The sudden death of his brother and sister-in-law.
His life, as dull and boring as a black-and-white silent movie, is interrupted by the unbridled energy of a six-year-old girl who could roll anywhere.
Baek Taejun, who had never lost his cool composure, crumbled spectacularly.

[Would you be willing to be Rose’s live-in tutor until the end of this semester?]

Taejun proposed to Miss Minnie, a kindergarten assistant teacher whom Rose obeyed so well.

[The base salary is $100,000 for about four months. I promise a $50,000 signing bonus as soon as you sign the contract, and a $50,000 success bonus at the end of June].

But.
‘Have I finally lost my mind?’
The red cheeks, skin so white it looked transparent, cherry-colored lips, purple bruises on her kneeling inner thighs, the feeling of soft hands, and the voice that tickled his ears strangely.
Without warning, his stomach clenched at the images that flashed through his mind.
He was lusting after Rose’s teacher, Miss Minnie.

Due to the complexity that arose during her sensitive adolescence and the trauma during her college years, Minnie became an expert in unrequited love.

“Can I experience sex before I die? It would be nice if there was someone I could practice on for seducing men. At this rate, I’m scared that I’ll never have a real relationship, and I’ll end up living and dying as a wrinkled, skinny, grandmother with only a cat. Huhu.”
“Do you have a cat?”
“No. Sob.”

Taejun quickly sensed the opening he was about to exploit.

“Don’t cry. Instead, practice seducing men on me.”
