EP-07. Come into our department? (1)

여주

"..Uh. Please take care of me too."

11:56 PM

Yeoju also smiled at Sejeong and held her hand. And then, somehow, it was midnight. Yeoju, who seemed to have unintentionally lost count of the night, tossed and turned in bed, trying to sleep. However, sleep did not come easily, and eventually, she got out of bed.

여주

"Oh, I can't sleep."

김세정

"Where are you going?"

Sejeong stopped talking on her phone and looked at Yeoju. Yeoju was changing clothes.

여주

"I can't sleep, so I'm going to go outside and get some fresh air. Is the school door open?"

김세정

"Of course it's open. It's open to all classes except for the students' classes in the main building."

여주

"Okay, I'll be back."

.

Yeoju was wandering around outside the school when she stopped by the library, one of Cheonggang High School's main buildings. As expected, it was decorated in a European style, elegant and luxurious. The ceiling was ornate yet monotonous, like a British library, and the books were so numerous that it seemed like she could never read them all in her lifetime.

여주

"wow.."

서연우

"Are you a school student?"

여주

"yes."

서연우

"Then please write your grade, class, number, and name here."

A man sitting at a desk near the library entrance handed Yeoju a book and asked her to write her name in it. For a moment, Yeoju's homeroom teacher (grade) came to mind. Then she smiled and wrote her name.

여주

"Haha, here it is."

서연우

"thank you."

Yeoju entered the library and carefully examined the books. Sometimes she quickly flipped through them, and sometimes she only read the last part.

여주

"Oh, over here!"

The heroine quickly approached, perhaps having found what she was looking for. It was a place marked 'Thriller Novel', and she stepped into it.

여주

"This is a masterpiece..."

The book the heroine picked up was "The Frog Killer," a novel with a rather high level of description. It was closer to horror than thriller, but it was perfect for the heroine who liked that type of book.

여주

"Still... it's a little scary to read before going to bed."

The heroine put the book back in the gap between the pages and looked around elsewhere. She kept looking and soon found several books she liked.

여주

"Deadman... that would be fun!"

01:42 AM

The heroine seemed to like the book, so she sat down at her desk, clutching it tightly in her hand. Then she opened the book and read for a long time. It was already 2 a.m. As she sat alone at the long desk, reading the book, a man sat down next to her.

"..."

He opened his laptop and seemed to be working on an assignment. After about ten minutes of typing, either done or bored, he closed the laptop and took out a thick book, likely a textbook, to work on a problem. The only sounds in the library were the sound of pages turning and the rustling of pages.

"widely."

The heroine, who had finished the book, finished reading by closing the cover at the very back. Then, suddenly, curious about the person next to her, she turned her head to the left.

(You can tell who it is just by looking at it, right? If there's anyone who guesses in the comments, I'll serialize it in the next episode.)
