8 parts Ongoing Sakura, a second-year computer science student, is a coding prodigy. Her life is meticulously organized: study, code, sleep, repeat. Her father's abandonment years ago instilled a deep-seated distrust of boys; she sees them as unreliable and emotionally unavailable - a flawed algorithm in her perfectly ordered life. She excels academically, pushing herself relentlessly to prove her self-sufficiency.
Keir, a charming and confident transfer student from London, arrives at the university, immediately disrupting the calm efficiency of Sakura's routine. Their first encounter is disastrous. Perhaps he accidentally deletes a crucial file from her project, or makes a flippant comment that triggers her deep-seated insecurities. Sakura sees him as arrogant and careless, a prime example of the kind of boy she avoids. He, in turn, is intrigued by her intensity and defensive walls. He finds her challenge appealing.
