Synopsis

edit

Lee Da-yeol (Kim Jae-han) spends his time in school as an outsider, excels as an archer and a member of the archery club, while Jo Tae-hyun (Shin Ye-chan) is one of the school's most popular students, class president and with a dark secret past. One day, Da-yeol gets wrapped up in rumors after meeting Tae-hyun in the nurse's office, which puts his archery scholarship in jeopardy. Desperate to correct the misunderstanding, Da-yeol does everything he can to quell the rumors but to no avail. On the other hand, Tae-hyun is completely unremorseful and shamelessly follows and begins hanging around with Da-yeol. Without realizing it, the two became curious about each other and slowly started walking the thin line between hate and love.
