"I would take a bullet for you just to prove my love
Only to find out you're the one holding the gun"
In the world of college drama club, love is just another well-rehearsed line.
At least, that's what Ishan Kishan tells himself — He's dating Shreyas Iyer — the most charming guy on campus, the kind everyone looks at twice. And for a while, things felt perfect. But now? Shreyas barely acknowledges the relationship. He flirts with other people and calls it harmless. He makes Ishan feel like too much.
When casting for the college's annual queer love story puts Ishan opposite his so-called rival, Shubman Gill — the cold, unreadable golden boy— things go off-script fast.
Because Shubman? He's not just rude.
He's not just harsh.
He's not just the only person who doesn't fall for Ishan's charm.
He's in love with Ishan. And he has been, in silence, for years.
Rehearsals blur the line between acting and truth. One kiss changes everything — and suddenly, Ishan doesn't know what's real anymore.
Was it all just performance?
Or did they both just forget the script?
