My name is Kim Yeo-ju. My mother gave me that name, telling me to grow up like the main character of my own life. I don't know if I'm actually living that way, though.
These days, no, throughout my entire life, the thing I've loved most is comics. Perhaps that's why I liked the name "Yeoju," but my favorite name was "Kurounuma." Ever since I was little, I've loved the manga "To Reach You." Naturally, my first love was Kazehaya.
So I always envied Kuronuma. I wanted to be Kuronuma too. I was naturally white and had straight hair, so I tried growing it out like Kuronuma, but the male lead of my life never came.
Until the summer of my 17th year.
He transferred into our class in the summer of his seventeenth year. He had black hair with a hint of brown, large, bright eyes, a slender face straight out of a comic book, and a tall stature. For some reason, his smile reminded me of Kazehaya.
“Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Choi Beom-gyu.”
Choi Beom-gyu. Even his name sounded like a comic book protagonist. He greeted his classmates with a slightly shy smile. That shy smile tickled my heart, and even his neatly dressed uniform stirred my heart.
So the male lead of my life came to me on that hot summer day.
