The library was a sanctuary of whispers, where the scent of old books mingled with the hushed secrets of students. Ji-eun sat at their usual corner table, her laptop open, and her mind racing to connect the final dots of their project. Min-ah was late, as always, but Ji-eun had grown accustomed to her unpredictable timing.

  When Min-ah finally arrived, her cheeks flushed from running, Ji-eun couldn’t help but notice the way her eyes sparkled. “Sorry,” Min-ah panted, sliding into the seat opposite Ji-eun. “I got caught up in—”

  “—a whirlwind of curiosity?” Ji-eun finished, amused. “You’re like a tempest, Min-ah.”

  Min-ah grinned. “Guilty as charged.”

  As they delved into their project, Ji-eun noticed Min-ah’s fingers tracing patterns on the table. “What’s distracting you today?” Ji-eun asked, her logical mind already formulating theories.

  Min-ah hesitated, then pulled out an old, folded piece of paper from her bag. “This,” she said, her voice barely audible.

  Ji-eun unfolded the paper, her breath catching. It was a love letter, the ink slightly faded, but the words vivid:

  "Ji-eun,

  I’ve watched you from afar, your logical mind a beacon in a sea of chaos. In my previous school, I admired your debates, your unwavering determination. But there was more—a flutter in my chest whenever you spoke, a longing that defied reason.

  And then fate intervened. I transferred here, and there you were—my Ji-eun, my secret muse. I never thought I’d find you again.

  So, here’s my confession: I wrote this letter for you, years ago. I kept it hidden, afraid of revealing too much. But now, as we work together, I realize that logic alone can’t explain the pull between us.

  Maybe, just maybe, our intertwining fates led us here.

  Yours,

  Min-ah"

  Ji-eun’s heart raced. “You liked me?”

  Min-ah blushed, her gaze steady. “I still do.”

  Ji-eun burst into tears and embraced ji-eun with all her passion saying "I loved u too"

  In the sunset, they wallked together hands in hands talking and laughing uniting with each other
