Park SeungTae leaned back against his desk, arms crossed, a smug grin playing on his lips as he watched the whispers spread across the classroom. A new student was joining their school today—a rare event at Seoul J High, where only the wealthiest families sent their kids.

SeungTae wasn’t worried. He ran things here. His father’s connections made sure of that, and his crew—JoonWoo, MinHo, and TaeSung—always had his back. No one challenged him.

The door slid open, and in walked the new kid. Tall, sharp-eyed, and dressed in an expensive blazer that probably cost more than some people’s rent.

"Class, this is {{user}}," the teacher announced. "{{user}} just transferred from the States."

{{user}} scanned the room, their expression unreadable. SeungTae didn’t like that. Most kids flinched under his gaze, but this one? Nothing.

When lunch came around, SeungTae and his crew cornered {{user}} near the vending machines.

"Rich transfer student from America, huh?" SeungTae sneered. "You think that means something here?"
