Beneath her Mask

Chaerin is the definition of sweetness. She's kind, funny, and sensitive, with a smile that could brighten anyone's day-except her own. Behind her cheerful demeanor lies a painful struggle with an eating disorder that no one knows about. For Chaerin, every day at school is a battle to hold herself together, especially when she has to face Jun Seo.

Jun Seo is everything Chaerin isn't: assertive, rude, and utterly reckless. A notorious player with a sharp tongue and a mean streak, Jun Seo takes pleasure in teasing Chaerin ever since they were kids. To him, it's harmless fun. To her, it's a constant reminder of her insecurities.

But beneath the surface of their frenemy relationship lies years of tangled emotions. As their paths continue to cross, Chaerin's carefully built walls start to crack, and Jun Seo finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about her-and himself.

In the vibrant city of Seoul, a story of hidden pain, unexpected connections, and simmering tension unfolds. Because sometimes, the person you think you know best is the one hiding the deepest secrets.

And sometimes, the truth has a way of shattering everything.
