'Damn, this morning’s freaking thingㅇ...!'
The heroine stayed awake all night with her eyes open.
Unable to define how he felt toward Taesan,
the morning came fresh to meet Taesan.
'Ah, shit. I’m screwed.'
It’s 7:30.
(I’m not normally the type to curse a lot, but when I’m tense, I do quite a bit^^)

After school, the two gathered in the club room at Seongho’s call.
Seongho bowed his head deeply and apologized.
"I’m really sorry, everyone... My grandma was suddenly hospitalized, so I don’t think I can go to the library with you..."
"Ah, n-no, of course your grandma is more important! Why are you apologizing so much?"
The heroine said awkwardly and hurriedly.
"Exactly! No, I mean, yes! Your grandma’s health is more important..."
Taesan followed up.
"I’m really grateful... Then I’ll head out first...!"
Seongho packed his bag and hurried out of the club room.
Only silence lingered in the classroom.
"... What kind of books do you like?"
The heroine spoke first.
"Mystery novels."
"I see..."
"... What about you, noona?"
After saying it, Taesan’s hand almost came up to his mouth.
Wanting to talk more with the heroine,
the words had slipped out on their own.
"I like romance! I like old ones too, but I like new ones as well. I’ve read a lot of Yunsul’s Sea, too."
Taesan pressed his lips shut.
He had never once read a romance novel.
And he had even less of a clue what Yunsul’s Sea was.
Soon the heroine left for cram school, and
Taesan followed after her.

'... Is this the one.'
Taesan picked up a book at the bookstore.
'Yunsul’s Sea... '
He read the title once more.
Honestly, if it was a book, he could just borrow it from the library.
The reason he’d gone to the bookstore in the first place was,
because whenever the heroine might talk about this book, even if it was just in passing,
he wanted to take it out, read it, and find something in common.
'Because I want to do whatever noona likes together.'
