Y/n only wanted one thing this Christmas: a peaceful winter getaway with her older brother, Heeseung. But peace becomes impossible the moment she finds out he invited them. His loud, chaotic, way-too-good-looking friends. Jay, the sarcastic troublemaker. Jake, the smooth talker with a stare that lingers too long. And worst of all... Sunghoon. Her impossible crush. Her walking distraction. Her biggest reason this trip is about to become a disaster. Y/n swears she'll survive the week if she just avoids Sunghoon and the boys' constant teasing but then Jake starts acting strange. Protective. Observant. Almost like he knows something she doesn't. Or like... he's planning something. Between snowstorms, shared cabins, late-night hot chocolate runs, secret glances, and one suspiciously placed mistletoe, Y/n's "worst holiday ever" suddenly becomes a dangerous game of emotions. Because on this trip, anything can happen. A crush turning into heartbreak... A friend turning into temptation... Or a kiss she never saw coming. What could go wrong under the mistletoe? ...Or better question: What could go right?

He was the last person she expected to be stuck with, but as the fire crackles and snow piles up outside, old memories resurface and new sparks begin to glow.

'𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧' Misa and Sunghoon's arranged marriage has always been a fragile illusion, broken beyond repair. It has never been more than arguments, sex without apologies, and long gone trust.

Y/n, fresh from a messy breakup and academic burnout, escapes to her grandmother's seaside town for the summer, planning to work at her uncle's fruit stand, avoid people, and finally write her thesis. Enter Jake Sim - effortlessly charming, flirty, and annoyingly shirtless. He's working at the watermelon farm next door for the summer after getting suspended from college for a fight he won't talk about. He's the type of boy your mom warns you about. She's the girl who stopped believing in love. Their first meeting ends with watermelon juice spilled all over her white shirt. Their second ends with him calling her "ice queen." Their third? Well... there might've been tongue.

Sim Jaeyun (Jake) x Reader FF | Mature | 18+ One night, one reckless game. "Rate us, [Your Name]. Sweet, normal, dominant, or freak?" You didn't hesitate. Heeseung got a three. Sunghoon, a three. Jay, a safe two. But Jake? "One point five." Sunshine boy. Too sweet to ever be rough. Too gentle to ruin anyone. The table erupted in laughter-everyone agreed it fit him perfectly. Everyone except Jake. He didn't laugh. He didn't forget. And when he cornered you later, the smile was gone. "Not a one point five. Not with you." Now you're the one in trouble, because behind Jake's dimples is a storm you never saw coming. Sweet in daylight. Dangerous in the dark. And once he decides to prove you wrong... there's no undoing the score.

Sunghoon Park is the worst. He is constantly finding ways to irritate me. We don't even compete against each other, what is his problem? When a fierce arguement on the ice between us goes viral, our team gets a lucrative sponsorship-on one condition: that Sunghoon and I pair up as ambassadors for their company. Which means learning to skate in a pair, something I have never done. And attending their events as a couple. I like to think I am a good actress, but this is pushing it. The more time I spend with the Ice Prince, though, the more I see a different side. A hotter side. God help me, I need to focus. I want to go to the Olympics before I am too old. It's bad enough I have to do the pairs and keep up my solo skate, I don't need his kind of distraction.
