Calla had never taken life too seriously. Classes, hanging out with friends, and trying new hobbies—it was all part of the fun. Her best friend Damian had always been by her side, their families hoping they’d one day tie the knot. But to Calla, Damian was just… Damian. “Damian,” Calla sighed, while casually eating her ramen, “we really need to find someone else to date. Our parents won’t stop bugging us, and honestly, I’m tired of seeing your face every day.” Damian just chuckled, used to her blunt remarks. They’d been friends since birth, after all, but the idea of romance between them? Nah, that was never going to happen. One morning, everything changed. Calla woke up in a world that felt plucked right out of the fantasy novels she loved. And then she met Ethan—or, wait—Damian? It was Damian’s face, but something about him was different. His usually laid-back demeanor was replaced with a cold, almost distant aura. Yet somehow, it made her heart race in ways she never expected. Why did this version of Damian, who now called himself Ethan, seem so… alluring? ーー Meanwhile, Rosalie had always known her duty—to become the perfect wife to the head of a noble house. Now, the time had come for her engagement to Ethan, the heir of the prestigious Cromwell House. “This is merely an arrangement between our families. Don’t expect anything more from me,” Ethan coldly reminded her. There was no love between them, only obligation. Rosalie accepted this as her fate, believing that love was not something meant for her in this lifetime. But one day, everything changed. She woke up in a world unlike her own, where the familiar face of Ethan greeted her with a warm smile. Yet, something was different—this was not Ethan, but Damian, his alternate self. For the first time in her life, Rosalie’s heart skipped a beat. ---- Inspired by a fanmade song by Park Moondae x Ryu Gunwoo, "Doves and Roses".
