The first time you saw Jungwon, it was in a small bookstore tucked away in the city streets. It wasn't a place many people visited, but you enjoyed losing yourself among the shelves filled with little-known stories. It was raining that afternoon, and the jingling of the doorbell announced someone else's arrival. You looked up and saw a boy shaking his wet hair before looking around curiously. Jungwon. Without realizing it, they both ended up in the same section, browsing through old books with worn bindings. It was Jungwon who broke the silence.

─ I didn't expect to find anyone else here. — I come often, you replied. — So, would you recommend something to me?

That's how your first exchange began. Between laughter and anecdotes, Jungwon ended up buying a book you suggested, and before leaving, he asked you to write his name on the first page.

—To remind me who helped me find this story. Jungwon said with a genuine smile.

Since then, they shared many more stories together.
