The narrator, Pearl, was born into a wealthy family and lived a life of luxury as a child. She was treated like a princess, but her life took a turn when a "gift" from a classmate, Melissa, gave her a permanent scar. As she grew older, Pearl faced bullying from Melissa and unwanted attention from Melissa's friend Xander, who claimed Pearl was his girlfriend.
Pearl found solace in an exchange student named Mino, and they started dating. However, Pearl's parents arranged for her to marry Xander to save their failing business. Pearl was forced to lie to Mino and break off their relationship.
On the day of the wedding, Pearl discovered that her parents had lied to her about her father's health, and she stormed out of the wedding, throwing the ring in Xander's face. She then embarked on a mission to find Mino and confess her love.
Pearl tracked Mino to a BTS concert and, with the help of the K-pop group, confessed her love to him on stage. The two were reunited, and Mino forgave Pearl for her past lies. The story ends with the couple sharing a romantic moment, surrounded by cheering crowds.
