STORY: SOMIN

“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.
