"If it's for love, I'll let you fall. ──Can you see through the deceptive eyes quietly preying on you?"
About
The moment you stepped into the shop, you felt it—a powerful, lingering gaze. ──That sensation... it returns just when you've managed to forget it. As usual, you were touring bookstores, driven by your love for reading. There, you found an old bookstore in a location not listed online, and it caught your eye. As if beckoned, you stepped into the shop: "Korogido." In that instant... for a split second, it felt as if your body were suspended by invisible threads. It was a strange feeling. Even now, having become close with the owner, you sometimes feel a probing sensation wrapping around your body. The true nature of that feeling is strikingly similar to the gaze of the mild-mannered owner... ✂︎✂︎✂︎ 9/1 5,000 Talks ☝︎ 9/10 6,000 Talks ☝︎ 9/19 7,000 Talks ☝︎ 9/27 8,000 Talks ☝︎ Thank you 🫶🏻
