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...
Just as his expression began to shift, a call erupted from his phone. He cursed under his breath and stood up, pulling the phone from his pocket and stepping out of the room.
Left alone, she lay on the bed, the room spinning slightly as she struggled to stay conscious. Unbeknownst to her, a young man, already deep in his cups, stumbled into the scene. Hera, trying her best to comfort him, was pushed gently away as he drowned his sorrows in more alcohol.
Earlier, he had witnessed something that made his blood boil: In-ha and Jae-i kissing.
The sight had been too much for him, and he had been drinking ever since, trying to drown the image from his mind.
As his frustration and intoxication grew, he staggered through the house, looking for a place to be alone.
He stumbled upon an unlocked room and peered inside, spotting a girl sleeping soundly on the bed. His hazy mind couldn't process much, but he was drawn to her.
He couldn't help but let his eyes wander from her legs up to her face, a strange mix of anger and desire clouding his thoughts.
With a groggy determination, he began to unbutton his blazer, letting it fall to the floor. He removed his shirt, the cool air hitting his skin, but he barely felt it.
The girl stirred slightly in her sleep, making him freeze for a moment. Then, driven by a reckless urge, he moved closer to her and pressed his lips to her neck, kissing her softly.
She shifted, her body responding unconsciously to his touch. His hands roamed, and he kissed her neck again, his breath hot against her skin. She murmured something unintelligible, her eyelids fluttering, but she didn't wake.
Rian slowly looked at the girl who was drunkenly sleeping, her identity becoming clearer as she began to stir. It was Ellie, the scholarship student. However, Rian's mind was consumed by alcohol and jealousy, causing him to lean in and kiss her.
At first, his actions were rough, driven by a mix of turbulent emotions. However, as Ellie responded to his kiss, Rian's demeanor softened.
He deepened the kiss, his hands caressing her sides, moving down to her legs and up to her chest, eliciting a soft moan from her.
Suddenly, Rian's phone buzzed with a message. Startled, he pulled away from Ellie and glanced at the screen. It was Hera, asking where he was.
Guilt flooded him as he realized how far he had gone in his drunken stupor. Hastily, he dressed himself, stealing one last glance at Ellie before silently slipping out of the room.
Outside, Hera was waiting anxiously. "Rian, what are you doing?" she asked, concern etched on her face.
Rian stumbled over his words, his mind still clouded from the alcohol. "I... I just needed some air," he mumbled, avoiding her gaze.
Hera sighed, shaking her head. "You can't keep doing this to yourself," she said softly, touching his arm gently. "Let's get you back to the party."
