Life's harsh realities often shatter our illusions of equality, leaving us to pick up the pieces of our shattered dreams. But facing this cruel truth head-on can be a liberating experience, a baptism by fire that toughens us for the real world.

High school, that pivotal phase of life, is where fantasy meets reality, and the fairy tales of childhood are ruthlessly dismantled. The world, it turns out, isn't always fair or ideal.

Social hierarchies, forged in the fire of privilege and wealth, cast long shadows, influencing destinies from birth.

At Korea's elite International School (KIS), the contrast between haves and have-nots was stark. Children of politicians, CEOs, and those who were born with silver spoons, their family's wealth and influence cushioning their every fall...

These scions of power lived in a rarefied world, where every move was calculated, every relationship a strategic alliance.

Lunchtime at KIS was a far cry from the carefree breaks of ordinary schools.

Here, students were honed for business, their shares and stocks traded even before they took their first breath. The cafeteria, a sophisticated hub of intrigue, hummed with tension. One misstep could cost millions...

Nobles' families demanded their children uphold their reputations. In this atmosphere, ignorance was bliss; the less you knew, the better you'd survive...

Innocence was a luxury few could afford. Those who wore it were either masterful actors or blissfully oblivious.

KIS was a world of alliances, not friendships. Decades-old business ties bound students together, their relationships a delicate dance of profit and loss... The chairman's daughter dated the CEO's son, while the director's nephew courted the prominent shareholder's sister. Even the mayor's son and police department head's son were "friends" - all part of the elaborate game of power.

As Faith navigated the cafeteria, her every move drew attention. Humans are curious creatures, and the allure of the rich and powerful was irresistible...

Jimin and Jungkook's dealings with Faith had set tongues wagging; even the nobles, masters of poker faces, were affected by each other's moves.

In this high-stakes world, one misstep could topple empires. The nobles' circle was small, interconnected, and unforgiving. Alliances forged and broken with each passing day, the price of power was constant vigilance.

Faith's sushi excursion wasn't the worst-case scenario - yet. But in KIS's world, complacency was a luxury no one could afford...
The game of thrones had begun, and only the shrewdest players would survive.

Hence, it is only natural for them to be suspicious about her
And the sneaky little stares were the obvious aftermath.

Faith, an unassuming student, didn't fit the mold of KIS's elite. Her mother's modest income, though respectable, paled in comparison to the wealth surrounding her. Yet, being spotted with the school's heartthrobs had ignited a spark, drawing unwanted attention.
