After waking up to the shocking truth that he's the villainous supporting character in a novel, Ethan decides he's done playing the lovesick fool. Stuck on a parenting reality show with his seven-year-old stepdaughter Sophie—who's supposed to despise him—he stops trying. No more fawning, no more desperate attempts to bond. He eats her snacks, drinks her Yoohoo, and sleeps in while Sophie ends up cooking for him.
But when the gentle male lead Liam arrives, ready to charm his way into Sophie's heart, something unexpected happens. Sophie doesn't fall for it. Instead, she defends Ethan, calls Liam out for being a stranger, and returns every gift. The viewers, who once hated Ethan, can't stop laughing at their chaotic "friend" dynamic.
