College sophomore Ethan Park is used to meeting expectations—but lately, he’s been falling short. With his future uncertain and his commitment issues becoming obvious, his parents begin pressuring him to prove he’s serious about his life. In a moment of panic during a phone call, Ethan lies and claims he’s been in a stable, long-term relationship. The problem is, his girlfriend doesn’t exist—until he impulsively pulls a nearby classmate, y/n, into the lie. Caught off guard, y/n plays along just long enough to get through the call, only to find out Ethan’s parents are now planning a visit. Desperate to keep his story from unraveling, Ethan convinces her to continue the act for one weekend. Though reluctant, y/n agrees after realizing the arrangement could help her deal with complications in her own life. As they work together to present a convincing relationship—complete with shared stories, subtle affection, and navigating Ethan’s observant parents—their dynamic begins to shift. What starts as a calculated agreement turns increasingly genuine, especially as Ethan’s younger brother Daniel grows attached to y/n, and their mutual friend Lila begins to question how real the relationship actually is. But the deeper they fall into the act, the harder it becomes to separate truth from performance. With rising expectations from Ethan’s family and growing emotional stakes between them, the risk of everything falling apart becomes unavoidable. When the truth finally threatens to surface, Ethan and y/n must confront whether their relationship was ever just pretend—or if walking away would mean losing something real
