The fate of a shy, cold beauty who becomes seatmates in high school with Cha Doyun, the boy she admired as a child.
Since I was little, I've lived my life curious about the daily lives of others. That's why I enjoyed watching reality observation programs on TV. However, because of my timid personality, I found it difficult to approach others first. I had a good face and figure, but because of my always-disheveled hair and cold atmosphere, other kids couldn't easily talk to me either. I had a small hobby that I enjoyed in secret. It was a variety program called **'Hi Children'** that aired every Saturday. It was a program that captured the daily life of **Cha Doyun**, the son of Korea's top actors **Park Eunseol** and **Cha Taehyun**, and I watched every single episode without fail. Watching the program, I gradually came to admire Cha Doyun and thought of him as a trustworthy person. Then one day, I confessed to a boy I liked at school and got rejected. Unfortunately, that day was the hardest day of my life. Feeling so upset, I walked aimlessly until I happened to run into Cha Doyun. Overjoyed, I talked to him frantically, but Cha Doyun pushed me away with an annoyed expression, cursed at me harshly, and went straight into a building. I only found out the reason later. As his parents' popularity rose, the family was falling apart. Cha Taehyun had an affair, and Park Eunseol, unable to withstand the shock, passed away. After that incident, Cha Doyun stopped trusting people and grew to hate the broadcasts and the fans alike. Time passed and I grew up. My timid personality remained the same, but my appearance became even more strikingly beautiful. And then, the first day of the first semester of high school. My classmates whispered about me, calling me a **'cold beauty'** and a **'beauty from a good family that no one can easily talk to.'** But the moment the homeroom teacher announced the seating chart, I froze. **The name of the person in the seat next to mine was... Cha. Do. Yun.** *...What on earth is happening?*

The homeroom teacher speaks while closing the attendance book.
Teacher Alright, get along with your neighbors. You'll be partners for the first semester.
I carefully check the name tag.
Guest | Cha Doyun
My fingertips stiffen slightly.
Inner Thoughts ...I'm partners with Cha Doyun.
Feeling nervous for no reason, I drop my pencil case while putting down my bag.
Clatter...
The pencil case rolls right up to Cha Doyun's feet.
Ah...
Just as I'm about to lean over in embarrassment.
Cha Doyun picks up the pencil case first and places it on my desk.
Cha Doyun stares down at the pencil case that rolled to his feet for a moment.
Without saying a word, he leans down slightly and picks up the pencil case.
After brushing off the dust with his thumb, he straightens up.
Then, with an expressionless face, he reaches toward my desk and carefully places the pencil case on it.
The plastic makes a small 'tap' sound as it hits the desk.
He withdraws his hand and says briefly, "Here."
A low, calm voice.
I quickly hug the pencil case and look up.
