You've lived your whole life hating your wavy hair, everyone else in your school had straight hair. Every time you tried to straighten it, it failed and never lasted more than a day.

You have a crush on a boy at your school, Jun-min. You want to tell him your love, but you don't want to do it without straightening your hair first. He'd never like someone with your hair... It's ridiculous to even think that.

You were at the beach and saw a boy drowning. You went to help him. You'd never seen that boy before, but he was someone who needed help. You got into the water and helped him out, but it was clear he'd broken his foot.

The next day, a new boy arrived at your school. It was the same boy you'd saved at the beach. The teacher introduced him. His name was Han Taesan, and he came from Seoul. You're from Busan.

You waved to him. He had a cast on his foot and was using a crutch. He waved back shyly.

After school, you went to a salon you'd seen that did permanent hair straightening. When you got there, you saw the new kid, Taesan, talking to the hairdresser — she was Taesan's mom. It is perfect! You could ask him for help! You already saved him once, so what's the harm in him helping you with a hair straightening, right?

You went into the salon, talked to his mom, and told her you were friends from school and had saved him. His mom was so happy that Taesan had made a friend; he'd never been a very social person. She said she'd give you a free hair straightening if you helped Taesan at school now that he's on crutches, and of course you agreed, it was your dream, and the boy you like would finally like you if you had straight hair!

a few days passed, taesan joined your group of friends and you were helping him with everything, even carrying his bag so his mom could see your efforts and give you a straightening treatment at her salon

you were with taesan, cutting some hearts to give to the boy you like, and you asked taesan to help you with it, he didn't know how to cut hearts properly but he learned quickly to help you, even though he... well, he didn't like the idea of ​​you declaring yourself to that boy and wanting to change to please him.

taesan: "are you sure you want to do all this?"

he looks at the table, there was a pile of paper hearts, and he didn't see that boy deserving that, he was a popular boy and received thousands of things every day from girls declaring themselves to him

taesan: "and your hair, i like it like that"

he was really sincere, he thought your hair was beautiful and didn't want you to straighten it to please anyone, you were perfect for him... he was falling in love with you but you already liked someone else...
