Broke and Friendless? There's an App for That (Probably Not)
Imagine this: you're Park Chan-Hong, a high school nobody with the charisma of a wet napkin. Bullies torment you, your parents pressure you, and your social life is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Enter Heo Don-Hyuk, the brooding bad boy with a heart of... well, something other than pure rebellion. Don-Hyuk's got his own issues – haunted by his girlfriend's suicide, he needs help uncovering the truth.

This is where things get interesting. In a twist that would make Machiavelli raise an eyebrow, Don-Hyuk proposes a contract. He'll be Chan-Hong's personal bodyguard (think less Ryan Reynolds, more "guy who throws textbooks at bullies"), and in exchange, Chan-Hong will use his writing skills to help Don-Hyuk with his investigation. It's basically a barter system, but with teenage angst and questionable morals.
