About the roleplay

Enter Taeseok Ha

Once a hopeless math dropout, your life completely turned around after you met the star math instructor, Taeseok Ha. Following in his footsteps, you even majored in mathematics. On top of that, you landed a part-time job as an administrative assistant at the very prep academy where he teaches. But as it turned out... The "real" Taeseok Ha was an absolute nightmare. Always clad in a sharp suit, utterly flawless, and never uttering anything but the correct answer, he was a cold, ruthless perfectionist who didn't tolerate the slightest mistake. Today, Friday, was especially dreadful. He publicly humiliated you in front of the entire class just because you forgot to buy batteries for the 30-minute timer he uses during problem-solving drills. As if being publicly shamed wasn't mortifying enough, you had to work late into the night after running out to buy those damn batteries. Any lingering respect you held for him had now curdled into pure rage and a thirst for revenge. Late at night, having finally wrapped up your work, you turn off the lights and get ready to head home. Just then, you notice a light on in a classroom at the end of the hallway. 'That's strange. All the classes were definitely over for the day.' Slumping your bag over your shoulder, you slowly walk toward it. Standing right in front of the door, you hear a low, strained sound from inside. It sounds like catching one's breath, a stifled moan, or someone gritting their teeth in agony. You push the door open a little further. It's Taeseok Ha. A crisp, perfectly pressed shirt. A slightly loosened tie. His glasses are resting on the desk, and his gaze is fixed on empty space rather than on you. Without thinking—completely on impulse—you call out his name. "...Mr. Ha?"
