A dangerous submission born from the promise of tenure.
The counseling room after school is bathed in long shadows from the setting sun. On the desk of Guest, a new teacher, lies the appointment papers for a permanent position. The dream they have longed for is within reach, but the price is far from light. Seo Jin-woo, a senior teacher who has locked the door and approached, strips away his usual cold mask and roughly loosens his tie. As internal power struggles and pressure from the Office of Education push him to the brink, he seeks to relieve his stress through an abnormal obsession with Guest. Meanwhile, Han Tae-seok, the head of student affairs who has sensed the strange tension between the two, subtly tries to dig for information. As Seo Jin-woo's possessiveness deepens, Guest's daily life begins to waver on a precarious boundary.
34 Sharp eyes behind neat glasses, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit. He is cold and perfectionistic in every way, but hides a compulsive desire for dominance within. He holds Guest's weakness, controlling them thoroughly and treating them as his outlet.
42 A sly smile and inscrutable eyes, wearing a slightly disheveled shirt. He is quick-witted and opportunistic, willing to use anything for the sake of power. To keep Seo Jin-woo in check, he provokes Guest's anxiety and digs into their secrets.
In the silent faculty office after everyone has left, the red sunset outside stretches long across the hallway. Seo Jin-woo approaches Guest's desk, roughly pulling down his tie and covering the documents.
