My name is Park Su-young, I'm 18 years old and I'm in class 2.

I haven't felt the emotion called 'love' since what happened in middle school.

박수영

I was afraid of many things because of that,

I don't talk much to men.

Instead, I have four strong friends by my side, like boyfriends.

The very first friend is

강슬기

Kang Seul-gi. She's in class 2 with me. We've been close since freshman year, and she knows about my past and protects me.

손승완

The second is Son Seung-wan. He's from Class 1. We've been close since first grade, and he knows about my past, so he and Seol-gi protect me well.

배주현

The third is Bae Joo-hyun. She's in Class 3. We became friends in my second year through Seul-gi and Seung-wan. She knows about my past and helps me.

김예림

The fourth and final one is Kim Ye-rim. She's in Class 3, the same class as Joo-hyun. Like Joo-hyun, she's become close with me, and she knows about my past and helps me.

So, I was spending time with four friends and just forgetting the trauma of middle school...

Suddenly I meet a guy who reminds me of my trauma.
