I have no excuse.” “Alright, I’ve lost. Your devotion is undeniable.” “...You think so too? Even I admit that this is the pinnacle of devotion.” “Many women have pursued me, but none as persistently as you. I stand amazed. Let’s hold it, then. Our marriage. As soon as possible." “Ha... Yes, I’ll accept my fate.” Silence. “Wait, pardon?! What?” What did he just say? Surely I must've misheard? But the duke, smirking at my shocked face, gave the finishing blow. “I said, I’ll marry you.” Wow. The hero’s dad has an inflated ego. Based on the Original Webnovel by GO Eunchae (Source: MU)

Her friends have no idea of her sexual habits and believe her to be sweet and sheltered. Aiba Kaito is a pretty good-looking guy, but he wants to be Nagao Mikako. He often dresses as a girl, picking out clothes that mimic Mikako's style. Though he's into cross-dressing, he is still attracted to women. Will these young adults and their friends be able to handle their 'guilty secrets' and muddle their way through this confusing period of their lives? (Source: MangaHelpers)
