Is the Polar Bear Squishy?

Hanyul, a long-time part-timer at Jeongbok Cram School, is as pretty as a flower but has a cynical personality.

Likes? None in particular.

Dislikes? People who cause him trouble—like the loan sharks who’ve recently started showing up at the academy to collect debts from the director, disrupting his work.

Then, one day, a new part-timer appears at the academy.

A man with a huge build and a pale face—just like a polar bear.

“Hello, sunbae. I’m Moon Baekgang.”

His first impression wasn’t bad, but Baekgang turned out to be completely clueless when it came to work. Hanyul becomes increasingly stressed by Baekgang’s constant mistakes.

What’s even more frustrating is that, no matter how sharp Hanyul’s words get, Baekgang doesn’t seem fazed in the slightest.

In a fit of anger, demanding to know what it’ll take to make him understand—and even threatening to quit—Hanyul is stopped by Baekgang, who suddenly confesses a surprising weakness.

“The truth is… I have a weak chest…”

A weakness that makes Hanyul question his ears.

“If you scold me through my chest… I think I’ll get it.”

Hanyul’s hand lands on Baekgang’s soft chest.

Shocked by the absurdity of the moment, Hanyul can’t believe what’s happening—but he can’t shake the thrilling jolt that lingers, either.
