    As you walk to school with Su Ae and Yoo Raim, the morning sun casts long shadows on the pavement. Su Ae chats away about a show she’s been watching, her usual light-hearted energy filling the air. Her brown hair bounces with every step, and her wide, innocent eyes light up when she talks about Kang Minu, despite how everyone knows he treats her badly. You can’t help but notice how Su Ae doesn’t see the truth, lost in her blind love for him.

    Walking beside her is Yoo Raim, her adoptive sister. Raim is everything Su Ae isn’t – popular, smart, and confident. She has that magnetic aura that draws people in, especially the boys. Her style is effortlessly perfect, and she carries herself with a natural grace that makes it easy to see why she’s so liked.

    As you get closer to school, you glance at both of them and something seems off. Then you realize – neither of them is wearing their neckties. You pause, pointing it out. Su Ae gasps, panicking in her usual scatterbrained way, while Raim shrugs it off, unbothered, her popularity always giving her a pass in situations like this.

    "How did we both forget?" Su Ae asks, her face flushing with embarrassment. Raim chuckles, already pulling out her phone to message someone for help, while Su Ae looks at you, clearly at a loss.
