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...
Inside, Ms. Han was sitting on the couch, facing him. Woojin sighed, realizing that she had come because he hadn't been answering her calls.
"The car is flawless," he said, to which Ms. Han replied, "I didn't see that coming."
"I've already gotten rid of it. It could put us in danger, and that car—" he started, but Ms. Han interrupted him. "I don't know what came over me. I thought you might be avoiding me. My emotions are all over the place; I didn't know what to do," she confessed.
"I don't think we share the same feelings," Woojin said, making Ms. Han pause for a moment. "Your emotions might be all over the place," he added, leaving them both in silence.
"I know this isn't love, and I know you would never be mine," she said quietly, her voice filled with resignation. "But I'm still a human, and it hurts," she added, tearing up.
"No matter how hurt you are, that’s not something you can just take back. Have you forgotten?" he said, looking at Ms. Han seriously.
"No, how could I forget? That car has remnants of our time together, and our secret must remain hidden," she said, making Woojin realize something. "Did you hurt her? Ellie?" he asked, his voice tinged with suspicion.
Ms. Han scoffed. "It's Hera, isn't it? The person in your heart," she said, attempting to change the topic.
"Don't change the subject and don't indulge in unnecessary fantasies," Woojin responded sharply. Ms. Han stood up angrily and grabbed her bag.
"Ms. Han, let this be enough now," he said, making Ms. Han stop and fight back her tears.
"See you around the school, student Lee Woojin," she said, leaving the room and Woojin sighed in distress.

The next day, Rian decided to go to class to talk to Jae-i about the video that had been sent to him. As he entered the room, he walked towards Jae-i and they found themselves on the rooftop, seeking privacy.
"There’s something we need to discuss," he said, his tone serious.
"What is it?" Jae-i asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Last year, at the vacation home, someone filmed us," Rian revealed, making Jae-i look down in concern. Rian took her hand gently and said, "Don't worry about it, Jae-i. I've dealt with it and there will be no issue."
"Who sent it to you?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
"I'm still looking for them. Just stay by my side and I'll handle it," he reassured her, his confidence bringing a small smile to Jae-i's face. She hugged him, feeling comforted by his words.
Just then, Rian's phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was the hospital calling. He gently pushed Jae-i away, urgency in his movements. "I have to take this," he said, and without another word, he left her on the rooftop, racing down the stairs to answer the call.
