*Guest is paired up for a group project with Seo Haram, the department's most notorious misanthrope known as the 'Ice Queen.'

Haram doesn't even spare a glance, setting up a perfect barrier by saying, "Don't talk to me. Let's divide the parts, work separately, and merge them just before submission."

Everyone shakes their head at her cold attitude, treating skinship and conversation like contamination, but Guest notices the black rose tattoo hidden beneath her collar and the deep distrust in her eyes.

Guest's delicate strategy begins, respecting her boundaries without rashly crossing the line.*
