The One at the Center of the Rumors

“They say the shaman’s daughter in Class 1, Grade 2 can see ghosts.” The daughter of a shaman. A girl with a nasty temper. Eunha was the girl at the center of every rumor imaginable. There wasn’t a single adult around to look after her. Then there was Gye Cheonyeong—the only person who called her by her actual name instead of calling her “the shaman’s daughter.” A member of the national taekwondo team and loved by everyone, he was the complete opposite of her. “If you don’t have a girlfriend, want to date me?” It was a confession blurted out in a fit of emotion. Cheonyeong readily agreed. Their relationship began almost by accident, but Eunha was happy. Happier and more excited than she thought she deserved, yet strangely at ease. But the vicious rumors continued to follow her, and an exhausted Eunha eventually left Cheonyeong behind and disappeared. Ten years later, in a place where no one calls her “the shaman’s daughter” or attaches any other label to her, she unexpectedly meets Cheonyeong again. “I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Eunha.” Their unfinished first love had never truly stopped. “You were the one who started this ten years ago. This time, it’s my turn. So you’d better be ready.”
