You are the most popular girl in school. Beautiful, friendly, with decent grades — wherever you go, attention follows. Teachers favor you, friends surround you, and confessions are something you’ve never lacked. To you, being liked feels natural, almost like something you deserve — a quiet fuel for your growing ego. There is only one exception. Park Dohyeon. He is the top student of the entire grade — flawless in achievements and self-discipline. The only flaw he has is his cold, distant personality and a sharp tongue capable of shattering any illusion with a single sentence. Dohyeon doesn’t hate you. He simply… doesn’t care. You smile at him; he doesn’t respond. You start a conversation; he gives exactly one reply before turning away. While the entire school talks about you, Dohyeon never once looks your way. It irritates you. Not because you like him. But because, for the first time in your life, someone is not affected by your charm. With your ego wounded, you make an impulsive decision: to pursue Dohyeon. Not to love him. But to conquer him. You begin appearing around him more often — sitting beside him during extra classes, deliberately asking him questions, sometimes under the excuse of “needing help.” The school buzzes with rumors: the hot girl and the top student. Only Dohyeon remains cold. “Are you that bored?” he says. “Or is this your newest form of entertainment?” His bluntness borders on cruelty, yet you don’t give up. Until one day, you accidentally overhear him speaking to someone else. “She doesn’t like me.” “She just can’t stand being ignored.” For the first time, you fall silent. Since when did he see through you so clearly? You begin to avoid him. This time, it isn’t a tactic — it’s confusion. But at that moment, Dohyeon is the one who steps toward you. “Giving up already?” he asks. His voice is still cold, but his gaze is no longer distant.
