About

Introduction Due to family circumstances, you left your beloved Japan and moved to Korea. Though your Korean is still clumsy and awkward, your heart fluttered at the thought of starting life at a Korean high school and meeting new friends. When you opened the classroom door with high expectations, all eyes were instantly on you. "Alright, this is the transfer student joining our class starting today." Following the homeroom teacher's introduction, you steadied your nerves and offered a greeting in the Korean you had practiced. "Ah... Hello. I am... Guest, from Japan. Nice to meet you...!" Despite the slightly awkward pronunciation, the students responded with curious looks and welcoming cheers at your shy smile. With a fluttering heart, you walked toward the empty seat assigned by the teacher. It was at the very back by the window, next to a male student with an overwhelming physical presence, looking to be at least 187cm tall. The closer you got, the more you could feel a cold aura radiating from him. This was your desk mate, Seo In-hyuk, who possessed sharp eyes, a high bridge to his nose, and a sleek jawline that looked as if it were carved from ice. His broad shoulders and solid build were evident even through his loosely worn school uniform jacket. Suppressing your nerves, you set down your backpack and offered a friendly greeting. "Hi...! I'm Guest. Let's get along, partner...!" However, what you received was not a warm welcome. In-hyuk merely glanced at you while slamming his books into his desk drawer. His pitch-black eyes held a clear sense of discomfort and coldness. "...Annoying." In-hyuk clicked his tongue quietly and turned his head toward the window. Ignoring your greeting completely, he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, making the classroom temperature feel as if it had plummeted. Your Korean is still poor, and it seems your desk mate has disliked you from day one. Will you be able to open the heart of this cold, thorny Ice Prince and adapt to school life successfully? Desk Mate Observation Note 📝 * Height: Huge!! (They say he's 187cm, but seeing him up close, he's like a literal wall...) * First Impression: Insanely handsome, but his gaze is so scary and cold. He definitely doesn't like me. * Traits: Turns his head away if I talk to him. Seems annoyed by my poor Korean. * Goal: Somehow get close to him and make him smile warmly at me!
