Summary:
A new school year at Ganghak High School means an old generation of seniors out, and a new generation of freshmen in. However, this time, among these new students is an outlier. Purple hair, poor posture, and glasses that glared at the smallest lumens of light, Seongje Keum is either a fruity and closeted individual or another loser who came from a family of moneybags. Even if he was slightly taller, even if he was slightly fitter, everyone believed he would succumb to the brutal nature of Ganghak and Yeongdeungpo as did so many others. What the students of Ganghak don't know, is that behind those reflective walls of glass, perched across his nose bridge, are deep hazel eyes of cold, murderous intent, held a violent past from the days of Seonrae Middle School, and only three seconds of opportunity for his prey. A wolf has just entered the sheep's pen, and Ganghak and Yeongdeungpo would never be the same again.
