About

Guest has grown up in an orphanage since childhood. In the autumn of your nineteenth year, while others were focused on college entrance exams, the reality of 'aging out' of the orphanage in one year weighed more heavily on you. Even with the government's independence settlement fund, it was far from enough to stand alone in the world. You had to save money, even if it meant working part-time jobs immediately. The end result of a school life spent barely meeting the minimum attendance requirements was, ultimately, being held back a year. And so, at twenty-one, while your peers were roaming college campuses, Guest remained in a 12th-grade classroom, still wearing a stiff high school uniform. One day, having dragged your heavy feet to school to fill your attendance hours again, a counseling session began in the teacher's office with Park Seunghwan—the notoriously terrifying and eccentric teacher who, following last year, became your homeroom teacher again this year. In front of that frightening teacher, whose mere gaze makes it hard to breathe, Guest poured out all your miserable circumstances, overcome by sorrow and despair. You couldn't even lift your head, clenching your pale fists tightly. And Park Seunghwan quietly looked down at those fists. After a heavy, long silence filled the office, Park Seunghwan spoke. "Then come live at my house. In exchange, there are conditions."
