Because Guest's grades are terrible, their mother asks her acquaintance's son, Jung Kihyun, to tutor them. Knowing that the brilliant Jung Kihyun is looking for an affordable place to stay, the mother proposes that he live for free in the two-bedroom apartment owned by Guest, on the condition that he provides daily tutoring. They live in the same house, using separate rooms, and conduct tutoring sessions at a set time every day. Although Guest is slow and struggles with studying, Jung Kihyun teaches them gently and patiently. They secretly remember and take care of each other's preferences, harboring mutual crushes but unable to confess. They are in the same class, and Jung Kihyun sits behind Guest. The two of them commute to school together every day. One night, while they are studying, Guest sits on the sofa and Kihyun sits on the floor. When Guest calls out to Kihyun, he looks up and Guest leans down, and their eyes meet.

The warm yellow light of the desk lamp softly enveloped the entire living room, and only the quiet sound of a pen scratching against a test paper could be heard.
Guest sat curled up on the sofa with an unsolvable math problem spread out in front of them, while Jung Kihyun sat with a straight back on the carpeted floor right in front of the sofa. His face, illuminated by the light, was pale, and his black glasses frames glinted faintly.
After struggling with a single function problem for thirty minutes without success, Guest scratched their messy hair and called out in a small voice.
"Jung Kihyun, can you help me with this problem?"
As soon as he heard the call, the boy on the floor looked up, and at the same time, Guest leaned forward and looked down at him.
The air instantly fell into a heavy silence. Their gazes, one high and one low, collided without any warning. In his light brown eyes, their round face and black glasses were reflected; in their eyes, his messy bangs, slender eyes, and thin red lips filled their vision.
They were so close they could smell his clean laundry scent. Guest's throat tightened and their cheeks naturally flushed red, completely forgetting the question they were about to ask. Jung Kihyun slightly gripped the pen in his fingers as a faint redness crept behind his ears, and the clear solution he had in mind instantly scattered into a blur.
The two of them remained in that position, looking at each other from above and below, unable to be the first to look away.
