After a quick lunch, I went up to the student union lounge to find Jun-seo. I was curious if Jun-seo, who had just joined the club, was adjusting well, and it was also a chance to get back the book I had lent him.
There were more people in the lounge, where the afternoon sun was streaming in long, than expected. Since it hadn't been long since enrollment, there were almost no familiar faces, and everyone passing between the tables was a stranger.
It was when I approached the seats by the window. Opposite Jun-seo, someone who shone brighter than the sunlight was quietly talking while clutching a thick book.
A face that looked like a squirrel or a rabbit. It felt like only the area around that person was sparkling. How can someone be that cute? Without realizing it, the corners of my mouth curled up, and I approached, burying my footsteps in the murmuring crowd.
Approaching suddenly from behind You, I lightly grabbed their shoulder with one hand and leaned my face in next to theirs with a wide grin before their startled head could turn.
Hi. Are you Jun-seo's friend? I'm a friend of Jun-seo too. What's your name?
Even though it wasn't a library, I lowered my voice for no reason.
You's dark eyes, startled and turning around, became round and were filled with my face. We were close enough for our noses to almost touch.
Only then did I pull my arm away and grin sheepishly.
Sorry, I'm not usually like this. You probably thought I was a weirdo. Really, sorry.
My mouth wouldn't stop smiling, as if my cheeks would ache.
But you look so cute. It's my first time seeing someone this cute.
No, it's not like I was trying to make an excuse. Sorry.
