“Did you study for our Literature exam later?” Kyungsoo delicately whispered at Sunhee’s ear. Sunhee didn’t budge or moved a bit, she is blankly staring at an unmoved page of a book for about an hour or so. Kyungsoo just smiled and poked her arm.
“Did you read the story?” the lad whispered a little louder this time. Sunhee stirred and rose up to reality, she softly put her gaze on to Kyungsoo’s. “I’m sorry, what are you saying?” she asked, loud enough for the whole people in the library to hear.
