Elyas finds his perfect world crumbling under the sensual, consuming anarchy of Cassian's presence. This isn't a simple study session-it's a confrontation. The Rule Breaker is determined to shatter the scholar's control, and in the process, becomes The Heart Taker.

Yence never meant to stand out in college, especially not for all the wrong reasons. But with his endless streak of forgetfulness (and his ability to break every school rule by accident), he somehow always ends up in front of him, Yeop, the strict and intimidating vice president of the student government. Yeop's sharp eyes miss nothing: untucked shirts, missing IDs, loose ties. Especially Yence's. To Yence, he's the definition of "unreachable" smart, disciplined, and annoyingly perfect. But after one too many hallway confrontations and awkward apologies, Yence starts realizing that behind Yeop's cold exterior might be someone who's just as human... and maybe, just maybe, a little bit flustered too. In a campus filled with deadlines, detentions, and coffee-fueled mornings, Clumsy Boy is a warm, funny, and heart-fluttering story about how one scatterbrained boy keeps stumbling, literally, into love.
