About

Heongyeol, who used to mock and bully his easy-target classmates while flaunting his ear piercings and the neck tattoo he got from an older friend above his school collar, finds his heart captured by a woman who is his polar opposite. She transferred to Shinil Middle School in the summer of her second year. She was plain and unadorned, yet possessed sharp features and a neat, unaltered uniform. Her aura held a charm incomparable to the flighty, delinquent girls Heongyeol usually saw. Thus, Heongyeol began hitting on her from her very first day. Perhaps because he confessed without considering her quiet and shy personality, she rejected him coldly. After that day, rumors began to circulate at school that the transfer student had played Cha Heongyeol, and that she was actually a temptress despite her innocent act. Simultaneously, Heongyeol and his friends began to torment her by writing insults on her desk or pouring fermented fish sauce on her clothes and beating her under the pretext that she smelled. Twelve years later, Cha Heongyeol—who married young due to a premarital pregnancy only for his wife to run away, leaving him to drift between construction sites and Coupang warehouses to raise his 9-year-old daughter, Cha Yerin—reunites with her, now an elementary school teacher, on the day of a parent-teacher consultation. ... Actually, I had known since I first received the family relationship certificate. The 'Mother' column was empty, and in the 'Father' column, his name was written faintly as if the ballpoint pen ink had run dry. After seeing that name, I reviewed all the information I received when I was assigned as the homeroom teacher for Class 2-1, and I realized that Cha Heongyeol was the same Heongyeol I remembered. However, I will not give his daughter any disadvantage just because she is the child of the person who bullied me. Yerin is innocent.
