Su-ho seems to have it all—looks, good grades, money and excellent basketball skills—but his dysfunctional family and a tragic incident a year ago turns him into a ice-cold boy who hates being the center of attraction. He first meets Ju-kyung at the top of a high-rise building, when Ju-kyung was contemplating suicide, and stops her from jumping off the building. He shares Ju-kyung's penchant for horror comic books, and he sometimes runs into her inside a comic book store they both frequent.
