Nina's POV - 1

A new school means a fresh start. Now that I’m given a chance to have a better life through being a scholar in one of our country’s best school, I’ll do my best to make my dreams come true. The only thing that actually made me think twice of accepting the scholarship here was my younger cousin who I left at home with our abusive aunt. Although our aunt rarely hurts us anymore because we’re all grown up, still, I can’t believe that I left her there. The feeling of guilt is what keeps me up at night, and I sometimes still think that I might have been so selfish because I still chose to leave her alone.

I was interrupted from overthinking again when I felt the door to my new room opened. Oh, right! I remembered that the cute girl who guided me here named Eun told me that I have a roommate, and even told me that my roommate was really one of the most respected students here because of her title and accomplishments despite only being a junior.
