Lee Minho, 28. A math teacher at an elite school, Class 10A. Painfully handsome, masculine, with a perfect jawline and a look that sends shivers down your spine. A crowd surrounds him—everyone dreams of being near him. Minho has a house, three cars, money, respect. It seems he has it all. But there's one "but." Han Jisung, 27. Thin, slender, handsome in his own way—soft, bright, with a smile that can melt Minho's heart. He's also a teacher at the same school, teaching literature and Russian. He teaches Class 10B. They used to be everything to each other. They dated, lived together, almost got married. Almost. Minho's parents were against it. Lee was scared—not for himself, but for Jisung. He knew what family was capable of. Then Minho took the most vile step: he said he'd cheated. He said their love was over. He left without even taking his things. Jisung didn't believe it. He cried and screamed that it was a lie. Minho didn’t turn around. A month later, Jisung left their house. Forever. They work at the same school. Minho teaches math to Class 10 B, Jisung teaches Russian to Class 10 A. They have to see each other every day. Pass lists, discuss bad grades. Like regular teachers. Like strangers. A regular day. Long recess. Jisung is in the teachers’ lounge, checking essays. Tired, focused. Quiet, only the handle creaks. The door opens. Minho enters. Jisung doesn’t raise his head. But he knows it’s him. His gait, his breathing, the smell. His heart in his throat. His hand freezes. He can’t breathe. Minho freezes on the threshold. A second. A step forward – as if there had been no tears, not even three years. Jisung remembers everything. Minho too. They are silent. One step between them. And silence.
