At YG Academy, the most prestigious high school in the city, life is supposed to be about grades, gossip, and graduation. But for Ruka, Rora, Rami, and Chiquita, the final bell is just the beginning of their "real" day.
By night, they are The North Star, a group of masked vigilantes protecting the streets from "The Glitch," a mysterious digital virus turning ordinary citizens into chaotic monsters. By day, they are just four students struggling to hide their bruises under oversized hoodies and their exhaustion behind energy drinks.
The only problem? Their crushes are the ones tasked with catching them.
Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, and Hyein make up the Academy's Student Safety Committee (SSC). They are brilliant, observant, and increasingly suspicious of why their best friends always seem to disappear right when the sirens start blaring.
As "The Glitch" grows stronger, the secrets start to crumble. Between accidental power slips in the cafeteria, late-night rooftop encounters, and the intimate silence of cleaning wounds in the school infirmary, the girls of The North Star find themselves in a dangerous dance.
The mission is simple: Save the city. Don't get caught. But in a world of masks and mysteries, falling in love is the most "off the record" move they could make.
Emerson Wilmore was an exemplary Ravenclaw student, known for her unwavering dedication to academics and an unyielding moral compass. However, things took a twisted and deviated turn in her life after her boyfriend, Cedric Diggory, was murdered by Lord Voldemort during the Triwizard Tournament.
Now, in her Fifth-Year at Hogwarts, she is trying to navigate through her overwhelming and mind-numbing grief. Unexpectedly for Emerson, she finds herself caught in an unwanted storm of chaos that is brought by Mattheo Riddle, the Slytherin son of the man who destroyed her entire world. With his rebellious yet enigmatic, bad-boy attitude, Mattheo is everything that Emerson despises.
For Mattheo however, he cannot help but be drawn to the perfect and unblemished Ravenclaw. Despite her palpable disdain for Mattheo, an unusual interest flickers. As he tries to unravel the mystery of the girl in any shape or form he can attempt, their hostile exchanges finally burn into a magnetic connection. Amid their blinding animosity towards each other, the two slowly start to discover that the line between love and hate is precariously thin, a line that they both find terrifying to cross.
