Semester Turned Summer

Minseo Kim thought her exchange semester in the English countryside would end quietly-with sketches of ivy-covered walls and memories of drizzle and textbooks. But when her host family leaves the country unexpectedly, she's placed in the care of Ms. Alis Quinn-a reserved, elegant creative consultant with a manor full of locked doors and half-finished conversations.
Ms. Alis doesn't speak much of herself. She's meticulous, graceful, always composed. But beneath the surface is a quiet intensity Minseo can't ignore. When Minseo stumbles upon Ms. Alis painting in secret-art full of ache and beauty-she begins to see the woman not just as a guardian, but as an artist, a mystery... and something far more complex.
What begins as a temporary living arrangement stretches into summer, and with it, a bond that deepens one shared brushstroke at a time. Between silence and discovery, admiration and something sensual, Minseo finds herself caught in a portrait she longed to pose for.
A slow-burn, age-gap girls' love story filled with longing, intimacy, and restrained emotion-Semester Turned Summer is a delicate study of what happens when two women learn to see, and be seen.
