My Fake Crush Chapter 1: Fangirl for Attention
My Fake Crush Chapter 1 begins with Rai Kim sitting stiffly in the blaring crowd of the year’s most viral boy group, DIMPLE. Lights flashed, fans screamed, and center stage stood the golden-haired, brown-eyed lead vocalist, Neulchan. Her ultimate bias. But Rai wasn’t here for excitement. She was here because of a lie. One foolish lie that spiraled out of control. Somewhere else in the city, a professor stood with a tall boy, talking about the new student.
A few days ago, Rai was in pajamas, half-listening to her friend Miso about a fancam featuring DIMPLE’s members- Isu, Haebin, Neulchan. Miso swooned. Rai just nodded. Just then, a deep voice interrupted. Rai flinched. When did he get here? Dogyeong stood at her door, arms crossed. She threw a pillow at him. So annoying. Dinner was called. Miso thought Rai was obsessed with DIMPLE. But the truth was… she wasn’t. No skipped heartbeats, no butterflies, even at the fan signing. She’d posted edits, hyped the band, and played the role. But she felt… nothing.
Dogyeong’s Masked Jealousy
Back in class, the two girls chattered about idols. Test on Monday, and they were talking. Her eyes flicked to Dogyeong. Her real crush. Childhood friend. Class president. What does he really think of me? He asked suddenly if Rai had turned in her phone. Of course not. He leaned over her, taking it gently. Her heart skipped. His eyes landed on her wallpaper- Neulchan. A flicker passed his face. Jealousy? He leaned in, lips barely a breath away. “I am better looking, no? Take a good look.” She froze. Their eyes locked. Her pulse soared. Then, reality. He pulled back. Joking.. That’s what he said, too casually, walking away. But Rai sat stunned. Was that jealousy? Did he care? That’s why she pretended to fangirl. An ignorant lie, just to get his attention. “Huh? Rai Kim?” a voice called, ending My Fake Crush Chapter 1.

My Fake Crush Chapter 2: He Cares About Her
My Fake Crush Chapter 2 begins with the question When did Rai start liking Dogyeong? She couldn’t really say. If her crush were a novel, you could flip to any page and point randomly, and it would still begin with him. It was elementary school, a sports day she’d rather forget. Rai, in her skirt, pretending to be a princess, had zero talent for sports. No one wanted her on their team. Embarrassed and close to tears, she stood alone until a voice rang out. “I’ll be on Rai’s team,” Dogyeong said. Everyone groaned. He didn’t care. He chose her. Their eyes met, and even at that age, Rai felt it. And over the years, he did, while her feelings stayed locked away.
Back in the present, the world was obsessed with Neulchan. The idol everyone wanted, except Rai. And now he was her benchmate. After a shoulder injury, he was on school break and somehow charmed the teacher into assigning him the seat beside her. Rai was now running errands for him, guilt-trapped by his dazzling smile. And Dogyeong? Always watching.
That evening, Neulchan stopped her near the courtyard. He asked if he could talk to Rai. Dogyeong passed by, pausing just behind the trees, listening. Neulchan wanted her number since she was familiar with the place. Rai’s heart twisted, not for him, but for the lie. What if Miso found out? Dogyeong? That all of it, edits, events, fangirling, just for one person’s attention? Her eyes burned. Shame began to rise. Then, a sharp voice cut through. “Can’t you see she’s uncomfortable?” Dogyeong stepped into view, eyes hard. Neulchan blinked, asking him who he was, ending My Fake Crush Chapter 2.

My Fake Crush Chapter 3: Older Brother?!!
My Fake Crush Chapter 3 begins with the tension from before shattered the moment Dogyeong casually said he was Rai’s older brother. What?! Brother? Really? Dogyeong grabbed her hand and dragged her away, leaving a stunned Neulchan behind. Her heart pounded like a drum, her cheeks burning red. Once they were alone, she immediately demanded an explanation. That “older brother” bit was weird. But Dogyeong shrugged it off, saying it was already weird enough when she looked like she was about to cry. He gently cupped her face, and her heart nearly exploded when he told her not to lie anymore. He continued, casually explaining how Neulchan had been making her run errands, take notes, and had even taken her money without ever offering to pay back, just that signature idol smile.
Rai felt a moment of panic, then relief. At least he didn’t know why she was really doing all of it. Dogyeong wiped away her tears, his fingers soft against her cheek, his voice lower now. He said, because Neulchan was clearly taking advantage of her being a fan. Rai instantly jumped to defend him, saying Dogyeong didn’t understand. But inside, she knew the truth was messier. If anyone exposed Neulchan for what he was doing, he could be blocklisted from the industry.
Dogyeong Asks Rai to Pick One
And if that happened, her fake crush would collapse, along with the only excuse that ever made Dogyeong jealous. She stood abruptly, voice sharp. She told Dogyeong not to talk trash about Neulchan, that he wasn’t who he thought he was. Dogyeong looked genuinely taken aback. Everything she was doing, all of it, was for attention, and yet, here she was defending the lie like it was real. Before she could even process it, Neulchan walked in. Dogyeong stood up too, his voice suddenly cold, saying he didn’t like Neulchan at all. Then came the line that made Rai’s breath catch in her throat. “So choose. Is it me or Neulchan?” There it was. She couldn’t have both.
And who even was Dogyeong Cha? Her ten-year-long crush. Childhood friend. Nari High’s heartthrob. A boy so effortlessly adored that people would ask Rai if they could borrow him for a walk home. But Rai always had that unspoken seat beside him, until she didn’t. Until her attention shifted to a boy with golden hair and a thousand fans. Dogyeong never understood people who wasted feelings on celebrities, but when Rai stopped noticing him, something boiled inside him that he didn’t recognize. And now, watching Neulchan squeeze her hand playfully, offering apologies and grinning like it was a scene from a drama, Dogyeong felt it again: anger, jealousy, frustration. Because over the next few days, Neulchan didn’t stop. He asked for her notes, complimented the scent of her hair, and even stole bites of her snacks like it was no big deal.
That bastard… he was doing it on purpose. Right?!

My Fake Crush Chapter 4: Under The Same Umbrella
In My Fake Crush Chapter 4, the next day, Neulchan casually offered Rai a backstage tour—as an apology, he said. She blinked, stunned. Why would he think she wanted this in the first place? But he insisted. The words echoed in her head, reminding her of Dogyeong’s voice from the day before: “So choose. Me or Neulchan.” Rai hesitated, trying to come up with an excuse about his shoulder injury. But Neulchan brushed it off and even told her to bring a friend. Obviously, that meant Miso. And somehow, despite all her resistance, she found herself saying yes.
Flashback to a year ago. A school quiz competition was coming up. Dogyeong was participating, of course. People teased her that she had a crush on him. She denied it. Harshly. Said they were just childhood friends who went to the same elementary school. But the truth was different. She liked him. Always had. Still, she told everyone she wouldn’t show up that Saturday. Claimed she didn’t care. But she did show up. Because she just wanted to see him win again. To bask in the glow of his presence. Who needs electricity when Dogyeong Cha exists? She was trying to sneak a peek when he spotted her instantly. Asked her what she was hiding. A banner, for him. But she panicked, lied, and said she was there for the boy group DIMPLE. That’s when Miso entered her life. A complete extrovert. They clicked fast.
Rai’s Fake Bias Story
When Miso asked who her bias was, Rai pointed at Neulchan, just to make Dogyeong jealous. It worked. He ignored her texts for days, but every time she mentioned Neulchan, he’d reply in seconds. Sometimes he even scolds her. She liked it. Rai and Miso arrived for the tour, only to find Dogyeong waiting at the gates. They shared his umbrella. Rai stood under it, feeling his warmth and his scent. When they reached, they left their bags in the locker, but a man near the entrance let his eyes wander toward her chest.
The rain had left her shirt slightly damp. Rai felt uncomfortable. Without a word, Dogyeong wrapped his sweater around her shoulders and pulled her close. She could smell his body wash. Her face was burning. Pervert. When DIMPLE came on stage, Rai clapped, screamed, and even. But her mind kept drifting to where Dogyeong stood. Was he watching her? Then he leaned in and muttered, “I don’t want anyone to ask me out. It’s an annoyance, if anything,” pulling Rai closer to him. With that, her happiest day twisted into something else, ending My Fake Crush Chapter 4.

My Fake Crush Chapter 5: Give Up…
My Fake Crush Chapter 5 begins with a flashback to a year ago when Rai, Dogyeong, and Miso were walking home together after the quiz competition. Miso and Rai chatted about how much they loved the band. Well, Miso did. Rai just pretended. Along the way, they bumped into a group of boys, and soon enough, all of them were riding the subway together. Rai ended up sitting next to Dogyeong, her shoulder brushing his. She was tired, her eyelids heavy, but a sudden jolt snapped her awake. Dogyeong noticed.
Without a word, he tilted his head slightly and let hers rest on his shoulder. Her heart skipped. He told her he’d wake her up when it was time to get off and commented teasingly on her dark circles. And just like that, she was wide awake. Dogyeong could be grumpy with everyone else, but with her, he was soft. Maybe, just maybe, he liked her too. The boys sitting nearby brought up girl groups, asking Dogyeong who he liked. He blinked. Didn’t even know the names. A guy laughed and said it was obvious, his pick was sitting right beside him. Rai heard every word but didn’t dare move. Her head stayed on his shoulder, heart frozen in place.
Rai’s Heartbreak
But then Dogyeong said he didn’t believe in dating. He found it annoying. Rai’s smile faltered. How had she missed that? He wasn’t into dating at all. That meant… he would never be her boyfriend. Ever. The realization sank in like a heavy stone. All this time, she’d let herself hope, let herself feel. She gripped the hem of her skirt. Good thing she never confessed. That would’ve been a disaster. So she decided she would give it all up. Her crush, her fangirling. Or at least, she tried.
Back to the present.
Neulchan kept being nice, almost too nice. Snacks, sweet words, even apologies. She couldn’t understand why Dogyeong hated him so much. Neulchan was trying. But then again, why did Dogyeong’s opinion matter? It wasn’t like he liked her. Her head rested on her study desk. A whole year, and she still hadn’t moved on. Still hoping. The next morning, Rai decided it was time. She had to stop crushing on Dogyeong. The problem was… she didn’t know how. My Fake Crush Chapter 5 ends as she reached the school gates, there he was, waiting for her. Again. She was late.

My Fake Crush Chapter 6: Between Dimples and Distance
My Fake Crush Chapter 6 begins with Rai stumbling through the school gates, her bag bouncing against her hunched back. Dogyeong spotted her and let out a sigh. Without a word, he stepped in front of her, reached out, and yanked the bag from her shoulder. He slung it over his own like he’d done it a hundred times before. Her posture was terrible lately, and it was probably because she was always carrying the weight of her indecision, like it was bricks. She hadn’t slept. All night, she’d been debating whether or not to go on the backstage tour with Neulchan. She didn’t know what to do.
Before she could say anything, Miso’s voice pierced the hallway, sharp and loud, calling out for her to submit the permission slip. Rai froze in her tracks, eyes wide, panic rising. She waved her hands wildly, gesturing for Miso to stop, to lower her voice, to say nothing more. Too late. Dogyeong’s head turned toward them. He asked what was going on, and Miso, oblivious, told him flatly that Rai hadn’t submitted it yet because she was still deciding if she wanted to go on the Neulchan backstage tour. Dogyeong scoffed and, with a sudden, sharp movement, threw Rai’s bag to the ground. He told her he didn’t know her anymore. That he couldn’t recognize who she was becoming. Absurdly immature. He reminded her that he hadn’t been joking when he told her to choose. Rai opened her mouth, uncertain and aching.
Who Is More Important?
Dogyeong’s “Me!” and Rai’s “Neulchan!” They said it at the same time. Miso flatly said Dogyeong has a crush on Rai, because there was no other reason to act like this. Rai reached out and pulled Miso back before anything else could spiral. Dogyeong didn’t say another word. It hadn’t always been like this. He remembered first grade. How they’d been paired together, side by side. Rai had always been quiet, too quiet. She never spoke up, never said no. Everyone used her for that. Her snacks, her notes, her time. And she let them. Dogyeong had to step in for her again and again. That’s why he made it his mission from that day on to make her sensible.
Back in the present, he was by the bins outside. He still believed this was all Miso’s doing, getting Rai into the idol fandom mess. If it weren’t for Miso, Rai wouldn’t be obsessing over some performer she barely knew. She wouldn’t be losing herself. Then he saw them. Rai and Neulchan slipped into the side door of the old building. Alone. Together. Something twisted in Dogyeong’s chest.
If Rai ended up liking someone like Neulchan, it would ruin her. She’d get pulled into his world like a thread into a machine, stop thinking for herself, and eventually get hurt. In a flash, Dogyeong was in front of her. His hand slammed against the wall beside her head, blocking her path. She gasped. “Hey, dimples,” he said, voice low, heavy with things he couldn’t say out loud. “Didn’t I tell you to watch it?” ending My Fake Crush Chapter 6.
