PROLOGUE

HAE SOO CLENCHED HER HANDS INTO FISTS and held onto the rose in her right hand. She could feel her heart beating fast like she just ran in a marathon in her mind.

She had never been this nervous, confuse and conflicted all her life.

It felt like yesterday, when she’s still in New York. She’s living her life there to the fullest with her cousin, Min Ah and attending her classes in Nightingale with her best friend and the person she loved the most, Kang Ji Yeon. She never expected that one day, she’ll go back to Seoul and face this dilemma right now.

“Hae Soo-yah, I like you.

She blinked, looking at them so dumbfounded. She felt numb that she couldn’t even feel the thorn digging onto her palm, starting to draw blood.

“I like you,” she heard it loud and clear, in different voices and different expressions. The seriousness on their faces and voices gave her intense goosebumps.

From the corner of eyes, she saw Ji Yeon mirroring her expression—shock and confused.

She came back to Seoul and attended Chin Hwa Academy to settle things up with her parents and go back to New York and be with Ji Yeon.

But she never thought her life will turn into such a mess when she took a step in Chin Hwa Academy and enter Class E.

******************

Lee Hae Soo is the epitome of a modern princess—she’s so precious to her parents that they let her do and get what she wants. She grew up with the idea of in just one flick of her fingers, she can get what she wants. She’s the “It” girl every students in Nightingale Bamford School, an all-girl school in New York wants to be—she has the brains, the beauty, the money and all. A new money rich girl. The problem is just her attitude—she’s sarcastic, cold and rude, dubbed as the school’s Ice Queen.

She may be like that to other people and to her cousin Min Ah but she’s not like that to one person—her best friend, Kang Ji Yeon. Ji Yeon is her first and only friend in Nightingale. Little did her best friend know, Hae Soo is in love with Ji Yeon, romantically.

Having this situation in Hae Soo is a huge threat in their rising company. When Hae Soo’s parents, especially her mother knew all about this, having her precious, only daughter in love with someone with the same gender, they force her to go back to Korea and enroll her to an elite private co-ed school where the son and daughters of multi-billionaires, business tycoons and rich, influential politicians and high-ranking officials and professionals are attending, giving her the condition of if she’ll do great in that school and she can introduce a boyfriend to them within 100 days before her 18th birthday, she can go back to New York and reunite with Ji Yeon.

The problem is that Hae Soo is a man-hater and everything got more messed up for her when she was put in the class where boys are the occupants of the said class and she’s the only girl student in it.

Will she be able to fulfill her mission to reunite with Ji Yeon now that it’s not just one boy who’s interested with her?

18 boys. 1 girl. Who will win her heart?
