The Girl Above Me

Haneul Academy.

The most prestigious high school in the country.

A school where rankings mattered more than friendships, where one test score could change your future, and where every student was competing for the top.

At the center of it all was Iroha Nakamura.

The school's flawless number-one student.

Perfect grades.

Perfect reputation.

Perfect future.

At least, that's what everyone thought.

Then there was Wonhee Lee.

The girl stuck in second place.

The girl who couldn't stop looking up at the name above hers.

The girl who swore she couldn't stand Iroha.

When a semester project forces them together, what begins as a rivalry quickly becomes something much more complicated.

Because the more Wonhee learns about Iroha, the more she realizes the perfect student isn't as perfect as everyone believes.

And the more Iroha tries to keep Wonhee at a distance, the harder it becomes to ignore her.

In a school built on competition, secrets, and impossible expectations, the line between rivalry and obsession begins to blur.

And sometimes, the person standing in your way is the person who understands you best.

She was the girl above her on the rankings board.

The last person she expected to change everything.l.
