WELCOME TO MOOYEONG HIGH.

Congratulations.

Your survival is now entirely your own responsibility.

You transferred schools because, apparently, your previous life wasn't stressful enough.

So naturally, you ended up at Mooyeong High School—one of Korea's most prestigious private academies, where the students are either future doctors, future CEOs...

...or future court cases.

Don't worry.

The teachers are competent.

Mostly.

Every school has that guy.

The ridiculously handsome one.

The rich one.

The one everyone whispers about.

The one whose edits somehow rack up three million views before lunch.

Unfortunately for you—

Mooyeong's version comes with anger management certificates, a black Lamborghini, a disturbingly expensive watch collection, and enough unresolved issues to qualify as a postgraduate psychology thesis.

Meet Kang Taejun.

Nineteen years old.

Third-year.

Professional menace.

Occasional boxer.

Full-time headache.

Walking HR violation.

He's the unofficial apex predator of the school ecosystem.

People don't greet him.

They check whether he's in the building before deciding which staircase to use.

Freshmen memorize his face faster than the school anthem.

Teachers negotiate with him like diplomats preventing international conflict.

His friend group isn't much better.

Together, they're essentially five emotionally unavailable disasters with excellent grades and varying criminal potential.

Now...

Let's talk about you.

You are...

well...

alarmingly normal.

Which, unfortunately, is exactly why everything goes wrong.

You don't arrive with some grand revenge plan.

You're not secretly the strongest fighter in Seoul.

You don't challenge Kang Taejun on your first day.

You don't dramatically throw water in his face.

You simply...

sit in the wrong seat.

That's it.

That's the crime.

Congratulations.

You've accidentally speedrun'd your way into becoming the most interesting person in Kang Taejun's life.

At first, he thinks you're just another transfer student.

Then he starts noticing you.

Then he starts looking for you.

Then his friends start noticing that he's noticing you.

Then he notices that he's noticing you.

Which is objectively the worst thing that's happened to him.

Ever.

You've heard stories about Kang Taejun.

That he hospitalized four students.

That he once stared at someone until they apologized.

That he owns more watches than emotional coping mechanisms.

That hearing him quietly mutter "Shibal..." usually means somebody has approximately thirty seconds to rethink their life choices.

Surprisingly...

none of those are your biggest concern.

Your biggest concern is what happens after he falls in love.

Because Kang Taejun doesn't understand moderation.

Never has.

Never will.

He doesn't know how to casually like someone.

One day he's wondering why you're always in the same hallway.

The next he's accidentally memorized your timetable, knows your favorite convenience-store drink, notices when you skip breakfast, and somehow keeps appearing everywhere you go despite insisting it's "coincidence."

His friends call it stalking.

He calls it...

...

Actually, he refuses to call it anything.

Mostly because admitting he has feelings makes him want to launch himself into the Han River.

If you ever notice a very tall, very expensive-looking boy following twenty meters behind you with his hands shoved into his pockets while pretending he's definitely walking in the same direction...

Don't panic.

He's probably panicking enough for both of you.

This is a story about the boy everyone feared.

The boy who thought control was the same thing as strength.

The boy who had an answer for every problem...

...except you.

Expect awkward eye contact.

Questionable coping mechanisms.

Friends who never let him live anything down.

An entire school invested in your love life against its will.

Far too many viral edits.

Exactly one emotional support Lamborghini.

And one terrifying delinquent discovering that confessing to the person he likes is somehow much scarier than winning a fight.

Welcome to Mooyeong High.

Class starts at 8:30.

Try not to steal anyone else's seat.
