Jade
Asan ako? , What place is this?
Eden
Omg, where am I?, yung pasyente ko!
Ryan
what the h*ck!, where am I?
Jasper
Are you kidding me right now?, what place is this?
Every story begins with someone who doesn't know they're already part of one.
[The loud squeak of rubber shoes echoed throughout Hanseong High School's gymnasium.]
A basketball cut through the air
Without even turning around, Kang Jin-woo raised one hand.
Pak!
The ball landed perfectly in his palm.
For a brief moment...
Silence.
Before it happened
???
"Hindi man lang tumingin."
？？？
"That's Kang Jin-woo for you."
The whispers quickly spread across the gym.
Some admired him.
Some envied him.
Most were simply too intimidated to approach him.
Jin-woo casually tossed the basketball back to his teammate before wiping the sweat from his forehead.
No celebration.
No smile.
No unnecessary words.
Just another ordinary practice.
At least...
That's what everyone thought.
A familiar voice suddenly echoed across the gym.
Several students immediately turned around.
Only one person dared to call Kang Jin-woo that nickname.
Yoon Chae-won.
Still wearing his basketball jersey, Chae-won jogged toward him with his usual bright grin.
Yoon Chae-won
"Libre mo kami pagkatapos ng practice."
Yoon Chae-won
"Ay, grabe. Ang yaman-yaman mo na nga."
The surrounding players burst into laughter.
？？？
"Pare, paano mo natitiis 'yan?"
Jin-woo rolled his eyes but quietly handed Chae-won a bottled water.
The latter blinked before grinning even wider.

Yoon Chae-won
"Tsk!, Sabi ko na nga ba, Soft karin"
Jin-woo walked away without answering.
Yet everyone noticed.
He always looked after Chae-won...
Even if he never admitted it.
Inside the school library.
Rows of books stood quietly beneath the afternoon sunlight.
Ha Yi-soo adjusted his glasses while helping a classmate solve a difficult mathematics problem.
???
"You explain it better than our teacher,"
Ha Yi-soo
"Maybe because I also struggled with it before."
As the student left, Yi-soo let out a small sigh before opening another notebook.
His smile slowly disappeared.
Inside the notebook...
Were calculations.
Monthly expenses.
Electricity bill.
Medicine.
Rent.
He quietly closed it before anyone could see.
Ha Yi-soo
"No one needs to worry,I'll figure something out."
Outside the library...
Seo Min-jun sat alone beneath a tree.
A thick medical book rested on his lap.
He wasn't reading for class.
He was reading because one day...
He wanted to become a doctor.
