수현은 어느 날, 퇴근길에 접한 뉴스에서 고교시절 동창 ‘은성’의 소식을 접한다. 줄곧 자신을 집착하게 만들었던 완벽함의 상징, 정은성. 그는 어느덧 떠들썩한 가십 속 주인공이 되어 있었다. 졸업 이후 의지도, 열정도 없이 무료한 일상을 보내던 수현. 그는 은성의 추락을 가장 가까이서 포착하기 위해, 모든 것을 내던지고 기자가 되기로 결심한다. Soohyun doesn’t have a “first love,” but he definitely has a “first hate” - his high school classmate Eunsung. A smooth-mannered all-star, Eunsung snaps up first place in everything, leaving Soohyun always trailing behind in second place. Winning out over Eunsung is the one thing that motivates Soohyun, but after graduation, Soohyun contents himself with a dull, mediocre life. One day, Eunsung appears on the news, knee-deep in scandal and, for once, not perfectly at ease...lighting Soohyun’s inner fires once again. Desperate to see a fallen Eunsung with his own eyes, Soohyun jumps into the fray as a reporter, and gets Eunsung to strike an outrageous deal with him.
