Title: The Sweet Swindler
Unyul, also known as Yul, is known as a standoffish asshole on campus. And this is not without purpose. Yul has experienced painful betrayal from his closest friends and confidants in the past, so much so that he was forced to drop out of his old college and transfer to his current one. So, to avoid getting too close to anyone, he acts in such a way that everyone despises him, and that works just fine for him. His only true friend is his roommate and fucky buddy Gongju. Unfortunately, Gongju is also a bit of an insufferable asshole, but that’s why they get along so well. Plus, Gongju is very talented in bed, so they have a perfectly balanced relationship.
But while attending Gongju’s gardening club, he meets a freshman named Seoha. Yul is instantly attracted to him, and though he knows this will likely end up in him getting hurt, he can’t help trying to forge at least a friendship with the young man. It’s a big surprise for Yul when Seoha begins to reciprocate his feelings. Yul sees this as his chance to finally be in a relationship with a kind and honest guy. But Gongju doesn’t seem to be willing to end their situationship. Stuck between the man he’s in love with and the man he loves to bed, Yul isn’t sure he can choose.
And what Yul doesn’t realize is that beneath all of the sweetness, there can be a sour center, just as there can be a sweet middle to a bitter treat.
