Irene's the top student at SM academy and Wendy's the equally talented yet irritating obstacle standing in her way. She's not pissed or jealous. Really, she isn't.

Wendy doesn’t need anybody to tell her that this is a bad idea but she needs something to draw attention to the coffee shop; and Irene needs a pretend-girlfriend. Except Irene is a brat—and can someone please just send Wendy to hell.

Seungwan's front-door neighbour is the most beautiful woman she's ever seen, and one day she'll definitely work up the courage to ask her out. In the meantime, though, she'd be happy to get through a conversation without embarrassing herself.

The first time Seungwan saw Joohyun, she’d just turned 13 and the older girl was 14, a few weeks away from her birthday. She fell in love instantly.

Wendy spent a drunken one-night stand with a woman she met a the bar. Two days later, she went to work only to find out that they have a new boss -- and she turned out to be the woman from two nights before.

All Seungwan wanted was to escape reality at least for a little while and go live in some fairy tale where everything goes right and everybody’s happy. Still, she didn’t expect it to actually happen! Now that she’s found herself in the fairy tale kingdom overnight, she’ll do her best to keep the story on track and make sure princess Joohyun gets her happily ever after with the prince. Of course, nothing is ever that simple, is it?

Seungwan has always lived a life of order and restraint, but she begins to think she might want more when she meets Irene, a mysterious woman with a spark of chaos in her eyes. What she doesn't know is that Irene is more than just a pretty face with a wild side and that she's been gambling with her life from the moment the two crossed paths.

They used to lie awake at night and count the stars. Remember all the centuries shared, await with bated breath the countless centuries ahead of them. Joohyun still lies there alone, but the sky doesn’t hold the same warmth. It stares back, cold and hostile. Even the constellations have changed.

Dear Joohyun,

It’s Seungwan. Remember me? I sure hope you do, or this will be very embarrassing. Maybe it’s a good thing I’m only writing a letter and not popping up at your doorstep or something. Especially if you’ve moved.

“How many times have the girl scouts even been here?” Yerim carries on, absently ripping open the carton in her hands and reaching inside. She turns to face Joohyun then, eyes carrying the light-hearted impatience that her older sister’s idiosyncrasies always tend to elicit. “And can you stop buying something every time they come by?”

Sitting behind her book, pulled at random from the nearest shelf on her way in, Seungwan ponders her options once more: go up to the cute librarian and actually talk to her (which she never does), keep sitting there and hope the librarian will approach her instead (which never happens) or give up on her crush and go home. Well, not go home forever. She’ll still come back for books every once in a while, libraries are pretty useful like that.

The first time they meet, Irene kills the target Wendy has been seducing for the past three months and runs off with his (hopelessly encrypted) laptop. The second time they meet, Wendy shorts out the bugs Irene has planted all over a particular hotel room. She isn't even sure who is staying there, she just wants some payback.

A werewolf and a vampire as roommates? Gross. Sickening. Cute? Maybe.

Wendy's a final year high school student while Irene is her psychiatrist.
