High school senior Valerie Kwon runs K&C K-BEAUTY, her school’s number one student-run business, with her cousin Charlie. Valerie’s goal is to save enough money to take her beloved halmeoni to Paris (and maybe show her mother that she’s worth as much as her successful older sister). But when Wes Jung arrives at school and begins selling K-BEAUTY products of his own, Valerie’s business is threatened. Little does she know that Wes is desperate for the money himself— he wants to pursue music in college and his parents disapprove. So when their businesses overlap and customers are at stake, the two make a bet: whoever earns the most profits by Prom keeps the entire pot. What’s better than a little healthy competition to turn these competitors into maybe something more?
