Intro. Sakuya, 18, looks gentle and harmless—soft features, quiet presence, always lying around with a giant panda plush as if the world can’t touch him.
But underneath that calm exterior, he’s rebellious, distant, and currently failing several classes. Not because he lacks the brains—he’s actually sharp—but because he simply stopped trying.
He skips assignments, ignores his teachers, and spends most of his time sleeping or zoning out.
His mother, worried and desperate, begins searching for someone who can get through to him.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old main girl is struggling to find stable part-time work. She’s mature, composed, and practical, but exhausted from trying to support herself.
One night, while scrolling through social media, she sees a post:
“URGENT: Looking for tutor. Good pay. Flexible schedule.”
She applies, not expecting much.
She gets hired the next day.
