"ORBITAL RIFT AT SEOUL UNIVERSITY"

From the bustling streets of Gangnam to the hallowed halls of Seoul University, Danielle and Haerin have been the definition of "best friends" since they could walk. Their bond was so tight that their moms relied on a bamboo stick to separate them - a running joke that turned into a symbol of their unbreakable connection. They shared dreams, fears, and a dorm room filled with Disney posters and science textbooks, proving that sun and moonlight could coexist perfectly.

Then Kai arrives.

As basketball captain, he commands attention wherever he goes - but it's his quiet mystery and easy charm that hook both girls. Danielle chases him with her usual enthusiasm, writing a front-page story about him for the newspaper and falling hard for the way he makes her feel seen. Haerin, meanwhile, finds herself opening up in ways she never thought possible, sharing her love of quantum physics and late-night stargazing with a boy who seems to understand her darkness.

What starts as a gentle competition soon spirals into a brutal war of words, lies, and betrayal. Secrets are spilled in the newspaper. Rumors spread through the science club. And the bamboo stick that once held their friendship together becomes a reminder of everything they've lost. When the truth about Kai's double life comes out, it doesn't fix things - it only reveals how deep their hurt runs.

This is a story about the fragility of first love, the weight of childhood promises, and the terrifying question: what do you do when the person who made you who you are is the one who breaks you?
