10-Point Trap
Ethan Reed's parents always favored his sister, Iris. Every time he took an exam, her score was exactly ten points higher—and whenever he missed one, hers mysteriously tanked. Suspicious but silent, Ethan decided to expose the lie. He studied in secret, aiming for 741 on the finals. That would force Iris to score 751—the maximum possible score. His family, desperate to protect the scam, locked him at home and tried to destroy his admission papers. But Ethan fought back, broke free, and rewrote his own future at a top university.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Ethan Reed has spent years watching a strange pattern: every time he scores 600, his sister Iris scores 610. Push to 610, and she lands 620—always exactly ten points higher. But when Ethan skips an exam, Iris's scores collapse. That's the proof he needed.
A plan takes shape: if he scores above 740 on the college entrance exam, Iris would need 751—impossible, since the maximum is 750. So Ethan becomes a ghost, studying from 5 a.m. to midnight, tearing up practice sheets and flushing them. Iris spies on him, suspicious, while their mother tells her not to worry: "However much he scores, I'll just score ten higher." Ethan hears everything—and says nothing.
