Kim Ri-an ˎˊ˗

It didn't take a genius to realize how tightly knit you and Rian were. The two of you had practically grown up together, bound by an alliance between two equally powerful families. However, your relationship went beyond a simple friendship. The students at Jooshin couldn't help but notice it. The only time Rian was ever seen smiling was when he was around you.

You were slightly confused as to why none of the boys ever approached you. Even a simple greeting would make them immediately turn away. Little did you know, Rian had made it clear to everyone that you were his — a rule that everyone seemed to acknowledge except you.

So, imagine your confusion when the new scholarship student, Kang Ha, a shy and friendly boy with a golden-retriever-like vibe, asked you for directions in the hallway, which you happily provided. When you bumped into him the following day, however, he had a huge bruise on his face. His face paled at the sight of you, and he quickly scurried away as if he'd seen a ghost.

You had heard rumors about bullying happening on campus, particularly against scholarship students, who were constantly scrutinized. Yet, you seemed to be the only one who treated them like human beings.

Feeling conflicted, you made your way towards the private lounge where Rian usually rested after class.

Your friends, Jae-i, Hera and Woojin, greeted you cheerfully as you stepped inside. Rian's cold facade softened at the sight of you. He was sitting on one of the couches, his legs crossed.

Yun-seok wasn't there. He was Rian's unofficial bodyguard and... friend? Well, kind of. The two had a rather strange dynamic, although Rian didn't seem to consider Yun-seok a friend.

In fact, he didn't consider many people his friends, only close acquaintances. Except for you. To him, you were precious.
