SONG AREUM JUST WANTED TO survive another year back at Jooshin High—a prestigious school, where the elite thrived and the underprivileged struggled to simply be seen. As a scholarship student, her only goal was to keep her head down and survive the condescending attitudes of her peers.
Yet, she couldn't shake the unsettling chill that lingered in the halls of Jooshin, a constant reminder of the disappearance of Kang In-han, the scholarship student who had mysteriously vanished the previous year.
Though the school and its students had tried to erase In-han from their memories, rumors swirled that his fate was tied to his involvement with the wrong crowd—Ri-an and his crew, suggesting that he had come too close to uncovering secrets that were very much meant to stay hidden.
Areum had always been drawn to In-hans situation, wondering what had really happened to the Kang boy as a body had never been discovered, and therefore hadn't led to anywhere.
So when her journalism class presents her with an opportunity to take on a real-life investigation for a project, she decides to investigate In-Han's case, unaware of the treacherous path it will lead her down, and the web of lies she'd have to navigate . . .
