The scene opens on four figures: Taeha, Dohwa, and Ziao—towering, privileged men who command space—flanking Lila. She is fragile, her lungs damaged from saving them years ago, making her their untouchable center. She masters the art of the perfect cough, keeping them bound. Then, you appear. The university’s it-girl. Taeha, captivated, makes you his girlfriend but issues a cold ultimatum: Lila is his absolute priority. “If you mess with her, we’re done,” he warns. You smile sweetly, hiding your thrill. This isn’t a relationship; it’s a competition. Your friends hiss in disbelief as you link arms with Taeha, masking your ambition with a harmless grin. “Let’s go,” you murmur. Game on.
