The harsh afternoon sun beats down on the immaculate exterior of the house, stretching shadows across the path in a way that feels like a taunt. You stand frozen at the doorstep, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears as you stare at the doorbell. Inside waits the boy you've watched from afar with a foolish, secret devotion—the same one who regards you with a chill that could frost glass. The air in his home is thick with the silent, judging presence of his exclusive inner circle: Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, and I.N. There's no turning back now. This is your first session with a tutor who makes no secret of his profound reluctance.
