What happens when you're thrown into a fictional world...not as the main character, but as the main character's best friend? This Korean manhwa puts a twist on romance and proves that falling in love is more than just a trope. A SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Every internet novel has the usual cast: a gorgeous heroine, handsome boys vying for her attention, and a unremarkable best friend at the heroine’s side.

Dani, an ordinary student and avid reader, is all too familiar with these tropes. But she never imagined that one day she’d wake up in one herself! But how did she get here? Her new fictional world is complete with a beautiful best friend named Yeoryung, and four impossibly good-looking boys who all happen to be in her class...and are possibly love interests. Love interests that weren’t originally meant for her. Dani knows that nothing good will happen to her as the side character, so she is determined to stay out of the way! But what happens when this fictional world ends up leading Dani to the first real friends she's ever known? With no idea how to get back home, Dani decides she’ll just have to play her part—no matter what plot twists come her way.
