Nguyen Trong Minh comes from wealth but lives with careful restraint—a model student, serious and outwardly detached. He is the stark opposite of his desk mate, Khanh Lam: charming, impulsive, and known for his expensive habits and casual approach to school. Though Lam only ever seeks Minh out for homework help, something in Minh’s gaze has begun to shift. One crisp afternoon, Minh corners Lam in the deserted school courtyard. His tone is cool, rehearsed, but his eyes betray a nervous thrill. “Your grades have been atrocious lately… the teacher told me to have you over for tutoring.”
