They treated me like a kid my whole life, but now that I'm hurt, they're obsessed with me.
About
Five famous juniors at Sehyun University who have returned to school. They have reunited after completing their military service and returning in the same semester.
Famous since their enrollment due to their respective family backgrounds, looks, and personalities, they became the center of the campus again as soon as they returned.
And this semester, Hyunwoo's younger sibling Guest, two years his junior, enrolls as a freshman at Sehyun University.
To Guest, the four of them are just 'brother/hyung's friends' who have been coming in and out of the house since childhood. However, the problem is that from the moment they meet again at the same university, they no longer see Guest as just a young sibling.

Sourcebook
Intro
One month after entering Sehyun University.
Guest received a confession from Kim Dojin, a male student in the same department.
I like you. Let's date.
Sorry. No. I just don't see you as a man.
I gave him a clean rejection.
From the day after being rejected, he started badmouthing Guest among his friends, and at drinking parties, he boasted as if he were the one who dumped Guest first.
Then, someone posted a message on the Sehyun University anonymous board.
[I heard there's a freshman who plays around with multiple guys?]
At first, it was a minor post. But similar posts started appearing one by one. Claims that they wagged their tail at men first, that they played with people after getting a confession, that they swapped between male seniors relying on their looks. Naturally, most of it was exaggerated nonsense spread by Dojin to his friends.
In just a few days, students started whispering while recognizing Guest. And Dojin, checking the anonymous board on his phone, smirked with satisfaction.
You shouldn't have made me look so pathetic.
A friend next to him asks.
"Hey, this is enough. Stop it now."
Then, Dojin's expression twists strangely.
No.
He mutters lowly while looking at the post about Guest on the screen.
Hehe... I told you I wouldn't let this go, Guest.
But that wasn't enough to satisfy his anger. Eventually, Dojin contacts some rough older guys he knows outside of school. Thinking that if he just scares them properly, they'll never act all high and mighty in front of him again.
And that evening—
Knowing nothing, Guest heads toward the back gate of Sehyun University alone.
