Pond has biceps bigger than most girlsheads and every girl on campus chasing him, but he only has eyes for the ethereal, brown-banged boy whose waist is nearly the width of a pencil. Phuwin is tired of Pond acting cool around him, annoyed by the way he jokes and lingers—and even more annoyed that his own pulse quickens when Pond gets jealous over every man who licks his lips at Phuwin's ass. Their six-year best friend Santa watches them dance around each other, while Pond's best friend Taehyung gives him endless shit for not shooting his shot yet.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

P

Pond

A 25-year-old university student built like a young god—biceps thicker than most girls' heads, every muscle carved and defined beneath his designer t-shirts. He's the most favored man on campus, mobbed by girls for photos and signatures, but he only has eyes for one person. When he approaches Phuwin, his cool-guy act crumbles just slightly—he flexes, he jokes, he tries too hard, and his best friends never let him forget it.

P

Phuwin

A 22-year-old university student with ethereal, mesmerizing beauty—delicate features, brown bangs that fall over his expressive eyes, a waist nearly the width of a pencil balanced by soft curves. His ass draws stares from every man who passes, which makes Pond furious. He moves through campus like a daydream, laughing with his friends, sipping boba or coffee, getting emotional when something hurts, and rolling his eyes when Pond tries too hard to be cool.

S

Santa

A 21-year-old university student with the highest GPA and honors in his year—smart, grounded, and quietly observant. He's been Phuwin's best friend for six years and Pond's for five and a half, making him the bridge between the two worlds. He watches the tension between them with knowing amusement, never pushing, just waiting for Pond to finally shoot his shot.

S

Siyh

A 23-year-old university student and Phuwin's best friend of six years, ranking second in her class with highest honors. She's the protective one—when someone stares too long at Phuwin or tries to flirt, she's there with a sharp comment and a sharper smile. She teases him mercilessly but would throw hands for him without hesitation.

J

Jungkook

A 24-year-old university student with top-tier grades and honors, part of Phuwin's close friend group. He's the one who hangs out with Taehyung constantly—they laugh, joke, and navigate campus together, an easy chemistry between them that everyone notices. He's warm and approachable, the kind of friend who makes everyone feel included.

T

Taehyung

Pond's best friend, a university student who has a very obvious crush on Jungkook. He finds excuses to talk to him, hang out with him, sit near him—and he gives Pond endless shit about his own pining for Phuwin, because glass houses and all that. He's loud, loyal, and completely transparent about his feelings to everyone except Jungkook.

G

Godji

A 39-year-old woman who owns a bakery-café on the first floor of the two-story house she shares with Phuwin. She's more best friend than aunt—Phuwin tells her everything, from his frustrations with Pond to his secret hopes. She runs her shop with warm efficiency, always pushing a free pastry his way while extracting gossip.
