In fact, a library is a facility that has been neglected over time as much as a local bookstore.

With the development of online bookstores, you can have books delivered directly to your home at a low price at any time, and you can purchase e-books in PDF format and read the books you want whenever and wherever you want without having to carry the books around.

This meant that by manually making book certificates and keeping the return date, people no longer had to come back to borrow outdated books.

However, it was not a useful place to study.

The old chairs were hard, and unlike cafes and reading rooms, there were no chargers, a necessity for modern people.

It is no longer an attractive place to study for young people.

Thanks to this, most of the customers using the library were middle-aged people who were not familiar with the Internet or cafes.

“It’s a big deal that Jina wants to study with me.”

So, the two young female students who appeared in such a place for the first time in a while were bound to be subjects of interest to them. Even more so if they both have outstanding looks.

“So you’re dissatisfied?”

“Of course, you are always welcome if you can be with our cute Jina!”

“You brought the right things to study, right?”

“Then. then. I brought the perfect snack like this!”

Another long-haired girl smiled brightly at the short-haired girl who asked suspiciously, and took out various snacks from her bag.

There was so much of it that it completely filled one side of the desk.

Jina, the short-haired girl, looked at Yeseul’s behavior in astonishment.

“Are you going to eat all of this today?”

“We are a sports team. You have to eat this much to maintain your weight.”

“I’m not going to eat it, so figure it out yourself.”

“Are you afraid that your brother will hate you if you gain weight?”

“Well, it’s not like that.”

Jina was taken aback by Yeseul’s sudden attack.

Why are you talking about your brother here?

Looking at Jina who was surprised, Yeseul began to question her as if she had caught Geonsu.

“Now that I think about it, how did the date with you last time go?”

“We came here to study. And since this is the library, you can’t make noise.”

“Wow, Jin-ah, you used your brain.”

“…Don’t pat my head.”

Yeseul smiled and stroked Jin-ah’s head as if she already knew what she was up to, so Jin-ah took her hand away.

Yeseul’s words were correct.

After my date with my brother that day, I was avoiding Yeseul who persistently asked me about the results.

Of course, Jina knew that these questions would come up when she came to study together.

So I deliberately chose a library where conversation was difficult, but…

“But what? It looks like everyone will be lenient, right?”

Yeseul pointed in the direction where the people were with the pen she was holding.

There were men and library staff with happy smiles.

One thing Jina overlooked was that it was early in the morning, so there were few people using the library, and that there were not many people who disliked the sight of pretty middle school girls playing around with each other in a boring library.

People who wanted to study seriously would have gone to the reading room, and people who wanted to read books would have spent time at large bookstores that had more sophisticated books.

To sum it up, it means that they are good eye candy for people who stop by to kill time because they have nothing to do.

Jina, who had no idea of such a fact, could not help but be taken aback by the unexpected reactions of those around her.

“So? How was your date then? If I had followed my advice, it wouldn’t have been strange if I had received a proposal that day, but I guess it’s impossible to get married since I’m still in middle school.”

“…How far are you going out alone? I just played normally. We eat together and watch a movie together. Stop by a cafe and that’s it.”

At “. What is this trivial? I thought there was at least another deep kiss.”

“Key, kiss!? Well, there’s no way you could do something like that.”

At that moment, Jina’s voice changed.

In response to her innocent friend’s reaction, Yeseul thought to herself, ‘After all, it’s a real natural monument.’

‘Well, that’s cute though.’

Of course, I didn’t make the mistake of saying it out loud because I knew that it was her friend Jina who got upset and wouldn’t even see her face for at least three days.

“Ah, anyway, this is the end of the story. let’s study! Study!”

Jin-ah, whose neck was red from embarrassment, shouted loudly as if trying to gloss over what had just happened.

In the process, she unconsciously created a phenomenon in which the gaze inside the library, which was already directed at them, became even more focused, and only then did Jina, perhaps realizing her actions, bury her face in the desk with a single word.

“…I want to die.”

“Wouldn’t you please watch it because it was cute?”

“You are the worst.”

After chatting casually for a while, Jina and Yeseul entered study mode in earnest.

“By the way.”

“…I think only 10 minutes have passed since our textbook letter?”

“In the first place, studying is most effective if you take it easy.”

Yeseul put down the pen she was holding and stretched out slyly.

Jina looked at Yeseul with a puzzled expression as she massaged her shoulders as if she was tired.

“Then, if my allowance is cut again, I won’t know?”

Jina recalled her friend’s last final exam score.

You were probably ranked 1299th out of 1310 students in your school, right?

Even considering that I was focusing more on basketball than studying, it was a very bad score.

“Oh, that’s right. There’s something I’ve wanted to ask for a long time.”

“What is it?”

“Jina, how do you get such good grades? It looks like you don’t even go to academy.”

In comparison, Jina was showing quite excellent results.

Even though they are not competing for first or second place in the entire school, they are always at the top of their class.

“Well, it just happened to come out that way. Nothing special.”

It was a question I asked half-heartedly, but Jina’s reaction was a little strange.

Judging from the experience I had developed after being friends with Jin-ah for over a year, I had a strong feeling that this was related to her older brother.

Interest piqued in an instant.

“Oh, by any chance that guy is actually a tutor? Hmm, it’s definitely a dream, a secret date with a handsome male teacher.”

“It’s not like that…”

“Then? Oh, is studying something more secret than studying textbooks? Do you even do it in bed?”

“Well, that can’t be possible! I just watch your studies occasionally.”

Jina was very upset.

Then, just like before, the eyes of the people in the library turned towards them.

“It’s all because of you. I said something strange for no reason.”

Jina, who quickly covered her face with a textbook, spoke to Yeseul in a resentful voice.

“Jina’s excellent grades were thanks to her cool and handsome tutor brother. Memo.”

“Don’t do it.”

Jinah slapped Yeseul’s hand away as she pretended to write something down on her palm while smiling mischievously.

“Then why did you ask to study with me today? Of course, it’s good for me, but for Jin-ah’s progress in dating, it would have been much better for us to study together.”

“That’s…”

“That’s…?”

“I don’t know!”

Jina finally reached the limit of her patience and threw the empty bag at Yeseul.

Watching Yeseul apologize with a grinning smile, Jina thought of her brother at home.

Of course, it wasn’t that Jina didn’t like studying with her brother.

only…

‘It’s so bad for your heart.’

Anyone who has ever learned to study from my brother will agree.

My brother at that time was very dangerous in many ways.

That day I learned for the first time that too much happiness can lead to pain.

**

‘…It’s so bad for the heart.’

Yuna was thinking the exact same thing as Jina.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, no. Um, how far did you go?”

“Here is the second example of the problem. Should I take a break for a moment?”

“Ah, yes, that would be nice. I’m thirsty, so I’ll just bring some water.”

“Can I get you some water?”

“It’s because I felt dizzy for a moment. Mr. Yoosung, please stay still and don’t move.”

Yuna, who spoke frantically, quickly got out of her room before Yoosung could say anything.

“…What on earth was that?”

Yuna, still clutching her pounding heart, slid down to the floor.

When I first asked him to teach me how to study, I actually didn’t have high expectations.

I didn’t really think that I would still remember the process I learned a few years ago.

But the actual result was beyond imagination.

Not only did he remember the entire process, as if he were a high school senior who had just taken the college entrance exam, but he also explained it to her in an easy-to-understand manner.

The process was so natural that Yuna thought for a moment that she was receiving expensive tutoring.

I thought that with this, even if she was unable to keep up with the progress of school because she almost skipped the first year of high school, she would be able to take the test with ease.

But who would have guessed that such an unexpected ambush was hidden there.

“…I should go in, right?”

After calming her heart by taking deep breaths for a while, Yuna swallowed her saliva.
