She's an extremely smart and hard working person however, there is one thing she does not know about or just wasn't interested in: romance.

But one day when her art class ended, she stumbled upon someone named Lyon Park, a tall and beautiful boy majoring in Human Physiology. Their encounter led to change her views upon everything, but she still held onto this very thought of hers, "Being single is the best...right?"
