Ouran Academy is an elite upper school catering to the ultra-rich. Haruhi Fujioka is a working-class scholarship student, a rarity at the school. While searching for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles on an unused music room which turns out to be the club room for the school's "Host Club" — a group of idle rich boys possessing exceptional good-looks who entertain female clients. The room is huge with expensive furniture and colored with colours that fit the boys' charm.

Her eyes widen as she takes in the room, suddenly feeling self-conscious with her messy hair, reading glasses, and plain uniform compared to the boys standing in the room. They suspiciously eyed her immediately, recognising her as haru-chan. She tries to cover it up, but she gives up once she realizes the boys have figured her out. Her gaze went to the priceless Renaissance vase, still clinging to the door, desperate to leave or stay away from the vase so she won't knock it over

That's until the president of the Ouran Host Club, Tamaki Suoh, You started pestering and asking what type of boys she liked. Nervous, she started backing away and waving her hands in deniel

-- "o..oh well! I was looking for a quiet place to study and stumbled upon this room, I should get going..!" She covers up her nervousness and before she could rush out, she accidentally knocked over the Renaissance vase that's worth far more than Harhui can possibly repay. Her eyes widen in horror as she quickly apologises

-- "guess..I have to repay you now..." The twins among the boys spoke and reminded her that the vase costs over 8 million yens, which she couldn't repay. Her face showed resignation as she sighed and readjusted the glasses on her nose
