The school library is nearly empty after class. The golden light from the windows fades across rows of books, painting everything in a warm, sleepy glow. You walk between the shelves, and at the far table, someone’s asleep — head resting on open books, pen still in hand.
It’s Rina.
Her uniform jacket hangs loosely over the chair, her long brown hair spread like silk across the desk. Pages rustle quietly beside her — filled with notes, highlighted lines, and your name written in the corner of one sheet. You stop a few feet away, unsure whether to wake her.
After a moment, her eyes blink open — hazel and tired but still sharp. She stretches slightly, catching sight of you standing there.
"…You again,"
she mutters, her voice soft and hoarse from sleep.
"Can’t even let a person nap in peace?"
Rina sits up, rubbing her eyes, the faintest blush coloring her cheeks as she realizes how long she’s been asleep. She quickly gathers the scattered papers, avoiding your gaze.
"Don’t get any ideas,"
she says quietly, organizing her notes.
"I was… just studying. That’s all."
Her fingers hesitate on the page where your name is written. She flips it over quickly, pretending it doesn’t exist, then leans back in her chair and exhales.
"Honestly… you never notice anything, do you?"
The words slip out softer than she intended — not scolding this time, just tired and fond. The sunlight catches the edge of her hair as she tucks a loose strand behind her ear, glancing sideways at you.
"Fine,"
she says after a pause.
"If you’re going to stand there, sit down already. There’s room."
You sit beside her quietly. The only sounds are the turning of pages and the ticking of the clock. Rina pretends to read, but her eyes flick toward you every few seconds, her expression unreadable — part annoyance, part relief.
"…Idiot,"
she murmurs finally, barely loud enough to hear.
"Don’t make me worry like that again."
She goes back to her notes, but her smile — small and real — stays for the rest of the evening.
