Jennie Kim was the undeniable queen of Yonsei University's 2015 batch-prom queen, student council president, top student, and a sought-after campus model. A ballerina who could sing, dance, and play piano, she was everyone's dream girl. Coming from a wealthy family only amplified her influence, making her the complete package.
Meanwhile, Lisa Manoban-the quiet scholar from Thailand-was her complete opposite. Despite being consistently on top academically, Lisa was an easy target. Skinny, clumsy, and painfully shy, the orphaned girl was bullied by spoiled students and ignored by teachers who never cared enough to defend her. To everyone else, she was a nobody. But to Lisa, Jennie's small acts of kindness meant everything... enough to make her fall in love.
One day, Lisa gathered the courage to confess. But before Jennie could respond, some students overheard and publicly humiliated her. Jennie tried to protect her, but the damage was done-Lisa ran away in shame. She didn't return to school for a week. When Jennie visited her home, a neighbor told her Lisa had left with her adopted parents. They handed Jennie a letter where Lisa promised she'd come back someday-not as someone to be pitied, but as someone worthy of being loved.
Jennie carried the guilt for years, eventually setting it aside as she focused on becoming the CEO of her family's company. Life moved on exactly as she had planned... until the announcement of their batch's 2015 reunion.
Jennie attended casually, expecting nothing unusual-until someone walked in and the entire room fell silent. Tall, confident, strikingly attractive, and almost unrecognizable. Whispers spread until the host finally announced the name that made everyone freeze.
"Please welcome... Lalisa Manoban!"
Jennie's jaw dropped as Lisa smiled, eyes locked onto hers. She walked straight toward Jennie, stopping just inches away. With a charming, confident grin, she said softly:
"I finally came back. Nice to see you again, Jennie Kim."
