Ariel Han never planned to stay in Seoul. Transferred from New York into one of the city’s most competitive high schools, she counts the days until she can return to Parsons and reclaim the future she thought was already decided. Seoul was temporary. The friendships, the rivalries, the quiet tension in the hallways — none of it was supposed to matter. Then she met Ha-Joon. What starts as teasing turns into first love — messy, intense, unforgettable. Through late nights, shared dreams, and growing ambition, Ariel begins discovering new passions she never expected, new friendships that feel like home, and a version of herself that no longer fits the life she once planned. But growing up means growing apart. As opportunities reshape her future and heartbreak forces her forward, Ariel slowly begins to see what she once overlooked — the quiet presence who was always there. The one who never chased her, never demanded her attention, never asked to be chosen. By the first snow of their final year, she realizes something she never imagined: The boy who seemed distant… was the one who loved her all along. A story about first love, changing dreams, friendship, ambition, and the kind of love that doesn’t burn fast — it waits.
