I was prepared to flunk statistics.
I was not prepared for the tutor who hates studying with me.

Failing my stats midterm comes with a bonus nightmare: mandatory tutoring in the math lab if I want to stay in the class—and keep my financial aid.

That’s how I end up assigned to Adrian Cho: older, terrifyingly smart, and unfairly hot in a “color-coded binder and sharp cheekbones” kind of way.

He’s all rules and structure. No phone. No multitasking. He explains it once; I have to do it alone.
I’m anxious chaos with tragic notes, worse snacks, and a brain that blanks the second numbers hit the page.

On paper, we’re a disaster.
In the tiny, glass-walled study rooms on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, we’re something else.

The more Adrian drags me through confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, the more I start to want things I definitely can’t put on the syllabus: his hand on the back of my neck when I panic, his voice in my ear telling me I’m doing so good, his mouth on mine when we’re supposed to be talking about sampling distributions.

But between my scholarship hanging by a thread and his professor pushing him toward a “real” research career, lines blur fast.
If I drop the class, do I lose him too?
And if he stops being my tutor… can he still be my something-more?

The Tutor Who Hates Studying With Me is a steamy, new-adult gay romance with: anxious disaster × organized overachiever, forced tutoring, mutual gay panic, binder-based love language, and one very determined stats boy who has to learn he doesn’t need a perfect grade to be worth loving.
