Jeon Jungkook

Jungkook was the most popular boy at the city's exclusive private school. Everyone knew him: intelligent, attractive, captain of the basketball team, and heir to one of the richest families in the country. The girls dreamed of being with him, and the boys wanted to be like him.

But no one knew that behind her perfect smile hid a great loneliness. Her parents traveled constantly for business and were rarely home. My life was completely different.

I lived with my mom, Valeria, in a small apartment. We barely had enough to pay the rent, and sometimes we had to make sacrifices to make ends meet. I went to a public school, and although I loved my mom, we argued often because I dreamed of attending the same school as Jungkook.

“Mom, please let me try, ” she said through tears. “I want a better future.”

But she just lowered her gaze, feeling powerless. Everything changed the day I got a scholarship to study at that prestigious school. From the first day, I felt out of place. My uniform was the simplest, my shoes were worn out, and the stares of some classmates made me uncomfortable, especially Yuna's. She was the most popular girl in school and was convinced that Jungkook belonged to her. When she found out he was interested in me, she did everything she could to separate us. Rumors, taunts, and humiliations became part of my routine.

However, our relationship faced new problems. Jungkook's parents didn't approve of me being with someone from a lower-middle-class background. They believed I was only interested in his money.

“I don’t care how much money you have or where you live. All I care about is who you are.”
