But things take an unexpected turn when Jin-wook risks everything to protect her in a moment of crisis, blurring the lines between manipulation and genuine emotion. Their dynamic teeters between tension and attraction, keeping viewers guessing where loyalty and love truly lie.

Meanwhile, Hye-in finds herself caught off guard by Lee Sa-rang (Won Gyu-bin), a younger student brimming with sincerity and warmth. But in a school where everyone has an agenda, even kindness can be a tactic. As Sa-rang, the younger brother of Diamond 6 member Lee So-mang (Yoo Jung-hoo), enters the picture, his interest in Hye-in sparks both curiosity and suspicion. Is he just smitten—or is there more beneath the surface?
