Stuck in 12th grade for the seventh agonizing time, I'm desperate for a way out. My dad, once willing to bribe my way to graduation, has washed his hands of me - especially since discovering my secret: I'm gay and a deviant male to make it worse. His words still echo in my mind: "You're embarrassing me, Tae. I won't waste another dime on your failures. That and also the fact that he loves my annoying step brother Jimin more than me.
But I'm not giving up. When our enigmatic principal, Mr. "Young-at-Heart," arrives, bearing a striking resemblance to my childhood love, Kookie, I'm intrigued. Why does he look so familiar? And why won't Kookie acknowledge me? The sparks that once flew between us are now reduced to awkward encounters and lingering gazes and my determination to seduce him.
As I navigate this never-ending loop, I discover the principal (insert eye rolls and quotes) kookie is leading a mysterious heist crew. I join, hoping to uncover the truth about his identity and Kookie's silence. The thrill of the heists is exhilarating, but the closer I get to the principal, the more questions I have.
Is he really Kookie, or has he just grown over me, or is this something more sinister? Why does he seem to know me, yet pretend otherwise? And what's behind those piercing eyes that make my heart skip a beat?
I'll risk everything to find out. Even if it means confronting Kookie, who's clearly hiding secrets of his own.
Join me on this wild ride of self-discovery, heists, and heartbreak.
