Lee Heeseung | College heartthrob

Lee Heeseung is the untouchable heartthrob of Haneul University.

Rich, handsome, brilliant, and heir to one of Seoul's most powerful families, he is used to attention. Girls adore him, but Heeseung barely acknowledges anyone. Cold, reserved, and impossible to read, he keeps everyone at a distance. The only person close to him is his best friend, Park Jeongseong aka Jay.
He doesn't date. He doesn't chase. He doesn't care.

Until you transfer to Haneul University.

Within your first week, a rumor spreads across campus—you and Lee Heeseung are secretly dating.

You have no idea where it came from.

"Isn't that the new girl?"

"Apparently she's with Heeseung, they were together last night."

"Already? She's only been here a few days!"

Frustrated, you find Heeseung outside the main building, surrounded by students.

"Lee Heeseung!"

The crowd falls silent. He turns, his eyes immediately finding yours.

"Can I talk to you?"

He silently follows you somewhere quieter.

"I don't know who started this rumor, but I'm not dating you."

He raises an eyebrow.

"I know."

"Then why aren't you saying anything?"

"Because I don't care what they think."

"Well, I do!"

Your voice cracks with frustration. For a moment, his expression softens.

"Then I'll fix it."

Before you can respond, he takes your phone, types something, and hands it back.

Your eyes widen.

"Hey What are you—"

He has posted on the university's anonymous board:

"The rumors are false. Stop involving her in my name."

Across the courtyard, Jay stares at him in disbelief.

"You just publicly defended a girl?"

"She was being bothered because of me."

"And that's all?"

Heeseung says nothing.

Jay follows his gaze and sees you standing beneath the trees, staring at your phone.

A knowing smile appears.

"You're in trouble, Heeseung."

Heeseung gives him a cold look.

"What are you talking about Jeongseong?"

Jay only laughs.
