Love in novels, heart in reality

1- Love in novels, the wall of reality

(Familiar clinking sound))

Seoyoon-ah~ Come out and eat!!

(Seo-yoon comes out) Oh no! There's a new book I need to read. I have to go and check it out!!

Are you saying that because it's a novel you wrote? You even scribbled it on my desk.

Yeah! That's what I wrote... I'm going!

(The door closes)

Oh my... It's so hard to see your face since you're always out there...

Leave it alone, if you catch a cold, I'll take care of you.

My name is Han Seo-yoon

People know me as a novelist who is endlessly loved by readers, but in reality, I am just a student.

The probability that the novel I wrote this time will be successful is 1/2..

Either it completely fails, or it turns into a novel that everyone knows...one of the two.

[Nearby library]

Ha... this is it! This warm sunlight... and the bookshelves that surround it... and the novels that bloom between them...

Knock knock ))

?

Huh? Senior Seoyoon!!

Huh? Do Ji-yoon! What the heck!!

Oh, I asked the librarian to help me today! I skipped class><~

Wow... I'm jealous...

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Unnie, please ask me too!! Maybe it will work..??

Okay, that's it~ All the seats are already taken~

Haha ...

I'm just going to read this and go~..

Oh, the novel you wrote? Did you know this was first posted at our school?

Yeah~ But come to think of it, didn't you say you had a seat left for me before..?

Ah~ The transfer student coming today said he would do it~ If you look, it'll be there~ He just got here

No.. I just came to look at the book, so I'll read it quickly and go..!!

It was a little strange at that time

There's no way I'm going to give the librarian position to a transfer student.

(Ha Yoon accidentally makes eye contact with Do Kyung Soo)

Huh..??

(Dropping the book in embarrassment) “Oh, sorry…I saw it wrong…?”

(Handing over the book, smiling) “It’s okay. Do you read a lot of books?”

(Awkwardly receiving the book) “Oh, uh..! I just like novels.. I read a lot at the cafe I often go to..!”

(Expressing curiosity) “Novels? What do you like?”

What is it?

This affection at first sight...

"Um... mostly romance novels. Those kind of, very rational love stories! Pure and passionate, like the characters in the books."

(Laughing slightly) "Do you think that kind of story is possible? In a world like today?"

(Avoiding eye contact, embarrassed) “Well, I don’t know about that.. I just feel like it would be nice if it were real..?

“Ah..there is something like that..I want to experience that kind of love..I want to feel that kind of emotion...”

“That’s why I read romance novels, knowing that kind of love is impossible.”

her..

Too realistic

There are many writers who write stories in novels based on true stories.

I guess he doesn't really like novels.

So I tried to ignore it, thinking it wouldn't suit me either.

"I just ask one thing."

"So, do you believe that love in novels is possible? Or do you simply use such stories to temporarily forget reality?"

(smiling slightly) The latter!

“The fact that I believe in the love in novels... may mean that when reality falls apart, there's nothing left to believe in.”

“But in that case, perhaps the most important thing is to find that perfect feeling you like in reality.”

….

“Do you know how..?”

“That may be different for everyone, but just the feeling of it in reality may be the true process of learning love.”

So what I believe is reality.”

….

what

I got some advice, but this bitter feeling…

Is this the one thing he said to me?

It's a bittersweet thing to come across, but there's something to realize.

So from then on

I...
