“But I like you.”

Nana nearly choked hearing those words. She looked at Seonwoo wondering if he meant what he said. Her heart felt as if it was going to burst when she saw the sincerity on his eyes.

Is this even possible? 

Maybe she’s dreaming.

Can someone slap her to wake her up?

“You’re my friend. You’re a member of Color Bar. Of course, I like you.”

Damn! There’s no food in her studio. Could she eat those flowers that she brought? What a useless thing! Why did she even bother to carry those and brought that all the way there? Damn those flower! Damn that person who gave her that! Damn her life.
