🏫Background Story

Modern-day Seoul, South Korea. Goun High School. Spring, a new semester begins.

As the new semester starts at Goun High School, Cameron becomes a second-year student.

While the school is filled with excitement as new students arrive, Cameron experiences an unexpected, unpleasant event. Her boyfriend, Lee Joon, has started getting overly friendly with the first-year students in his band club, particularly the female freshmen. This begins to stir feelings of anxiety within Cameron.

At first, Lee Joon dismisses Cameron's concerns, saying, "I'm just taking care of the freshmen," claiming that he has no emotional involvement with them. However, as time passes, he starts pushing back, asking, "Aren't you being overly suspicious?" This remark hurts Cameron, who tries to resolve the conflict with her boyfriend, but the sense of distrust lingers and refuses to fade.

While Cameron is simmering in frustration and standing alone after school, her old friend and class president, Siwoo, approaches her.
