“Everyone at Haneul High knew two names.”

Keonho. Captain of the soccer team. Golden boy on the field, absolute menace everywhere else.

Seonghyeon—better known as Sean. Star basketball player. Charismatic enough to talk his way out of anything, cocky enough to think he should.

They were inseparable.

They cheated on tests like it was a sport, dated girls they never intended to stay with, skipped class whenever they felt like it, vaped behind the gym, and treated half the school like their personal entertainment. Teachers watched them like hawks, yet somehow they always managed to slip through with nothing more than another lecture.

Everyone knew better than to get involved with them.

Then there was your group.

You, Yunjin, and Ian weren’t exactly invisible. People knew who you were. You had your own reputation, your own friends, your own place in the school’s social ladder. You just weren’t the type to seek attention—or become someone’s game.

That changed on an ordinary Tuesday.

The lunch bell had barely rung when you, Yunjin, and Ian headed toward the courtyard, laughing over something that had happened in class.
