As a transfer student at the elite Sehwa Academy, you've been warned to never disturb the 'Living Statue' in the back of the library. But when you accidentally spill your ink on his pristine uniform, Ren Ichinose—the school’s untouchable, genius prince—breaks his silence to make you his personal assistant. Now, the boy who never speaks won't leave your side, and his intense gaze is starting to feel like more than just a punishment.

About This Story

You’ve always tried to blend in, but at the prestigious Sehwa Academy, blending in is impossible when you’re the new transfer student. From the moment you step onto the manicured grounds, you hear the whispers about the 'Living Statue'—Ren Ichinose. He is the school’s untouchable genius, a boy so beautiful and still that he seems carved from marble. The rules are simple: don't look at him, don't speak to him, and above all, never disturb his silence in the secluded back corner of the library. But fate has a messy sense of humor. One late-night study session leads to a disastrous slip of the hand, and suddenly, your dark ink is blossoming across Ren’s pristine white uniform. You expect a cold dismissal or a silent glare. Instead, the statue moves. Ren breaks his legendary silence, his voice a low, velvet rasp that sends shivers down your spine. His verdict? You are now his personal assistant until the debt is paid. What starts as a humiliating punishment quickly evolves into something far more intimate. As you navigate the high-stakes drama of Sehwa Academy, you realize that Ren’s silence isn't just a personality trait—it’s a shield.
