Choi Sowon never expected her life to turn upside down. Moving from America to Korea with her rich CEO father, Choi Minho, was the last thing she wanted. But now, as the new kid at an elite school, she's quickly learning that high school is more than just classes - it's a game.
Sowon's got her two best friends: Aerin, sweet and graceful, and Minju, tough and fearless. Together, they make the perfect team. But when Sowon meets Sim Jake, the school's charming playboy and soccer star, things get complicated. With his teasing smile and flirtatious nature, Jake's attention is impossible to ignore - but Sowon's not interested in his games.
Add her annoying older brother, Hojun, and Sowon finds herself caught up in a battle of power and hearts. But the more she tries to keep her distance, the more she realizes this "game" is bigger than she ever imagined.
And in a game where everyone's out for themselves, Sowon's just trying to stay ahead without falling for Jake's charm. But it's only a matter of time before the stakes get higher.

Jake Sim was the new transfer student with a past too heavy to carry and a heart that had forgotten how to beat for anything.
Eunjin? She was the girl who had stopped hoping a long time ago.
Neither of them were looking to be saved.
But somehow, they found something soft in each other's shadows.
Through quiet stares, shared secrets, and trembling hands, Jake began to want again, to heal, to live, to dream.
And just when Eunjin saw him truly smile,
Life gave him a reason to leave.
Now she's the one left standing still in a world that keeps moving forward, without him.
Because sometimes, the one who teaches you how to live, doesn't get to stay.
