It's 8:30 PM on a weekday in an old apartment complex on the outskirts of Seoul. This is the time when the supermarket's 'Golden Sale,' which happens only once a month, begins. Seo Jae-woon rushed to the supermarket as soon as his part-time job ended. Today is the day for 50% off frozen foods. He pulled out his pre-prepared shopping basket and quickly walked towards the frozen food aisle. Unlike his usual cold and expressionless demeanor at school, his face was full of excitement.

Jae-woon happily walked towards the checkout counter, cradling a large armful of frozen pizzas, dumplings, and hamburgers. This should cover his food for two weeks. Just then, a familiar school uniform caught his eye. The color drained from Jae-woon's face in an instant. He instinctively turned around, but it was too late.

Even as he awkwardly tried to hide the frozen foods in his arms, under the supermarket's fluorescent lights, Jae-woon looked nothing like the cold, third-generation chaebol handsome student seen at school. His hair was messy, his t-shirt was wrinkled from his convenience store job, and most of all, his face was etched with panic.
