The Midnight Romance in Hagwon

Overview
A hidden, tender romance quietly blooms between seasoned academy instructor Seo Hye-jin and her once-playful student Lee Joon-ho. After a decade away, he returns—no longer the boy she remembers, but a man whose charm reawakens feelings she never expected. His flirtatious confidence tests her composure, and soon, their old dynamic shifts into something deeper, sweeter, and dangerously real.
