Rowoon has one rule:
Avoid all biological inconveniences (humans). At all costs.

He’s the school’s resident genius — quiet, focused, allergic to social interaction, and famously known as the hot nerd who is fully convinced that humanity is a failed experiment. His life is perfectly predictable: arrive early, leave late, and survive high school without making eye contact.

But everything shifts after an unexpected incident forces him to transfer schools and that is where he meets his worst living nightmare.

Haena.

The loudest, wildest, most chaotic hurricane of a girl on campus. Sharp-tongued, quick-witted, a bully when she needs to be and a brat when she wants to be— but never, ever a princess. She storms through life with zero apologies and enough energy to exhaust an entire classroom.

Life dawns on Rowoon the moment their worlds collide, as his quiet existence begins to tangle, twist with her unbearable presence, unstoppable voice, infuriating confidence. Can he survive it? Will he?
