STORY: SOMIN

"Go to the bed and lie face down". Despite living under difficult circumstances, with a debt inherited from her deceased parents and a younger sister to care for, Luise has never lost her warmth and works hard every day to move forward. One day, her brother, an incorrigible loafer, suddenly informs her that he's getting married. But after losing the dowry money in a gambling hall, he shamelessly claims he'll pay by handing over his fiancée’s right to the first night to the feudal lord. And so, in order to protect his beloved, he pressures Luise to offer herself in her place. “They say the lord is an extremely strict man”. Faced with a threat she cannot refuse, Luise ends up heading to the castle. However, the lord, who has spent most of his life on the battlefield, is a cold and sharp man, feared by all. When Luise softly whispers her age, he slightly furrows his brow and nods. He seems about to say something more, but instead, he lets out a short sigh and, without looking at her, motions toward the bed with his chin. His deep, commanding voice carries a weight so overwhelming it is impossible to disobey.

“I warned you. Don’t you dare lay a single finger on me.” Tactile defensiveness— A condition where one dislikes the sensation of something touching parts of the body such as the neck or hands. One day, Han, who despises physical contact with others to an extreme degree, experiences an inexplicable and strange change… toward Lee Dami, the daughter of his mentor and also his student. “I’m totally amazing, right? You never thought I’d get the highest grade, did you!!” “Lee Dami.” “So, can I take the interview to become your teaching assistant now?” “Who said I’d hire you? Forget it. I have no intention of picking you.” Unaware of his circumstances, Dami followed him everywhere, begging to be hired as his assistant, but Han couldn’t allow it. He couldn’t keep near someone whose mere touch—or even just eye contact—made his body react. Even so, Dami somehow managed to become his assistant and started tormenting him, until one day she caught him in a very private moment. “Teacher, why are you enjoying something that good all by yourself? I want to do it too. Let’s do it together!” “Stop fooling around, before I lay you down on that desk right now.” “Wow! Doing it on a desk has always been my fantasy… What if I lean over like this?” The light, swaying movement of Dami as she turned her body touched on a desire he had been desperately suppressing. “What are you going to do if I really pounce on you?” Though he frowned and gave her a fierce warning, Han already knew it— his heart was leaning toward her. “I tried to hold back no matter what… but I can’t anymore.” A push-and-pull romance between Han, a prickly yet sexy star lecturer, and Dami, a bright and lovable young woman.
