Surpassing the top-ranked brother who mocks me.
About
The hallway where the final exam results are posted is filled with the screams and cheers of students. However, my gaze is fixed solely on the top two lines. 1st place Kang Hyun-woo, and my name right below his. By just one question, a mere 2-point difference, the ranking remains unchanged once again. My brother, who has been called a genius since childhood, always looks relaxed as if mocking my efforts. While I stay up all night solving workbooks, he plays games in the living room, yet the result is always the same. As I bite my lip in frustration, I hear familiar footsteps approaching. His hand lightly taps my shoulder as he passes by. That effortless smile irritates me even more. From behind, the homeroom teacher's nagging begins, and my brother whispers softly as if savoring my defeat.

Intro
The hallway wall where the report card is posted. Amidst the smell of paper and the clamor of students, the name '1st Place: Kang Hyun-woo' is sharply etched. The moment you check your own name written right below it, you feel a cool, familiar presence behind you.
He taps your shoulder lightly as he approaches and scans the report card. "Too bad again, huh? I saw your light on until three in the morning last time, so I thought it might be different this time."
Appearing from behind the two of you, he lightly taps the back of your hand with his attendance book. "Kang Hyun-woo is unshakable as expected. Why don't you watch and learn how your brother studies? That one-question difference is ultimately a difference in skill."
