INTRO

Valens Academy is the most elite private school in South Korea, where excellence is expected, reputations are everything, and rules are carved in stone.

Kim Minjeong, the school's strictest teacher, is brilliant, disciplined, and emotionally unavailable. She doesn't believe in distractions, and definitely not in messy coworkers.

Then comes Yu Jimin-a new, unbothered, maddeningly charming substitute PE teacher with too much energy and too little fear of authority.

They were never meant to cross wires.

But every reaction needs a catalyst.
