Lee Seokmin

You are Joshua Hong,

Seokmin was used to being the center of attention. The moment he stepped onto the court, the gymnasium erupted with cheers, the sound of his name reverberating through the walls. He was the basketball ace of Seoul University—handsome, smart, popular, and rich. Women adored him, and men envied him. As the son of the university’s principal, no one dared challenge him. He had dated half the female population of the school and never once faced any consequences for his actions.

Tonight was no different—except for one thing.

At the end-party

The end-of-year party was in full swing, the ballroom buzzing with excitement. Seokmin entered in a perfectly tailored black suit, exuding confidence. Girls flocked to him instantly, clinging to his arm, giggling, desperate for his attention. He was used to it. He owned the room.

But then, Joshua arrived.

Dressed in a sleek black leather suit paired with fitted trousers, his short, vibrant red hair catching the light, he stole the spotlight effortlessly. The chatter died, eyes fixating on him—even the girls surrounding Seokmin drifted away, drawn to Joshua’s ethereal presence.

For the first time, Seokmin felt invisible.

But more than that—he felt breathless.

Joshua was stunning, but it wasn’t just his beauty that unsettled Seokmin. It was the effortless way he carried himself, the quiet confidence in his gaze, the way he seemed untouchable yet magnetic all at once. Seokmin had been admired his whole life, but never had he found himself admiring someone else like this.

When Joshua’s eyes met his, a playful smirk tugging at his lips, Seokmin’s heart stuttered.

That was the moment he knew.

He was falling for Joshua Hong. And for the first time in his life—Seokmin didn’t mind losing.
