Two Tigers, Too Close

When Kang Ji-Hwan, a notorious brawler, is forced to transfer to a new school, he never anticipates depending on the class’s top academic achiever. However, an accidental encounter changes everything. After inadvertently tearing the uniform of model student Han Yu-Seong, Ji-Hwan catches sight of a fierce tiger tattoo concealed beneath the fabric. Armed with this unexpected discovery, Ji-Hwan proposes a transactional arrangement: he will protect Yu-Seong’s secret in exchange for private tutoring sessions. Determined to drive his unwanted study partner away, Yu-Seong retaliates by escalating their interactions with bold and intimate teasing. Yet his strategy backfires entirely. Rather than retreating, Ji-Hwan finds himself increasingly captivated by the composed student's hidden intensity. What begins as a calculated effort to create distance transforms into an undeniable magnetic pull between them. Beneath their polished exteriors, both young men harbor the untamed spirit of tigers. As secrets blur the lines of their agreement and emotional tension mounts, Ji-Hwan and Yu-Seong are drawn into a volatile dynamic where the space between them shrinks dangerously. For two boys guarding sharp claws and guarded hearts, navigating this proximity may prove far more perilous than either anticipated.
