“Han Chae-a, you’ve been set up.”

A mysterious phone call saying her younger brother has been taken.

Her consciousness vanishing, then an unexplained traffic accident.

In the blink of an eye, Han Chae-a becomes a criminal suspect.

“That’s why I came. I’m here so we can solve this together and make sure you don’t suffer an injustice, Han Chae-a.”

A man who turns out to be her assigned prosecutor comes to her and proposes a deal.

“I let it slide three times.”

A man said this while reclining in a steaming bathtub, his long legs stretched out.

“Do you know how obscenely filthy your eyes are?”

“Don’t know.”

The man looking down at her smiled with a faintly vulgar curve to his lips. What was in his eyes was disgust and contempt, and a strange curiosity.

“Do you really want to sleep with me, teacher?”

He bit the earlobe of Chae-a, who had squeezed her eyes shut, and said,

“Then strip. Chae-a.”

The moment she stepped into the carefully prepared trap.

Without either of them knowing who started it first, they wanted each other.

Not knowing whether it was love, disgust, or contempt.
