SUMMARY:
Taehyung, a seemingly confident and likable high school senior with a peculiar affinity for skirts, is plagued by the school's menace and local bully, Jeongguk, a hostile and loathed enigma that spares no one from his harassment. As the severity of Jeongguk's torment escalates, so does Taehyung's desperation to stop it. During a critical moment of Jeongguk's rage and a frantic need to snap him out of it, Taehyung recalls a psychological trick he read about.
He tells Jeongguk he's in love with him.
The false declaration gets an unexpected response.
