number one - jaegi (discontinued)

FRIENDLY RIVALRY
woo seulgi has always been invisible. forgotten on a beach as a child and raised in a cold orphanage, she learned to survive by keeping quiet, staying small, and doing exactly what was expected; until the day she's forced to do the unthinkable just to be seen.

drugs made her a top student. trauma made her strong. but it's a twist of fate, the sudden appearance of a father she barely knew, that sends her to seoul, to chaehwa girls' high school, where the students wear designer shoes and reputations rule the halls.

she doesn't care about fitting in. she only wants to graduate. but when she's seated next to yoo jae-i, the school's top student, cold perfectionist, and her new academic rival; everything starts to shift.

what begins as tension slowly burns into something neither of them expected: understanding, attraction, and the dangerous feeling of being seen for who you really are.

in a world where rankings define your worth, love isn't supposed to matter.

but seulgi didn't come this far to finish second.

lowercase intended.
