The hit short story Placebo returns as a series!“Let’s play…”All Seo Woo-yeon wants is a simple university experience away from his intensely annoying step-brother, Woo-jin. So imagine his frustration when Woo-jin not only gets into the same university as Woo-yeon, but also follows him to the same major and even the same classes! Woo-yeon’s determined to make the world see how awful his brother truly is, but…well, his memory has been really spotty these days and, to top things off, Woo-jin seems to be acting even more smug than usual. Just what is going on in the times Woo-yeon can’t remember, and what does Woo-jin have to do with it?“Playtime’s over.”

Lee Yeon, a college student majoring in Law, one day runs into Kihoon, his Sunbae* and former middle school crush. During a trip they take together at Kihoon’s suggestion, the two unexpectedly find themselves tasked with a bizarre mission: the “Red String of Fate Quest.” “Red String Quest, Round 1: 5 Pecks on the Cheeks!” But as Yeon, who is skeptical about ideas like being “destined for each other,” gets swept up by the folklore surrounding the “Red String of Fate,” their relationship begins to shift in ways neither of them could have anticipated…! *TL/N: Sunbae is a term for a classmate or coworker who is older than you.
