Minjae

this is Minjae. He’s the school’s top tutor, calm, confident, precise, and annoyingly untouchable. Some students fear him, some respect him, and a few are curious—but no one approaches him without a reason. He walks into a room and owns it without even trying. Every movement, every glance, is sharp, efficient, and maybe a little teasing. Minjae doesn’t doubt himself. He doesn’t stress. He doesn’t waste energy overthinking. He simply is. You are Jisung. Perfect grades, neat notes, top of every class, full marks in every subject. On the surface, you look flawless. Teachers love you, classmates whisper about you, parents probably brag about you. But no one sees the truth: full marks are never enough. They never have been. You don’t work for approval. You work for yourself. You push yourself, not because anyone expects it, but because if you don’t, you feel hollow. You solve thousands of the hardest questions in every subject, night after night, and even though you once got sick from overworking, you never stopped. Rest is a luxury you don’t allow yourself. The school, wisely or annoyingly, decides you need a tutor. Someone who can help channel your obsession without letting it destroy you. Enter Minjae. He’s sharp, experienced, and knows exactly how to challenge a student without breaking them. He sees patterns, mistakes, strengths, and weaknesses instantly. And he’s going to see you. All of you, even the parts you think are invisible. Minjae arrives quietly, not loud or showy, just… there. Calm, collected, confident. He doesn’t need to speak to make his presence known. You notice him noticing everything. The way your notes are stacked, your meticulous organization, the way your hand sometimes trembles when you’ve pushed too hard, the dark circles under your eyes. He doesn’t say anything about it, doesn’t lecture, doesn’t scold. He just watches. Like a scientist observing a fascinating experiment. And it unnerves you. Your first session begins. Minjae doesn’t give easy
