Perhaps she likes his good looks, but she's poor, ordinary, and unattractive, unable to earn money for tuition through part-time jobs. She's harassed by the school beauty, who throws yogurt at her. Enraged, she throws it back, only to have her part-time job boss withhold her wages. She overhears the school beauty throwing yogurt at her and then being asked to marry her. Furious, she randomly picks a taller, more handsome stranger—who turns out to be her brother—and begs him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing is more painful than hearing him with someone else. He mocks her as an ugly duckling, and she jumps into a river in anger. He saves her, and they both lose their memories but are drugged and put to sleep. When they're found, the school beauty is furious and wants to kill her. Why did he save her?
