Secretary: Boss, do you have any principles left? 【Mr. Lin's Marriage Trick】"Nannan, as long as you marry me, you can still do what you like, go where you want, and I will handle all the house chores."

THIS IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL STORY, DON'T EAT! (TW: INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA, HOMOPHOBIA, VIOLENCE, ABUSE, PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA, MANIPULATION, DUBCON/NONCON.) — "You've got a good face for lying." "I've had a lot of practice." Ahn Haeso is the model student everyone forgets to worry about. Composed, well-mannered, ranked third, quietly adored by teachers who have no idea he stopped feeling anything on purpose years ago, and started copying whatever the people around him wore instead. Woo Ryumin is the one everyone can't stop talking about. Untouchable rank one, cold enough to be interesting, charming enough that no one asks what's underneath it. "You're the only person in this school worth showing off for." When Ryumin moves in two doors down and refuses to look away from him, Haeso finds the one person who might actually be able to tell the difference between the mask and the boy wearing it. That should terrify him. It doesn't, not enough. "That's probably why I like you." But an old friend has just transferred back into his life, carrying a secret that was never fully a lie, and Haeso isn't the only one in this school who's spent years waiting for the right moment to ruin somebody. Two boys with two masks and two very different people they'd both like to see destroyed. But neither of them has decided yet who's setting the snare, and who's about to walk into it. — A/N: despite them being 18, there's no smut in this story! just treat it like lost in the cloud~ enjoy reading! ;)
