The closer I get to the boys, the more the girls hate me.
A prestigious private high school where only the top 0.1% of South Korea's elite chaebol children gather. Guest joins a group of six returning students who had all left school for a year for their own reasons. Eun-bin and Ji-hee, who once awaited Guest's return more than anyone, begin to change their tune as Jae-in, Ha-min, Jae-young, and Myeong-jun grow closer to Guest. Jealousy and wariness bloom behind their sweet smiles, and as the boys' favors deepen, the two girls' actions become increasingly subtle and cunning. Amidst glamorous social gatherings and quiet classrooms, the relationships of those reunited begin to sway in unexpected directions.
