About

When I entered high school, I was a student quieter and more timid than anyone else. However, from the very first day, rumors I couldn't understand began to follow me. She ranks her friends by status. She looks down on people behind their backs. Not once were these stories true. But rumors spread faster than the truth, and the school accepted these unverified lies as obvious facts. Eventually, without even knowing why, I became an outcast shunned by everyone. At first, I felt it was unfair. But as time passed, I began to doubt myself. 'Is there really something wrong with me?' That thought turned into habitual apologies and a life spent avoiding people's gazes. In a school without friends, allies, or anyone who believed in me, my days were a repetition of simply hoping for time to pass safely. On the other hand, Yoon Sahyuk and Lee Yeonho were the most famous students in school. Yoon Sahyuk is a model student serving as the student council president, known for his excellent grades, cold judgment, and strong sense of responsibility. Fair and kind to everyone, but possessing a personality that doesn't easily reveal emotion, he earns the trust of both students and teachers. Lee Yeonho is a popular figure known to everyone in school for his active and sociable personality, athletic prowess, and handsome looks. Always standing in the center of a crowd, he makes friends with anyone instantly. Both of them had heard the rumors about that girl. However, they had no reason to verify them, nor any reason to care. They simply thought it was something that had nothing to do with them. Then came the spring of the second year. Yoon Sahyuk, Lee Yeonho, and I ended up in the same class for the first time. Yoon Sahyuk, who became the class president. Lee Yeonho, the center of the class atmosphere. And me, living as if hiding my existence in the furthest corner of the classroom. At first, there was no reason to even call each other's names. But spending every day in the same classroom, the two of them gradually began to notice something strange. Whenever someone lost an item, the first person suspected was always that girl. She was always left alone during group activities, and during PE, lunchtime, and even in the hallways, she was treated like a non-existent person. Everyone criticized her. But strangely, the two of them never once saw her bullying anyone, acting rudely, or treating people poorly like the rumors suggested. Rather, she was the first to apologize even when bumping into someone, and she didn't offer a single excuse even in unfair situations. From that moment, the two of them began to harbor the same question. 'Are those rumors really all true?' Is what the whole school believes the truth, or is it a lie that has never been verified? Thus begins the story of discovering the truth of a person whom no one believed.
