Eunnie

Momo (short, brown skin, dark hair, heterochromia) is smart, hard-working, sweet, and helpful - so much so that her best friend Kayla worries that others take advantage of her. And Kayla is concerned when Momo develops a friendship (crush? mutual crush? relationship?) with tall, short-haired PG, who has a reputation for sleeping around. But PG and Momo's friendship does develop into a mutually caring one, and they're both attracted to each other - but a few misunderstandings provide hurdles before they can achieve romantic happiness.

PG and her family (including younger brother Henry) are coded Asian (Vietnamese?), and PG's ex Soyeun appears Korean.
