The Chemistry Between Us

THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN US

He was supposed to be her biggest academic problem.
She was supposed to be his temporary tutor.
Neither of them was supposed to fall in love.

Lina Kim has her entire future planned out.

Perfect grades.
MIT.
A career her parents can be proud of.

Then Choi Yeonjun walks into Room 214 late, lazy, and completely uninterested in chemistry.

Unfortunately for him, Lina is the only person their teacher trusts to help him pass.

What starts as forced tutoring quickly becomes late-night conversations, stolen glances, inside jokes, and a chemistry project neither of them asked for.

Then the rumors start.

And suddenly, everyone is asking the same question:

**Are Lina and Yeonjun actually together?**

The answer should be easy.

It isn't.

Because Yeonjun isn't just the careless soccer player everyone thinks he is. He's carrying the weight of a scholarship, his family's expectations, and a future he's terrified of losing.

And Lina isn't just the perfect student.

She's terrified of failure, terrified of disappointing her parents, and even more terrified that falling for Yeonjun might mean choosing between love and the future she's spent her whole life building.

They have one school year.

One chance.

And a thousand reasons why they shouldn't work.

But sometimes the best things in life aren't the things you planned for.

Sometimes, they're the things you never saw coming.

"So when does long-distance chemistry start?"
