In the bustling halls of Seoul High, Taeyeon's steps were careful, her eyes cast downward to avoid the piercing gazes of her peers. Despite her efforts to blend into the background, whispers followed in her wake, fueled by envy and resentment. Her nerdy appearance and top-notch grades made her an easy target for ridicule and scorn.

 

Meanwhile, Tiffany glided through the corridors with effortless grace, her radiant smile drawing admirers like moths to a flame. She was the quintessential high school queen bee, her every move scrutinized and adored by those around her. Love letters adorned her locker daily, testaments to her popularity and allure.

 

As they passed each other in the halls, Tiffany couldn't help but notice Taeyeon's downtrodden demeanor, the weight of her nerdy facade evident in every hesitant step. She observed the subtle flinches, the downcast eyes, and the whispered taunts that followed Taeyeon's every move.

In the dimly lit corner of the club, Taeyeon's heart pounded in her chest as Tiffany's gaze bore into her. She could feel the weight of her secret pressing down on her, threatening to crush her beneath its burden.

 

Tiffany's eyes narrowed slightly, a mixture of curiosity and surprise flickering across her features. "Taeyeon, right?" she asked, her voice cutting through the pulsating music.
