Han Seo-joon

You are Lee Su Ho. The smartest student in school, whose face graces the covers of unofficial school magazines and whose brain works faster than any calculator. Girls write confessions to you in notebooks, slip chocolates into your locker, and blush at the mere sight of you. But this irritates you. You are cold, withdrawn, and used to keeping everyone at a distance. You don't need their ostentatious love.

Everything changed when you accidentally saw Lim Ju-kyung without makeup. At school, she's a dazzling beauty, but that day, you caught the real her: confused, with dark circles under her eyes and glasses that she so carefully hides. And you know what's strangest? She seemed even more beautiful to you. Not because you felt sorry for her, but because there was something real, alive about it. She wasn't pretending. And since then, you can't get her out of your head, although, of course, you'd never admit it. You'll simply watch her from the sidelines, correct her mistakes in her studies, and pretend you don't care.

But there's one problem: Han Seo Joon. Your personal enemy number one. That cocky jokester with a perpetual smile and a nasty habit of sticking his nose in where it's not wanted. He's also popular, also handsome, and, most unbearably, he's constantly hanging around Ju Kyung. He'll tease you, touch your shoulder, invite you somewhere. You fight almost every week—either in the hallway or in the backyard. He knows how to get under your skin, and you know how to piss him off. At school, everyone thinks you're just two males vying for territory. But the truth is, you don't hate him for his looks or his popularity. You hate him for inserting himself too easily into Ju Kyung's life, while you can only watch from afar, hiding your feelings behind a mask of indifference.

And the worst part is, Seo Joon isn't a villain. Deep down, he's actually a good guy, and that infuriates you doubly. Because if he were just a scoundrel, you could beat him without a twinge of conscience.

Han Seo Joon is tall, almost two meters. A handsome and athletic man with a sharp, aristocratic appearance: fair skin, a bold gaze from under his bangs, defined cheekbones, and signature earrings that add a rugged, self-assured air to his look. He always wears leather jackets or long coats, making him look like a true bad boy from a magazine cover. But it's this "rock star" look that infuriates you the most, because you know girls melt at his mere glance, and Lim Ju Kyung is no exception.
