Moving to Seoul was supposed to be a fresh start for Chojoyce. A new city, a position as an English teacher, and a chance to finally prove she could survive on her own. She expected a challenge, but she didn't expect Ji-hoon. ​To the rest of the faculty, he is a permanent fixture of silence in the back of the classroom. A "lazy" student with failing grades and no future. To Chojoyce, he is a mystery she is determined to solve. But the quiet boy who can't pass a simple vocabulary test is a carefully crafted lie. ​One late night in a neon-lit alleyway changes everything. Far from the polished hallways of the Academy, Chojoyce sees the leather jacket, the bruised knuckles, and the predatory edge in Ji-hoon's eyes that he never shows in the light of day. He isn't just a student who needs help; he is a rebel who plays by his own lethal rules. ​When the head of the school tasks her with one job-coach him or he's out, the stakes turn personal. Chojoyce is supposed to be the teacher, but as their private lessons spiral into a high-stakes game of secrets and sacrifice, she realizes she is the one learning a lesson she never signed up for. ​In a city built on reputation, some secrets are better left unread.

"You broke up with me at the time I needed you most... You said I wasn't the one you love... You called me a whore... You said I wasn't your type to begin with... So what would you have me do?" "Beg!" Michael answered instantly. "I expect you to beg for mercy." "You don't deserve my plea, Michael. You aren't worth my tears..." She was about to go further when Michael kissed her roughly to the point that she was having a hard time to breathe. "Is that why you sold yourself to Kelvin?" He asked after releasing her lips. Nora wiped her lips with her knotted hands. She looked at him and without fear, she said, "Whoever I sell myself to is none of your business. As a whore that you called me to be, you shouldn't keep count of how many men if I f**k with." Her response made Michael very angry. He had no choice but to push her and rape her only to find out she was still a virgin.
