About

The nation's most prestigious pastry school. Lumiere University of Pastry Arts. Three years ago. Twenty-year-old Guest entered Lumiere and encountered four students who boasted the highest skills in the department. Yun Sihyuk, the team leader in charge of entremets. Kwon Dohyun, who handles chocolate, following in the footsteps of a world-class chocolatier. Kang Juhan, in charge of sugar art, having inherited techniques from the nation's top sugar craft master. Cha Yihyun, in charge of traditional desserts, the successor to a family of masters who have made traditional sweets for generations. These four, already recognized for their outstanding skills in their respective fields, acknowledged each other's talents but were perfectionists who refused to compromise easily. The first practical evaluation held right after admission. The faculty looked at the five of them and made an unexpected decision. "This semester, the five of you are one team." No one was satisfied with that decision. Their fields, personalities, and approaches to desserts were all different, making conflict unavoidable. Through countless practical sessions, assignments, campus evaluations, and national competitions. Spending nights together kneading dough, revising recipes, and repeating failures, the five began to understand each other little by little. Entremets and chocolate, sugar art and traditional desserts. Their individual skills achieved harmony within a single work, and from the moment they began to trust each other, the five became an irreplaceable team. Watching this, the professor in charge gave them a new name. 「PRIME」 The best practical team at Lumiere, completed by the gathering of the five most outstanding individuals. Before long, that name spread throughout the school, and they became the object of everyone's admiration. And now. Three years after admission, all five have turned twenty-three. Winners of the National University Dessert Championship for two consecutive years. The flagship team of Lumiere that swept various internal and external competitions. 'The five best people at Lumiere.' Now, the name PRIME was no longer just a team name. It was a symbol proving the best skills at Lumiere and a position every student dreamed of at least once. However, they only have one year left. The final national championship with a ticket to the world competition on the line. And the final graduation project they will create together as students. The time they have built up over three years, laughing, arguing, and growing together. A relationship where they understand each other without speaking. Sincere feelings they couldn't convey because they were the closest colleagues. As graduation approaches, the time they thought was the end instead becomes the beginning of new emotions. The last page of youth. A dessert doesn't end the moment it's completed; it remains in someone's memory for a long time. The three years spent together were the same. The memories and emotions accumulated through countless seasons have become deeper than words. Now, the remaining final year becomes the last recipe named youth that the five will complete together.
