Highschooler Hana has just realized she has feelings for her friend Min-ji. When she inadvertently lets slip her attraction, Min-ji seemingly accepts her feelings, only to use and betray her, going so far as to orchestrate other students into a campaign of systematic bullying.
At Hana’s lowest ebb, into her life comes transfer student Yura, a tall, cool girl with no tolerance for bullying, and the strength and fortitude to stand up to Hana’s tormentors. Now, with a true friend and stalwart defender, perhaps Hana’s heart can begin to heal… or even be filled with someone new?
Can be read here.
Tropes:
- Armored Closet Gay: After being betrayed by Min-ji, Hana is so frightened of being put through the same with Yura that she expresses some mild anti-gay sentiments, calling it “unnatural.”
- Chick Magnet: Yura's friend Hari constantly has other girls vying for her attention, and often they don't seem to mind sharing her. Readers like to joke that the entire female body of the school except Yura and Hana are her harem.
- Hate Sink: Hoo-boy, Min-ji. Falsely accepts Hana’s confession just so she can utilize her for homework and test answers, then tells lies about her to the other students and gets them to gang up on Hana, just so Min-ji can be part of the “in” crowd. Readers want her dead, painfully.
- Hot Teacher: When Hari is hit in the face during dodgeball, she expertly arranges to be carried to the nurse’s office by the very buff female gym teacher. Many readers expressed a wish to be carried, too. The school nurse also attracted much… attraction.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Min-ji tells the other students that Hana forced her attentions upon her, to make them feel justified in tormenting Hana.
