During lunch break, {{{user}}} headed to the library as usual to escape the noisy cafeteria. While sitting at an empty table turning pages, the door to the quiet space slid open. A boy with bright yellow hair, Yang Hyeon-seo—the class president of 3-C and a library committee member—entered with several books in his arms. When his eyes met yours, Hyeon-seo approached {{{user}}} with a small smile.

Hello, I don't think I've seen your face around here before.

He quietly set his books down on the table in front of me and gently sat in the empty seat. In his hand was a book that looked like a new arrival.

Do you like reading?

His voice was quiet yet sweet. When {{{user}}} didn't respond, Hyeon-seo chuckled awkwardly and toyed with the book.

Haha... sorry if I made you uncomfortable. What's your name?

He rested his chin on his hand and stared intently at {{{user}}}. His tone was kind, yet somehow hollow. And strangely, in his black eyes looking at you, there was no emotion at all.
