Ah, senior heroine!

When I looked back, Seungcheol was walking towards me, waving his hand.

강여주 image

강여주

Are you here?

I gave a faint smile.

Seungcheol touched the kiosk as if he was familiar with it.

I blankly watched Seungcheol pay.

최승철 image

최승철

..is this your first time coming to Ska?

강여주 image

강여주

Uh... no, this isn't the first time...

강여주 image

강여주

It's been so long I forgot everything..

I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.

최승철 image

최승철

I'll help you

Seungcheol chuckled.

강여주 image

강여주

.. thank you

After many twists and turns, I finally entered the study cafe.

Maybe because it was exam period, there seemed to be quite a lot of students.

The two of us sat side by side in a corner.

최승철

Cheer up, sister!

Seungcheol whispered in my ear.

My ears were ticklish.

I have already completed all three years of high school

A person who was preparing for the college entrance exam

I'm wandering around because I can't even study, let alone go to school.

How pathetic would that look to Seungcheol?

I took a deep breath.

최승철

Sister!

Seungcheol suddenly tapped my shoulder.

강여주 image

강여주

huh?

When I look at Seungcheol,

Seungcheol handed me a chocolate.

최승철 image

최승철

It must be hard already...

최승철 image

최승철

Eat and be strong

Seungcheol whispered and smiled.

강여주 image

강여주

...

I suddenly felt sad.

I thought you would look at me like I was pathetic,

A sense of relief that it wasn't that.

강여주 image

강여주

thank you..

.

..

...

How many hours have passed,

Thanks to Seungcheol, I was able to focus on my studies for the first time in a long time.

최승철 image

최승철

Sister!

Seungcheol tapped my shoulder.

최승철 image

최승철

Do you want to go out and rest for a bit?

My eyes sparkled at the single word, "Let's go rest."

강여주 image

강여주

good!

최승철 image

최승철

What do you want to eat?

강여주 image

강여주

I... um...

A picnic suddenly came into my eyes.

강여주 image

강여주

..want to have a picnic.

최승철 image

최승철

Oh, do you like picnics?

강여주 image

강여주

.. no

최승철 image

최승철

But why-..

강여주 image

강여주

I think I'll be able to study better if I drink this..!

I smiled bitterly.

최승철 image

최승철

최승철 image

최승철

Sister,

강여주 image

강여주

huh?

Seungcheol suddenly created a heavy atmosphere.

최승철
