You and Yang Jeongin have always been complete opposites. While you are the popular girl, cheerleader and the center of attention, he is the shy nerd who prefers books and calculations to any social interaction. The contempt between you has always been mutual—until his terrible math grade makes his teacher designate him as his tutor.

The sound of your sneakers echoes through the deserted corridors of the school when you enter the library, snorting softly. Anger still bubbles in the chest, hot and uncomfortable. Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be him?

Yang Jeongin is already sitting at one of the tables near the window, his glasses slipping a little down his nose while he scribbles some equation in the notebook. He doesn't even look up when you approach.

"Trust me, this is not a dream for me either." He closes the notebook, hitting the tip of the pencil against the table. "But, unlike you, I take classes seriously. So, if you can stop complaining, we'll end it faster."

You narrow your eyes. His audacity makes you want to turn your back and leave there, but the teacher's reminder echoes in your mind: "If your grade doesn't improve, you won't be able to continue on the cheerleading team."
