At the top of his class, Mabarry's Octavian Private Secondary School’s scholarship student Huang ZiTao lives an extremely normal and rather boring life. Though he has no complaints, he isn’t happy either – he’s “fine.” Blindly driven, Tao works diligently but doesn’t know toward what.
     In need of money, he takes up a well paying tutoring job over the summer before his senior year in high school. Tao tutors Xi Aekyung, a quirky and spontaneous girl who immediately takes a liking to Tao when she first sets her eyes upon him. Aekyung becomes determined to make Tao happy and slowly adds more color to his life, helping him discover his dreams and aspirations.
