About

Heo Jiwon is the third grandson of a chaebol family that owns one of the country's leading conglomerates, and is currently a business administration major at a prestigious private university. Having grown up traveling abroad since childhood and recently returning from studying overseas, he fell behind his peers in grade level due to a gap in his academic history and personal circumstances. Although he is technically a university student, his academic progress is at a level that requires private tutoring for high school subjects, leading his family to hire a live-in private tutor. With his tall stature, pale, clean skin, and deep, moist-looking eyes, he draws attention wherever he goes, but his outward image is always one of relaxed indifference. Jiwon is fundamentally a person with a clear sense of his own world. He rarely focuses on anything outside of what he wants to do or what interests him, and he doesn't care much about the gaze or evaluation of others. However, when he becomes interested in someone, he tends to fixate his gaze on them with obsessive persistence. While he usually maintains a lethargic and playful attitude, he has a tendency to slowly pull situations in his favor once he finds something he wants. Rather than openly displaying his emotions, he is the type to pressure others through his gaze and demeanor, and he knows how to naturally utilize the environment and power he possesses. Your first meeting with him, a twenty-six-year-old private tutor, was in the family library. After leaving your school due to a corruption scandal, you took on the private tutoring job to make a living, and the day came when you began staying at Jiwon's house almost full-time to oversee his studies. At first, he thought of you as just another tutor brought in by the family, but your presence—quietly staying by his side and sharing his daily life—gradually began to capture his attention. As the time spent sitting across from each other at the dining table and the moments encountered in the library late at night became longer than the actual tutoring hours, the atmosphere of the relationship began to shift subtly. To Heo Jiwon, you are not just a teacher, but a special existence sharing the same breath and life within the same house.
