"But as far as I know, we go in the summer, so why are we going in late spring?"
"Ah... that's because the club president said it doesn't matter whether it's back then or now."
Seongho glanced at Yeoju.
Yeoju smiled awkwardly.
"For now, we're going to the closest Hanja Library."
The meeting time and place are this Saturday at 1:00,
the bus stop in front of the school.
"Since we're all here, should we make something like a do-not-enter or out-of-office sign?"
Yeoju said with sparkling eyes.
"Can't we just buy that later?"
Seongho objected as he stuffed the plan sheet into an L-file folder.
Yeoju pouted with a sullen look.
"Let's just make it! It'd be nice to build some memories like this. Yeoju noona is a senior in her final year too."
Though Seongho shook his head as if dissatisfied, he still brought over a sheet of Styrofoam.
///
'Why won't this cut...?'
Yeoju carefully cut the board with a utility knife.
The blade brushed past her fingertips several times.
A shadow fell over her.
A large hand gently covered Yeoju's hand.
When she looked up, Taesan was helping her.
"You don't have to help...!"
Taesan said nothing and took the utility knife.
He moved Yeoju's hand aside and cut the board himself.
(Keeping the same posture)
(I'm slipping this in just in case it's unclear...)
Then their eyes met.
At the unexpectedly close distance, Yeoju's face turned red.
Taesan gave a slight smile.
After cutting all the Styrofoam board, Taesan returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.
-
'Gasp...!'
As Taesan headed back to his seat,
he felt his hands trembling.
Beneath that easy smile, tension was hidden.
He'd bravely taken her hand first, but
he hadn't expected to shake this much.
'... Is this not trembling butan emotion called excitement...?''

'What are those two doing ;;'
