All events, locations, and characters appearing in this story are entirely fictional.

Due to the nature of the setting, there are mentions of pregnancy. (There is no actual pregnancy.)

Kim Jinkyung, who lost his scholarship, is introduced to a good tutoring position. There, he encounters Mok Seongha, a very handsome man in Jeolla Province, trampling on a bloodied man. Determined to somehow get fired from the tutoring position, Kim Jinkyung reveals that he has a serious flaw, but Mok Seongha demands he provide a convincing reason within five seconds.

“I like men!”

“What?”

“I mean, I like men, and a lot!” (He actually does.)

But Mok Seongha insisted “What does that have to do with me?” (It ends up having a lot to do with him), and urges him to sign the tutoring contract. Kim Jinkyung, who reluctantly entered the high-risk, high-paying private tutoring business, falls into a pond with Mok Seongha one day while admiring the flowers in the garden. The soaking wet man disappears, and a massive black panther appears before him.

Following this, Kim Jinkyung discovers Mok Seongha’s secret and signs a hefty contract, locking himself into this high-stakes tutoring position. To survive, he does his best to tutor, constantly looking for a chance to get fired. However, he becomes entangled with a beautiful, reckless, and ignorant man who transforms into a black panther when soaked, ultimately leading to the beginning of his specialty, another unsuccessful, unrequited love.

Gong: Mok Seongha (22 years old)
A man with golden eyes and a handsome appearance that seems to be adorned with sensuality and obscenity. He has a peculiar constitution that transforms him into a black panther when drenched in water or rain. He has a grumpy personality. He dislikes humans. He lacks social skills. He has no sex education. To persuade his terminally ill grandfather, he uses his tutor, Kim Jinkyung, in various ways, and gradually becomes fixated on him, a professional gay man.

Soo: Kim Jinkyung (25 years old)
A man who knew early on that he liked men and has lived a life consumed by unrequited love. He pretends to be promiscuous, saying he likes men too much to get fired from his tutoring job, but in reality, he’s a shy virgin who’s never confessed to anyone he’s liked.
While helping Mok Seongha, who is half panther, half human, he ultimately falls in love with him using his special talent. He dreams of an easy, unrequited love like always, things don’t go the way he expects.
