Ben, a reserved history teacher in his twenties, lives a quiet life at Kiyone Girls’ Academy, an elite boarding school nestled in the mountains. His orderly routine is disrupted when his brightest student, the confident and charming Hannah Grace, unexpectedly arrives at his dorm one evening.
Following an old Kiyone tradition known as the "Marriage Internship," where students practice life skills for future roles as wives, Hannah boldly declares, "I choose you, Ben." Before he can react, she seals her proposal with a kiss, igniting emotions he never expected to feel.
Now, with Hannah moving into his dorm as part of the internship, Ben finds himself torn between his duty as a teacher and the growing affection between them. By day, she is his attentive student; by night, their interactions blur the lines of propriety. Stolen glances in class, lingering touches in the hallways, and secret meetings test his resolve.
*She is mine… but at what cost?*
