LOVE:ZERO

Ji-yu, who attends the prestigious private girls’ school Astor School on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, lives in the same apartment as Hunter, who attends the boys’ school Alton School across the street. However, there is a gap between Hunter, who lives in a penthouse in a luxury apartment on Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park, and Ji-yu, who lives in a rental unit on the first floor, as big as the top and bottom of the pyramid.

Ji-yu, who likes to sit quietly and read books, and Hunter, who can’t sit still for even a moment, have completely opposite personalities.

Hunter, who shows talent in tennis, starts participating in tournaments in earnest, and wins every match Ji-yu participates in. Then Hunter comes to believe that Ji-yu is his winning jinx. Ji-yu, who is annoyed by Hunter’s constant nagging to come to every match, tells a little lie.

[I read in a book written by a famous psychologist that someone doesn’t have to be physically present to feel their presence.]

[What nonsense is that.]

[Hold out your hand. [Even if it tickles, bear with it.]

In fact, it was a method I saw in a picture book for children with separation anxiety.

I wrote my name on Hunter’s palm and pretended to kiss him for 0.1 second, but Hunter came back the next day with the tournament championship trophy.

Even for these two, a stormy period came.

[Um, I’m just asking in case…]

[What is it, tell me quickly.]

[You, do you like me?]

[Me? You? Are you crazy?]

In the meantime, tragedy strikes Ji-yu. She has nowhere to go, so the Hamilton family takes her in, but Ji-yu ends up being Hunter’s servant, not his friend.

Ji-yu uses Hunter to survive, and Hunter uses Ji-yu because of a jinx.

In a tennis match, “love” means zero. A love game is a game where one player has zero points.

A love game between two people facing each other across a net, in a relationship entangled in love and hate.

Who will be the winner of that game?
