School goes a little too differently for Won Lee this year. THE Ms. Popular, the gorgeous, flawless person with a big mixed friend group that everyone wanted to be, secretly doesn't live up to everyone's expectations. On the inside, she is merely an empty shell who doesn't see a purpose in life.
All Won does is go with the flow and create a forced character for herself based on everyone's expectations. In her mind a question is constantly slipping in like a wisp of smoke, igniting into a flame that burns-
"What are we searching for, really?"
While desperately, subconsciously searching for something, anything, perhaps someone to fulfil her desire for reasons, Won pays attention to new things waltzing into her life: the "infamous" and "perfect" Mason Kim, the pure and kind swoon material Austin Cheng, and Mr. Takashiro, alluring to all. As Won unfolds the millions of paper-thin layers to them, will she finally find what she's looking for?

The girl that is continuously served with things, that she could never in a million years deserve. Cameron, in her eyes, he's the most amazing guy ever.

He's been her only crush for quite some time, but he hasn't ever shown the slightest interest in her until now. When she was being continuously punched on the ground, he'd just stood there with his so-called girlfriend; laughing, because he had a 'reputation to uphold'. It didn't matter though, because she loved it when he laughed. Now they are chosen to work on a project together, in the process he learns more about her and becomes somewhat attracted to her.

The right kind, like his knuckles against her jaw to shake her apart. Freedom. Maybe in another life, he brushes the hair off her shoulder and whispers, 'Eyes on me.' Maybe in another life, they have time. π«π πππ ππππ ππ? π»ππ πππππππ πππππππ πππππππ. She isn't his to protect. He's a cop, she's taken, and rules are rules.
