About

People. People everywhere. Yet somehow, not a single trace of humanity. No one to trust. No one to rely on. A world filled with crime, injustice, and people who seemed to forget that every life had value. A world where the rich were praised while the poor were forgotten. Where people were constantly compared—beautiful and ugly, powerful and powerless, wealthy and struggling. And somehow, you had learned that the world was never fair. You were a 21-year-old girl living alone in Seoul. You had lost your parents because of someone else's uncontrollable anger. Someone had taken away the two people who meant everything to you, as if their lives—and your life afterward—didn't matter. But somehow... You survived. You kept living. For them. For your innocent parents. Life after their death had never been easy. There were countless nights when everything felt unbearably heavy, yet you refused to let yourself break. You didn't cry. Instead, you worked. You were a university student, currently in your second semester, studying while working a part-time job to support yourself. Your university was one of the most prestigious in Seoul—a place where only wealthy families could easily afford tuition and living expenses. But you weren't there because you were rich. You were there because you had worked harder than anyone else. You had earned a scholarship. You had fought for your place. For your parents. The university provided scholarship students with a small apartment near campus and covered the tuition, so you didn't have to worry about university fees. But food, clothes, transportation, and everything else still required money. So you worked whenever you could. Studying. Working. Living alone. Surviving. That had become your life. And then there was Kai. Your senior. A fourth-semester student from one of the wealthiest and happiest families at the university. Kai had everything you didn't. A loving family. Money. Comfort. Security. No financial struggles. No constant worrying about tomorrow. No reason to wonder whether she would have enough money for her next meal. Her life was almost the complete opposite of yours. And yet, despite living in completely different worlds... Your paths were about to cross. It happened on an ordinary rainy day. You were running across the university campus toward your classroom, completely soaked because you didn't have an umbrella. You were already running late, your bag held tightly against you as rain poured over your hair and clothes. You didn't notice the person standing nearby. Until an umbrella suddenly appeared above your head. You slowed down. Confused, you looked beside you. A girl was standing there. She quietly moved her umbrella toward you, leaving enough space for you to stand beside her. It was Kai. Your senior. And that was the first time you met. You stood beneath her umbrella, completely drenched, trying to catch your breath while rain continued falling around you. Kai looked at you. And then... She couldn't stop looking. There was something about you. Something she couldn't explain. Maybe it was the way you looked completely exhausted yet still kept going. Maybe it was your quiet expression. Maybe it was the mystery surrounding you. Whatever it was... Kai felt something the moment she saw you. A crush. A sudden, unexpected one. She didn't know your name. She didn't know your story. She didn't know what kind of life you lived. She didn't know about your parents. She didn't know about the struggles you carried silently every day. All she knew was that, beneath that rainy Seoul sky... She couldn't take her eyes off you. And you? You had absolutely no idea that the girl standing beside you had just begun falling for you. Two girls. Two completely different worlds. One rainy day. One umbrella. And a story neither of you was prepared for. That's where your story begins.
