seungcheol, leader of a top-tier boy group!

A hundred days for bones and muscles to heal. Forced to stay by his side and care for him, Kim Seollin never imagined this ill-fated connection would become the perfect place for love to take root.

The top-tier superstar shed his halo and became the clumsy yet adorable "injured Choi" in front of her, while she became the deepest secret in his heart.

Choi Seungcheol (aggrieved): You said it was all your fault.

Kim Seollin: I'm not abandoning you. I have to go film.

Choi Seungcheol: Then can you take me with you? (puppy-dog eyes)

Kim Seollin: Is your leg really not better yet?

Their secret romance was sweet and thrilling, until one day Choi Seungcheol's disastrous gaming skills flared up, and their relationship was forced out into the open.

His teammates were speechless: "Hyung! You don't recognize your sister-in-law's photo? You can't even say her name?"

The maknae angrily roasted him online: "You can still get down on your knees on a durian!"

Old Luo's eyes widened in shock: "??? I think I just found out something incredible..."

The production team was ecstatic: "This episode's ratings are going to explode!!!"

Afterward

Choi Seungcheol (guilty): "Baby, I think... our relationship might be exposed."

Kim Seollin (confused): "Oh, it's fine, but... we haven't seen each other lately, have we?"

Choi Seungcheol (covering his face): "...Well... I couldn't say your name in the game, and those brats totally destroyed me."

Kim Seollin: "…" (At this moment, she just wants to break his other leg too!)

"The Leader's 'Princess' Persona Crumbles, but His Boyfriend Skills Are Off the Charts"

Synopsis:

[Cool on the outside, pure-hearted inside Seungcheol x sunny, cheerful girl with a built-in rose-colored filter | childhood friends | sweet, swoony, and healing]

Kim Yunha has always treasured a "black history" photo: young Choi Seungcheol, with rosy lips and pearly teeth, as pretty as a dainty little princess.

Returning from studying abroad with her soft spot for her childhood friend, her "Seungcheol-ie," she discovers that the boy in her memories has mutated! He's become S.COUPS, a cool leader who dominates the stage and can "kill" with a glare offstage!

Kim Yunha: Where's my pretty childhood friend who needed all that protecting?!

Choi Seungcheol: ... (Black-history attack +1) But why does this troublemaker, who always looks at me with that weirdly affectionate gaze, seem more and more likable?

To "silence" her, he takes the initiative to play the part of "Korea's Best Big Brother," picking her up, keeping her company, and buying her snacks, all with meticulous care as he tries to restore his dignified image.

But the moment someone confesses to her, his composure instantly crumbles. He grabs her by the arm and pulls her into a corner, his face dark: "You promised when we were kids that you'd protect me. Do you keep your promises?"

She stares at him, baffled. "Huh? S-so what?"

He leans down, his tone dangerous yet tender: "So for the rest of your life, you can only stay by my side and protect me. Got it?"

Mingyu: ??? Hyung, that's my sister.

Seungcheol: Yeah... she's mine too.

Important notes!

1. Sweet romance with no angst.

2. The heroine is Mingyu's biological younger sister. The family gets along well, with no messy drama.

3. I'll try to keep the members' personalities true to life. Any OOC is my own fault. The childhood descriptions are based on the premise, with no feminization intended. (Please let me live!)

Theme: Everything works out in my favor.
