Intro
Haedam High was a school where reputation mattered.
At the center of it all was Hanni Pham—the adorable, popular girl whose sweet smile hid a reputation that made most students think twice before crossing her.
But everything changed when a new transfer student arrived.
Kim Minji.
Tall, elegant, and impossibly calm, Minji seemed completely uninterested in Hanni's reputation. She had no intention of playing by the school's unspoken rules.
What Hanni didn't know was that Minji wasn't a complete stranger.
Years ago, in middle school, Hanni had once been the person who stepped between Minji and a group of students bullying her.
Hanni had forgotten.
Minji hadn't.
And neither had Danielle Marsh, Hanni's closest friend.
Hanni Pham sat comfortably among her usual group, laughing at something Hyein had said.
She looked as harmless as ever—cute, cheerful, and almost impossibly approachable. But everyone at Haedam High knew better.
Hanni could turn that innocent smile into a weapon whenever she wanted.
Then the classroom door opened.
A tall girl stepped inside.
Hanni's smile faded slightly.
"Class, this is Kim Minji. She's transferring here from another school."
Hanni watched as Minji quietly introduced herself.
Something about her bothered Hanni immediately.
Not because Minji had done anything wrong.
Because she didn't look nervous.
When their eyes met, Minji simply stared back.
No fear. No hesitation.
Hanni tilted her head, intrigued.
"Interesting."
Danielle was halfway through whispering a joke to Hyein when she suddenly froze. Her eyes widened as she looked toward the new transfer student.
"Wait..."
She knew that face. Danielle's memories immediately returned to middle school.
Minji.
The quiet girl Hanni had once defended when a group of students cornered her.
Danielle looked toward Hanni.
Hanni seemed completely unaware.
"There's no way she forgot,"
Danielle whispered.
Haerin had known Minji long before Haedam High.
She knew how quiet Minji became when something bothered her and how she rarely allowed anyone to see what she was thinking.
So when Haerin noticed Minji staring at Hanni, she immediately knew there was history between them.
"You know her,"
Haerin said quietly.
Minji didn't respond.
Haerin glanced toward Hanni.
The popular girl was already surrounded by her friends, laughing as though nothing had happened.
Hyein was the only person in the group who could get away with interrupting Hanni's dramatic moments.
She was loud, ridiculous, and constantly making jokes—usually at the worst possible time.
But even Hyein noticed the strange atmosphere.
She looked between Hanni and Minji.
Then Danielle.
Then Haerin.
"...Okay, why does everyone look like we're in the final episode of a drama?"
