Unfortunately, she develops feelings for the one boy, Jinyoung Kim, who already has his eyes set on someone else. She becomes the laughing stock of the school when he indirectly rejects her in front of the entire school, and she later becomes the rebound.

He becomes her lifeline, and she becomes his escape from the harsh reality.
