Kim Minjeong is a ghost in her own life.
At university, she's the quiet, awkward cybersecurity major no one notices - unless it's to mock her. Bullied by her classmates, sidelined in every group, and painfully alone, Minjeong blends into the background of a department dominated by arrogant men. And at the center of it all stands Yu Jimin - beautiful, adored, untouchable. The department's golden girl. The same girl every guy worships. The same girl Minjeong irrationally, obsessively hates.
But Minjeong has a secret.
Online, she becomes Winter, a white-hat hacker with a reputation for hunting down revenge porn and wiping it off the web - a digital vigilante who rescues women from humiliation without ever revealing herself. What she does isn't legal, and it doesn't pay, but it gives her the only thing that matters: control.
Until one night, in the course of a takedown, Winter uncovers something shocking - a masked camgirl performing on a high-security livestream platform under the name Katarina. But Minjeong doesn't need facial recognition software to know who it is.
Yu Jimin.
The muse. The perfect girl. Hiding behind a mask, selling herself to the highest bidders online.
And suddenly, Minjeong has power.
Twisted by resentment, worn down by humiliation, and desperate for some form of justice, Minjeong makes a decision she never thought herself capable of: blackmail Jimin.
It's supposed to be revenge. Just revenge. For how the world treated her while putting Jimin on a pedestal.
But the line between hate and what started as manipulation begins to shift into something more dangerous: understanding, affection.
Maybe even something real.
When the truth comes out, what lies behind the mask?

Half of the Same Song || Winrina
Yu Jimin has always felt safer hiding behind lyrics - lines she scribbles in notebooks, meant for no one but herself. Kim Minjeong finds comfort in melodies, in humming softly to herself when words are too hard to say out loud. On a quiet campus filled with noise, they somehow find each other-in shared classes, sleepy cafés, and the spaces between songs. What starts as quiet company slowly blossoms into something warmer: late-night laughter, tentative trust, and a growing closeness neither of them saw coming. Through music, they begin to open up-piece by piece, note by note-until they realize the most beautiful songs are the ones you don't have to sing alone. Half of the Same Song is a soft, slow-burn story about healing, first love, and finding someone who feels like home - even before you know their whole story.Complete
