At South Korea's most prestigious high school, a scandal is brewing - but its privileged students will do anything to silence the truth. When a scholarship student enters the fold, he's determined to crack the school's impenetrable façade and reveal...
"Wow, what is this place?" In-ha exclaimed, looking around in awe. I glanced up from my book, just as a teacher approached us.
"Hello," In-ha greeted, while I bowed politely.
"Scholarship students are not allowed here," she said bluntly, leaving me confused.
"This is the English class, isn't it?" In-ha asked, glancing around.
"Standard A is at the end of the hall. This is Special A," she replied, practically shooing us away. I looked down, ready to leave, when a group of students entered, nearly bumping into me.
"These damn scholarship students," one of them muttered nastily. I lowered my gaze and tried to exit, accidentally bumping into someone. I looked up and saw Ri-an staring down at me nonchalantly.
"Sorry," I mumbled, bowing before walking away to the end of the hallway.
When I entered the correct room, the students looked at me with confusion. In-ha followed, still looking around. I quickly found a vacant seat and sat down.
In-ha, however, seemed to be struggling to find a place to sit. Everyone was giving him nasty looks and clearly didn’t want to share their space.
"Here," I called out, pointing to the seat beside me. He smiled and sat down comfortably.
"No bag hook," he remarked, looking at me as I continued reading my book. He sighed in boredom

On the other side, Rian, Hera, and Woojin sat comfortably on the luxurious couch. Woojin spoke up, "I'm all done. You have one more, right?" he asked Rian.
Rian checked his watch. "Yes, 4:00 PM, social studies," he replied. Just then, Woojin received a call, smirked, and stood up to leave the room, causing Hera to look at him confusedly. Now, she was alone with Rian.
"Woojin's been acting weird lately. Is he dating someone?" Hera asked Rian, who was busy with his phone. "And is Jae-i still ghosting you?" she added, making Rian freeze.
Hera bit her lip and shifted to sit next to Rian, holding a necklace and indicating she needed help putting it on. Rian obliged, and as he did, Hera leaned in close, their faces almost touching.
"If you two haven’t made things official, maybe I should make a move on the king while the queen is away," she said shamelessly, placing her hand on Rian’s leg.
"How do I get that checkmate? I worked the whole break," she said, starting to caress his leg. "Take a good look. Did my work pay off?" she asked.
"I don't need to look. I'm well aware that you have a body that models would kill for," he said, gently pushing her away. "So stop messing around," he added, making Hera look at him with dissatisfaction.
"I'm not messing around. You don't have to be so direct," she said, standing up and grabbing her purse. "Where are you going?" he asked.
"I have plans. Not fleeing from humiliation," Hera said, leaving him alone.
