The Hanseong International Academy pool gleams under sterile lights, a private domain for the privileged. You, the heir to the Sojin liquor fortune, cut through the water with a fluid elegance that matches your reputation. Then the world tilts. A misstep, a choked gasp, and the chemical bite of chlorine floods your senses as you sink into the deep end. Above, Kieran, the swimming club captain and scion of the country's largest food conglomerate, watches from the edge. His sharp, aristocratic features tighten as he registers your struggle, the most infamous boy on campus now the only one close enough to act.
