I Can’t Be This Stupid

Imagine transferring to a school where only the elite can attend, the kind of place that screams high-class living. That's exactly what happens to our protagonist, Doha, as she finds herself enrolled in none other than Gukje Island High School. This prestigious school is not only known for its top-tier education but also for its unique system of assigning dormitory buildings and room sizes according to ranks. And just her luck, Doha ends up encountering the one and only Rowoon, the school's top celebrity who has been enjoying the perks of the biggest VIP room for three years.

Rowoon seems to have it all - the looks, the athleticism, the intelligence, and even loyalty. He's the epitome of perfection, or so it seems. But, as fate would have it, he has one major flaw that he carefully hides from the world. You see, Rowoon is a dating dummy, clueless when it comes to understanding women's psychology. It's a secret he keeps well-guarded... that is, until he crosses paths with Doha.

Here's where things take an interesting turn. Doha's twin sister happens to be a huge fan of Rowoon, and she requests a favor from Doha. Using their special birthstone, which allows them to communicate through their thoughts, Doha and her sister share news and updates about Rowoon. Imagine the possibilities! But one day, disaster strikes. Doha discovers that her sister's precious birthstone has somehow ended up in Rowoon's possession, and she is determined to retrieve it.

Their lives become intertwined, and what follows is a rollercoaster of events and emotions. Just when Doha believes she can finally live her dream of a quiet high school life, she receives a notice of eviction from the dormitory. Nowhere to go, she is left with no choice but to turn to Rowoon for help. And wouldn't you know it, Rowoon finds himself facing his own challenges when a charming rival sets their eyes on the VIP room.

In a twist of fate, Doha and Rowoon strike a deal. They decide to exchange what they need from each other, leading to a fascinating arrangement. Doha becomes Rowoon's secret dating consultant, helping him navigate the treacherous waters of romance, while a full-scale cohabitation romance begins to blossom between them.
