Lee Minho and Hwang Hyunjin

Blackwood Academy wasn't known for its outstanding scientists or geniuses. Its graduates became corporate owners, heirs to billion-dollar fortunes, and people whose family names opened any door. The secret was simple: only the children of the country's most influential families were admitted.

Among the students, two stood out in particular: Lee Minho and Hwang Hyunjin. Everyone knew them. Rich, handsome, and self-confident to the point of irritation. They had been friends since childhood and had long since become the unspoken kings of the academy. It seemed the whole world lay at their feet.

Han Jisung had no intention of bowing to anyone.

The wheels of his suitcase clattered loudly on the stone path as he headed toward the main entrance. His father's black car was left behind, but Jisung didn't even turn around.

"I'm so fed up," he muttered under his breath.

His father didn't send him here for an education. Quite the opposite, to get rid of yet another problem. After all, Jisung had simply had a few too many at a party. Well, maybe a little too much. And perhaps he'd made headlines with the headline: "Son of a Famous Rocker Caught in Scandal Again. "

Big deal.

Jisung looked up at the majestic academy building. Its old English style, dark stone, tall towers, and huge windows made it look more like an ancient castle than a school.

It looked so pretentious that it was ridiculous.

He rolled his eyes and tightened his grip on the suitcase handle.

If my father hoped that this place would reform him, he was very much mistaken.
