-A few years ago-

L/n Y/n, a top student of his school and the only child of an average family. Y/n however is not very good socially, how good he was at academics is how bad he was with social interaction. Studying is everything for him, leaving him no time to make friends.

The L/n family weren't poor, but it's not like they can also spend with a degree of leniency either.

Y/n was very much aware of their family budget. With this, he uses his smarts and tutors other students for money. At first he had trouble as it seemed inappropriate for him to look for "dumb students" to teach. But his mother was very supportive and tried to find Y/n some tutees as his mom thought that meeting new people is also a remedy for his son's lack of friends.

His first tutee was Jihyo, a junior and a close family friend. Y/n and Jihyo have known each other ever since grade school. She's Y/n's first friend and consists of 50% of his total friend count.

"Hey, Y/n? Are you gonna eat your pancakes?" A voice said as Y/n looked at the source who disturbed his reading.

"I thought you already ate at your house..." Y/n sighed.

"But I'm still hungry!" The girl said.

"Fine, you can have it, Momo." Y/n replied.

"Thank you so much!" Momo responded.

Momo, is the other 50% of Y/n's friend list. A girl next door who's younger than Y/n but is in the same grade and school. The two go to school together and go home together. Momo often visits the L/n residence to... eat.

"This girl..." Y/n sighed.

After Momo ate a share of Y/n's breakfast, the two then walked together to school. It was an average day for Y/n. Momo was asleep in some of the classes but all in all, it was a boring day.

Lunchtime came by and still nothing... Momo and Jihyo were sitting at the same table as Y/n who was, as usual, reading a book.

Afternoon classes began shortly, again nothing was out of the ordinary. Until...

"Y/n please see me after classes." Y/n's math teacher said. Math was Y/n's strong suit, he was the best when it comes to numbers so he doesn't really know why he needs to see his teacher later.

Classes ended and Y/n went straight to the faculty room. He was never one to overthink, he thought that there was another math contest and that his teacher wanted to ask him to join which he'll oblige, especially if there's a cash prize.

He arrived at the faculty room and met up with his math teacher.

"Ah, Y/n, you're here!" His teacher exclaimed.

"What is it all about sir? Another contest?" Y/n asked.

"No... I need to ask though, are you still offering your tutoring services?" His teacher asked back.

"Depends, really..." Y/n replied.

"See, there's a girl from a nearby school. She's the daughter of a friend of mine and she's not doing the best at her math and science subjects." His teacher explained.

"Name the price then, teach." Y/n said as his teacher whispered to him an amount of money.

It was double his usual rate and that was enough for him to say yes.

"Alright, I'll do it." Y/n said as his teacher smiled.

"Great, start tomorrow." His teacher responded as he gave out a slip of paper. Y/n opened the paper and saw the address.
