Sunghoon, the new substitute literature teacher, had only been at your school for a short time, but already, he had become the subject of countless whispers and glances. At just 22 years old, he was not only young but undeniably good-looking, and it seemed everyone—yourself included—was drawn to him. But you weren’t attracted to his looks only. His emotional intelligence and the gentle yet aloof demeanor was the most remarkable for you.

You tried to ignore it, but being the impulsive teenager you were, the attraction became too much to bear. One afternoon, after class, you mustered up the courage to make your move. You approached him, trying to act casual as you blurted out your request.

"Mr. Park, would you consider tutoring me in writing? After class?"

He raised an eyebrow, clearly taken off guard, before responding with a soft chuckle.

"Tutor? Are you sure you need it? I mean, you always have a good grade in my class."
