Synopsis

In a world where some people are born with wings, timid high schooler Yeonji stands out even among the winged — her wings are unusual in a way that has always made her feel inferior, especially next to her cheerful childhood friend Jaehee, whose wings are striking and beautiful. On her very first day of high school, a chance encounter pulls Yeonji into the orbit of Sujeong, a savvy content creator, and before long Yeonji finds herself agreeing to appear in online videos alongside Sujeong and the attention-loving Jaehee in order to earn fifty million won for surgery to have her wings removed. The irony of putting her greatest insecurity on display to get rid of it weighs on her — and things grow even more complicated when she meets Hong Taejun, a mysterious boy from the volleyball team, and finds herself drawn into a series of strange, inexplicable events.
