One day, less than a month after entering high school.
I don't hang out with anyone and am isolated all alone
I found a girl.
There were a lot of cucumbers in today's school lunch menu, so I didn't eat it.
When I returned to the classroom alone, I saw that girl.
[(Minhyuk) Ah, seriously, cold cucumber soup, pickled cucumbers, and jjolmyeon packed with cucumbers... Does that even make sense? How can they serve such a stingy(?) school lunch?? Ah, I feel so wronged haha-]
[(Female Lead) ...]

[(Minhyuk) ..Oh, hi? Um, your name is Kim Yeoju, right?]
[(Female Lead) ...]
??
-Lee Min-nyeok, 17 years old, ignored for the first time in my life-
[(Minhyuk) ..Ahem. Alright, I won't talk to you.]

"What on earth are you doing to ignore what I say?!"
I looked to the side and saw someone diligently drawing something in a notebook.
At first glance, a girl riding a whale
And it seems like it was there.
I stared intently at the girl drawing in her notebook
He let out a deep sigh and finally spoke to me.
[(Female Lead) ..You said you wouldn't talk to me. You look like you're about to start spitting out words at any moment?]
[(Minhyuk) I didn't say I wouldn't watch it!]
[(Minhyuk) By the way, you seem to be really good at drawing~ Can I take a look at your notebook?? I really like drawing too!]
[(Female Lead) ..Do as you please.]
Now, let's open the notebook.
A sandy beach full of seashells,
Seashore where the waves are light,
Dolphins swimming in a pod under the full moon,
A whale spouting water from its back
...
All the drawings related to the sea filled the notebook densely with affection and care.
So, Kim Yeo-ju's first impression was just
A slightly reserved girl who loves the sea very much.
That was all.

I didn't know back then,
I never thought that girl would shake my life to its core.
