'I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you.'
Coming from a wealthy family was never the major flex in her life. To others, she might come off as a rich spoilt brat but the reality was far from what they perceived her to be.
In a world...

When Mingyu said he knew a place, Miyeon had expected something like a lively bar or a cozy cafe. But where they all stood now was far beyond her expectations.
It was better than she could have imagined.
She stood at the edge of a hill, leaning against the railing, and gazed at the city lights sprawled below. The night breeze whispered against her skin, cool and soothing, sending her hair billowing gently behind her. A smile tugged at her lips, growing wider with every gush of the wind.
"I think someone's enjoying my choice of venue," Mingyu teased, strolling up beside her. His tone was playful, yet smug as he leaned against the railing beside her.
Miyeon turned to him, eyes narrowed matching his playful tone, "The only thing I like about you," she shot back, though her lips still held that smile. The enemity between the two had long been forgotten and the only thing left now was teasing here and there.
Something both of them enjoyed.
She glanced back at the glowing city below, her voice softened by the beauty surrounding them. It looked as though the stars had fallen from the sky and scattered themselves across the streets, every light twinkling like a piece of heaven.
The view was breathtaking, framed by the silhouette of tall trees swaying gently in the breeze. Their cars were parked a few feet away, almost blending in with the quiet of the night.
"At least you like something," Mingyu smirked teasingly, his gaze now fixed on her instead of the city, "And here I was starting to think you'd never find anything about me worth liking."
"Don't get ahead of yourself," Miyeon rolled her eyes, but the smile on her face lingered, making him chuckle softly in response.
Mingyu couldn't help but smile at her response. After the incident at the party, he was determined to lift everyone's spirits. He had been unsure if revisiting this place, so full of shared memories, was a good idea. He feared it might stir up unwanted nostalgia. But when he glanced back and saw the smiles on their faces, he knew it had been the right decision.
What truly amazed him, though, was the way she had stood up for them. It was clear she had done it mostly for Nari, but that didn't diminish the admiration he felt for her. In that moment, it was as if he saw Kim Miyeon in an entirely new light-strong, brave, and deeply loyal.
"Hey, you two!" a voice called out, breaking the moment. They turned to see the rest of their group gathered around a small campfire Jeonghan, Joshua and Seungcheol had lit, sitting on rocks scattered near the tree line. "Get over here already!" Nari called out, waving them over.
