Okay so my fav all time trope is like... the opposite of fake dating where the couple is actually dating and they’re not even hiding it, but for some reason everyone around them does not realize they are dating and are trying to play match maker.
And the couple is just waiting for everyone to realize that not only are they dating, but they’re also fcking married. Even funnier if the couple starts playing along and act dumb about it. Now ur prob like where is kiwi going with this. Okay hear me out
YJH and KDJ met when they were young, dated in college, and quietly got married after graduation w/o a wedding ceremony bc this was before yjh’s success. KDJ then works at minosoft & YJH goes to become a pro-gamer, now kr’s # 1 pro-gamer in terms of skills, looks, and popularity.
Neither of them are very public about their personal life. The only one who knows abt their relationship is HSY bc she’s KDJ’s best friend and is the one who officiated them. They actually have the same friend circle except KDJ ans YJH have very different schedules and
Any day off that aligns, they like spending time together just the two of them. But when one has the day off and the other doesnt, they spend time w their friends w/o the other around. So everyone thinks they havent met. But they thought that everyone knew they know e/o
So basically tl;dr everyone in the friend circle knows each other, but they all thinj KDJ and YJH have never met bc those two are never hanging with them at the same time bc of their conflicting schedule. But like... they mention them around each other.
So like if KDJ isn’t there, they still mention him in convos now and then around YJH, and vice versa. So YJH and KDJ just thinks that everyone knows that they know each other. Okay so thats the foundation of the main story idea. Moving on
So Minosoft scored a collab event with YJH’s gaming company, where YJH and KDJ are partnered up for a user experience project. YJH plays and tests the beta, and KDJ is in charge of recording the data and then working w YJH and his team to promote the new game.
YSA works w KDJ and ofc she knows YJH too bc of their friend circle, but she thinks this is the first time they’re meeting. So she’s talking to KDJ like omg you’ll get to see YJH and KDJ doesnt think too deep abt what she actually meant bc he’s just like yeah, I get to spend
more time w my husband now (and ok i know same sex marriage isnt legal yet in kr but let me have this). So he’s like, yeah Im excited for this partnership (YSA thinking its their first time meeting). So KDJ and YJH’s relationship is a lot of bantering, and bc YSA
Thinks its their first time meeting, when the two are bickering, she misread the situation as them clashing bc its weird to read it as them being familiar w each other, they /just/ met afterall. And due to the project, they have more time together which meant that
They can now use some days to hang out together w their friend group... together. So like theres a lunch plans at Uriel’s & before they show up, everyone be like oh wow this is going to be kdj and yjh’s first meeting, but YSA is like oh actually they’ve already met bc our company
is collaborating. So they show up at at Uriel’s place, but not at the same time bc YJH had to go drop Mia off as her friend’s place. So when YJH comes, him and KDJ are banter almost right off the bat and everyone is shocked at their chemistry. Like they’ve never seen YJH so
talkative, and KDJ is being cheekier than usual. So even tho they’re bantering and KDJ is making comments on how YJH is like a stupid sunfish and YJH is calling KDJ annoying, there’s these flirtatious undertones. So now everyone got gears spinning in their heads
Now there’s a group chat w/o those two and HSY is just losing her shit bc everyone is trying to play cupid to get these two together (planing more events where KDJ and YJH can meet up). Or give little nudges, ie them bantering and LJH being like “wow can you two stop flirting”
And ofc KDJ gets a little embarrassed so he’s like “we’re not flirting!” as a response and YJH just rolls his eyes. And everyone is like omg these two are so flirty w e/o, and HSY is just yeah, they sure are. Adds fuel to the fire and sits back to watch. But its not like
kdj and yjh hide they fact they’re in a relationship. Like yjh would sometimes presses himself to kdj’s side if they’re standing or sitting next to each other, or kdj would casually drape himself over yjh sometimes and everyone is just WOW THEY’RE GETTING SO CLOSE SO FAST
THIS IS A GOOD THING!! MAYBE THEY WILL REALIZE THEIR FEELINGS. And like kdj loves complimenting yjh too but in aroundabout, teasing way, so the others pick up on it and is like omfg kdj DEFINITELY has the hots for yjh
Sometimes the others try to pry abt it, like SWK asking KDJ about if KDJ is interested in dating and KDJ is like no, not really (bc he’s married) or LJH asking YJH if he’s interested in anyone in their group but YJH got moody and said no (annoyed that they would think such a
thing when he’s MARRIED). So they just think those two are in denial, but what they meant is that they’re not interested bc they’re already married and HSY is just having the time of her life watching it all unfold
But yeah anyways this is my idea romcom. TL;DR KDJ and YJH are married, but their friends did not realized and are trying to set them up.
Uriel spamming the group w photos where she was out shopping and saw them on a date (not realizing theyre on a date), and is like THEY’RE HANGING OUT TOGETHER GUYS OMG DO U THINK ONE OF THEM FINALLY CONFESSED
This au’s end is them being able to have their wedding ceremony w their friends and loved ones, bc when they first got married it was when they were younger and couldnt afford rings or a ceremony 🥺
