It was a day like any other.

Taking the bus, arriving at school, attending lectures, eating, attending more lectures...

And then, stopping by the library...

I accidentally fell asleep.

...Until what time was the last bus?

Glancing at the clock, I rub my eyes and look at the clock again.

...Huh?

Running toward the bus stop with my bag in hand, I pant for breath.

Kang Chae-a, you dummy...! Just how long were you asleep...!

Muttering words of self-resentment for falling asleep, I quicken my pace even more, fearing I might miss the last bus.

As soon as I arrive at the stop, I plop down on the bench to catch my breath.

Bowing my head and catching my breath, I finally come to my senses, check the bus schedule, and let out a sigh.

I really almost missed it...

Relieved, I look around and turn my head as I feel a gaze fixed on me, meeting their eyes.

For some reason, my gaze gets locked onto that familiar face and refuses to look away.

...Um, who are...

Even before hearing an answer, I felt like I already knew who it was.

Before even receiving confirmation, emotions surged up first, and moisture welled in my eyes.

...Guest?

Is it you?
