Even though the female lead secretly loved him and tried to protect and care for him, her efforts were ultimately limited. The male lead, burdened by these hardships, became withdrawn and didn't reciprocate her kindness. Alone and facing his darkest moment, he nearly dropped out of school and even contemplated suicide. Fortunately, he met a wonderful teacher who guided and cared for him. From then on, he studied diligently, and the female lead, wanting to catch up, also studied hard.
