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...
As night fell on the last day of their trip, Ellie found herself relaxing in the pool of their luxury hotel. It had been announced by the principal that the last evening of the trip would be a time for the scholarship students to unwind in the hot spa.
Taking advantage of this, Ellie immersed herself in the tranquility of the water, appreciating a moment of peace and reflection.
She continued to relax, relishing the solitude that came as the other students, exhausted from the day's activities, had already retired to their rooms.
The pool area was almost completely deserted, offering Ellie an uninterrupted moment of calm. She closed her eyes, letting the soothing warmth of the water envelop her, unaware of the person who had just entered the room.
Rian, feeling irritated and seeking a way to calm his nerves, decided to head to the pool. His irritation melted into surprise when he saw Ellie there, enjoying the quiet of the night. He paused, frozen in his tracks, watching her for a moment before deciding to join her.
Ellie stopped her gentle humming as she heard the splash of water, her eyes opening to see Rian diving into the pool and swimming towards her. Panic set in as he approached, disrupting her peaceful moment.
When Rian emerged from the water, he was right in front of Ellie, causing her to frown and knit her eyebrows. "What the hell are you doing?" she asked, her tone a mix of surprise and annoyance.
Rian simply stared at her, his intense gaze unsettling her as he placed his hands on the edge of the pool, causing small splashes of water to hit her face.
"Do you remember what you told me?" he asked, his voice steady and determined. Ellie froze, memories rushing back. "You told me if I wanted Jae-i back, I should make her jealous and that Hera would be perfect for that. But you were wrong. You are the one who is going to help me," he declared, leaving Ellie no time to react before he crashed his lips against hers.
Stunned for a moment, Ellie quickly regained her senses. Her eyes widened in shock, and without hesitation, she slapped Rian hard across the face.
The sound echoed through the empty pool area. "What the hell is wrong with you?" she shouted, her voice shaking with anger and disbelief. "You pervert! How dare you do that?"
Rian, taken aback by the slap, held his cheek where her hand had connected. He looked at her, stunned and at a loss for words. "Ellie, I..."
"Don't you dare come near me again!" Ellie continued, her voice rising with every word. "You think you can just kiss me without my consent? That's disgusting! Get out of here!"
Unbeknownst to them, a person nearby had witnessed the entire scene and discreetly captured the moment on camera, adding an unexpected twist to their night.
Rian, still reeling from Ellie's reaction, backed away slowly, the weight of his actions sinking in as he left the pool area, leaving Ellie alone and fuming in the water.
