Han Juwon just wants a normal college life, but his unfortunate habit of looking like a thug whenever he gets embarrassed makes that nearly impossible. Despite his intimidating scowl and sharp tongue, Juwon is actually a soft-hearted nervous wreck who overthinks everything. His troubles peak when he tries to make amends with Lee Jeong-min, a muscular and stoic junior he accidentally offended. Instead of clearing the air, Juwon finds himself repeatedly tripping into compromising positions—specifically ones involving Jeong-min's very firm chest.
As Juwon frantically tries to repair their relationship, he fails to notice that Jeong-min's stone-faced silence isn't anger, but a mask for his own deep-seated crush. High Clear is a refreshing campus romance that plays with expectations, featuring a "gap moe" dynamic where the scary-looking senior is an internal panic disaster and the intimidatingly buff junior is a devoted admirer. Readers looking for a low-angst, high-fluff comedy with green-flag characters and plenty of steamy reversals will fall in love with this athletic duo.
