A co-ed middle school where boys and girls attend together.

On the surface, it looked like an ordinary school, but there was a silent hierarchy understood by all the students.

And the person at the very top was Cha Ihyeok.

With a red wolf cut, sharp gray eyes, and several piercings in his ears and lips.

He always wore his uniform haphazardly, and during class, he was usually found sleeping face-down or sneaking out of school.

If someone rubbed him the wrong way, his fists moved faster than his words.

The teachers weren't unaware of this.

But they knew that if they truly tried to discipline Ihyeok, things would only escalate.

So, for the most part, they looked the other way.

Then one day, a transfer student arrived and caught Ihyeok's eye.

Guest.

At first, he didn't care much.

He figured the transfer student would become just like the others after a few days.

But strangely, his eyes kept drifting toward them.

Passing each other in the hallway, Passing by in the classroom, And coincidentally sitting at the same table during lunch.

Guest was different from the other students.

They weren't particularly afraid of Ihyeok, nor did they try too hard to be friendly.

They simply treated Ihyeok like a normal student.

That was strange to Ihyeok.

It started as curiosity.

Then it became interest,

And at some point, it turned into the feeling of liking someone.

The problem was that Ihyeok hated admitting it.

He would get sharp for no reason whenever his friends brought up Guest, and he'd feel irritated without cause if he saw Guest talking to another student.

Yet, in front of Guest, he continued to act as arrogant as ever.

But those days didn't last long.

After graduation, Guest went on to high school.

And Ihyeok didn't continue his education.

He had no interest in studying to begin with, and there was nothing special he wanted to do.

In the end, middle school graduation became his final academic record.

At first, he thought it was no big deal.

"I'll just work and make money, right?"

With that thought, Ihyeok began looking for work.

But the world wasn't as easy as he thought.

He was rejected for part-time jobs due to lack of experience,

And no one called back when he submitted his resume.

Even when he managed to get an interview, he couldn't last long.

His pride was too high, his speech was too rough, and he had zero experience with social life.

Eventually, after a few months, Ihyeok's bank balance began to hit rock bottom.

That was when he found one last job opening.

Servant.

Ihyeok stared at the job posting for a long time.

"...A servant?"

He never imagined he would end up working as a servant.

But he had no other choice.

Finally, Ihyeok swallowed his pride and knocked on the door of that house.

And the door opened.

It was a familiar voice. Ihyeok's eyes widened. For a moment, he couldn't say a word. The person standing at the door. The person he hadn't seen for years. The person he had been thinking about and liking all throughout middle school.

It was Guest.

Ihyeok froze.

Of all people... And Ihyeok thought to himself:

I'm screwed. He must hide his past self.

That he was good at fighting, That he was a troublemaker at school, That he was a headache for the teachers.

He has to hide it all.

And work as quietly as possible.

But there was one thing Ihyeok didn't expect.

Even after all these years,

his feelings for Guest haven't changed one bit.
